Hope everything is going alright to that end tbl.

Sure is thanks mate. We are living our best life thanks

Actually we don’t do much anymore so it kind of feels like everyone has been brought down to our level

The virus will die at 56 degrees celsius...

It needs at least 15 minutes at 56 dC.

 

[Event Horizon]

The death rate as a percentage of confirmed cases is at 0.425%, which might suggest that the ICU departments are doing a pretty fair job. However I suspect the death rate is lagging a little as opposed to the number of confirmed cases, partly because the number of confirmed cases is tracking down and also because like many illnesses, some people take longer to recover or succumb.

Nevertheless I think it is reasonable to think that the ICU people are doing a very good job.

There are currently very few corona virus patients in hospitals in Australia, let alone ICUs. Under 20 in ICUs.

 

[Event Horizon]

Not for me either. It must be a throwback to the early 1900’s when cruise ships were the s**t.

Never been on a cruise, but I would guess it could be a lot of fun if you have the right people around you to drink with, kids in the kids club, and some nice destinations to visit along the way.

Premier Daniel Andrews announces $1.3b injection to establish extra 4000 ICU beds in Victoria to fight coronavirus

Guess that means no more money for Kardinia Park redevelopments for the next few years

It is, but it is definitely suited to those without kids at home and have a bit of money to piss away.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Whats there hypothesis?
something we talked about at the start of this?

There are no credible conspiracies.

The virus will die at 56 degrees celsius...

Okay.

Get your body to 56C and let me know how that goes.

So its ok to eat bat or infected human at medium rare or above

I've been told it's actually pretty cheap. You can get a good room for around 2-3k which includes food. If you manage to smuggle some booze on board as well, it's far cheaper than Bali or Thailand or even Queensland.

 

[Event Horizon]

In any event, cruising industry is probably in the s**t for good 2-3 years, as while there are any remaining infections in the world, nobody will contemplate cruising.

Fantastic to hear.

Oldies out, reckless kids in..

Interested to get the thoughts on why the CFMEU hasn't shut down works given the current situation. They send there members home if it starts to rain or if the temperature exceeds 35 degrees. Yet a pandemic that has over 1 billion people in lock down doesn't suffice?

Till there’s a gastro breakout, or any virus, then you’re in trouble.

From what I have been told is that everyone just sits around eating and drinking every day.

 

[Gasometer]

Can you bring this up for Footy Calcified tonight?

The Covid 19 twitter account is reporting 68 patients in ICU's in Australia.

There's a bit of that going on. Turns out the shut-ins have really just been 'prepping' all along.

Reminds me of this tweet....

I think, and just a guess, the tradies wants to keep working, they might not get paid unlike rain or hot days.

 

[Tas]

Okay.

Get your body to 56C and let me know how that goes.

I'm not going to drink bleach or eat soap either for what it's worth.

My in-laws went on a cruise in Europe last year. She was showing us around using Facetime when her voice was drowned out by the captain announcing various measures to contain a novovirus thaty had got on board in Barcelona. Nothing like this one for infection or impact, thank god, but everyone on board seemed to just accept it as a fact of life and my folks didn't say it affected their enjoyment at all. Cherry on top of the hideousness from our perspective, but it was a glimpse into how other people saw the world on board those things.

 

[Sopwiths North]

Cruise ships are my worst nightmare. I'd be in social isolation the whole time even if people weren't infected.

Anyways, here's some goats practicing physical distancing in Wales.
(it's at 0:59 in, if you don't believe me)

 

[Tas]

It needs at least 15 minutes at 56 dC.

So i need a bigger fuel tank? :stern look Don't crush my dream of buying a flamethrower for "medical purposes".
