If you think our Centrelink overload problems were bad, gotta feel sorry for Floridians

Florida releases paper unemployment applications — but there’s a catch

You might want to wait for the state to release a way to submit the form electronically. But it’s unclear when that will be available.

www.tampabay.com

Florida officials are having to revert to paper forms because CONNECT is essentially broken. Thousands of Floridians thrown out of work because of the coronavirus have been unable to apply using the website, which is riddled with error messages and glitches caused in part by the increased need.
And the backup method to CONNECT, the state’s call center, has been similarly overwhelmed, with some people waiting up to 12 hours on hold — if they’re able to connect at all. As a workaround, the department had to create paper applications, which did not previously exist. Allowing paper forms required an executive order from the governor.

Until valuation gets below the percentage threshold for bank lending, in which case expect a fire-sale of mortgagee properties.

Property values could come down anyway imo, they're ridiculous and I'm saying that in owning my own. It's not pretentious but it's my refuge and security and all I really need. I feel for anybody struggling to pay monster rent and having absolutely nothing left over, some day entering the property market just a dream. It's vicious.

China (well Wuhan District) went into government-enforced lockdown - military-enforced home isolation, military-controlled emergency supplies, doors barred - 100% compliance under threat of imprisonment/death.

Wasn't just Wuhan or Hubei province. Friends missus, her teenage son and mother were confined to their flat in Jilin, 2200km away. Not allowed to go out of their door for six weeks, officials came around every morning at 7:30 to take their temperature and drop off three meals each and grandma's medication. 600 million people under lockdown.

 

[Over The Post]

Yep.. And still able to work. Boss has a golf course next door so we can take the dog for a run at least.

What's the rule if your putt is deflected by a lump of dog s**t on the green?

 

[Over The Post]

No. I’m working at one currently. Have a great idea of how many customers are taking the piss and coming in heaps.

Last trip to the supermarket was over a week ago. Loaf of bread lasts me three or four days, 3L of milk a bit longer. I just don't have sandwiches for lunch when I run out. Have to go out again today, will buy two loaves and stick one in the freezer. And lollies. Lots of lollies. Will sit here for another week and a bit. Definitely a "ration run."

 

[Over The Post]

This Ruby princess is a joke. Someone needs to pay with prison time.

Of course they should. But if someone in NSW Health picked up the "possible epidemic" folder and it had a bit listing "bad flu," and followed the instructions to the letter, I don't fancy your chances of a conviction.

Some workers from a factory we use in China sent us a few face masks, paid for out of their own pocket on their own accord which was really nice.

Be angry at the Chinese government, not the Chinese people.

 

[Over The Post]

So basically he's campaigning so I haven't seen anything else from him.

Anyone else see this and immediately thought "swear filter"? The sentence still works.

Couldn’t agree more don’t just throw them all in to one basket. Some extremely lovely people.

Exactly right, it’s ignorant to throw a whole country in to the same basket, Chinese people are some of the most lovely heartfelt gentle humans I’ve come across. Peace out to all the peeps doing it tough

The ones that suffer the most from the CCP are the Chinese citizens.

If they were in charge of a small oil-rich country or in South America the CIA would have arranged a coup a long time ago.

Stay the f*** home. And don't get complacent because case numbers are dropping.

The NRL boss is very keen to start citing a number less than another number in terms of % cases.

Like chirf

Yep, Chief, the most stable genius, still works

 

[Rob R]

Does anyone have anything on those doctors who died in China?
Are they saying they died from Coronavirus or were they murdered?

Just a massive coincidence that even though Coronavirus apparently doesnt kill the young, it killed the young fit whistleblowers.

Interesting take on isolation by Jessica Watson. Jessica sailed solo around the world at 16yo.

Jessica Watson on surviving this isolated life

Jessica Watson survived seven knockdowns on some of the world's most remote oceans to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world.

www.theage.com.au

Christ, I thought she'd gone away. She and her family are fairly unpopular in the sailing community. She was grossly inexperienced even for a junior sailor - during her shakedown cruise, she collided with a freighter because she decided to take a nap in a shipping lane. Her parents should have been prosecuted for child endangerment.

Fun fact - she never actually sailed 'around the world'. She and her support team stuffed up the route planning, and the orthodromic distance she covered fell about 2,000 nautical miles short of a recognised circumnavigation.

 

[TheDudeAbides]

It's also easier to circumvent.

If the system is built on tracking mobile phone location data then the person who leaves their phone at home hasn't moved.

How many people can make do without their phones these days, the addiction is real damnit!

tight tussle between us and norway on the leaderboard, neck and neck the last few days. we have a few more cases, they have more per capita. both soon to be overtaken by russia though. india coming up will drop us out of the top 20 for sure.

these sets of numbers pretty much constitute my sport intake at the moment.

What we've learned is that governments use cases or per capita figures to paint a particular picture.

I think your power rankings is something Australia wish to drop out of quickly, and substantially

[StevoBruiser]

I’ve been drunk for eight days straight after shutting the doors to my business. I’ve worked hard for 35 years with out a holiday. I’m gonna ride this thang out and just chillax.

Our stats are really per capita per jurisdiction.

We're currently at 5,687 cases, so 1 per 4,400 people. But it's really 1 in 2,900 in NSW vs 1 in 5,700 in WA. But it's still more manageable with fewer cases overall.

I don't know how you ease restrictions and keep a handle on things without 0 active cases. Can you trust that a magic number of cases won't explode into thousands?

 

[Forward Press]

More modelling nonsense.

Cool story bro. I will definitely change my mind from your post, who cares about the University of Sydney, they have no idea.

 

[Yidaki]

More modelling nonsense.

Do you also call climate change models nonsense? Cos that is what they are; models. Predictions based off models of what might happen.
