Great opportunity to be productive. I have books to read, gardening to do, a driveway to do and a nursery to paint haha.

Should keep myself busy for a couple of months

So many TV shows and movies to watch that have been on the back burner for a while.
Since leaving home have become more into cooking so think I'll use my alotted leave time experimenting.

Should keep me busy this month.
After that back to work I think and try to stay healthy among the community.

I just renovated one of my spare rooms into a Gym.

Also, yesterday went to Bunnings and got a few things for the backyard, so that'll keep me busy if I have to stay at home.

On a lighter note, I watched The Foreigner on Netflix last night (Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan). Highly, highly recommend. 4.5/5.

Im guessing tomorrows going to be my last day for a while, luckily my wife works for an essential industry i guess.

The wife works for a public school so she should be ok at least.

Weirdest exchange I saw on the 5PM news on channel 10 between a reporter and a woman in Adelaide who was at the airport after a flight. The reporter asked if she was going to self-isolate to which the woman answered that she wouldn’t and when pushed further “Really?”, her response was that she wouldn’t self-isolate. It was aggravating and she did it in such a smug tone right into the camera.

Now she deserves to have that video posted online and face a fine. Disgusting.

Disgusting.

In Vic they are finishing up early on Tuesday and there's talk they won't return until Mon 20th April (officially Wed 15th April at this stage).

They'll still be paid.

Wtf? Our school had just told us that school is closing up on Tuesday but now we've got Scomo & co right now saying the consensus is they should remain open.

States can enforce stricter rules. Vic have brought forward the holidays.

Goldman predicting the most significant economic downfall in Australia since the Great Depression.

An Italian lung specialist, Fabiano Di Marco, says that the Atalanta v Valencia CL game played in Milan, with 40k fans who had traveled from Bergamo, was a biological bomb and very likely the main cause of what is going on in Bergamo right now.

McDonald's and Nandos closing down in the UK until it's all over.

I can’t see normal programming resuming in Australia for at least another 24 months. Then the long road to recovery starts. Crazy times we’re living through.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

The U.K. will be in full lockdown mode by the end of the week, guarantee it. The Government have avoided draconian measures to try and let people have an element of freedom during this pandemic, but it’s not working. Too many boneheads out there unfortunately who are not listening and carrying on as normal.

24 months? Vaccine in the next 16 months.

He’s probably talking about the economic situation. Could take longer than 24 months for that though

 

[WealstoneRaider]

What an utter campaigner

 

[Ahsog]

That’s a very precise time frame. Who is reporting 16 months? That’s certainly optimistic given some vaccines takes years and sometimes decades to develop.

dickheads back at Bondi today. Also saw pics of Lamborghinis and crowds in London streets overnight, when most other cities were like ghost towns...

didn’t those idiots licking ice-cream last year get jail time?

It's actually being reported as being in the next 12 months. I was being conservative.
