Have they said anything about the Calgary Stampede that’s in June or July isn’t it? That’s a massive money spinner for the town.

Nope. Haven't heard anything. Hopefully things are a bit more settled by summer. Seattle just banned public gatherings of more than 250 people. So Mariners (MLB) and Sounders (MLS) will be playing in empty stadiums.

I reserve mine specifically for the Chinese Communist Party.

Recently left working for a Chinese SOE in Sydney. When working late, sometimes I’d walk past the boardroom and some of the mainland Chinese would be having a video conference With China and a huge communist party flag would be up against the boardroom wall

Denmark following Italy’s lead and shutting down. Yikes in 3,2,1. Yikes.

Yikes!

As someone who has never traveled overseas or has any plans too

Really? How come may I ask?

Edit. Don’t worry, I now understand from reading many of your posts...

Anyone considered that picking ones nose may introduce covid into ones body?

Risk I am willing to take

Poland and Ukraine shutting down schools too despite a low number of cases (Ukraine only has 1). Given what's unravelling here, we should really be doing the same but, no, the GP is going ahead. Unbelievable.

Not quite, only schools and universities, not a complete lockdown.

I think what Denmark, others and eventually Australia are realising is that it hasn't been contained but as more available testing has occured they are now more aware cases. I think it has been amongst the world community for weeks.

I doubt Denmark went from 54 cases to over 500 in 24 hours.

Not having a go, but thats pretty obvious train of thought though - dont test anyone today and tomorrow's number wont increase etc.

AFL Round 1 is in jeopardy. Surely. Imagine the ridicule of seeing a massive 70k crowd at the G for Tigers v Blues.

They'd play in an empty stadium like a lot of other sports are doing I imagine.

Why the f*** the GP is going ahead is beyond me.

Yeah I agree, kind of the point I was trying to make.

Do you think it was in some parts deliberate to not cause panic too early.

It shouldn't be, I think the Victorian Government was trying to sneak though just in time but have been caught out. I bet in South Australia now Womad is over and the Fringe finishes this weekend our Government will take a different approach.

who knows, we see from our government with the GP and flight restrictions that governments have their own reasons for why/how information is released

Now over the years, a newsman learns a number of things that, for one reason or another, he just cannot report. It doesn't seem to matter now so... the following people are gay:

True story: List of names is the crew of The Simpsons and they, being the 90s, had to sign a waiver they wouldn't sue Fox for calling them 'gay'.

It's ok if self isolated in your car at traffic lights

Risk I am willing to take

Agreed

Saw photos on local buy,swap,sell pages of people lining up at supermarkets this morning before they opened - guessing more shelves will be empty (or they are the ones without toilet paper and are making sure they can get some)

They started diagnosing clinically(talking to a doctor) and not from lab tests. They wouldn't have the system in place to diagnose with science, that many cases in one day.

What a load of s**t.

The Australian stats yesterday were not much over 300 tested for a negative result, today we have 128 positive.

Its nothing but a mild issue unless you have a compromised immune system. It doesn't bother young or healthy people. Yes precautions needed to be taken to avoid exposure to those vulnerable to this disease.

But having said that, the more hysteria the better for me, scomo giving me a cash payment of 1000 bucks, as result of the hysteria. I reckon I might try the brothel on, Currie Street now it's upmarket and not the Asian one on sturt Street

Pots also Pretty cheap Atm, might get an ounce or 3. Or load on drinks after the crows first home game, plenty of pick up Material at the casino afterwards.
