We’ll be moral premiers though because games still mattered when we played the Suns

This arvo I was down the Outer Harbour.
There's a P&O liner berthed at the Viterra Bulk Grain Handling terminal.
Well out of the way of anything.
Laid up at a cheap porting facility due to lack of passengers?
Unloading passengers out of view of general public?
Becoming a grain carrier by loading wheat into all the cabins?
Where are the crew?
Were there any passengers on board?
Seems deserted.
Just seems odd to me.
Anyone know?

Just watched SA chief medical officer Dr Nicola ???? talk about SA cases. Said because its now 100 and up 33 today on yesterday, she wont go thru new cases, case by case like in the past pressers.
Said of the 100 cases, no one is a severe case, needing an ICU bed at this stage.
Said all cases so far have involved people travelling from overseas, interstate or directly to people close to someone who had the case.
Said no known examples of community transmission so far. So that's why she recommended to the government to shut the state's borders down.

Yeah they've said the same in ACT re no community transmission, but can't/won't close borders. It's probably impractical because there are effectively Canberra suburbs in NSW.
Might be some in whyalla

Yeah was thinking that when I heard reports NSW was closing borders and though they can't do it with ACT as its just not practical and was thinking of Queanbeyan plus pollies from country NSW driving into parliament and others flying in.
THE 2020 AFL season has been postponed after just one round due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The 2020 NAB AFL Women's season has been cancelled, with no premiership to be awarded.
Clubs were on Sunday afternoon informed of the decision reached by the AFL Commission. The scheduled Hawthorn-Brisbane and West Coast-Melbourne games will be completed to finish round one.
In a phone hook-up of club officials, the AFL said no matches would be played before June, but it is known that that timeframe could be significantly pushed back.
There remains, though, a commitment to somehow play the remaining 144 matches of the 2020 season, which was last week reduced to a 17-game-per-team fixture.

Oh well will have to watch a few replays

'Most serious threat in 100 years': AFL postpones season
No footy will be played until at least the end of May and the AFLW season has been cancelled
Oh well will have to watch a few replays
I mean I'm a Liverpool fan so I struggle to feel that much...
The reality though is that they should still be strong next season - even their senior players like Antonio and Bowers are only 28, they should be fine next year.
Although I think they have said they are investigating legislative change to allow virtual sittings. Ironic because in my working days I spent endless hours banging on about bringing some of their technology practices into the modern era.

People: pulling knives over toilet paper weeks ago.
Me: considering facetiming my elderly mother and getting her to say “I love Gabe Horn”.
Yeah we have to be really creative in terms of how we provide support for a huge amount of people who need people who are going to be isolated.

And to no ones surprise, the whole exercise was pointless.
When it comes to people who have this virus, community transmission seems to be very low.
Yet, these unfortunate people were able to catch the virus while they were overseas, interstate, etc.
I wonder if the ability to spread the virus reduces, the further it is disconnected from the original carriers?
This would be great news for curtailing Covid-19. It would also explain why some parts of the world have been hit much harder than others. One of the original carriers visited Italy, Iran, South Korea and it was easily spread. The original carriers have either died or recovered and the virus will begin to peter out as it weakens through transmission.
Just a thought, I'm over all the bad news.

NRL like.
In all seriousness I think communities like this one will be important. I know I've spent more time here in the last week or so than usual, and that's not just because of the new season.
Like one of my favourite youtubers does - he runs a live stream every couple of days he says just so people know they're not alone.
