The NT has had no infections for 15 days. They are still playing it safe. But woe betide any one who spits or coughs at any citizen.
Big NT fines over virus scaremongering
Getting on very well here, having gotten over the initial shock. Today I was out cutting the hedge and I managed to cut through the lead on the hedge cutter. Nothing like living on the edge. The wife said that if I keep that up I'll not have to worry about the C19 thing.
Electrifying. Corded lawn mower lost just a few leads when I was a kid. Some suggested it was why I had an Afro until I saw the light and removed every blade of hair :). Truth and Fiction seems a world wide issue. Deaths do not lie. Its about 25000 above average deaths not counted in Covid 19 stats world wide or really only in a few countries which are reasonably transparent.
A story I would normally post to "The Darwin awards" is one I will partly skip this time . A guy posted widely how Covid19 was a hoax died of you guessed it :( (American)

Reminds me of the time i was visiting some friends. We were all sitting in their lounge with the single centre light on. One of their children came into the room bouncing a soccer ball. He got to the centre and bounced it very hard which broke the centre lounge light. Remember, this is on so the smashed light is still live. Now this lounge was one of those with two light switches at either side of the room. Husband and wife both rush to the switch at either side of the room and turn the light off. Then we realised that both changed switches meant that the light might still be alive as no one could work out whether the switches was on or off. I was the tallest and could reach the broken lamp. It had stopped sparking so i thought it was off... uh ahh!
:firedevil: To this day I still don't know why we didn't go to the fusebox switch... duhh! :Thump:
With oil prices now negative in the US and falling everywhere, now would be a really good time for Australia to buy up lots of oil and increase our reserves from a pathetic 23 days to the recommended world standard of 75 days.
But store it here, not in the USA. Yes, we'd have to build some storage, but what a perfect economy booster which would actually do something real to improve national security.
Coronavirus. Did Italian authorities get it badly wrong?

I wonder of google is grumpy about the name?
Love this and hope we had this avaible here soon. Last flu swab taken on me was a load deeper in my nose than this test
"The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday said it had granted emergency approval to the first in-home test for Covid-19, a nasal swab kit that will be sold by LabCorp.The agency said that LabCorp had submitted data showing the home test is as safe and accurate as a sample collection at a doctor’s office, hospital or other testing site."
Not so sure its claim its as accurate as usual tests done by pathology nurses or Doctors. That seem doubtful for a number of reasons [bighmmm]
