I saw a story on this on ABC news last night. Brilliant work!

(This article from CDU's own website).

CDU students lend hand in face of pandemic
20 March 2020

Medical Laboratory Science students Giselle Dabbs, Ashley Alford and Jessica Adams with Foodbank NT CEO Peter Pilt.
Charles Darwin University students are working to address the current shortage of hand sanitiser, while raising money to help people in need in the Northern Territory.

Medical Laboratory Science students from the College of Health and Human Sciences are working to make batches of hand sanitiser in the labs to distribute to the university community.

College Manager Gus Diaz said the community would be asked for a gold coin donation for the sanitiser with the funds going to Foodbank NT.

“The students wanted to be involved in helping the community,” he said. “This will also be a practical experience for the students in how to use chemicals and work safely in a laboratory setting.”

He said it was a great way to get the students to use their skills to create practical solutions to issues facing the community.

First year Medical Laboratory Science student Jessica Adams said making hand sanitiser was a way the students could help relieve the shortage.

“We are not creating a vaccine, but it is something we can do to help, even at this micro-scale,” Jessica said.

“It has also been a great way to practise our lab skills, learn how to use equipment and conduct research into ensuring the hand sanitiser will work correctly.”

The hand sanitiser will be available from Monday afternoon in the foyer of Building Blue 1 on Casuarina campus.

Was speaking to a paediatrician at the QLD Children's Hospital last night (had son in there for a respiratory thing he gets now and then - all good). Anyway, she said that it more likely than not he will get Covid19 through child care, and then we (the adults will too). Seemed pretty matter-of-fact about it, and only reminded us to keep away from grandparents etc. Mrs CD's parents are overseas, so we don't anticipate seeing them anytime soon...

Fortunately you can take preventions with this virus but you can't prevent these morons
Can't they just close the beaches? They do this in stormy weather and when there is bluebottles etc.

Yes a guy in Japan was cleared after this first recovery and returned 2 weeks later with symptoms again. Copped it twice the poor c***.
They've been watching this closely. There has been at least 3 cases that look like re-infection but they're not sure if it's actually re-infection or if they never fully cleared the virus initially.

Problem is that our most accurate Covid-19 tests are about 70% accurate so it's easy to make a mistake.

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

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.

no one:

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:
A message from Dippin Dots about COVID-19
Sport Clips Cares: Lets buzz Coronavirus together
Farm & Fleet is here to help, Gavin

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.

At least some are being sensible with their social distancing when going to the supermarket...
