My contract almost-certainly won't be extended beyond its current end-date (end of May). A couple of weeks ago they were preparing to extend it by 12 months.
ThanksObama Corona.
Thanks

He and 150 Australians were taken off the vessel, quarantined, and returned back to Australia. He wasn't hospitalised in Japan though, my mistake.
Australia's first coronavirus death confirmed as former Diamond Princess passenger
A former passenger on the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was quarantined off Japan for coronavirus died in a hospital in Perth early on Sunday, a health official said, becoming Australia's first death from the virus.
You have misunderstood - see jacinda ardern - shes locked down the country - in a month with any luck they are finished with this s**t and back to work.I've probably totally misread what you meant. And note that I can understand the thinking. Also understand why no politician would ever choose it or say it.
kranky al as PM...
'We want this thing to be fast. A quick ripping off of the bandaid quick. We want a million infections so we can get herd immunity and get this over with.
Sure 5% or 50000 people will die. Sure, it might be you or your loved ones, but hey, it's for the greater good.'
Just cannot understand why ScoMo didn't go down this route!
Again, apologies if I misunderstood your post.

Did you put out or was it only hand stuff allowed?
No no - fk no im not a fan of this herd immunity bs - herd immunity is based on a very fragile bet that it doesnt mutate and come around every six months and do it all again.

I understand your point but Thales build both the Hawkei and Bushmaster light armored vehicles in Australia.

COVID-19 lockdown might tempt people to make some odd choices, but reaching out to an old flame shouldn’t be one of them, an expert warns.

Not really what I meant by light vehicles though. Fighting vehicles are another kettle of fish IMO.
Plus our ability to scale production of those types of vehicles from a pool of skilled labour is gone. We would be starting from scratch with the slower response that necessitates.
Aussie are great innovators under duress but adapting industry to purpose is a different challenge to having to create industry from scratch.
Anyway... I'm way OT. PM or start a thread if you are keen to continue.
Come give me a smooch so I don’t have to go to work
Would you prefer we didn't source supplies from there? I mean there are so many other countries with surplus medical supplies they don't need.
Some of the medical PPE sent to China from Australia in Feburary was sold at triple the market price, so technically Australia was profiting from China's misfortune.( I know, Chinese guy but Aus registered company)
NSW has well and truly s**t the bed in this crisis hey?
Good excuse to finally eject them from this country.

Ruby Princess probably contributed half of that figure (and to many other States too), but an increase of about 5% is promising.
Don't tell me you loaded up on the froffs the night before work? Ooooh boy. I used to be able to pull that off in my late teens to early 20s. Wouldn't stand a chance doing it these days
State govt.
The worst part about it is that last year I took a gamble and left my permanent Federal govt position for a role that is far more fulfilling, in an awesome team, even though it pays less and was (at the time) a 6 month contract (has been extended since then, and until recently was a shoe-in for a 12 month extension).
If only I could have foreseen a global pandemic back when I made this call.
Good thing I‘m in my early 20s, old timer
Prob didnt explain myself well in my reply post - those two died out and didnt get a chance to mutate - thanks to trump, bolsonaro and a few other dickheads - see sweden, holland etc - this is going to for a long time in a lot of people and get a really good chance of mutating.
not all of that is bad - it could mutate to something less deadly but more infectious - or vice versa - theres a whole range of things could happen.

Correct, most mutations have no effect and there's always a chance a mutation becomes beneficial (for people). I wish those that keep repeating the 'zomg eight strains of covid!' understood that.
Hows this daycare thing work?
We have stopped sending out son to daycare but we were fine paying the weekly 50% reduction.
