Pfft, those NRL stadiums weren’t crowded. Reckon most people there had 1.5m and then some.As soon as the US, England suspended their sports even India suspended their Premier T20 comp, imagine the farcical situation for the world to witness that we played sports following this in crowded stadiums.
Hello NRL.
AFL R1, will NOT happen.
It's not. Ignore the fear mongers. They pose as being really responsible and being the only ones who are genuinely concerned about the situation as if anyone who isn't panicking are the reason the virus will spread. That's what panic does. They have lost their minds and become hostile toward anyone who is calm and getting on with their lives. That's the biggest threat in this whole ordeal. Panickers.
It goes to show how ****ed we are to have so many *******s making a bad situation worse by panicking. In what universe is any of that behaviour sane.
Panic buying toilet paper is hysteria. Preventing the spread of a highly contagious disease that would put extreme stress on our health system by closing down public events and, yes, schools and business, for a short period is not hysteria. Other countries aren’t doing it for fun, it actually works.
It's not sane at all, but its shown how highly strung out society actually is. The wealthy are brawling because they're used to just buying their way out of trouble, and this sort of stuff doesn't discriminate. The less wealthy are brawling because they want their slice of the pie as well and they probably think that if they were wealthier, they could buy their way out of the problem, so they're taking matters into their own hands.
Almost, but not quite right. Look to the VFL premiership tables for seasons 1914-1918 for reference. Many clubs declined to take part, one - University- never reformed, but by 1919 the competition was back up and running despite the death rates of the Spanish flu pandemic. One assumes if they had the knowledge of viral infections we have now and the communication facilities we now enjoy, panic about the SF pandemic would be even more intense than it is now.
At least it's not most people who are like this. Yet. What we've witnessed in the past week is probably a preview of what will ensue if things get worse. At the first slight provocation maybe 10% of the population had a real panic reaction. Maybe if things get worse we'll see worse as the next 10% are provoked to panic and so on. With varying degrees of patience and psychological fortitude each one of us may be tested if and when things get worse and worse.
Agreed there was no air travel, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers were shipped home all over the world and spread the virus. How else to ascribe the spread to the far corners of the planet?
And why would there be a food shortage? Because we might get to a point where everyone is too paralysed by fear to carry out the necessary work they have all been doing up to this point to ensure we have a constant supply of food? So they are afraid of fear causing food shortages in their imagination and not in reality. Do you see why that is panic and not a rational response to a present threat?
