Work have sent home care packages for the kids today, a great little pick me up for the young ones that have been stuck at home since March in Greater Melbourne.

Hope all Melbourne Swaggers are doing ok in these crazy times, hoping for the restrictions to ease again soon for some fredom.

Nice gesture. My son was so excited when I told him he was going to back to in person school in a week. I should have a wager with the wife at how long it is before he wants to go back to online learning.

Will be good when they can get back, unfortuantly for my two they are still in limbo with no time frame for return. At least with the younger ones getting back to school some parents will get a rest, and the education will begin again. I also feel for the teachers at least their workload will be reduced with face to face teaching.

And I thought it had better standards than that ???.

I suppose it does also attack the digestive tract, so probably appropriate a walking colon such as himself would get it eventually.

He does not look well.

White hair, no makeup, looking like the 70 plus years old he is.

Obese, old, unfit, poor diet and according to his tax statements he is not well off!   All add up to a bad conditions if you catch the virus.  Now if he had  no medical cover (like the millions of  poor he wants to take it from) and he was black....his chances of a full recovery would be very low!!!.
Karma is a bitch indeed.. Attending rallies when positive cases have been proven is just plain stupid....Its almost like he wanted to catch the virus.

I feel sorry for those that have inadvertently caught the virus and those that have had friends/family die from it.  Not sorry in the slightest for the dolts who blame 5g, conspiracies and wont listen to the health experts ( exactly the people trump ignored). There will be millions of people around the world laughing at the idiot for his stupidity.
Having lots of friends on farcebook is the same as having lots of money in monopoly...means absolutely nothing!!

Weekend at Bernies?

Quote
Before the video was posted, the infected President cruised by supporters in his bulletproof SUV, windows rolled up, driven by Secret Service agents in protective gear who were potentially exposed to the disease that has swept through the White House in recent days.

"This is insanity," tweeted Dr James Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre, where Trump has been hospitalised since Friday evening.

US President Donald Trump surprised his supporters gathered outside the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center by riding past in a motorcade.

"Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential 'drive-by' just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die," the doctor wrote. "For political theatre. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theatre."

Scott Morrison wasn't preaching that the virus was under control and would be mostly eliminated by Easter. He also listened to our health experts. Yes,  there were stuff ups BUT no one has seen or handled anything like this before.  A big plus was that the govt took it seriously and shut the borders relatively early compared to the rest of the world. Even now we are way ahead of the world where many countries are still seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths a day.  I,m no fan of Morrisson but at least he used some intellect, listened to the experts and urged people to do the right thing. trump did the complete opposite whilst at the same time trying to get millions kicked off the public health system.  Unprecedented times have shown us what the real trump is made of....Shit and offal.  America is no where out of the woods yet...

And just when you thought he might come to his senses he decides to pull a stunt and organise a car drive....
Quote fro a doctor at the base he is being treated at...

"This is insanity," tweeted Dr James P Phillips, an attending physician at the hospital.

Pretty funny when you think Donald Trumps opposition is sleepy Joe and the San Fran grand nan.  Wouldn't be at all surprised if the Trumpster wins another term.

This is just a line of attack, and a pretty low and unfounded one at that. I realise that you didn't come up with it but it just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Put simply, there have been over 1000 fewer deaths in aged care this year as opposed to the same timeframe last year. If you really want to attribute deaths in aged care to the prime minister, then he should be congratulated.

Aged care has plenty of issues, which the PM acknowledged by calling a Royal Commission into it, but if people want to reduce it down to a death count for political point scoring then by that matrix he has actually done well.

I don't think they ALL hate him. I think alot of people are reluctant to openly support him because of the negative response it gets.
