Futtocks Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 @JennaBrooks· 1h Absolutely incredible that fans will be allowed back at @NRL games NEXT WEEK! First professional sport since the pandemic that fans will be allowed back! Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

gingerjon Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Interesting. Aussie crowd though - we'll have to play spot the difference with the cardboard cutouts. Meanwhile, over here, because we did everything wrong, we're having to play Leeds United v Derby County in Southampton because we need to keep fans as far away as possible.

THE RED ROOSTER Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Full Details - Not so sure this should be open for corporates only https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/06/05/small-groups-of-fans-to-be-allowed-back-for-nrl-games/ As we are posting about Bankwest Stadium there should be enough room to let ordinary season members in with a spacing of one person per four square metres - Bearing in mind you have up to 50 in a corporate box.

Manfred Mann Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 On 05/06/2020 at 15:30, POR said: True 102 deaths compared to 40 261 On a percentage of population basis, the UK has nearly 2 times the death rate of the United States of America, and roughly 2.5 times the death rate of Canada, from Covid 19 On a percentage of population basis, the UK has 158 times the death rate per capita of Australia from Covid 19.. The USA has 81 times the death toll per capita of Australia Canada has 51 times the death rate per capita of Australia. This is a shocking indictment of the British Conservative government under Boris Johnson, moreso even than the indictment of a much less intelligent and honest (right wing) government of the USA. At the same time the comparisons are a a remarkable positive achievement for the (conservative) Liberal-National Party government in Australia. The data per capita is very similar to Australia in New Zealand. So the comparisons offer a very similarly creditable achievement for New Zealand's leftish government, led by Jacina Adern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had been getting slowly worse, and at the end he was diagnosed with heart failure, kidney failure, diabetes, hypothyroidism and complications from a previous episode of stomach cancer. He was diagnosed with COVID-19 one day before he died after many negative tests previously. His death certificate states the main reason for his death was COVID-19. Absolute nonsense.

He’s only just in his 50’s, I can’t imagine what it would do to an older person. My point is it didn’t do anything to him. he had it for a maximum of 36 hours, yet it went down as the main cause of his death, which it clearly wasn’t. We have no idea how many of the older “victims” of this virus have actually succumbed to it, and this flagrant use of it as the main cause of death is disturbing.

Those who come back have two weeks of mandatory quarantine under guard in accommodation chosen by the government. Some of these people then travel to their home state and require two more weeks of quarantine. I can’t even depart Australia without permission and I’m an Australian citizen. Permission is not easy to get either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
