Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[coriander]

Yep, all sensible ... but bugger it, lets go and host an F1 event. Incompetence and cowardice on a grand scale.

One of my sons works for a large multi-national company. This morning he received an email from CEO stating all meetings must be held on skpe or teleconferencing to derisk the chance of spreading CV19. A few minutes later a company email was sent out offering cheap ($10) tickets to the GP this weekend. No-one has a lock on incompetence.

I see you and raise you via the greed of the JAPANESE, they appear to be hell bent on hosting the Olympics, no matter what the consequences.

Along with the Japanese, the VIC Gov should hang their heads very low.

Yes, the completely unfathomable expression by the japanese of still having an Olympics is breath-taking....

Isn't there some talk (murmurs) about putting it back (by up to 2 years)?

They were in the US for the Oscars. Both spotted in LA on 24th February and Ms Wilson was in LA on the 28th February. Tested positive on 12th after symptoms developed. Source Insta selfies. #Ritawilson #tomhanks. Media appearances in Australia early March until recent.

I was just confirming that Rita had been in the USA recently. Though Oscars not relevant as that was Feb 9/10. Too early for incubation period.

As I have posted in other threads my belief is that there are many more infected in the USA than the published figures suggest. A number of our recent cases has stemmed from being infected in the US, or on contact with recent US returnees.

Just heard that the McLaren pit crew member that was in quarantine has tested positive And McLaren has now withdrawn from the race
That should be the end of the GP one would think.

Yes it’s cancelled and it has to be the risk of person to person in large numbers is too high if we want to flatten the curve and save our healthcare resources.

Yes, I've noticed the condescending posts have ceased.... funny that is

Why attack Pushka and other people that think reducing mass events is a good thing? Social distancing has been a key message from the very start...

Now the F1 is cancelled all eyes are going to turn to the Olympics surely.

I actually wonder if the decision has already been made, but they are just working out the ‘how’ and ‘where to’ parts which would not be easy!

It makes sense to continue to push social distancing as all health bodies have advised from the very start and these events are like the opposite of that!

This is the most sensible analysis of the rationale behind a lockdown I have ever read. It takes a few minutes, but is worth the read.

@Pushka do you think I was attacking you? Do you think my post’s intent is anything remotely like what has been described above?

good of you to apologise then, I didn’t think the post was condescending about mass gatherings.

Thankyou jakeseven7 for your rather nice post. I appreciate it. And I really like that you are calling stuff like this out. it's been a bit of a battering from a select few recently.

I do need to point out though that it wasn't amaroo, he has been rather supportive. Unfortunately others were choosing to use my comment made that I didn't think that the GP should go ahead as a chance to attack. Telling me that I was jumping at shadows and that they had it all under control. And then a ra ra group responded with lols etc. and one particularly nasty post that the mods were on to exceptionally quickly. That particular post was deleted and so you wouldn't have seen it. Now that was a nasty post.

I do like that jakesseven7 is calling things like this out though. Makes for a much safer forum which of late has been a bit disturbing. Better watch your step in future hey?

It’s a long thread and takes some commitment to keep the pace, but posting ill-informed and malicious accusations does no one any good.

Keep posting

hahaha, where's my apology? Yeah, didn't think so....

So bets on who Peter Dutton also infected? Scomo? Hunt? While of cabinet? And they aren’t self isolating apparently...

Also pretty sure Trump has it (Dutton was with his family in US and he brought back from US)

will we see US travelers banned from AU?

We are talking about people's health here.

Ummmm I know but not only peoples health - the health of our leaders - He met with cabinet. Hopefully they were maintaining good hygiene and social distance.

Well said. This stuff needs to be called out!
