Yes, I do know alcohol and Covif go to different places, but its still an interesting thought

One that should be pursued to the bitter end as well.


Trouble is, my intake would all go to my brain & would start to forget hings. See I tol y u.

The human spirit will get us through, just like in 1918.
One company came up with a solution for the water shortages....

However, I believe that if EVERYONE did as they were told & kept the self isolating rule, we could beat this,..trouble is I reckon there are too many selfish know alls who disregard & infect,....what to do I don't know,..in some countries they'd shoot 'em, but in Aussie???
But Bob, a few more graphs like the one you've shown would be "very good medicine" IMHO.

Lets get some perspective on this. The majority of infections in Australia have come from people returning from overseas , either by air, or ship. I doubt any of these people deliberately set to move about the community. It was a mistake from government that let those that did, slip thru. So far as I know, all people who came in contact with these infected people have been/ are being traced , and put into isolation. There is the not unexpected rise in community transmission, but only minor at this stage. If you follow the procedure as recommended , with the correct hygiene, and self isolation, your chances of infection are minimal, if not non existent. This is not Italy, we don't live cheek to jowl, not Iran, we have the infrastructure to cope. There are measures in place so that you don't have to leave your home for any reason, food can be delivered, the doctor is a phone call away, you can even telehealth it. Turn off all commercial radio, and TV. Only turn the ABC on in the morning and evening for an update. During the day, turn on to a classical music station and chill out. Glass of wine optional. I go for a bike ride along the beachfront, to get out of the house.[ that's allowed] On a beautiful day like today, looking across to Moreton Island in the distance, well, it doesn't get any better than this. It settles my mind, and helps me to remain positive. Find your good head space, and live there. Do some yoga, clear your mind. Concentrate on your little World, your Wife , house , garden. You may see it all in a different light. Forget the outside World, pull up the drawbridge. Reflect on your inner self. Whatever it takes to focus on something positive in your life, I would hate to see all this stress you are building up put you into hospital.

A couple of you thought I was talking crap when I posted a link about this a couple of weeks ago. See what you make of this then?


Coronavirus Australia: More medical supplies and groceries being shipped to China



This stock should be requisitioned by the Government.

You were talking crap when you said the Chinese Navy was transporting goods to China from Garden Island. [ your words not mine. ]These goods are not prohibited exports. Perhaps they should be. But if purchased in the right way, and declared through Customs, no laws have been broken. It's up to the government to declare them prohibited exports, then something can be done about it. BTW, baby food and powdered milk have been exported to China for years. Why is it a problem all of a sudden? And don't say there is a shortage in those products here.

Aussies panic bought toilet paper, while the Yanks were doing the same with firearms.
Although not reported, I believe Aussies were also panic buying firearms, there's none on the shelves at my local supermarkets.

'NIGHT OF THE LIVING BRAIN DEAD' perhaps?
