News Coronavirus and NRL

[King hit]

Robert Craddock on SEN1116 today

- If you were to create a game perfect for spreading the corona virus. It's called rugby league.

He's a POS.

Craddock is a total idiot with no knowledge of rugby league at all

China isn't there because they went into full scale lockdown.

They stopped the spread by taking extraordinary measures.

But nah, let's not because... economy?

Where did I say not to do full on lockdown?

It is this uncertainty that is the issue. If you knew it was 2-3 weeks then good.

I have then annual leave for that. I would also pull my kid out of school. I won’t yet cause no idea how long it will be for

I don’t have the annual to take 2 weeks only for it to be mandatory lockdown for a few weeks after.

Businesses can play for such a shutdown like we see over christmas. It is the having no clear path forward that is the issue not so much the time off

 

[Perth Red]

Is it appropriate that the chairman is doing media interviews representing the nrl with a massive nsw racing branding behind him? Seen three interviews with him today, where’s the ceo gone?

 

[franklin2323]

And guess what they did? Locked down the population immediately. The thing you reckon we shouldn't be doing.

It isn’t a new problem. We only just put the ban on flying. So far behind where it could be and just dragging it out

Assuming I decide to leave my kids home from school...how much school will they miss?

I have 12 days of annual..I can’t take it now because no set plan as to when we back to nomal.

Same too for a busines. Hard to plan going forward when you won’t know how long reduced capacity will be

A lockdown you would have those answers. Having it drag on til who knows when is what causes the issues

Is he in quarantine right now?

The NRL looks like those dirty European backpackers begging for money in Thailand and Cambodia so that they can keep travelling.

What a shambolic organisation

so they should just roll over and curl up in the corner?

No, they should have money in the bank.

Too much largesse over the years.

everyones affected, nrl are the only code that’s publicly started begging. The talk in the office today from non sports fans was how inappropriate they felt it was. Some things are better done in private, something Vlandys doesn’t seem to understand which is a worry.

 

[Desert Qlder]

V'Landys won't be getting a cent from Governments. Anyone believing that is a numbskull.

All he has done is allowed the media and the games enemies to pronounce loudly that the game is weak and unstable. As well as concerned not with community health.

Hopeless leadership. Completely not what is needed in a time of severe uncertainty.

 

[TheFrog]

Vlandys mentioned they are chartering flights for the clubs this weekend. Makes sense, travel aside the players would have to be some of the lowest risk people in the country. Chartering flights takes away even more for the risk for them.

The biggest risk for players will be partners bringing it home from work/shopping/etc and (especially) kids bringing it home from school. There will come a point where players are going to have to be isolated from their families if this is to work.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Not a great look going cap in hand to the government via the media when there are people panicking and hospitals being pushed to the brink.

Do it behind closed doors, we as a game aren't gonna get much empathy from the average punter out there.

The 'discussion' of epidemiology on 100% Footy may be the lowest IQ television I've ever seen. If Kerry Packer were in charge of the network it would have been the first show pulled off air since Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos.

 

[beave]

Old Rugba Leeg hasn’t done one thing that has impressed me since he took over. From his negative comments about Perth to yesterday’s little sooky doomsday rant, this bloke has been a backwards step from
Beattie for mine.

It was absolutely cringeworthy television, Gal handled himself okay but Joey and Fittler looked like absolute turnips. Celebrities need to learn to stay in their lane when it comes to issues they know nothing about

It is doomsday though. No end date in sight

Coronavirus treatment: Australian researchers ‘within reach’ of cure

COVID-19 but need donations to accelerate the research.

In lab testing, two drugs have stopped Coronavirus in its tracks and a clinical trial on humans is ready to begin.

Don’t be silly! Vaccines are years away! We’ll all be dead by then.

Deputy Chief Medical Officer states best-case scenario is that 20% of population gets it. If current mortality rate holds that would result in 50,000 dead in Australia.

That’s the best-case scenario.

 

[Frailty]

Don’t be silly! Vaccines are years away! We’ll all be dead by then.

To be fair, this is a treatment not a vaccine.

Institutes in Canada and Germany believe they’re close. But the earliest timeline for mass production in November.

 

[Springs09]

And guess what they did? Locked down the population immediately. The thing you reckon we shouldn't be doing.

Lol no they didn’t. They locked down a portion of the population several weeks after it first spread. Stop talking shit.
