A woman in a Sydney Woolies checkout queue asked the bloke behind her to observe the social distancing guidelines and he responded by hitting her over the head with a wine bottle.Quote:

No need for that sort of behaviour. I hope they called the cops & had him taken away.
Just opened that link. The guy looks ME-stern & looks like nutcase. A meat cleaver for the cops Eh? It was always going to end it tears. His I hope.
I'm not embarrassed - except by your spelling. [bigwhistle]Quote:

They did predict there could be some mental health issues in Oz. Seems about right then. If he was ME bloke& she being a woman telling him then that figures in my book. Deport him!:bat:
Other countries are taking care of their international students, who can't go home because the airlines are grounded, and who can't work because the businesses are closed, but we are leaving them to starve. Australian students are being supported by foreign governments during this pandemic.Quote:

University staff are already denied JobKeeper support. How many hundreds of Australian university staff will be retrenched because we ignored the needs of international students?
This is very short-sighted behaviour.
Can you post up the links documenting other countries supporting international students?Quote:

I can tell you my nephew is getting zero support from the UK government under a working visa as he choose to stay. He made his choice, isn’t complaining, is managing to get by......and is hoping rugby gets up and running soon.
Have you notice the level of debt aus government is racking up, won’t be an issue for those retired but bet ya bottom dollar us tax paying full time workers will be paying down the debt via some levy.
I’m all for helping those in need but these can tough it out or go home to mum and dad.
Sounds good.Quote:

Got that link to the Facebook post ??
I've been seeing some concerns raised over the a Accuracy and Specifcacy (speling?) of the popular COVID1- Tests. The RT- PCR is accused of producing too many false positives, and antibody testing is...well, a bit like the Wild West. Every man and his dog wants to invent a quicke & easy & cheap one, but, this appeared and for those smarter than I, have a look and comment.

There's a few other lines of thought in that, particularly the sequalae from 'assertive' reaction by health authorities of the time - Page 4 of the above.
On a lighter note, certain African country(s) should be wary of their livestock and fruits... though car engine oil seems harmless..

Or maybe they were sold some of those defective tests, you know, the ones China sold to the UK.. at a nice profit.[bigwhistle]
