The big fat COVID-19 thread.

It would probably be good for me, an easier way to loose 10kg resting in a hospital bed being waited on.

I had Typhoid once and initially I was treated like it was Ebola . That was after about a month of being sick and multiple samples taken before it was diagnosed. I mean like they taped the door shut with plastic and wore the full infectious type suits until they got the Infectious diseases specialist to advise the staff. Turns out unless you eat food that has been washed in infected water or drink it. Like water that is warm and the bug has been able to multiply to hugely concentrated levels it would take eating a piece of faces about the size of a pea to spread.

I don’t think I called you a hillbilly. Goat statement holds true however :slight_smile:

I am still not seeing an issue, however. Supermarket shelves are not empty. Offices are asking SOME people to WFH. I’m in CBD right now and everything looks normal. I went through 2 airports and been to Sydney recently. That too looked normal.

update - yeah, this escalated quickly, I was wrong on this one lol

Yes, older people and people with respiratory problems must be careful. However, I’m not seeing bases for a mass panic event.

P.s. The supply chain is not impacted. Roads are not cut off or washed away. The use case for prepping here is nothing more than heard instinct, it has no quantifiable bases. And this is largely over.

The worst case scenario is running out of hospital beds for people who need urgent medical attention. No amount of toilet paper, flour or beans is going to prepare you for that.

This entire thread is basically fighting dragons.

I don’t know, I think that Brett has the right idea. We should all “bug out” to his hidy hole and enjoy a couple of weeks playing with big (and little) guns.
I could do with a holiday.

I’m loving the latest…Now these panic buying fools have had a second to think (if they know how) or maybe are just embarrassed to admit they’re one for the retard club and are trying to returm their “bulk buy” items and woolies are telling them “stiff shit you needed it so badly, now you keep it. NO REFUNDS!”

Good stuff Woolies!! Best and funniest thing they’ve ever done i reckon.

They should make it retrospective though, not just on goods bought from today on-wards. I dont want to buy a bag of pasta or rice that someone has already taken home. What about food safety laws I would have thought that they would have prevented returns of food stuffs?

I thought it was, i thought that they said yesterday was the cutoff and they won’t be taking anymore returns from today regardless of when it was purchased. If it’s on the “panic list” of goods it can’t be returned.
But i could be wrong.

Yep. No returns full stop… sucked in suckers! :joy:

In other news…

Thousands of monkeys from three separate tribes have commenced on an all-out brawl in the middle of a Thai city, Thai media reports say.

Tasmania should be used as a quarantine island.

Nope… not enough toilet paper down here…

At least I can survive on wallaby for about 15 years… fur will come in handy too, much softer than 4ply…

Are your Wallabies OK for consumption. The Swamp Wallabies here in Australia ( :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) have heaps of worms in them and are not good for eating. Kangaroo if fine and I have a life time supply of those may change if everyone turned to eating them though.

On another not they are saying that the cases in China and Korea are on the decline. But It would only take one infected person I am sure to start it all over again. Until they get the numbers way down or get a vaccine it is going to be an issue.

Pulling the pin on the GP at this late stage is going to piss a lot of people off that have traveled here just for that. Gov may have to sling them some money too.

Totally… destroying any event or business that relies on non local visitation.
Don’t seem to be cancelling footy, though: unfortunately…

Heaps of people eat wallaby all the time but I have been put off by gutting wormy ones. Mind you, I have gutted plenty that don’t seem worry at all…
Yet to try tree rabbit, though… bit too pongy!

I always thought that it was already. Only a few people have escaped and swam to the main land and breed, that’s how we got SA.

See coming from little Korea, we don’t have any of those fanciful things outside of the big smoke.
We can head bush and disappear for years, plenty of wildlife to eat so all you need is water lol.

We both know you’d lose it without internet.

I reckon I could stretch it out to a week and that’s about it lol.
