Footy with no crowds is just a bit shit and may actually cause more people to drift away from the game. They know this, which is why they are considering ridiculous ideas like piped in crowd noises. It might be in their interests to wait until crowds can return in some form.

I actually don't think it's that bad in and of itself, but the coverage is (or was the one game I watched) because you've got commentators screaming and then an awkward silence after. Would need to make the coverage less ... I dunno the right term. Polished? More like VFL radio commentary rather than the canned lines and 'professional' enthusiasm from the likes of Bruce McAvaney which only really work when bouncing off the packed stadium setting.

She says the patients on average were 13.5 days removed from their release when they tested positive again, although the longest gap was 35 days.

There was talk early on of a Japanese tour guide in Osaka getting it twice

Can Recovered Coronavirus Patients Test Positive Again?

This is what experts know about COVID-19 lingering when you no longer have symptoms and if it means you're still contagious.

NZ Covid-19 media release

Summary
New Zealand is facing a serious threat to the nation’s health from COVID-19. Thus far, the health system has coped well. We currently have over 1300 cases with little evidence of strain or excess premature death.

The government and its advisors have articulated a strategy of ongoing lockdowns of New Zealand society for the foreseeable future in an attempt to eradicate the virus. We believe that holding out for vaccine development or pursuing an aggressive eradication policy are not realistic.

We are a group of academics who are concerned that such a strategy is not proportional to the threat posed by COVID-19 to New Zealanders’ health and that it is likely to substantially harm the nation’s long-term health and well-being, social fabric, economy, and education.

We recognise that COVID-19 has overwhelmed some hospitals overseas, with overflowing intensive care units in some densely populated cities, such as New York, and Milan. This is the principal risk posed by the transmission of the virus and we seek to avoid such a situation in New Zealand. In some European countries, there is excess mortality attributable to these outbreaks. Rest homes are especially vulnerable to outbreaks caused by the virus.

We believe that such a scenario is less likely to occur in New Zealand due to our lower population density. We also see that Australia, a country with greater population density in some regions, but in many respects, similar to ours, has seen sharply reducing disease incidence for several weeks, despite having a more relaxed lockdown policy..."

Our 10 point plan

1. Low risk people should be allowed to return to their normal daily activities. For example:

• Schools and universities should reopen.
• All leisure activities are permitted
• People should be allowed to return to work. Those over 60 and or with underlying health conditions, and those uncomfortable returning to work, could continue to work at home with support from their employer and government.
• Domestic travel by any means is allowed.

1. People at high risk of severe complications by virtue of age (> 60 years) or medical conditions (such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer or are immunocompromised) should continue to self-isolate and maintain social distance. These people should receive state-funded support and priority care. For example, supermarkets should prioritise all such people for at-home delivery.
2. Health professionals should carry out strict hand hygiene and be provided all necessary personal protective equipment.
3. High risk communities and groups, with particular focus on rest homes, should be protected from COVID-19 cases or infection and provided government support to do so.
4. Gatherings of over 100 people are prevented.
5. Encourage improved hand hygiene and exclusion policies for ill workers.
6. Border entry is restricted for the near-future to reduce the risk of imported infection.
7. Monitor hospitals for overcrowding and limited capacity in intensive care.
8. Contact tracing and quarantine of newly identified cases is essential. Resources should be made available to ensure this is adequately carried out.
9. Seroprevalence surveys, with PCR, should be considered to assess the proportion of the population who have been exposed to the virus. This would give valuable information about further risks posed to high risk individuals to facilitate their return to the community.

Founding members of the group are:

• Dr Simon Thornley – Senior lecturer of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, The University of Auckland
• Dr Grant Schofield – Professor of Public Health, AUT, Auckland
• Dr Gerhard Sundborn – Senior lecturer of Population and Pacific Health, University of Auckland.
• Dr Grant Morris – Associate Professor of Law, Victoria University of Wellington.
• Dr Ananish Chaudhuri- Professor of Experimental Economics, University of Auckland and Visiting Professor of Public Policy and Decision Making, Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA
• Dr Michael Jackson – Postdoctoral researcher; expertise in biostatistics and biodiscovery, University of Wellington

I was sceptical at first but I do think they'll squeeze in a shortened season if our numbers keep going the way they are. No chance of crowds though, I imagine mass gatherings restrictions won't be lifted before the end of this year.

They will be playing games by the end of June, no crowds until October

 

[Over The Post]

Thats covered by the poor isn't it?
I mean if they just had a go they'd not be poor right?

True dat. The best form of welfare is a jerb, according to scomo.

And if that fails double the handouts so the million newly starving voters don't track you down and barbecue your porky arse before the next election.

 

[Over The Post]

Could get ugly to be honest. Would essentially be a Head of State endorsing civil unrest.

Cool! Civil War re-enactment societies spring to the fore, but with rednecks and paramilitary cops. Fun for the whole family!

China’s death toll has increased by 1,290 in one day, to a total of 4,632.



Is the truth finally coming out?

 

[Plugger35]

Those 1290 new deaths are probably the whistleblowers that threatened to tell the rest of the world about China's real number of deaths.

Lol! Anyway, I've been up long enough waiting for you to shitpost again, so I'm off to bed now that you haven't disappointed.

Curious to know why globaly, as in Australia, all statistics are divided into male/female only?

I think its appaling He/She -- Zie, Sie, Ey, Ve, Tey, E Him/Her -- Zim, Sie, Em, Ver, Ter, Em His/Her -- Zir, Hir, Eir, Vis, Tem, Eir His/Hers -- Zis, Hirs, Eirs, Vers, Ters, Eirs Himself/Herself -- Zieself, Hirself, Eirself, Verself, Terself, Emself are excluded from all official statistics.

Yeah but you’re an idiot.

They’re all working off the old script of “pause for applause”.

Colbert is painful, as he mugs to total silence, then launches into his next joke.

 

[Over The Post]

Yeah but you’re an idiot.

Post reported; Gralin sort it out please. Enjoi ur ban.

Post reported; Gralin sort it out please. Enjoi ur ban.

Just saying what we’ve all been thinking for YEARS.

 

[Over The Post]

Hey when *I* tried it Gralin canned my post and sent a disrespectful alert. Are you saying you've got some sort of impunity and can do what you like because it's your phwoarum? This isn't an oligarchy. Go back to your penthouse in the Bigfooty compound and take a good hard look in the mirror.

 

[BFew]

footy and nrl will be back end of may,

Hopefully with betting on the results banned.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Hopefully with betting on the results banned.

Did I miss something? Why would that be a prerequisite?

 

[BFew]

Did I miss something? Why would that be a prerequisite?

Just my personal opinion ,as I don't think the current gambling permissibility laws in most of Australia are in the National Interest, and are a drain on the economy, and destructive for too many on a personal and health level.
