We were in Coles yesterday and this little pregnant lady was at the checkout being pilloried for trying to buy 3 tins of infant formula instead of the two she is allowed. She tried to explain that she didn’t get the chance to shop much and had two babies at home, but the grumpy store manager would have nothing of it. So of course we interfered and purchased two tins and gave them to her.
Some of this is just over the top.
Yeah thats ■■■■■■. My wife (also pregnant) got some toilet paper, one pack, becausr we are nearly out. Snide comments from some chick behind her. I was furious when she told me. The veneer of civilisation is very thin.
Maybe it’s not the shopping that’s the problem here
Quality.
I think our initial climb was due to imports. This initial plateau might ramp up again. Stay vigilant!
Especially when we’re all advised to cough into our elbow crease?
Yeah but I only have 1 financially independent child that doesn’t travel with us. Most of my work colleagues have 4 or 5 kids and wonder why they are struggling. I keep telling them to tie it in a knot but they won’t listen 
Not really. The car had a melbourne dealers sticker on the back window and they dressed like big city people rather than our locals.
Our grannies and housewives ren’t particularly violent.
Unfortunately in this case.
57 new cases in NSW for 267 total (39 yesterday)
My uni has shut down for a week.
A week?
You will probably be getting weekly updates.
So my social tennis comp has put it on individuals to decide if we should play or not… I’m leaning no but feeling kinda guilty as I may be letting the team down… But I understand trying to limit the spread. What would you do?
Don’t go.
Don’t even think about it… just don’t go.
Take this thing seriously. You will be ahead of the curve.
Spoke with my son this morning, he has been living in Guatemala. Meant to come home in late April. (don’t think he will be though).
They went into lock down last night. As of now 5 people in the country have it.
A couple of days ago a woman was going through the ALDI checkout and was justifying to the checkout chick her purchase of TWO boxes of corn flakes “as she had been away and had none left…I’m not hoarding…”…the check out chick rolled her eyes and “it’s ok… don’t worry about it…”
People are feeling guilty for just good o’l garden variety weekly purchases.
If you reckon the rona might stop you from enjoying tennis, dont play. If you dont think it will make a difference to your enjoyment then play.
Didn’t you take offence to players laughing after a VFL game - not sure who is more serious
What if it makes him play better?
Yeah. The problem with going into lockdown in say Brazil is they view their homes completely different to how we do. They are out and about all the time, the home is not a place you spend alot of time in.
Added to this their need for contact via hugging/kissing is cultural. I have no idea how they will practice social distancing let alone lockdown if it does get hold there.
