News Coronavirus Thread

That's terrible I hope it doesn't impact her chances or the job.

It is Child Care so not sure how that will flow into the shut downs but I imagine at this stage they will likely close.

Then you'd have no football club.

TV companies have ruined the sport.

 

[Del191229]

Time for footy ceasefire!

Don't read anything from there, you'll get no help, apart from perhaps a heads up on government messaging.

As if I'd take anything from one of Rupert's outlets as a source of reliable information - still need to be scanned though.

Mildura has reported it's first case of infection.

That is bad news given there have probably been additional infections up to two weeks prior.

Local residents returning from visiting family in Russia.

Dunno how long they were in the community, nor what isolation factors have been introduced aside from these folks.

If implemented properly, this is governing.

What's the logic behind them going back for 1 day tomorrow?

AFL will brief clubs this afternoon on remaining 2020 games, per Damian Barrett.
"I can’t see Rd2 starting."

Maybe so the staff can be told directly what's expected of them, etc...

Plus, parents who will need to take leave to look after their children can go to work on Monday to speak to their managers, get leave approved, etc...

I knew the entire season would be canned

Then what?

Then what?

Well we're sitting 2-0 and we can get some mileage out of that.

In this instance, most likely yes.

Covid19 is recognized by the adaptive immune system, and the higher adaptive immune response in a young person would see the response to infection arrive quickly.

In fact, when a vaccine does arrive, it should be administered in preferential order according to age 65+ & comorbidity factors, then non age related comorbidity, and finally upon a sliding scale of age from 65 to 3 years of age.

When a vaccine arrives it will no doubt be administered in preferential order to health and age care workers, police and emergency workers, seniors over 65, government workers and Defence personnel, then the broader community. Expect that that will be the order in which it is administered.

In the mean time we need to do what it takes to help flatten the rate of infection to allow the health system to cope and respond over the next eight weeks which will be critical. It is expected to peak around late April in Australia, the more that we can do to reduce that peak the better.

As bad as that is, surprisingly low death count, most of those who died were old people returning from travel overseas.

 

[Roogal]

We're all going to die...............anyway.

There's a happy thought.

At least all those who bought all the toilet paper will be able to make nice mummifications of themselves. Besides, the Sun's shining outside, we haven't embarrassed ourselves against the rabble from Moorabbin, our match attendance was actually up on last year ... so all is well with the world.

you may find the death rate for Au looks better than the US due to the lack of testing in the US. this means that most of the diagnosed cases have been from people that have actually needed medical attention and many effected people in the US who haven't needed assistance are not represented in the figures.

 

[North11]

What's the logic behind them going back for 1 day tomorrow?

Taking school books home

 

[koshari]

well its imminent now, in 48 hours.....

 

[Billy Not Really]

This is bullshit. If we're going into full lockdown mode this needs to be short and sweet, the economy is about to ****ing tank, which is going to put more lives at risk.
