What has the last 3 pages to do with the thousands dying with this virus???.
the average 12 year old knows zilch about technology. Just my opinion.
Not much galty but this is also a thread for those who want to vent about the injustice of if all. Mental health affects will become apparent.
It has plenty to do with the virus. People are frightened. They worry about all sorts of possibilities, including chaos in the streets.
In god’s own country more restrictions enacted today:
Foreign buyers will be slapped with tougher rules to prevent them acquiring Australian companies during the coronavirus crisis amid plunging share prices and fears of predatory takeovers.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg moved on Sunday night to slash a key takeover threshold from $1.2 billion to zero in order to ensure any overseas bid could be blocked at his discretion after scrutiny by federal officials.
Australians aged over 70 have been urged to remain at home and all outdoor gatherings will be restricted to just two people, as Prime Minister Scotty from Marketing imposed a further social crackdown on Sunday night to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
All Australians have now been told to leave their homes only to shop for food or other essential supplies, to seek medical care, to exercise under public gathering rules or for work and education if these cannot be conducted remotely.
In Victoria, Premier Daniel Andrews said people will face an on-spot-fine of more than $1,600 if you breach the two-person rule.
In South Australia, the fine will be $1,000.
For NSW, Premier Gladys Berejiklian said authorities would be cracking down on those breaking the two-person rule and wanted everyone to start practising it from today.
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the first phase would be about education and warnings, but the second phase would include the capacity for police to issue fines.
In Tasmania, Premiere Peter Gutwein said police would enforce the rule. “You will be able to be arrested. You will be charged and summonsed,” he said.

Mental health during a time of crisis.
Getting a tad too stressed out ? Climbing the walls ?
Suggestion
1.) for at least one day, do not watch any news. You are quite safe inside your flat.
2.) watch a really good movie. For the ladies. may I suggest the film: UNDER TUSCAN SUN. I honestly believe it will lift your spirits. 
(Can be rented from Amazon Prime Videos)
3.) While watching the film, eat something chocolate. :-D:-D:-D:-D
Hi
The USA may have, the UK does not.
Reservist Medical Staff are already being called up.
Four years ago the UK ran an exercise on how we could cope with a Pandemic or a Chemical or Biological Attack.
The result was a complete failure.
It was ignored by our Government on grounds of cost.
To be fair to Boris, he was not part of this.
It was May and Hunt
May is keeping stum, Hunt is whinging about things.
I keep telling myself I’m not gonna watch the news but I can’t stick to it, something makes me gravitate towards it :shock:
Well, Queenie. That is up to you BUT I think you are tougher than that. BE FIRM !
The Federal government will pay people’s wages for 6 months in a package which will take up one fifth of the nation’s annual budget.
Businesses will receive a fortnightly wage subsidy up to $1,500 per employee as part of a Federal Government bid to prevent millions of people from losing their jobs to the coronavirus pandemic.
The subsidy is the central plank in a $130 billion economic stimulus package, the third and largest package the Government has announced in response to the coronavirus.
Prime Minister Scotty from Marketing said he expected 6 million Australians would access a so-called JobKeeper payment for the next six months.
He said there would be a legal obligation on employers to ensure they passed the full wage subsidy onto employees.
From today, Australians will be able to access bulk-billed telehealth consultations with their doctors and many other health professionals — meaning they won’t have to pay any out-of-pocket costs.
It’s part of a $1.1 billion government funding boost designed to protect against the widespread impact of the coronavirus pandemic, and has been heralded as a “life-saving” measure by some.
According to this evening’s news Turkey has reached 9000 cases in the shortest time of any nation and could be heading for disaster.
Western Australia will bring in an “unprecedented” hard border closure and use police drones to help enforce strict new public gathering rules to help contain the coronavirus outbreak, the state’s Premier announced today.
Australian flower growers have destroyed tens of thousands of flowers since the coronavirus shut down events and closed florists.
Joe Oliveri from Oliveri Flowers on the NSW Central Coast said he dumped 50,000 gerberas last week because nobody would buy them.
How about some good news…
In a population of approximately 68.000,000…
and around 20,000 have contracted the virus…
That leaves 67,980,000 who haven’t caught it yet…
Them’s good odds I reckon…
See! Told ya!
True, but there are almost certainly many more who have the virus but are not showing serious symptoms… so far. Like Boris!
Most definitely JB. I believe that some people have had it for quite a while now and thought it was just something that goes around at this time of year, and have since recovered.
It’s the only explanation for the still daily rise in those affected, despite the recent strict rules being brought into place.
Not the only explanation, though.
There are still many people who are ignoring the rules.
Germany is apparently taking in patients who need special treatment from Italy and France .
This is truly compassionate .
