Fear not Skuit, we're equal top of the ladder at the moment. (For MFCSS sufferers, we're equal bottom)

Winning a flag is the only item on my bucket list that's not been ticked off. This year would be just fine, thanks.

Yep, that's a more realistic figure, ManDee. But it also assumes that the infection rate won't keep increasing day by day. Personally, I'd call the whole thing off but I can understand the opposite point of view and the fans thirst for some football.

According to the Federal Government's official numbers, there were 565 cases as of this morning. Not sure where you get the figure of one in a million, which would equal only about 25 cases.

But you'd have to admit that it's a compelling argument hardtack, with all the "speculation" and "maybe" it espouses. ?

Journalism at its best.

I just told you I don't pretend to have the answers. What I was doing was addressing your apparent blind faith in Trump and pointing out how he has failed miserably on this issue. As for bringing up Morrison and Biden, again you're trying to move the goalposts. I haven't and don't care to comment on either of those two individuals as they are irrelevant to the topic, which is how Trump had mishandled the virus pandemic. I've made my position as clear as I can and have nothing further to add. I hope that you and all other Demonlanders get through this crisis in one piece. All the best to you and yours but it's over and out from me.

I don't understand your line of argument here, Dante. Are you sticking up for Trump or just playing "whataboutism"? And what the heck does an Australian politician have to do with USA's situation? I'll meet you halfway and tell you what I wouldn't do, but what Trump and his administration have done: 1. I wouldn't claim the whole thing was a hoax and a conspiracy by my political opponents and/or China. 2. I wouldn't claim that fewer than five people would be infected. 3. I wouldn't claim that the virus is just the same as the flu. 4. I wouldn't claim that anybody who needed a test could get one. 5. I wouldn't claim that we were very close to a vaccine. 6. I wouldn't claim the virus will go away once the hot weather arrives. 7. I wouldn't claim that risk to citizens is low. 8. I wouldn't claim that the virus will miraculously disappear one day. Now, I don't claim to have the solution to this problem but telling lies, being wrong about the facts and not acting a lot sooner surely doesn't help. Thinking that Trump is unfit for the presidency doesn't automatically make you a "leftie", either.

Who is Elbow and what has he got to do with the situation in the US and Trump's ham-fisted attempts to manage it?

If someone has it and has the ability to upload it to YouTube I would be forever in their debt! I've still got it on VHS, Pates. Will consider fair offers of bog roll in exchange.

Can I interest you gentlemen in a tape measure?

On all available evidence, he's still on it. ?

All over the world, people are getting sick and dying from this virus and it's going to get worse before it gets better. But let's make this all about you and your wallet hey?

Send him to Christmas Island.

Poor Tom Hanks, stuck on a beach with only Wilson for company.

Having had glandular fever many years ago, I can vouch for that. I was as weak as a kitten, listless with no energy or appetite and ended up being bed-ridden for a week. Took me months to fully recover so I hope that Salem only has a mild dose.

Do think Dante was just venting, Ding?

Well, that was a waste of perfectly good pixels.

Collingwood first, second and third for me. All the rest equal 4th.

Never in doubt.

John Travolta was hospitalised for suspected COVID-19, but doctors now confirm that it was only Saturday Night Fever, and they assure everyone that he is Staying Alive.

I'd never heard Viney called "Vin" until last night.

Try Redgum's "I Was Only 19".

Must confess I've never heard the term "nurry" before. Where does it come from?
