Yes we have a Wahl as well,its cordless.
The dog is 10yrs old,so thats how old it is,still going fine.
New blades every so often,and oil the blades,all good.

Anyway,back on topic,i went to seven different sites for work today,so if i ever get this virus,they will have difficulty tracking who i have been near[bighmmm]

The boys went to a site early yesterday,and there were 20 construction guys in a room,probably 4mx5m,trying to sign in.[bigsad]

My boys walked out, and complained,so now there are big signs up,only so many at a time allowed in,and an email came about it as well[biggrin]

They were there doing some repairs,not construction work.

We are really enjoying the traffic,its fantastic.Did the Gold Coast run today,and i did it in 2hrs less than usual.[thumbsupbig]

We can actually get more jobs in a day done at the moment,but unfortunately,there are less jobs around.

Many have no idea how much this 'normal' traffic congestion is costing business,and ultimately,everyone.
I suppose its only going to get worse,once this virus settles down,there will be no money to fix the roads for years...

Stand too close in Singapore? go to jail.

Too close? Singapore's new virus-fighting rules could lead to prison

South Africa begins three week coronavirus lock down. No alcohol to be sold , the Police and Defence force to enforce the lock down.

But with no vaccine what happens if we go the blue line after 100 days - surely we still stay in isolation as the virus will just take off again as is now happening in China.

I dont know the answer as the aspect of what happens after 100 days on the blue line has not been articulated by those in authority.

The official line on China is that cases have risen on account of Chinese coming back from overseas, and bringing the virus back. At least that was last night, things change quickly with this virus. Proper quarantine and isolation procedures are expected to cope with this. The positive here is intensive care beds are not in short supply like a while ago. And PPE gear will be adequate. Still no real evidence of a second run of the virus, so fingers crossed. [ haven't read all the news yet]

Any one checked their super ? Mine has risen $ 10,000 in two days. Which provides a conundrum...….To continue on to the date it goes into cash, or take the risk this isn't a dead cat bounce.? I don't know if I can hold my nerve. Talk about a bungee jump.

Would suspect the 50m masks would more than likely be for the frontline people in the medical facilities & essential services , not for the general Population who should do the right thing by isolating themselves as much as they can . :thumbsup:

I think the idea is that once the numbers are down very low, it is possible to trace all contacts of every case and isolate them for the incubation period. This would eventually mean there are no 'spreaders in the community. For this to allow life to return to some semblance of normality though would require the quarantining of all inbound travellers for the incubation period, and to continue this indefinitely, at least until a vaccine becomes available and able to immunise a sufficiently large proportion of the population to prevent future epidemics.

There seems to be no evidence that this virus is likely to mutate rapidly like influenza. On the other hand, there is no evidence that it won't.

I didn't see your reply before my last post. Your post answers mine.
