Isn't the covid 19 linked to climate change?

Nah, Donald Trump

When HIV-AIDS was threatening, Bob Hawke and Andrew Peacock agreed to assemble a team of health experts, provide them with ample funding and get out of their way. What chance do we have of Scotty from marketing and Albo coming up with a similar approach?

Even though COVID-19 has a much lower mortality rate than many other diseases, including the seasonal flu, I understand that it is the rapid spread of the virus that puts health systems under immense pressure - as happened in Italy. In that context, allowing large crowds to attend events until Monday seems to be half-arsed.

That said, it may be best to keep schools open. 30% of health workers have school age children and having them off work to look after their children would cause the system to fail.

The advice coming out of the government is so bloody confusing. Gatherings of more than 500 people are banned, but not until Monday! Why wait? AFLW is going ahead tonight. What? GP was just cancelled! Gatherings of 500 or more are banned, this doesnt apply to public transport, Schools or Unis! Che? FFS

My sons school where he works are preparing to close and do online teaching from home, probably happen early next week.

There is no 1 answer to that question.

But....the f1 decision was forced because drivers, specifically Raikkonen and Vettel had flown out before the race was even cancelled.
McLaren had already said they were not racing before that.

So if 1 team is not racing (out of 10) and at least an additional 2 drivers (out of 20) are not racing....there isn't much for the fans to watch is there.

Eddie said this morning that the grand prix organisers wanted to go ahead but the government said it would be in front of no fans. Hence the delayed announcement.

Drivers drove the "we arent racing" agenda the minute a team member tested positive.(they were on flights out at 6am this morning well before the announcement was made)

I don't know about you people but if the drivers knew to leave on 6 am flights but the punters were left at the gates waiting for information until 10 am, those overseeing this clusterfcuk need to have a very good explanation. I'm not sure what charges could be laid but I'd certainly be sending a rather pointed "please explain" letter if I was Andrews ET Al.

I know very little about F1 - and care less - but I understand that races may only proceed if all teams are involved. Once McLaren pulled out, our GP had to be cancelled/postponed.
