Alstonville??!!
Only 1 hour from the Qld border, so far from Melbourne and Sydney it isn't funny, but obviously full of panic merchants.
There is a high % of retirees there, and that's who fueled the run on staples last time. [emoji849]

Sorry Des and a trout, but I know it wasn't you [emoji16]

Maybe they all have holiday homes in Broadmeadows?

The lower socioeconomic parts of our society seem to struggle the most with the concept - as I expect is the case the world over.

Well, other than the fact that Melbourne's original cluster was in Toorak and the Mornington Peninsula amongst people who'd just come back from a house party in Aspen .... some in their private jets ....

That seems a tad antiquated. A bloke I know has had on occasions had an early morn **** out of a hinged Casement type Barracks window. Just make sure the Fire Watch has gone past. He said.:Rolling:

when I was in the 6th Battallion we had a phantom ****ter.

he'd **** in the soaprack in a shower cubicle.

whether he transferred the turd by hand we will never know.

isnt this the coronavirus thread?

We used to do that when we were kids,but eventually the lady next door caught us....and told the old man[bighmmm][biggrin]
We lived in a highset old Qlder.The old man made us climb a wobbly old ladder and clean off the stains all down the side of the house.[bigsad]

We all copped a good belting as well,which was just a part of life in those days.[bigsad][biggrin]
There was four of us boys,so i suppose someone had to keep us in line.

As the bogs were normally quite busy at that time of day I reckon he was "Killing two birds/turds with the one stone." Just an observation mind.[smilebigeye]

Probably an example of why some citizens can't concentrate on what's necessary during these times .:angel: But wait. We now know why some in Melbourne don't understand what's necessary during the virus. Not because they don't care. They do not read or speak English.

Poorly assimilated migrants spark virus outbreaks by failing to abide by COVID rules

This stunned me when I read it yesterday.
It's now a requirement that you are tested on arriving and before leaving quarantine.

Why that hasn't been the case until now I don't know, and it means we've been awfully lucky

Got an email from my brother in Houston this morning. The head of Harris County (basically Greater Houston) whose title, strangely is "Judge" is about to issue a recommendation that only essential workers leave home. The state governor has removed the ability of county judges to make these orders rather than recommendations, after a number of the Democrat ones planned to issue orders.

Harris County has so far had over 1200 cases and eight deaths yesterday! Both figures are up compared to the previous day, and yesterday has not finished yet (using the day that ends at midnight GMT, from Worldometer).
