Peter Dutton has Coronavirus. There's a chance he's come into contact with Morrison who's going to the NRL tonight... this won't end badly.

Couldn't have happened to a better person.

Morrison is useless, this will be catastrophic for his leadership, will make the bushfires look like a spark.

Say what you like about his policies, but wishing illness, or revelling in him getting ill, is a bit much.

Whilst I do agree with this sentiment, some of those policies of his have put people thru much worse than the flu like symptoms he will endure.

Ok? So an eye for an eye hey?

No not at all. I agree to not wish harm or celebrate it.

Just pointing out what he will go through over the next week will be nothing compared to what he has caused to many

I'm really not sure what point you're making. Your two paragraphs are seemingly contradictory.

Scomo, Dutton and most of the Libs are campaigners of the highest order, but come on, lads.

Been arguing with people on twitter this evening. Seen far too many people revelling in Dutton’s plight. Really was a shame to see and its something I thought you’d be above to be honest.

There isn’t a healthy person on the earth I hope contracts the virus and I hope every last person who presently has it has a speedy recovery.

They are but that's my point. I don't agree with the notion of celebrating it.

But just raising the point as to why some may.

Starting to worry about impact this will have on work. If this becomes more than a two week thing a lot of businesses will be ****ed.

I think perspective is important in all of this. On Dutton, Whilst I agree it’s poor form celebrating anyone getting ill, unless he has existing medical conditions he’s essentially just caught a cold with the added inconvenience of needing to quarantine.

Reality is that’s the case for 99% of the population. I agree with most precautions being taken like travel and mass gatherings, but the panic and fear mongering is threatening to do far more long term damage than the virus will.

It has been pretty awful to see this bring out the worst in parts of society. If we all follow the advice given and help each other out there shouldn’t be any need for this to be a long term issue. To see how many have acted to this relatively ‘mild’ pandemic gives real fear for what will happen to society when we do come across a much more serious crisis.

The amazon series 'The Test' is really good on prime if you want to burn through about 6 hours of boredom.

Was pretty good, top 10 very solid.

100-200 was a bit dodgy.

I actually thought the 100-200 was pretty good. Some songs that I expected to be top 100 like The Suburbs fell really low.

Ruel getting so many songs in is ridiculous, pretty clear fanboy/fangirl voting there.

Down in the girlfriend's parents, don't have an ability to set myself up

****ing hell is this what the rest of 2020 is going to be like?

Wonder how Sky Sports and the like are going to cope. Loads of people must be cancelling subscriptions

I think Sky will be fine. A hit for sure but nothing they won't recover from.

I'm a big wrestling fan, and it's going to impact the independents in the industry significantly. Much the same way roadies etc will be impacted by it.
No shows, no paycheck.

Some very concerning times ahead.

We are looking at a potential scenario where the whole of sport is wiped out for months, in fairness who knows for how long. It’s going to massively impact all parts of the industry. Reckon they are going to lobby hard to have sport played behind closed doors.
