How to cope with the corona virus ..facts- not fiction.

[Bigfish]

Just like the victorian police checked on 300 forced isolation cases.....99 weren't home !!

I think they should put a ban on any exercise outside your own property...no surfing, no beaches, no shopping centres, and shopping for food restricted to one person per household.
People just don't give a sh*t about anyone except themselves.

Just read that..390 checked and over a quarter were out....Simple solution.  Pay the $1600 fine and self isolation begins again from the day you got caught... Do it again and you get to self isolate in a prison cell for 28days plus another $1600 fine.  People think this is some sort of a game....

As a result of the content of this thread, and the lack of action taken bybmyswag mods, i am quitting  tbis forum for the last time.
To those I have conversed with over the years I bid you all a fond farewell  and best wishes.
To those few that I have had the privilege of meeting, I sincerely hope and trust that we will x paths again. Levuka 2021 is  non negotiable.
To Every One else - I hope myswag benefits u and band u enrich it.
Adios all.

Interesting take on how Sweden is handling the outbreak ..
latest figures show their rates to be dropping similar to ours atm

One thing in their favour I'm guessing is that they have a different mindset to instruction, due to most everyone having been millitary trained on an ongoing basis . just my .02c worth .

I think you've confused Sweden and Switzerland there with the military service.

The Swedes tend to be much more community minded.

Sweden has a population of about 10 million compared with Australia's 25 million. Please correct me if I am wrong on these numbers.
Sweden has had 6,830 cases and 401 deaths compared with 5,677 cases and 41 deaths in Australia,
This makes the Swedish infection rate three times that of Australia and a death rate from the virus 24 times higher than Australia.
I think I know where I'd rather be.

I think we are in the best place on earth during this crisis.  We could smash this virus if we could only get the stupid, the selfish and the downright ignorant to pull their weight.
With 500 toilet rolls in the larder, 50kg of rice and 50kg of flour, 200 home made face masks and a weekly shopping visit to a crowded Brisbane market I reckon I,m safe enough....

Nah mate...was at a rave party with 30 of my mates.

[jclures]

I do not understand what people are doing, they must just think of themselves, and not the community as a whole.

[Bigfish]

Its going to be interesting to see how the murder investigation pans out with the Ruby Princess cruise ship.  Guarantee there will be worldwide legal cases brought against individuals, companies, countries and anyone else who may have a few bob....

Going by what I know / read they had compulsory Millitary service up till 2010,  then cut it out to voluntary till 2017 , When compulsory service was reinstated ..
Buggered up on the population # ##  though, They seem to be happy tackling this virus the way theyre doing it, guess if that works for them thats their deal ....

You are correct in thinking that.
The problem is, they don't believe it is them that is the problem.

Local news here the other night, the reporter was talking to two French backpackers (girls, mid-20s) in the middle of Suffering Parasites.

"When did you arrive in Qld?" "Just before the border was closed completely" (3 ? days ago)

"So aren't you supposed to be isolating for 14 days?" "We don't need to, we're not sick"

"& what if the Police come to check up on you?" "They don't know where we are, because we just made up an address when they asked us!" (laughing)

Well thank you very bloody much

& the reporter should have immediately gone to the & told them the story!

I know I'll get attacked for this....
But you guys do realize that is exactly what the younger generation have been saying about baby boomers in the climate change debate..??

Not trying to start a fight, just making an observation.

If you're not trying to start a fight why are you throwing grenades ?

[Bird]

So is this a game changer? People were saying animals can't get it - but isnt that where it started...
Now this.

NEW YORK (AP) — A tiger at the Bronx Zoo has tested positive for the new coronavirus, in what is believed to be the first known infection in an animal in the U.S. or a tiger anywhere, federal officials and the zoo said Sunday.

The 4-year-old Malayan tiger named Nadia — and six other tigers and lions that have also fallen ill — are believed to have been infected by a zoo employee who wasn't yet showing symptoms, the zoo said. The first animal started showing symptoms March 27, and all are doing well and expected to recover, said the zoo, which has been closed to the public since March 16 amid the surging coronavirus outbreak in New York.

You'd have to wonder how the keeper passed it on to them

Don't think you pat & cuddle lions & tigers all that much

Probably goes to the heart of "what affects me now" vs "what is going to affect me or my descendants later"!

There was reports a month ago of 2 dogs that supposedly died of Cov19. One in honkers, one in china I believe. The owners would not allow an autopsy to be performed, so I am calling BS on that story until more evidence is provided.

The tiger, being in a western country, one would hope will be tested and confirmed/denied. If sars-cov19 mutates to be able to spread to other species (there are now 2 strains affecting the human population), then life on this earth is seriously threatened. Global warming is the least of our concerns.

G'day Swaggers,

To say I am disappointed in the content some Members have been posting these past few days is an understatment  .  This is definately not the Myswag we know and love.

For a group of so called adults, there is a some absolutely childish behaviour going on.

The Admins and Moderators have lives (and jobs still if they're lucky).  They also have elderly and/or susceptible loved ones that they are trying to protect, at-risk friends (and by at risk I mean at risk of suicide, at risk of losing everything, at risk of catching this awful virus etc) as well as children/grand children that they are trying to shepherd through this uncertain time.  The last thing they want to have to deal with is small minded, arrogant, self-absorbed keyboard warriors who are acting their shoe size rather than their age.  In short - grow the *insert expletive here* up!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion however, if any Member can't express their opinion respectfully or can't respectfully debate with someone, that Members is kindly asked to spend their time elsewhere. Rant over.
