I'm actually disappointed in you all BTW, just because you have your own NZ corona thread now you are all like "feck the rest of the world let's talk crumpets here now."

Is there a right time to ask, English Muffins vs Crumpets?
You cannot compare the two. They have different functions.
-
@Catogrande Please explain?

@voodoo And how do you put an economic value on life? Would you rather your job or your granny. Very tough decisions to make.
Simplistic. Suicides will outnumber virus deaths if millions of people lose everything at the same time as being socially isolated

@Baron-Silas-Greenback If you were in power what would you do.

@Catogrande said in Coronavirus - Overall/Rest of the World:
The glass or two of carignan with it was tops too.
A good Shiraz - say a Kalimna Bin 28 - could work as well.
Hear that online wine merchants are selling loads of cheap plonk as people stop going out. Hope they discount the good stuff to free up warehouse space - running low on '83 Musar

Crumpets.
Haven't you noticed they have an infinite capacity to absorb melted butter?

Ask an actuary.

I thought accountants were boring until I met some actuaries. Fark me.
(Hope you're not an actuary...)

Don't ask him of all people that! -
@chimoaus said in Coronavirus - Overall/Rest of the World:
Reports 31 people caught the virus from 1 wedding in NSW. Apparently people at weddings getting drunk, dancing together eating from same tables etc.
Apparently wedding venues have put up marquees outside to get around the 100 indoor rule.
This is why westerners are fucked, all wedding venues should have shut down.
Venue claiming that the 31 who all got it were not contagious at the wedding. Ok so just a big coincidence?"Can't get in the way of a good time mate. Life is for living. You only live once. - "Some Westerner"

@Virgil What do you put on those crumpets?
Butter and golden syrup is beautiful
I'm now getting homesick for that waxy white honey I grew up with.
Was that clover honey? Used to be very pale
We will upset @R-L if we keep going off topic..
But yes clover honey was the pale looking one
Looks to be readily available in New Zulund. Even dirty Pam makes it
That's the stuff.
Slightly grainy texture. Ace on slightly blacken toast

@Crucial said in Coronavirus - Overall/Rest of the World:
Marmite on crumpets with sharp cheddar (unmelted).
@R-L won't be able to experience that as it only works with NZ Marmite, not the horrid UK stuff.
I always liked the story from a Brussels-based NZ diplomat describing the look on a Belgium diplomat's face when he bit into a croissant at some diplomatic breakfast, having confused the Vegemite with chocolate spread....

Haha, no. Not good enough with numbers to do that.

I dont think the govt is doing much wrong (apart from increasing benefits on the sly)
I would have also eliminated the stand down period for the unemployment.
I would use this period where NZ is not yet vastly infected to order lkocal firms who can to make ventilators , we have firms who could do it.
I would then contoinue the current conditionas for while and let the irus run a course, knowing there is oging to be pain. The ntry and hope that we can handle the pain. -
my kids fucking hate coronavirus because they have gone from having sport nearly every day to having nothing. And May is basically next year to them.
