Your ability to not accept reality is stunningly impressive mate.

There was only one vacant weekend btw, not really sure how you'd use the rounds with byes in them to play any more games?

As others have pointed out even the afl have shortened their season. It would make sense for us to do the same, 15 rounds (everyone plays once) and into finals.

Thats IF we all restart. 10 weeks is a massive maybe.

I don't believe we will, 6-12 months most likely

 

[moffla]

You could have a 15 week season.
June-September.
Finals in October.

Have a feeling that's what they may have to settle on. Not a terrible outcome if it comes to it - probably best case at this stage

 

[Frailty]

Suspension of the season needed to be done. To be honest, the first two rounds shouldn't have happened.

The US is talking July-August as when 'recovery' begins. We are slightly behind them, so I wouldn't be betting on seeing any sport until August-September. Unless the NRL do a modified competition (think of a short Pool system like the Nines), you won't see the game come back in 2020.

I suggest you calm the f**k down and answer my question. Who's lives were put at risk - let alone who died - from NRL playing on? They gave a f**kload of people another week's pay.

yes, one of us needs to calm down

enjoy watching the footy next weekend

 

[TheVelourFog]

I would also like to know about it so if you are well informed why don't you enlighten us.

Waiting !

hit up Google if you can pull your head out of the sand for 5 minutes

Still got the cruise people showing signs of it. Given within 10-14 days you have it out of your system in 2-3 weeks all those idiots from the beach party and others crammed in will be back to healthy.

I do agree it will keep going up over the week but in 2 months though given we can’t do anything should be plenty more recovering than we have new cases

The numbers will keep doubling every 3 days, until a full scale lockdown. Even after the lockdown commences, those numbers will still rise sharply for a few weeks due to testing lag, family members spreading to other family members.

We should have gone into full lockdown over a week ago, in a few weeks time we will see considerable fatalities on a daily basis.

I got a bad feeling in my gut that the US will end up worse than everyone else

They have A LOT of catching up to do with Italy.

Whilst they are only 20,000 cases behind, they're currently around 5,500 less deaths. There are factors that contribute to this, including Italy have one of the oldest populations in the world.

That being said, they just added 9,900 cases in the last day. Their health system will collapse soon.

A week behind is where we have been from the outset. Probably 2.

The poor get left behind in the US health system, though. I agree with Smack’s gut.

I was going to post the same. I fear the US is heading for a real catastrophe.

Their health system is prohibitively expensive and the poor, many of them just wont get tested. Sure, testing for covid19 is free, but treatment for it? Hospitslisation and intensive care?

The mother flogdashian gets a test thrown at her without even asking and with no symptons because she was in the same building as somone who tested positive but you can come in on a stretcher and be denied a test

Particularly if the medically uninsured are not guaranteed access to testing kits.

Some f**ked up priorities in that country.

Given some of your efforts in this thread that's an all-time "Pot. Kettle. Black." moment.



"...a grand total of 80 cases" That couldn't possibly grow exponentially, could it?!

Heck, I'm sure you even praised Scomo's response at one point

One thing we can agree on, the NRL won't be back for a fair while. And a full season is now an absolute fantasy with the best case scenario being a 15 week competition.

My concern is this: if we've suspended the comp at 1800 cases, does anyone seriously think we'll be below 2000 cases once we reach that figure at any point throughout the year? And certainly not in the sense of being on the downward trajectory of the curve, either.

Sadly I think the NRL is done for 2020 but would love to be wrong.

All, there’s a dedicated thread to Corona Virus in the Four Corners forum..

gun sales are through the roof. If covid doesn’t get them, rednecks with guns will!

34k for one girl.

they expect 20k for a serious case

don’t go to hospital is time’s advice
“For Danni Askini’s first trip to the hospital in Boston on Feb. 29, for example, she was charged $1,804 for her emergency room visit and another $3,841.07 for “hospital services.””

She was charged nearly 4K for walking in the door. FMD.


The article is very depressing reading for the non insured in the USA.
