Sort of hope you get it tbh

#metoo and asap because that way I get in early, while the hospitals are still able to cope.

It's the poor fools who catch it at its peak who will suffer dearly

Unless they shut down the metro train system is this all a bit of a moot exercise?

And people working in office towers

The sniffles? The Coronavirus is worse then the worst flue one can get. There’s a myth that it’s only killing old people, While they make up the majority of deaths, lots young healthy people have also died.

Agree Val it is killing young people, just yesterday a guy with the virus was blowing his nose and stepped onto the road and got cleaned up by a truck.

Italy has lockdown its entire country and its supermarkets are still open.

So who is doing shopping if the country is in lockdown?

Can I have your shit when you die m9?

You can have my collection of early 1990s VFL/AFL cards i.e. Michael 'Mimmy' Martyn, Craig 'Doc' Sholl and of course Brett 'Fruity' Allison.

Good question. Just passing on what was reported.

I'd assume deliveries could continue to happen.

Point being lockdown is not likely to play out the end of the world type scenario.

The Italian government put the entire country -- and its 60 million people -- on lockdown Monday in an effort to contain the newly identified virus.

Confining people strictly to their homes would be much more trouble than it's worth I reckon.

Life will go on, at a slower pace with a lot more personal space, if things get to that point.

People don't need to doomsday shop, I mean really, it'd take a heck of a situation to close the shops completely

So if (when) it happens here I am interested to see how the 'I need the last pack of bog paper' people go following rules like keep distance from other people.

Yes, hopefully our neighbours are a bit more rational as things unfold.

Maybe things escalating so quickly over there is actually a benefit- no time to panic just do what needs to be done

I heard a virus expert interviewed, and she was asked if she had done a doomsday shop. She said she had bought enough essentials that if she gets diagnosed with covid19 she can go straight home without exposing the people at her local shops to the virus.
Made a lot of sense. So I did the same thing. I'll be eating 2 minute noodles and various pasta and rice meals while staying home and playing the PlayStation for entertainment.
Just like being at Uni again.

Apparently cases are set to peak in August for us.

I just think it’ll be a normal flu season but it all depends what European governments want to do at the end of the day

Can't believe it, but I agree with Trump, stop allowing planes full of (potential) vectors in to spread more of this Coronavirus. We are an island, probably too late now, but shut the gate and try to deal with what is already here, a couple of scary words I have seen recently, inevitable and exponential for starters.

Not sure how much it'll do. They're letting Americans come home from Europe.

I can't see anyway AFL will be played with crowds
