We may not even be allowed back in to Oz, so I may have to liaise with some of the Top End forum members to gain covert entry.

Perhaps Trout might care to do a road trip, with boat in tow, to Faraway Bay Bush Camp?

I wonder if Tasmazia will be quarantined from the North Island?

I have travelled to far away bay by sea and it is a hell of a long journey in a small boat from the nearest boat ramp at Wyndham

Maybe its because the flue season is an annual event (that we are used to) and it isn't being splattered all over the newsfeeds like this new virus is.

And that's got nothing to do with Corona, I'm sure Helen will be allowed back.

Dont blame the news mate.
The entire country of Italy is on shutdown. Thats not media hype thats fact.
Apparently even trumpy may have it now.
Cant expect people to be aware of entire countries shutting down and pass that off as just hysteria or whatever.
There is some method in there madness. Sadly it should have happened here already instead of life as normal and concerts/special events going on regardless.

Global financial crisis is happening because of this virus, people are dying, virus in mutating BUT CALM DOWN LIFE AS NORMAL.

Despite the fact a second ENTIRE country is in lockdown while our country is having marty gras, moomba and full house MCG finals.
Government says to keep your distance and not touch others yet how is that possible with such events happening while an epidemic is upon the world?
Australia will get this virus worse than most countries mark my words. Flu season is upon us.

Hell even 3 schools in AUS are now shut down because of spread. Give it a week and ALL SCHOOLS will be shut.

Yea be calm and life as normal, until you get the fever then its the game of life.

After your last post I choose to ignore you. I'd hate to have you beside me in the trenches. Or are you trying to promote panic on purpose?

Ignore me if you must.
As for having me next to you in the trenches. Meh ok.
As for panic. No not really i just have my point of view which is different from most here and i voice it perhaps without the polish needed for a public forum with a large number of older members.

I wish no ill of any member here or any Aussie for that matter.
But i see a problem and it concerns me.
Our it will be ok attitude is dangerous at this time especially for the elderly.

Sorry i dont share your views on this subject.

A rescue mission! Just the ticket for the Wongi wanderers to nut out.
