  @R-L said in Coronavirus memes: I'll feel so inadequate. Size isn't everything ay! In this case you can feel more than adequate. Jeez. WTF is this show that you are all talking about? I have been quite fortunate under my rock here, and not seen any images of which you speak - thank fuck.

  @canefan said in Coronavirus - New Zealand: @taniwharugby amazing how much these fuckers get around. I move in about a radius of 30 minutes drive at all times during my week Yep, I'm pretty much keeping myself home as I have a few health issues. Annoying watching other people just fuck it all up.

  Freedom! Ran 5km in fresh air today along Manly Corso. A leisurely 4.55/km pace, didn't want to bust the calves on day 1. Undid any benefit from the run 5-fold by meeting a couple of mates at the pub for schooners, nachos and pizza. But fuck it.

  Major League Baseball has been up and running for 4 days and is already looking fucked as half of the Marlins team tests positive. And plays anyway. NBA back this week promises to be interesting.

  @voodoo said in [Poll] What will the Govt decide today?: Barely though. I haven't ordered anything online from a butcher because the choices are so limited under current conditions. Every cafe and restaurant here is closed. I'm fucking gagging for a takeaway coffee and a vindaloo. You don't think 4 days of business will be important to them? We got our usual meat order last week, free delivery too, which was great given Dominoes dont even deliver out as far as we are, the booze shop wont either. I am sure it will be, but I just think this wil be thier (the Govt) 'happy medium'

  @MajorRage said in Coronavirus - Media Discussion: Govt told the Times to fuck off. Terrible use of their time. https://healthmedia.blog.gov.uk/2020/04/19/response-to-sunday-times-insight-article/ Embarassingly comprehensive rebuttal. Journalist and editor should resign.

  Has anyone been using Syncplay or similar apps to watch movies or listen to music with friends? I've been using https://www.airtime.pro/ to stream music to friends. Any app or service suggestions? Would love to be able to stream music to friends easily from my desktop.

  @Crucial said in Drivers Licence Expiring During Lockdown!: Do you peasants drive yourself or something? Funnily enough, we haven't been for the first 2 months of 2020 - and have hated it! Bali roads, licenses, insurance etc, all leads to expats renting a car + driver. And it's kinda fun for a week, and kinda crap after that! Can't put a price on independence.

  @Baron-Silas-Greenback I think that's the point. The China numbers are totally fucked but hardly anyone's can be trusted. Everyone has different testing regimes, the US had hardly done any testing (proportionately) before they had community transmission - some cases are still only testing hospitalised patients. That's what Bloomfield said today - the fact the we are now testing much more but the number of cases is stable is good news and suggests that while it is out in the community not to a massive extent.

  @Stargazer said in Public Holidays: When I discussed ANZAC Day with a mate of mine (via Skype) a few days ago, his youngest girl heard it and suggested that everyone should put a poppy on the bear they have in front of their window (she still counts them every day on their daily walk around the block). It was very cute to hear an 8-year-old actively think about it, this way. that story just broke me.

  @Machpants said in COVID Testing. Anyone?: Stories of some staff moving to headbands with buttons sewn on, as the over-ear masks are starting to chafe. One of the oldies homes here in Sydney is going through 800 sets of PPE a day.
