Dear posters: unsubstantiated advice will be deleted. We understand you want to help, but #fakenews blah blah blah we're not allowing any disinformation. Got some great advice about washing your hands whilst dancing like David Byrne in Once In A Lifetime helps kill the virus? That's fantastic, provide a link to a reputable source.

First time the country has had less than 100 cases in a day since March 17! They’ve expanded testing in most states to include even people with temps above 38 degrees.

 

[Grooster24]

Yes, hopefully a spotlight is turned on WHO.

Won't all countries governments be held to account/judged on how each country made it through Covid-19?

Why would it just be Trump?


Don't you think the Italian guy whose insipid response and his "hug a Chinese" moment would get questioned?

How about Boris who thought the herd route was a winner and was actively shaking every Tom, Dick & Harrys hand?

What about the Swedes who are pursuing the herd option - on the way to killing their old and vulnerable at staggering rates.

I guess the Chinese leaders are safe, no one will criticize their lying, cover up and deceptive conduct.

But but what about Trump, the fascination is amazing.

Yep. Agree with the other countries comments you made. I was only looking at news headlines re the Trump perspective. He appears to be on the front door against WHO/CCP ( rightly so) but it's distracting the criticism against him... hopefully just for now.

Yeah this is such good news. Most of that recent spike was the returnees from overseas and the cruise ships so now it's about getting a better read on community transmission. But all in all we seem to be doing pretty well. Hopefully we can maintain this and everyone keeps on task and keeps up the good work.

 

[GROTTO]

Not on my watch.

The coronavirus facts China wants the world to forget

The 37-page document listed - as described by Xinhua - the 'main facts and measures China has taken' to contain the epidemic. However, it has left out some of the most crucial events.

www.dailymail.co.uk

This is 2020 China, you have brought the world to its knees, it will rise again and hard lessons will have been learnt.

 

[Grooster24]

I think we all need to be clear that we are bashing the Chinese government.. not Chinese people.

We should be referring to them as the CCP, as opposed to China collectively. "China" includes their citizens, who should not be held to account for their governments regime.

Did the baggage handler cluster come from touching bags from a Ruby Princess cruise traveller??

In the pre season thread a few of us were discussing that we didnt trust China and that they were keeping things secret about the virus in Late January and early Feb, we even discussed doomsday prepping and you're telling me governments around the world didn't have the same inkling as us?

Australia is doing quite well by comparison but some rather large mistakes were made by the government, im not a scomo fan at all but at least he eventually stepped up to the plate, or maybe the state heads forced him too but thank god we dont have Trump, his ego will kill millions

 

[StonesThrow]

And? That's just more "whataboutTrump" ism. Did the WHO get it wrong?


Or: "We're not talking about the Northern Adelaide Health Service here, this is the world's principle health authority... Yet we've still got people coming out with "yeah but what about Trump?""

You don't have to convince me about China and their tentacles of influence. Bang on about them as much as you like. I'm not defending either of them.

Welcome back. Good move to get to the shack early and avoid the traffic.

How’s the weather?

The shack is where I live. Pretty sure I was clear on that, I’ve no plans to drive 900km return to spend a couple of days in a tiny cottage in North Adelaide. Did I miss something important? Have the rules in SA changed? Are we still tracking on the Italy curve as you were so certain of? Do you have ANY credibility at all? You’re Vader, but without the sense of humour.

I was accused of going on and on and on again attacking Scomo. I had made a dozen posts and many of those were related to the stupidity, imho, of the NFL, AFL and Grand Prix to carry on regardless.

I have spent the last week re-reading this thread from the start.

Three posters have blasted beyond 1,000 posts, would anyone like to guess who are The Three Musketeers?

End of Feb in our fam whatsapp chat we were saying we were sure the borders will be closed in a day or two. It does seem like the people, the herd so to speak, realised the threat collectively before the govt acted (hence the panic buying that broke out early March). Took a few weeks longer but we got there in the end.

Didn't the herd say we needed to be in full lock down otherwise we’d end up like Italy 2 weeks ago?

If that was at the Crows he would be promoted.

I'm talking about the herd as in the majority of people who clearly realised things were more serious than our response reflected at the time. You're talking about Jenny.

Not everyone is as slavishly devoted to a particular political party or ideology as you two. Some people let their own minds do the thinking.

So you think it was just Jenny that said we needed to be in full lockdown? Was she the only one saying we weren’t doing enough?

My point from the beginning of this was that none of us are experts, even though everyone acted like one. As it’s panning out that’s been proven.

 

[mattymac]

Wow, has to be sacked

Hahaha as if he only told the premier 2 days ago that he's been there for weeks

We've had to share our calendars for weeks and everyone knows where we are every day. To suggest those measures don't exist in the highest level of NSW government is laughable. They're fast becoming a bad joke.

 

[GrommoT]

Yeah, scomo has picked up his game in the last fortnight.. his sign language lady still has her reservations though...

Anyone know if that's in the Auslan curriculum?
