just now the appalling stupidity of sports identities has attracted my attention, and the efforts of apologists to excuse them. Their clubs have numerous sessions teaching them to not be drongos but they are too dim to understand the moving pictures and short words used to get the message across.
lol dim apologists. Righto.

Err - no. Dim sports identities.
Last time I looked it said "clubs have numerous sessions teaching" "sports identities" who are "too dim to understand", not apologists.

It's the millenials old boy

@Mick-Gold-Coast-QLD my apologies I misread.
I still think there was always going to be a transfer of the virus with Gobert regardless of his antics though. If he trained with the team then he was going to touch the ball, make body contact and breath heavily over someone in close proximity.

@raznomore Gobert hadn't trained with the team at OKC but could have had the virus in the days before that. The comments from teammates about his cavalier attitude of deliberately touching their stuff in the locker room doesn't reflect favourably on him though.

Of course - I thought your point "careless touching the team ball in practice or putting a sweat-covered screen up" made sense when I first read it.
I do not understand why codes are to empty the stadiums of spectators while retaining the teams of blokes and sheilas to gallop about the joint tackling and jostling and falling all over each other. (From the AIDS "blood bin" onwards I could not reconcile why the administrators had players drink from individual squirt bottles and carefully pass them back to water boy Alfie, then recommence the game by packing a scrum down right over the spot where a dozen blokes just spat their water on the ground!)
Come to think of it even going back to playing days last century I never much liked players spitting on the ground continually and the thought of having to roll about in it during the next tackle or scrum. Some blokes were serial spitters.

@canefan Damn NZ has just gone Fuck Off, without even the we're full.
I don't often agree with Cindy. But that is a strong decision, we have 6 cases and we aren't going to let the fox into the henhouse

so will there be monitoring of people arriving, or just telling people to self-isolate and trusting they will?

That is a good question. If people can't even be trusted not to bring fruit into the country can we trust them on this? Better get more cots up at Whenuapai... didn't the government buy a hotel for this purpose?

That is a strong position
Does that mean the Bulls will be told not to travel? Do the Hurricanes forfeit that game?

I expect that this will be the last round of super rugby for a while

In Taiwan people were threatened with big fines. One guy went out clubbing and they slapped him with a 10 grand fine

Pretty full on rules. Basically nobody will want to visit nz for the next 16 days at least.
Can nz handle no visitors for that long?
Are we certain infected travelers will not come months later?I don't know the answers but will look for the impact of no inbound travel and the ROI of such a decision in the months to follow.
Trust in the health authorities I guess

These restrictions are going to have to last a long time, probably until a vaccine is developed.
