I'm absolutely over this!

NZ PM's conference today has single handedly ruined everything for us. Our wedding was in 2 weeks exactly in Auckland and I've just spent the last 5 hours telling my guests that the wedding is over. The emotional, financial and physical ride getting to this stage all for nothing.

Then you see these ***** at Woolies taking anything they can off the shelves. Just fucking over people and the reactive world we live in today!

If anyone wants to know the main reason experts are concerned about this virus...

The virus was discovered on 31st December 2019. Between that date and the 7th March they discovered 100,000 new cases. Between 7th March and today (14th March) they discovered 46,000 new cases. For reference that's:

Phase one - 100,000 cases in 66 days

Phase two - 46,000 cases in 7 days

That's the problem here. The virus has a high infection rate and it's exponential. Even with China and Italy carrying out massive quarantine measures, the virus is getting much, much stronger.

Slightly wrong. 226 confirmed cases in Australia. 27 in the last 12 hours. This is the problem with Coronavirus. Each person infects on average 1 - 2 others. So it starts out slow then the longer it goes the more numbers explode.

That's why South Korea 1 week ago had about 2,000 cases and now it has nearly 9,000. Germany had 300 now they have over 3,000.

It's a hard virus to read but it's an explosive virus. We're at the early stages where the virus is only affecting a small population but it will explode in the next few weeks.

Sorry to hear bro... I hadn’t got that far along as yourself but I paid a 20% deposit in US dollars for my wedding in the pacific islands and then a Tsunami hit ... ucked it up but the resort was able to hold our deposit and we used it for a holiday latter. Hopefully there is a positive spin on your circumstances soon.

Hope so mate. Having a shit time already with vendors trying to get refunds, so not a good start.

Looks like schools may close over the easter holidays. Extra week closed either side of the holidays. So shut down for 4 wks. Wife is a teacher and emails have already gone out to staff this week that the closure may happen if things continue to trend as they are

Never before in the history of mankind has anyone been able to control the entire population of the world as effectively as it is being done over a (mild) flu virus.
Influenza A is far more deadly than this, but Corona evidently spreads very quickly- but here is the catch - Corona virus is one of the easiest viruses to kill.
Yep - simply use disinfectant to wash everything and you kill the virus.
So what exactly is this beat up - being a Conspiratist from way back I am watching how the entire world population is now being controlled. herded around like sheep and told what you can and cannot do.
How to shop, where to shop, where you can and can't go and all the sheeple are thanking the morons who are controlling their lives.
According to John Hopkins University at 9.00 am yesterday the overall mortality rate for Corona virus world wide, is 0.036% of those infected.
LIVE IN FEAR PEOPLE - LIVE IN FEAR!
Conspiracy theory is a mechanism to explain our individual lack of control in a world in which we are told we have so much control. Reality is that conspiracy theories give way too much credit to any sub-group of humanity (including the one targeted by any particular theory). Liberation is having a realistic view of what you can control (not much), and realising what aspects of your life you can at least influence and enjoy, including for the benefit of your loved ones (quite a lot it turns out).

Ultimately the conspiracy theory approach will let you down, because it encourages a divisive outlook, and uses circular logic (if you don't agree with my assertion about this theory, that must be because you are part of the conspiracy).

Similar discussions at the school I am associated with. Given this thing is most likely to get worse before it gets better, this seems likely to happen.

Nasheed here,
Best ways to stay corona free.

- try not to leave the house unless going to shops or see close friends only. Also restrict your kids if you have them from seeing their school friends, go pubs, cinemas etc.

- If you feel Like takeaway. Get it today. Then wave goodbye to the establishment. And do not have any more takeaway from herein. Infectious people could be making it.

-wash hands with disinfectant and clean down metal surfaces and door handles and that.

-Get to shops nice and early, or drive to rural supermarkets. Stock up on toilet paper this way. Also, get tinned food and lots of it, bread, Medicine, booze, mince and water bottles. Lots of them!

- Sometime during the week, after family showers, clean your bathtub really well. Fill the bathtub to the brim with water and bottle what you can. When it hits the fan and the taps no longer work down the track, you’ll thank me.

- Stay away from Eastwood,Hurstville and Rhodes. It’s ok to drive through these suburbs, for some that would be hard to avoid, but make sure you car is roadworthy and there’s plenty of petrol. These areas have enough car crashes and you really don’t want to be involved during this time.

-Invite family time stay over. Especially the old. Down the line, Barricade doors and windows. Don’t let people know you have stocked up and have goods. At some point people will be desperate.

- if you are bored at home. Do nature. Visit a national park. This is healthy and fun and you are alone with your thoughts, and nature. No people.

- obviously one. Don’t go on holidays, by plane especially, unless it’s to a family farm or house on Smiths lake or somewhere, in which case I’d actually recommend it.

- I know this doesn’t apply to most residents of the Bankstown area, but I think of you don’t have any hard weapons. Now the time to obtain some. For the same reason it’s worth barricading over the next few months, desperate peopel will do desperate things to get in if they know you have prepped up and followed my advice. People who don’t commit crime usually (again rare in the area) will start. Protect your family. The police won’t. They will be at home too. This is just for self defence. Nasheed.

Just passing on what I have heard, take it with a grain of salt, it's your prerogative...

Sometime between tomorrow afternoon and Monday they will announce Sydney will be in lock down. More than likely for 3 weeks.

I have disclosed 3 different sources to mods. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but if they are right, I hope you all are prepared.

If the info is false then I apologise in advance, if it's true I hope my Bulldogs family is stocked up, prepared and locked and loaded for the sheep to lose their minds.
