That should probably be when.

Talk to me your highness

You have to promise to keep it on the down-low because these are huge opportunities that we can't just let everybody in on. You have been selected based on your outstanding judgement and character.

Do we need to transfer a small down payment in order for you to recover your inheritance?

Can l send you what is left of my super ?

I agree with some of what you are saying. I am very glad that we don't have that idiot Trump in charge.

I don't know how you can in the same sentence accuse the PM and State Governments of being overzealous and give them credit for keeping numbers manageable. That is contradictory.

The population density thing is a red herring unless you live in the country. Our major cities have enough density for this thing to spread and it is in all of our cities.

The biggest enemy Australia has in a situation like this is complacency. If we just assume that there are reasons why Italy and the USA are worse than Aus and we could never be facing what they are, then we are stupid. We might have better health systems but every system has a limit. Victoria, for example, has about 700 to 800 respirators available in total. Once they are all occupied and there would never be a time when they are all free, the mortality rate will surge.

I have said it a few times before, but we got hit very early with this and there have been slight changes over the past two months that should reduce the risk of large infections and outbreaks unlike the US who didn't really change anything. That is why we got hit by them.

It is providing just a small amount of assistance to my very close and trustworthy friend, the Nigerian defence minister, to facilitate some cash transfers. You would be helping to deliver RPG's to those in need and earning double bubble at the same time. I have already said too much though....

Strict minimum investment amount I am afraid. I can share that with you once you have informed me how much super you have left.

This posters financial portfolio advice shits all over their public health advice.

How does not as much as l had a f****n fortnight ago sound ?

Population density will be one of the defining factors with this virus. The greater the density, the greater the spread of the virus and the harder it will be to control/contain. Especially if you live in a free and democratic country.

I have no problems with giving the Federal and State Government's credit for the measure they have taken to date, even if I think some of these measures are disproportionate to what is actually happening and contributing to the unnecessary panic we are seeing around the country.

 

[Ether]

Bull. Shit.

Of course density matters but Devo's figures are not particularly relevant. Australia's population is 86% urban. Italy's is 70%.

 

[CURVE]

Why 30 days? That seems like overkill to me.

I keep all my denaros under a loose floor board in my mistress’ bedroom.
What’s my next move?

Maybe not for the Young-ens but for the older Guys:

Men’s magazine Playboy is shutting down its US print edition after nearly seven decades as it reels from the coronavirus crisis.
Already facing significant financial troubles, it was virus which sounded the death knell for the magazine’s print edition, the company said in a blog post.
The upcoming spring edition will be the last for the magazine, which was renowned not only for its nudity but also interviews, in-depth political coverage and fiction.

Edit: Hang on, where were they?

 

[CURVE]

Of course density matters but Devo's figures are not particularly relevant. Australia's population is 86% urban. Italy's is 70%.

Rome has slightly less people than Sydney, but the density is 2236 people per square kilometre compared to 423. European and Asian cities are compact, while Australia cities are spread out, less dense. If Sydney in it's current size had the same density as Rome it would have a population of more than 27 million.

Here is the density figure that matters. It's the ONLY density figure that matters.

4 ****ing metres.



Now try and factor the lifestyle's of suburban Italians & Australians in relation to this.

Italian suburb:




Australian suburb:

[SMaturin]

On Italy, even the non-urban, regional towns and villages are largely apartment buildings with surrounding farmland.

Very different setup.

Would you be of the view that there is a higher propensity for the population to come within 4 metres of each other, in comparison to Australians?

 

[SMaturin]

Would you be of the view that there is a higher propensity for the population to come within 4 metres of each other, than is the case in Australia?

Nah.
But I’m not informed enough to comment. I was speaking purely on the urban planning, which as you say is likely irrelevant.

You need to arm yourself! The Covid19 zombies will be coming for your stash and your mistress when the apocalypse arrives.

Which is Tuesday week at about lunchtime by the way.
