    Someone told me last night that the app isn't yet actually working yet while they sort out some operational Issues.
    Does any one know if that is correct or not?

    That wouldn't surprise me

    It has also been alarming that in America, 6 YouTuber's i watch all Tested Positive for the Antibodies
    Some said they had felt sick previous while others said they have been totally normal heath wise

    That is going to be the big problem getting out of the Lockdown Hole, the amount of people that test Positive for the Antibodies, but display as healthy with no fever the whole time.

    How many others may they have transmitted the disease to while in the infectious stage?

    Hopefully our Lockdown period will take care of this problem?

    Australian and New Zealand seem to have done very well out of the Lockdown measures
    Especially when you consider America, the UK and Russia having such huge case increases, while in Lockdown!!!

    Sweden is an interesting comparison considering thier Non Lockdown

    If anyone has any confusion over where we stand on self isolation, this lady shows you why.

    Hehe... No issues with me being in isolation with the wife.. The missus friend popped over the other day and asked,

    Where is your wife? -In the yard. -But I don't see her. -Oh, you just have to dig a little. LOL

    Only took day 10 of Self-isolation to solve the problem.

    This is scary when looking at lifting lockdown

    Number of positive Covid-19 tests from Melbourne Cedar Meats outbreak rises to 45

    How many even had symptoms?
    How many thought they were fine and spread it to family members, went shopping, got thier hair cut, etc?
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    Yes, especially when you can buy petrol in Tamworth for $0.77 and 200km away in Coonabarabran they're still selling it for $1.24/L

    For the first time petrol is now cheaper than LPG which is still being sold for $0.99 in some places.

    Too late, I started a fortnight ago and intend to go get some more this week as I have sourced some more empty oil drums.

    I predict it's going to skyrocket once restrictions are lifted and the world is set free and goes nuts getting out and back to work trying to make up for lost time.
    Still 75.7 near me for proper unleaded.
    Dieso is down as well so I'll get a 200 of that with the unleaded. 95.2

    I'll be looking forward to seeing the "Marketing and distribution" Segment.

    Maybe I could swap the 50 L unit I'm using now onto the house and use the 400L on the house for "Production".
    Should have got onto that a couple of months back and produced Booze for hand sanitiser rather than drinking.

    Probably would have been more profitable as sanitiser than moonshine.

    Probably because the very second they tell the morons not to hoard fuel, guess what the morons will all run out and start doing?

    They only have to make out it works, just some smoke and mirrors for the sheeple, that way they don't have disclose that they have had full tracking and contact analysis on them operating for years. Easy enough to pull the proximity data from the database I would expect.

    If you kindly ensure the bluetooth and gps are active more so the better.

    $1.40 a litre for diesel in Queensland's central west, down from about $1.58, most likely the further west from the coast the higher it is, as per normal.
    Doesn't look like it's going to get any lower either, perhaps the servos are trying to make up some of the lost income because a tourist season that's usually in full swing by now is non existant...or they could be just profiteering...

    Hard to say but maybe not much point,

    With 3 weeks supply in country, no more refineries, no more Australian blue-water fleet including tankers, normally bringing refined product from Singapore which is in lock down and the fuel traders failing. Canberra fishing for access to the US national reserve last week makes some sense!

    All over the place Petrol stations are full because no one is using it with lock downs in place, product storage's are full, the 2 main refineries in California are closed because there nowhere to put the product, like wise India, tankers of crude ordered on the futures market 2 months in advance are piling up on anchor fully loaded and nowhere to send it ashore.

    Added to that you cant just turn oil fields off and on later and magically have them produce as before.

    To make it worse crude is so cheap its a viable option to buy it and store it in anchored tankers till the price goes up and sell it in the future.

    It might become big problem.
