I think he means 19k this time last week, then +85k to 104k

Yep didn’t quite read it right. Again the people with cv doesn’t matter. We need to sock and the dead numbers. I reckon flu numbers would be as bad every year but luckily for us that usually doesn’t mean hospitals or death

 

[Joffaboy]

So dusted off this tome I purchased about 20 years ago.

Reading for the next month sorted.

Flu numbers are not as contagious and have a mortality rate of 0.1%.

Estimated between 450-600k die each year from flu, so you can imagine the infection rate of flu.

Infection rate of Covid-19 exponentially higher and mortality about at least 10 times more.

My sister in law gave me that a couple of years ago. Might be a good time to read it.

I’m not sure you are getting what I’m saying. If we have the flu numbers we would all be scared out of our brains. I know one is 10 times worse than the other but we are scared enough as it is. Maybe just give us the sick and the dead numbers. 95% of people who cv are as sick as a flu or cold

Do not ignore these people! Don't fall into the trap that US states have fallen into because our federal government has not taken this seriously. It's a small sacrifice.

Just watched this is Facebook

SF doing it right

WA going really well.

1000 piece puzzle?
Knitting?

Probably not. 8 piece is about my limit. Liking the suggestions though

Just gotta find one that appeals to your tastes

Another day confined to barracks. Must admit I'm getting a bit stir crazy now, but at least manage to get out for about an hour each day to walk the dog or get groceries. It's so strange to see everywhere deserted, but I'm now used to not seeing anybody now and am actually enjoying the quiet. It's good to be out of the rat race, in a strange way.

 

[MUFKilda]

It would have to be another beautiful sunny day though

 

[Parkysp]

I dunno man, I think GT was the best thing that's happened to the Saints in the last 21 years, except for Riewoldt and Lenny. Lenny Hayes, how lucky were we? God I love him

Said it before and I'll say it again. Prelim 2005. Sydney doesn't get the 8 weeks of making no changes to their team but we get that and they have our injury run. GT might just be viewed slightly differently. Oh and the old "training services" crap most were collision injuries.

Government to pay workers' wages for coronavirus

The federal government is planning to pay a generous wage subsidy to closed businesses that retain their employees during the coronavirus recession.

Medicare, mental health, domestic violence package on its way in response to coronavirus crisis

Australians will not incur any out-of-pocket costs for consults done over the phone or on video with health professionals like GPs, psychologists and psychiatrists, as part of a $1.1 billion funding boost designed to protect against the widespread impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Not the government admitting they're creating a new problem is it?

 

[MUFKilda]

Saturday afternoon and no soccer, no horse racing, no Aussie Rules, no rugby, no pubs. I can't even get a haircut and will soon look like a 1980s Aussie Rules player. It's the collapse of civilisation.

And if you go outside you'll get a stern talking to.

£30 on the spot fine my mum was telling me (who is in Scotland) if you are seen out of the house by the police without a valid reason.

That must mean not walking for exercise or buying essentials basically.
