Do you believe in Martians Sue.?   Or is this one of those female things,  and so, one of those overreactions, to a simple concept put forth.?

Remember 'be alert',  'not alarmed'.

Rubbish.

If anyone at a club gets the virus then your can't play games against that club.  If a few clubs get it,  then the whole competition is in jeopardy.

Don't worry guys, the PM has got this handled. He's told the virus to take a break until Monday so he can go to the NRL.

He really know's what he's doing. FFS.

I thought this was a joke at first, but it's true!  He's actually going to the rugby tonight!

Scotty has completely lost the plot.

HaHaHa, I love 'JC.

I thought Sue was a Fem, naturally I am a little naive. But she/he sounds like a Fem.

With Regard to this corona virus, I have just been looking for news on bioweapon theories in the past 10 minutes,  and so far have found two news articles. of interest. >>>

There was chatter in some media that the virus 'escaped' from a bio-tech lab near the Wuhan wet market which has been blamed for starting the spread of the virus.  Apparently, several of the people first diagnosed had not been near the market.  One of them was a lab technician from the bio-tech facility.

Make of that what you will.

To put it bluntly this virus is only a concern for the elderly. Look at the death rates. Most people hardly know they are crook. If this virus escaped by accident then maybe you have a point but deliberatly no. It is not lethal enough. As I have said before the whole reaction to this is mindless insanity. Having said all this I have copd so I don't want it. 

Is there something about this virus they are not telling us ? I don't think so.

Dieter, your odious intimidation efforts are not helping anyone.  I've put forward a pretty straightforward set of copiously verified facts with clear cause and effect relationships.

- that the dismal animal welfare and workplace safety cultures and laws of many countries, but most particularly the globally integrated ones headlined by China, is a major factor in this, previous, and likely future novel contagions.

- that the cover-up first response culture of many authoritarian countries, but most particularly the globally integrated ones headlined by China, is a major factor in virus' being enabled to spread beyond an initial outbreak.

 

Failure to deal with the reality of the situation actually provides racists with a cloak to cover their vileness - based on your response any given racist can now say 'Look, the PC police won't even let us talk about the failings of a repressive totalitarian state.'

I speak from a position of resentment on this because I have watched as this knee-jerk 'it's racist' reaction has provided a similar cloak to awful reactionaries across the world who have successfully branded things like human rights, free press, women's liberation, and so on as 'western/white conspiracies' sent to undermine the 'unity' of the 'natural order'.  From Turkey to Indonesia to Sri Lanka, there's hardly a repressive government that hasn't claimed that, say, Amnesty International is actually just a front for white cultural imperialism.

Dieter, your thoughtless aggression harms people I care about.  Please take some time to reflect on the conspiracy theorist tones of your post I have quoted and whether that is really how you want to relate to the world.

 

I agree in full. To suggest it is racist to point out the obvious and well documented failings of an authoritarian international government is non sensical. 

As LG points out, by muddying the waters this actually emboldens true racists to say whatever they want and pay out on what they see as left wing pinkos when they are criticized.

No.! Its a major risk to anyone who has an underlying respiratory ailment or Heart issues.  Maybe some do not even know they are at risk.  Asthma sufferers particularly.

I said I have copd and I have atrial fibulation but I still think it is grossly exagerated.

Another cause of susceptibility for respiratory problems is obesity.  If your obese you have a high percentage chance of developing server respiratory reaction from COVID-19 and die.  The other issue with mass infection is available medical resources.  Big issue like in Italy as they do not have enough respirators to treat all patients and keep them alive, they are deciding who gets the support and favouring younger patients, hence their higher death rate.    Plus the secondary effects on the normal emergencies that hospitals would normally have to deal with may not have the resources to do so.  

Shut things down early like Hong Kong and minimise the spread - worked in Hong Kong.

There is no way to stop the spread, no big crowds, how about peek hour everyday on the train many people, this is madnshess, stop the bull.

Doctors are idiots how long are we going to stop work for one month 2 months 3 months 4 months crash the whole economy for what for old people, the damage it's going to cause to people's mental health, and economical health is not worth this quarantine rubbish, everybody should just go about their own lives and treat people when they get sick that's the only thing the doctors can really control

No and I go about life as normal. physical activity leads to breathlesness but you get it back after a few seconds rest. Still I think this corona virus has been exagerated by the media and politicians. The flu may kill more people than this but only time will tell. They don't seem too concerned about the flu do they.

I have no doubt the anecdotes mean it 'escaped' by accident; certainly not released deliberately and I wasn't trying to imply such.  Why would China do that in their own back yard?

Totally agree the reaction is 'mindless insanity':  approx 130,000 diagnosed cases worldwide, some 5,000 deaths worldwide.  In a world population of nearly 8 billion.  What are the odds?  Yet world leaders are spooking their citizens and bringing their countries to a standstill risking crippling their economies and communities.

I fear there will be a high price to pay for effectively shutting down activities.

 

Seems that the NRL will be behind closed door from Round 2. 

No crowds allowed at AFLW from tomorrow onwards.

Surely we'll get an update about AFL shortly.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
