    Apparently the US of A Wahl clippers are far superior to the Chinese made ones from the Good Guys.

    Don't ask me how I know.

    Yes, I know that I am perfectly legal to do it, but what I will have to do is clearly going to expose me to infection to an extent that the CMO does not like, and that I am not really keen on either. And perhaps I should comment that my 70th birthday was quite a few years ago - I was looking at some pictures a few days ago - my beard was reddish brown with a few grey hairs then, not white, and I'm sure there was more hair on top than there is now!

    To reduce risk I've been shopping late on a Sunday. The fewer people the better. I've also been leaving sanitiser in the gap between the windscreen and bonnet so I can use it before getting into the car.

    i'm not fixated on anything other than getting accurate information so i can make informed decisions about my families welfare and i have no interest in dismissing evidence because it doesn't look pretty..

    where there has been a resolution to a confirmed covid19 infection, 18% have passed away....

    in Australia this percentage is 6.56% at the moment.

    that is the stat i am most interested in watching because it shows just how effective / ineffective treatment is at this time IMHO

    the stats are from Coronavirus Update (Live): 672,027 Cases and 31,191 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer

    and Australia coronavirus information and stats

    how many end up getting the virus is another issue all together me thinks....

    Ok. Take into account that most of those deaths have occurred in places like Italy, Iran [ especially Iran] the USA, and Spain. Unless your family lives there , concentrate on Australia. You are worrying over something that may not happen. We are all worried. We are ducks on the pond, calm and collected on the surface, but paddling at 100 mile per hour. Don't make it harder for yourself.
