There was a Japanese pig who caught it and intentionally went out to spread it at a bar.
He died yesterday Great success

That is fucked up.

Nearly 1000 in Australia now within a week that will triple which will have our medical system stretched within 3 weeks there will be thousands more with our medical system buckled.
Does anyone really trust a politician to say keep kids in schools ?
FUCK THAT ....

Genius. Some ‘intrusion of rights’ probably stops it being compulsory.

Actually perhaps number 1 means if you don’t do it you don’t come in..and number 2 says it’s up to you if you wanna do..you just don’t come in.. I may just have been a Blue Boost..as in an alarmist!!

You’d hope so mate, otherwise it makes a mockery of containment efforts...

Hypothetically, - If right now everyone was to isolate in there homes for the next 3 weeks, Im talking no shopping, no work, no leaving the house for any reason,
is it likely that the virus would die out in this country completely?

I hope so too..or we are pretty much f@&ked!

What's grinding my gears is the amount of "Coronavirus Porn" out there (no, not the pornhub type), especially on Linkedin. Every law firm and the like want to tell us about Covid19 and how they can help etc. Then there are the emails from random businesses who I might heave dealt with 3 years ago and now need to tell me about how their business is continuing through the crisis.

Fuck hoarding. This is what the PM should be talking about. Just stop it.

Am I the only one over everyone trying to out Corona each other?

I thought this article was apt from Junkee:

Every Company In The World Is Sending Coronavirus Emails And People Are Baffled
by MICHELLE RENNEX 19 MARCH 2020

There’s no doubt that COVID-19 coronavirus is a very serious thing.

With almost 200,000 confirmed cases across the globe, it’s no surprise that people are doing all they can to slow the spread of the virus — from washing their hands for longer periods of time to partaking in the recommended bouts of self-isolation.
But what a lot of people are now noticing is an influx of emails from businesses sharing their exact plans of what they’re doing in a time of pandemic.

absolutely no one:

honestly, truly, positively no human being:

an email from a restaurant you made a reservation at in 2017 and haven’t thought about since: WE LOVE ALL OF OUR LOYAL GUESTS AND WANT THEM TO BE SAFE WE ARE MONITORING THE CORONAVIRUS AND WILL UPDA

Now, I don’t know about you but I do not remember giving my email address to so many random companies. Yet, almost like clockwork, people were flooded with a whole bunch of random emails from restaurants, clothing sites, and car companies assuring their customers that everything was OK. Because there’s truly nothing more calming that 50 businesses you forgot about mass emailing you to stress that absolutely nothing is wrong.


Not even the rich and famous could avoid the dreaded “how we’re taking precautions for coronavirus” corporate email landing in their inboxes. Singer Kacey Musgraves tweeted about the strange phenomenon earlier today proving that none of us are safe from knowing how clean different businesses intend to keep their shop floors from this day forth.

The strangest part is there’s really no rules for the corporate corona email update — any business qualifies! You don’t need to be food establishment or a make-up counter, the possibilities are truly endless.

Like, do you remember that one time you went on a back-lot studio tour in LA? You bet you have an email on Universal Studios Hollywood’s next steps sitting in your inbox. Oh, and don’t forget that time you booked a one-night stay through Hotels.com back in 2013. Yep, they’re letting you know what their plans are too. Haha, silly you! Of course that random two-star restaurant in rural Western Australia wants you to know that they’re taking extra measures to keep customers safe too.

One strange side effect of living through a pandemic is finding out all the companies that have my email address on file

My inbox is like:

Unfortunately for all these companies who think they’re doing amazing work, these “send to entire database” emails have simply reminded people they need to unsubscribe from a heap of businesses. But, hey. At least they’ve given us something funny to bond over until COVID-19 passes over.

I'm getting so many emails from companies I haven't shopped with in 15+ years explaining how they're cleaning and planning to deal with coronavirus.

Waiting to hear how Blockbuster, Circuit City, and Toys R Us are all sanitizing their stores by the end of the night.

Nah. There's some cases of the virus staying in people's system for up to 1 month (possibly longer), and we can't shut down the whole country. There would still be hospitals, grocery stores and other essential services going that would continue to spread the virus.

Right now we're at the stage that we know that a large portion of the world will be infected and we're just trying to slow it down to reduce the amount of pressure on the hospital systems.

Probably not but this is what needs to be done this second to curb it and not cripple our health care system. Italy has been the first honest country we know what's coming in ways we are accelerating faster then them it might not be as bad or could be 10 times worse why risk it NYC,California, spain, parts of France are on lock down why the fuck are we holding of to what we know is coming for us

Don't want her in trouble but it was pretty fowl, her behaviour. I get it she probably heard that question 5090 times that day but it was the first time I asked it. I deserve proper courtesy even if I shop at 7pm as opposed to 8am. She needs to just be professional and smile

She won't get into trouble.

Was keen on buying her a coffee and telling her next time you pop into Coles, to smother her hands in Aloe Vera and bitch slap you

Yeah I get where trying to moderate or aiming for a linear curve with the rise of infection so our healthcare system can cope. With that I think it will be around alot longer and that some may get it 2-3 times. I didnt realize it can stay present for a month.
