COVID-19 - January 22 to March 22

There are always exceptions.
I’m talking about the amount of people at I’m hearing say they can’t go two weeks without pay.
We have blokes at work on $80-100k and absolutely crapping themselves with fear as their CC’s are maxed out and they can’t afford to be out of work for any period of time yet they all spend $1000’s a year on footy club memberships, eat out all the time and go OS several times a year

You’d be surprised how many people/families live from paycheck to paycheck - and for any number of reasons.

Completely disagree. Not sure how you can honestly take that stance with bits like “Share this far and wide lads before they (women) take it down!!” or “… I’ve been taken out by the “Bra Burning Brigade””.

It’s intended to portray women in a negative light as controlling over lords and it’s simply not funny.

The whole tone of the joke is a dig at lazy males. Damn women!! They wont let us lazy ■■■■ sport obsessed males do nuffin’ with our lives. Read it that way. It’s a friendly gag.

Anyone heard from Minister for Honolulu?

I haven’t seen any of the ad blitz telling me to wash my hands, der.

What they need to do is get a LifeSize cardboard cutout out of a true blue Aussie bloke, I hear Scott Cam is good for it, and stand him at the entrance to every supermarket.

Give him a catchy slogan telling folks to pull their heads in and save some for everybody else.

Def not my doing

Is weird seeing the players elbow tap at training rather than high fiving lol.

They are obviously modelling their behaviour on your example. :wink:

And pointless to considering it’s a contact sport.

I’ve been out to find chicken necks for my pup three times, now, and unsuccessful.
Farkin chicken necks ffs

You are a really serious person Mr Strewth. You need to be calm and relax.

I showed the Expert in all these matters; Mrs Fox the Third.

She took no offence and suggested all its shows is how childish men are; then she added that is it absolutely true though that men are happy to sit and watch sports on TV all day, or drink with their mates at the pub, are worse than babies when their nose starts to run, and put off all jobs around the house on the slightest excuse. I actually take this as a warning from her.

As my fridge is full of Corona, I am drinking as much as I can to get the virus.

Strewth on a hiding to nothing here. But right. The bra burning bs, the undertones are there. Worse sin though in this case, just not very funny or clever. Gotta do better in the year 2020 BloKes

We had a land cruiser with 5 people in it roll up to the local Coles with a bloody big trailer which they proceeded to stuff full of goods.

And they survived?

It’s possible these people live in the area tho?

Maybe half those people don’t have cars?

Thats the thing. I was reading about a lady with 8 kids doing a regular shop and ppl guilted her in the supermarket, sometimes hard to know the back story. But jeez it can be hard to give the benefit of the doubt atm.

Daily Update :

We welcome to the leaderboard Gambia, Montenegro and Barbados. We now have 165 countries / territories on the leaderboard. If you’ve ever tried to work out exactly how many total countries and territories there are in the world… well, it isn’t easy. I’m running with something like 200. That is a lot of spread in a short time for a little virus. It is probably very proud of itself.

Joining the “Over 100” club today is UAE, Russia, Peru. However these were overshadowed by Ecuador smashing through the barrier with a 91% increase in cases, and Luxembourg with a 73% increase.

Up the top of the leaderboard and Germany have overtaken S Korea to move into 5th place. A non-impressive day from Germany racking up 2095 new cases which is only behind Italy for daily increase. Interestingly, Germany have the least number of deaths total out of any of the top 10 countries. Considering that their 2095 new cases in the last 24 hours would put them in 10th position ahead of UK on 1950 cases total… that’s a surprising effort. Must be the Schwarzbier. Drink more beer - helpful community message for the day.

The “Most Non-Improved” award today goes to the USA, and finally we are starting to see what might be the first signs of the real performance over there. 38% increase in cases is a very big number for a country already sitting in 8th place. From my numbers, you have to get down to Luxembourg in 46th place before that percentage is beaten. For the first time, the USA move ahead of Australia in terms of cases per million population. {shitabouttohitfan.gif}

In Australia, it does appear as if we have had a quieter day. 51 cases for the 24 hours is a much much much better number than the 100 odd from yesterday. It sits us at about a 13% increase, which is still more than we would like, but I’d consider that number good. It does still see us climb up a spot on the ladder to 20th position, leaving Qatar in our wake, (3 new cases Qatar??? really???).
