What?
Racing been carrying on without crowds since saturday

British and French racing has gone into total lockdown.

 

[Stax on the mill]

I can watch run throughs of our premierships, that will wipe out a week... You might struggle to get past your morning coffee

How many of them did you feature in?

 

[Woodie99]

Lol. The PM went to the rugby. He's an idiot.

I'm guessing you're a tier 3 folk. You're either happy with that, or you're not.

Wrong, he didn"t go

 

[footyfan1978]

Why?

It is off topic if your pre-dominant postings in thread are about soccer clubs in an AFL specific forum. Just do it somewhere else.
Enough is enough.

 

[Stax on the mill]

A legend I guess in the same way as David Mensch and Mitch Clarke

At least big Dave played in a premiership............... for Mansfield. Captain coached if I remember correctly.

Victoria and especially New South Wales are on current trends looking likely to double confirmed cases every 3 days. Those two states are not doing ok at all.

We are in a period of accelaration when comes to COVID 19 transmission. Check the graph and reconsider your assessment that we are "flattening the curve" with current measures.

Im not under playing this (I don’t think they should play at all) but surely more rigor needs to go into those numbers?

What impact has the call for returning Australians had on the curve and how many of those cases are from accounted sources

Once we have significant uncontained cases (and that’s inevitable) then all bets are off

The most successful countries are going to be those that can maintain self isolation measures for the medium term and continue testing extensively

 

[Stax on the mill]

This is surreal.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Former Cat’s legend. Keep up man. Who does he play for now?

Plays for North, did very well in the pre-season games. We're glad he's playing for us, bizarre he was even delisted from the Lions in the first place.

 

[Hawkk]

Wrong, he didn"t go

Exactly

Irrational behaviour is hoarding the 3M N95 masks

The PM did not attend a Rugby League game - one that was open to the public based on the medical advice at the time. Rugby is a different game.

Not sure what you got right, how many shops did you visit today to hord pasta?

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Bullshit. The people who stay inside are less likely to get it.

The super fit professional athletes will get it, feel no physical effects, then spread it around the country while they're flying interstate to chase a ball around for an hour or two.

Some do seem to be confusing risk of contraction with risk of serious health repercussions. Everyone can get it and then spread it, including super fit athletes and kids. They're just not likely to be seriously ill from it.

1. Orthopaedic surgeons aren't idiots - they have extensive surgical training and part of that surgical training generally includes exposure to critical care units. You make it sound like they haven't seen a ventilator before and they would not be managing anything more "medical" without input from a treating physician.

On a side note - if your mum was intubated for several days would you like her managed by an ICU consultant or an orthopaedic surgery consultant?

If she needs a hip replacement I know I would choose the surgeon.

Horses for courses - this is why you will consider a program to specialise in after your intern/HMO/junior reg years, right?

If not the pasta, I wonder how he’s going with all those n95 masks

 

[Fadge]

Ffs... How is this even...

Redirect Notice

Leaders need to be decisive.

How can we be nearly 24 hours from the opening game, and still not know whether it's going ahead or not?

There is only one feasible position - suspend the season until we come out the other side of the virus.

If it eventuates that the season ends up being cancelled, so be it.

Friggin debacle.

British and French racing has gone into total lockdown.

No it hasn't

England and Ireland raced on the weekend

 

[Maylandsman]

I know, would Lonhro have won the Australian Cup without the crowd?

If punting turnover drops will racing be pulled??

What? Either way a horse would have won. You think the horses listen to the crowd?

 

[Maylandsman]

No it hasn't

England and Ireland raced on the weekend

Haven’t they? OK then;

British racing shuts down entirely - what next? - Racenet

Racing in Britain has been shut down entirely because of the coronavirus pandemic and it begs the question – is Australia next? French racing has also been cancelled while the Kentucky Derby, the first jewel in North American horse racing‘s Triple Crown, has been postponed to September 5 from...

It is 12 months that is it. It’s not the world ending we aren’t going to see the world go up in flames. For most of us it’s purely a small cold that goes away in a day or so. Have no reason to stop working during this period albeit some may be at home.

Fast forward to October this year and it should almost be past with a vaccine to fix it.

Out of interest, what do you do? You’re in a privileged position re work.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Lol every second seat At this clinic

Again you are missing the point. A lot of people are going to be unemployed. I have friends who have already lost jobs. People’s freedom to do as they like has been stripped away from them in an instant as well. We look headed for a recession. That is going to destroy many peoples savings. This isn’t just some minor occurrence.

Find me one credible source that says we’re going to have a vaccine for everyone ready by October. That is a ridiculous prediction.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Cant see them going ahead, but would love Gil to announce tomorrow is all go just to see Gerard Whateleys head explode.

You are extremly naive.

Gillon "sit on hands:mclachlan should be marched out of his office and told to stop milking the.media and fook off
Seriously he has no credibilty and should be sacked

 

[Lsta062]

It is almost 24 hours until the season is scheduled to start. Scott Morrison said hours ago that it is up to the AFL. Yet, they still have not made a call.

Make a call with a disclaimer if it is yes, and if things change tomorrow then you can change the call. If you don’t want it to go ahead, then say no already.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Should be moved to July in a shortened season lasting 11 weeks

... or no season at all
