I'm getting tired of people sharing advice about Covid 19 like the claim about drinking warm water every 15 minutes or taking a deep breath and holding it.
The latest is the false claim that you can call a dedicated number and get a dr to check you out at home if you think you have symptoms I've had two highly intelligent friends forward this type of stuff which is typically claimed to be advice from a nurse at some random hospital. Stop doing it people! Spreading misinformation is not helpful Last edited by xxx000; 26-03-2020 at 05:11 AM. |

So Guilty by association, means he “deserves” Coronavirus??? Seriously.... The number of dills on this site surfacing with crap, in the face of, probably, the most life-changing threat in our history, bloody astounds me!

Actually, I’m (sort-of) glad HRH apparently has it. He’ll receive good care and recover quickly.
If CV later drags down a number of the Royal Family at more-or-less the same time, he’ll be a steady hand on the wheel. |

I don't get why Safeway/Coles have tried to stop online orders, If I was our benevolent dictator at our supermarkets I would do the following:
Have 'oldies hour(s)' where you just open the shops for our elderly and their carers. Then close the joint up and focus on pushing everyone to online/phone ordering, everyone pays CC over phone or via e-commerce systems. Then all your existing staff can work on picking, packing and drivers delivering door to door without having to man registers or have the issues of emotionally charged customers all over the joint. You could run the joint 24/7, you don't have to put so much effort into keeping stock on the shelves, the stores are responsible for deliveries to their regions. You'd be more efficient at getting goods to customers that way and you aren't exposing your staff to COVID-19. At work if you call me from Melbourne Metro, from the time of that phone call to 3 hours later you can have your order in your hands, I don't see why companies with the huge resources of Safeway/Coles can't do this. By far the least efficient customers I deal with at work are ones who stand in my office in front of me, I can smash out tons of orders if people are emailing or using online ordering rather than coming into my office, I've got a warehouse team, a driver and many couriers and freight companies at my disposal.

To quote Australia's finest lady - please explain? Just quietly I know a million Australians, most who have cars and a driver's license who are looking for an income, fuel card, minimum wage and a partnership with a local workshop will solve this insurmountable challenge of 'delivery companies being overloaded'. |

Gas bottles, possibly. The “preppers” say minimum of three 9kg bottles and the suppliers might be enforcing the “not in cars” rule.
To speak generally and seriously, trailers usually seem to increase in desirability during a receding economy. |

Why would America be upside down in the death Vs recovered outcomes?
Off the top of my head they are running at 2 deaths for every 1 recovery where everyone else seems to have way more recoveries than deaths. |

These people will mostly have cars. No refrigeration for frozen or chilled goods, and very very limited space. Incredibly inefficient as they'd have to do countless trips back to the source. The childish attitude towards one another on here is staggering. Grow up and speak like an adult |
