People will look at teams like Carlton and Fremantle beating Brisbane and think "maybe those teams are good", when maybe, just maybe... Brisbane are poo?

Despite the overall total cases rising in Australia, which was always expected and inevitable, the number of active cases has remained pretty stagnant for a while now. This is very promising, and good news - as is the total number of cases that have recovered since. A full short-term lockdown...

I disagree. I would like to assume that the majority of our population are rational rather than stupid when approaching the notion of bringing a child into a world. The planning, thought and preparation needed for having a child in the normal world is already unprecedented and uncertain for...

This partial "lockdown" will be a pyrrhic victory - if a victory at all - and a major disaster that we will not recover from for 5+ years. It will result in more suffering than the virus itself.

The mortality rate in Australia has gone from 0.8% to 0.6% to now 0.3% in the last week and a half. This is something to be noticed, encouraged and used in regards to resilience when confronting fear-mongering and continued mass hysteria. I have stuck true to my points and the data has lowered...

I'm not even going to waste my time articulating it for you. Either go through the last thread, or this one, or educate yourself. I've been on this topic ad nauseam.

If by doing nothing means not washing your hands, not covering your face when you cough or sneeze, not keeping away from people when unnecessary - then yes, you're right. But still not to the scale of Italy - but worse than now. However, implementing a psuedo-lockdown not only doesn't speed up...

You're still on this weeks later? It was never gonna get to that point, even before a lockdown.

You are putting words in my mouth. It IS a beat-up, more than it needed to be (aka, mass hysteria and hoarding), in regards to Australia. Which has resulted in fear-mongers attempting to justify the dollars they've spent on their cupboard full of pasta - which has done no favors for us as a...

Incorrect.

This is because instead of going into a temporary but comprehensive lockdown, with a foreseeable end, with a quicker result (which is easier to plan for/account losses for and much easier to bounce-back from)... they were placed on a "we'll see how it goes, m8" lockdown which had restricted...

No it wouldn't. A full scale lockdown for a specific amount of time is a lot easier for businesses to plan for, or calculate their losses for, in the lead up to a more comprehensive result (bounce-back). This would mean lay-off's would lower and businesses would opt to account for temporary pays...

Again, as I keep saying to you, time and time again, I was never against a full lockdown if it is done right. And I emphasis the word, right. This is not a lockdown. It is a half-assed attempt - a "two-mind's" approach which has now put the economy in serious jeopardy - and hysteria played a...

This partial, half-assed lockdown, will be a disaster.

Let's be real here, no one cares about AFLW.

If you refer to my past posts, I was never against full lock-downs. To be in favor of a lock-down which spans a short specific amount of time is not an admission of an outcome being high - but an admission that it would save time (and societal stress) in reaching what would have inevitably have...

Hang on, Port and Crows are playing in Adelaide next week.

All of these state closures would be worthless if we've closed the nation's borders anyway. It is a moot-point as water from one end of a pool moving to the other is still in the same pool. If these reactions are to happen, then the only thing that would make actual sense (or any impact) is a...

So the suspension of an AFL season wouldn't be attributed to a positive test result of a player - it would be due to a reaction by a state government. Funny that.

The exact same can be said for full recoveries (which can also be an outcome for serious cases, it's not always death).

It varies. That's why it's stupid to compare countries and data. Focus on your own should be the mantra.

"This coronavirus is a new virus so we can only estimate the fatality rate of COVID-19 in these early stages." Or we can go by what we currently can see instead of fantasies based on assumptions - in Australia it is currently 0.6% (dropping 0.2% in the last week). :) Roby... it's time to stop...

Happens all the time, just this morning I got my rubbish bin confused with Roby

Deaths are a lot easier to pin-point and track, as opposed to active cases. You do realise that the more mild cases are recorded, the less disproportionate the death tally looks in comparison? Do you have any math knowledge whatsoever? Your fear-mongering in this thread is in overdrive so...

Great news today, the mortality rate in Australia has gone from 0.7% to 0.6% - a continued drop since last week. 1,017 with a mild condition - 2 serious/critical (let's hope for these guys)

What you seem to not have grasped is that 99% of cases in Australia are mild with some showing symptoms and some none at all, and have never needed "the medical industry" other than to be diagnosed - before being told to isolate at home and recover. You seem to have this notion that all of...

Hearsay.

Ehh the boys on the panel could be a little more spread apart...
