Bill Gates warning us all in 2015, no wonder the guy is a billionaire, he can see into the future.
And he will sell the vaccines to make lots more money out of it, while everyone else goes backwards

Any other blokes considering shaving their arse to use less toilet paper? Regional Australia town has no toilet paper anywhere. Lined up outside supermarket this morning and they didn't even have a delivery. They said probably nothing until Thursday. I almost think the Govt may need to setup depots with essentials and ID used to stop panic buying. Lots of older people most be struggling to get basics.
Get a bloody bidet you fucking savages.

If they close the schools, my 'darlings' are old enough to be at home by themselves now, not great for those who's kids are not old enough, but could keep working only to need to take time off to look after kids....or worse, ask grand parents to look after them.

South Korea really looks to be all over this.
Going by my calculations -3% Growth in the last 24 hours. That's incredible considering they still have over 7,000 active infections. From what I understand they went absolutely nuts getting tests out. It drove their active infection level high but they at least managed to ringfence it. -

Awesome to see BBC still sending their reporters and crews out all over the country to interview businesses and people self isolating. Genius stuff.
Don't be astonished! It's really important someone is there at the plastic container making factory in Lancashire to bring us the news that they're asking employees to stay home if they're feeling unwell and to wander the floor talking to everyone about how they feel about what's going on, plus talk to the big boss and make sure they stick a big furry Mike in their face.
How would we find out about this important stuff otherwise?

Oh Jesus the fires are back again! 🙂
A fair to middling article offering few insights, just using fire analogies with one take away message - listen to Cindy.

This is an absolutely outstanding move.
Just seeing the shortages drives more buying. Let the elderly in first, no doubt they'll probably grab some for their kids and grandkids too if needed.

I saw a few Iceland stores were going to open an hour earlier and only allow the elderly in for the first hour. I thought was a pretty nice, pragmatic move.
Until of course, one elderly with the infection comes in and wipes them all out.

Dammit.
I was all ready to go to NZ and not give a shit about the 14 days isolation, and then I opened to herald this morning to see Cindy stating that those who weren't planning to self-isolate aren't welcome.
That changes everything!! I've cancelled my plans!!

I am a contract worker in the education sector, looks like I am out of work for the time being, schools have cancelled their sessions. No sessions no pay for me, no sick leave, no holidays. My other hustle is photography, not going to be any weddings any time soon. Hmm, might have to try and get a job at a toilet paper factory.

Spoke to a mate whose daughter runs a 27 story hotel. They have closed 23 floors and had a total of 120 customers over the weekend. She has been told to let go all of the casuals and look at reducing staff. Other mate is in large construction company that does cinema complex, malls, pubs, restaurants etc. They have had multiple companies put everything on hold. He is a little concerned all the work will dry up, 40 guys in factory could be out of work.
