    This is what we need down here!
    I think a .50 Cal hanging out the side door would also send a good message

    Looking at the data graphs as interpreted by the FT. we appear to be in a better place than a lot of other countries on our trajectory.

    Just redoing my own maths ~ quotes are nearly 30,000 deaths globally ; percentage of world's population = 0.00034% | reported cases of infection is at 600,000 ... percentage of world's population = 0.00769% ...

    So in other words, those numbers can be conservative/wrong by two or three orders of magnitude before we even get to 1% ...

    Personally laughing my guts out at this....

    You probably wouldn't be laughing when your lungs are drowning and the doctor takes your plastic bubble for a younger patient

    But i know what you mean

    I had a garage roller door come off its mount and take me out first thing this morning
    It did a good job of trying to kill me.... People still dieing from all the usual causes.

    I have a good feeling that its all going to be okay with COVID-19.

    A friend undertook a scientific study in his spare time yesterday and based on the rate in which people are becoming pandemic experts we should have this sorted in no time at all....

    Dyson churned their vacuum cleaners into ventilators.
    Got to say pretty good design only in 10 days and they want to make 15,000 of them:


    Shame nobody here can do something like that but according to ScoMo it is getting better now only 174 new cases, although elsewhere I read Saturday we had the highest single day rise of 450. So somebody is getting the maths wrong.
    Anyhow I guess we won't need extra ventilators because ScoMo and his experts are always right.

    I agree with using this to fix up the numpties who were crowding onto Bondi Beach and so on. However, in this case, there are only about four people on the whole beach. Assuming these are not the die hard "refuse to move after three passes with the chopper" beachgoers, they'd be safer on that beach that in the streets of a city.

    the message wont really be taken too serious until we have the total lock down

    at least the cruse liners are going to leave, but it s those coming back into the country that bring it in with them
    Planes still coming in, and in Sydney apparently some one said they were told if they live within 20 minutes of airport they can go home and self isolate.


    if that was true doesn't sound good.
    You can still go to the supermarket and do your shopping, no one at the checkput waers gloves or any form of PPE.
    Get on a train or bus or other form of public transport and can't keep your personal space.

    I'm glad I'm in the country but there are still nutters of all kinds here, and those that come from other areas.
    At least the grocery buses have stopped.
    We now have cameras at each bitumen rd leading from Perth and heading east and taking photos of all that pass
    and now they are going toimpose travel restrctions that we can't go inter region.
    that still in this state is a bloody long way and a number of towns as well

    We haven't got as bad as the NSW/QLD border yet here in the country bad it will come I guess

    From a buddy in Devon;

    "Police urge Brits to spill the beans on neighbours suspected of breaching coronavirus lockdown: Telephone 'hotline' and online 'snoopers' forum are set up"

    And just like that, the UK is a police state

    To be clear, I'm laughing my guts out at the general fervor & craziness surrounding this whole thing ... when I can't find any numbers to substantiate that.

    No, that is completely incorrect.
    According to some, Scomo and the gubbermint ALWAYS get everything WRONG without exception .
    They have NEVER done a single thing RIGHT yet and every decision they make is flawed, ridiculous, to be negatively criticised and whined about ad Nauseam.

    Please try to keep up with the those without any expert guidance or inside knowledge who always know what is best and what should be done... Wether they follow their own opinions and position or not.
