Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW 2020 Rd 6: Carlton vs Melbourne at Traeger Park, Alice Springs
The sheer number of ACLs on the news services occurring in this series should give pause to many. The competition will die soon enough.This competition won't die anytime soon. Junior girls numbers are through the roof around here. The actual and potential $$$ for the AFL will ensure they keep it going no matter what

Apparently some people are resorting to using other materials instead of toilet paper and these could begin to cause major problems by blocking sewer pipes.Apparently the supposedly "flushable wet wipes" are actually not flushable. Major problems ahead if the toilet paper hoarders don't calm the heck down

I'm in OG but had a beer in the Drysdale hotel beer garden the other week after a fish in the bay, wasn't too bad. I'm in, but with the caveat i'm on call every 3rd week, and if my missus is working i'm shot looking after the kiddies. I'm notoriously unreliable when it comes to making plans, so never plan around me...Small world, I was in the Drysdale pub beer garden on Sunday

Mortality rate corona = 3.4%. Influenza = 1.0%. Spanish flu = 10 to 20%COVID19 0.4-1.0%, figures unreliable because of many asymptomatic and unreported cases

From what I've read, this year's version of the flu will have a greater impact than COVID-19.Influenza has killed 16,000 people in the USA this season, COVID19 has killed 2
As Lance Corporal Jones used to say, "Don't Panic!" Or was it. "They don't like it up 'em!"?

Some may have already read/heard the stats on CV, but supposedly only 2% of the people that get it, die. Most of them are old.Mostly correct Kruddler. Those at risk of dying are over 60 with a pre-existing condition (immune deficiency, respiratory or cardiovascular disease, diabetes etc). Many people who get it either don't have any symptoms, or just get a common cold. Other coronaviruses that have been around forever cause about 25% of cases of common cold. But one interesting thing about COVID-19 is that children are grossly under-represented in those who are getting sick from it, the experts are not sure why, but if you're under 18 you are very likely to not even know you've got it. Similar in some ways to diseases like chicken pox, if you get it young enough you barely show any symptoms at all, but get it as an adult and it can knock you around big time
If you are under the age of 50 and get CV, you have a 0.2% chance of death......and i'm tipping most of that 0.2% are either already sick and/or are children/infants.
If you are relatively fit and healthy, you are fine.
