Coronavirus sucks.. but the NRL lives!

Hockey....

The NHL said Wednesday it will update the status of its season after learning that the NBA has suspended its regular season due to concern over the coronavirus.
"The National Hockey League is aware of the NBA's decision tonight to indefinitely suspend its season due to a player testing positive for the coronavirus," the League said in a statement. "The NHL is continuing to consult with medical experts and is evaluating the options. We expect to have a further update tomorrow."

I kinda hope they don't use the same experts that deny the existence of CTE injuries.

Also, Alpine Skiing has called time on their season, meaning Shiffrin, who took time off after the death of her father, wont be able to ski, probably win, and possibly claim yet another all-round crystal globe. Italian Brignone will be the winner this year.

I own a small take away shop in newy and one of our wholesale reps came in yesterday and said oh by the way, we also sell toilet paper.. I'm thinking of buying a pack and giving away 1 roll per customer if they spend over $20 bucks for sh!ts and giggles lol

Do it mate! And that’s exactly what you should write on the sign. There’s no such thing as bad publicity. Put some pics up if you do.

id like to see if the whole NRL Admin team got quarrintined for 2 weeks would the footy get better. Maybe then todd could announce a 60 mill profit due to unforseen travel and expense savings

I wandered into Mona Vale Woollies around 7pm last Saturday & was pleasantly surprised to find the toilet paper aisle almost completely full of stock.

I grabbed a 24 pack of bog rolls without having to fight a Lebanese mother & daughter tag team & felt strangely unsettled at being able to simply tuck it under my wing & walk to the registers with it.

There was an old gent in the aisle at the same time who I was tempted to approach & say "I'll fight you for it?" but he may not have gotten the joke so I chose not to.

It absolutely will affect the NRL.

The way this is escalating don’t be surprised to see the comp suspended OR at least played in empty stadiums within a week.

We’ll get the first home game in but I reckon that might be it.

I’ve made a tentative booking down at Currumbin Clinic. I’m going to need lots of meds, if/when it happens.

I wonder if an extended period of games being played "behind closed doors" will have an effect on the number of free-to-air vs Pay TV games broadcast each round?

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

It's only going to take 1 player to fall ill and the comp will be suspended.
I say put them all together on a ship and let them all get it. That way they could start playing again.

Ditto for us , went down to Woolies early yesterday ( opens at 8.30am) so got there at 8.00am!!

To find a line up at least 150 long.

So I instead got a coffee and enjoyed the spectacle , fair dinkum it was a stampede.

There were lots of Pacific Islanders / Chinese in the line up ( neither are high in numbers where I live) so the assumption is that they’d come some way to get here ( we live 45kms from the CBD these days).

I don’t know how many packs of bum roll they put out but I’d suggest only the first 20 or 30 would have got any and the “ one pack per customer” yeah right , each Trolly had about 10 packs of 18 or 24 roll packs.

The ones that missed out then went up to the Aldi line up as they opened at 9am.

Ive never seen anything like it , hilarious ( and ultimately pretty sad).

We’ve got about 8 rolls left so hopefully this madness will stop soon.

FMD. Are U still at the bay way Marky Mark. I think I better go shopping. Well Try.

Maybe because Woolies are implementing a "no refunds for moronic hoarders" policy, mouth-breathers are finally not buying everything in sight?

 

[wombatgc]

Here’s a good one the woolies guy told me today. They are now mass buying all the anti-diarrhoea pills. So they only have to crap every second day, saving their dunny paper. Fark me!

Well, the virus has claimed another "victim"

The Australian Grand Prix scheduled for this weekend is set to be postponed until November after a member of the McLaren team tested positive in Melbourne. McLaren have already withdrawn from the meeting and apparently the other teams, promoters and the governing body, the FIA, are set to call off the rest of the weekend which actually started yesterday.
