whats the mortality rate for confirmed cases in NSW in people over 80??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)
As far as I'm concerned, all Morrison should be doing is acting exactly on the medical advice. He doesn't know anything about this thing, so he should literally only be the mouthpiece for the experts who do, and not doing any thinking of his own. If he is doing this, it's a pass. If he's doing more or less, it's a fail.I reckon he’s doing a bloody good job under exceptionally difficult circumstances. I don’t like Daniel Andrews or his government, but I reckon he’s doing a bloody good in this situation as well. I’m prepared to put aside this class warfare s..t and get behind our leaders, rather than sniping around the periphery.
So, my hand is certainly not going up.
Well now. What about basing them in all in WA. If they want to play footy better move to the West. Forget about your families....if they want to play football this year they may need to, yes
Thats not going to happen. Peoples families are more important than footy.if they want to play football this year they may need to, yes
In past years the season has still been played and the flag counted when some teams haven't been able to compete. No reason we cant do the same again.Continue on without the SA teams I say, no great loss
China hasn't maxed out. What are you talking about. They have got on top of one epicentre. But Australia had its first case only a few weeks ago. China could have another breakout somewhere else once they start to ease of, and they are back to square one. One of the fears of this disease is, the measures to stop it spreading are so stringent, its hard to keep them up for months, and if the measures ease of, then your back to where you were at the start of the disease. South Korea is already seeing the virus kick off again.

The government had just unannounced an unprecedented stimulus package allowing people to even take superannuation early.
Most of the states and territories have closed their borders and its soon to be everyone.
All restaurants, and public establishments will be shut soon.
Is this all a facade or a hysterical reaction?
It's not that serious. It only kills a few old people.

The scene's from Bondi yesterday basically sumed up the attitude of younger Australians and some older ones. I'll be right and stuff making small sacrifices for the good of everyone.

Pretty clear where your political allegiances lie Bunk. No need to infect this thread with them
We had 298 Sunday and 566 Wednesday.From what I have seen we are.
‘I use this site for reference;
And watching from Wednesday we had 50 (last Sunday 250), Saturday 1000...By next Tuesday if it rings true we are at 2000 cases.
It’s doubling as far as I can determine.
Here is the solution for the AFL Season 2020.
Split the 18 teams into 3 Groups of 6.
First Rotation
6 Teams in Victoria (MCG & Etihad)
6 Teams in Northern Territory (Darwin & Alice Springs)
6 Teams in Tasmania (Launceston & Hobart)
Yes - get special dispensation from Tasmania & NT but I'm sure with proper screening this could be arranged. If not, go somewhere else first.
Play the other 5 teams over the next 4 weeks.
Then go to the Second Rotations
6 teams in Victoria (MCG & Etihad)
6 teams in WA-Perth (Perth Stadium)
6 teams in Queensland (Gabba & Gold Coast)
Play other 5 teams over next 4 weeks.
Then go to the Third Rotation
6 teams in Victoria (MCG & Etihad)
6 teams in SA-Adelaide (Adelaide Oval)
6 teams in NSW (SCG & Giants Stadium)
Play other 5 teams over next 4 weeks.
Between the rotations you might have a 2 week break.
Splitting the competition in 3 gives flexibility.
If there is a positive test - only that team and the other 5 teams in that region need to stand down. The two other regions can KEEP PLAYING.
This gives the league flexibility to deal with a positive test - and it also means the league cuts down significantly on travel.
Essentially you can play the season in 3 4 week blocks with games every night coming from a different region. 2 week breaks in between.
It also respects travel restrictions and is more in line with community sentiment than teams flying back and forth across the country every week.
Of course I have picked out 7 regions. That doesn't have to be set in stone. Maybe NT wouldn't agree with this. Fair enough. I'm sure Tasmania would agree to host 6 AFL Teams for a month - even if it means a 2 week quarantine period up front. Maybe you put them in the second rotation.
This is a solution to get this season played and create immense flexibility in the draw.
Thoughts?
Health department has daily reports.Sorry so you have a link to support that "community acquired infection is starting to take over"?
My parents are 70+ and are still going out almost every night for dinner. Not only that, they are Northern Italians...
People just DGAF. I reckon if the virus gave you scales or made you lose your hair people would take it seriously.
You haven't quite grasped statistical thinking. If 1 in every 100 pretzels killed, we would ban pretzels. Particularly if more than 40% of the population insisted on eating pretzels.1 young woman dieing doesnt define the disease. Its shit like this that pisses people off. I bet 1 woman died of choking on a pretzel somewhere in the world today too. Doesnt mean we ban pretzels. There will always be outliers, but in 99% cases it isnt true.
I couldn't care less given we cant go to games anyway. However 50% of the league is already based in 1 state so it would make the most sense to displace the least number of players and base it in VicWell now. What about basing them in all in WA. If they want to play footy better move to the West. Forget about your families....

Better to disperse the teams and do so in 3 locations as I've suggested.
If you have them in 1 location, 1 positive test shuts down the whole competition.
If you have them dispersed in 3 locations 1 positive test only shuts down the 6 teams in that location.
