When it really happens: SHTF...

He went onto tell me that he had tried "the hose pipe method", strictly for research purposes, and that he could report that it gave one a "nice refreshing sensation".

Yes, it does take some bravery to sample the bum gun... They're very common in Asia, Africa, Arabia... seems the be a theme there.

Personally, while asking "What have the Romans ever done for us?" I do acknowledge 'Sanitation' very quickly. Credit where Credit's due...

Yes, the pipe... I’ve seen it very often in bathrooms in North Africa and Arab countries. Never used them. It seems to me just like an underdeveloped bidet
And back here we are

Some weird information circulating around here concerning the danger of the corona virus. Not sure what to make of it. Supposedly the model everyone is basing their reactions on came from a group at the Imperial College of London which showed 500,000 deaths in the UK and 2.2 million dead in the US has been revised to 20,000 or fewer in the UK and that health systems are not likely to be overwhelmed. I would think Italy and Spain would dispute this just a bit.

In any case, Trump's team leader now seems to be supporting this revised theory. Meanwhile, articles are coming out wondering why Los Angeles has a much less severe problem than NYC. In the article it's staring them in the face but they refuse to accept that the delay and poor leadership in NY is the primary cause.

Nothing much changed here. Our county infected number rose to 21. What I find puzzling is that Pennsylvania's testing is showing the vast majority tested do not have it. This is puzzling because they aren't supposed to test unless you are showing symptoms. We have roughly 1600 cases and 16,000 have been tested and do not have it. 16 have died which is 1% of those that get it which is pretty high compared to the flu but again, we don't know how many have it but never get tested because they are not severely sick. So basically only 1 in 11 that have been tested with symptoms is coming back positive. I've not noticed anyone else actually reporting negative test results so don't know if this is significant or not. So what did those 16,000 have, the flu?

Not going to say much but there was a Doctor on F/B explaining the size of China and a tiny little speck where Wuhan and the famed fish market with bat wing and not 20 miles from there is apparently China's Class 4 pathogen facilty amazingly SARS also originated from somewhere near there as well.
Our Govt shut down our gunshops as of midday today thank goodness I have squirelled very well over the last 2 years I have enough on tap to make people of ill intent's day a very bad one indeed, very sadly the fuel theives have been hitting our farmers as if things are not bad enough, I would be very wary of doing anything like that as farmers are apt to shoot first and ask later which I agree with b*gger them turn the baddies into compost.

Yesterday 2 people were badly injured near here riding dirt bikes on a track blind corner and rode flat chat into an excavator. Long story short the owners had put markers there and were going back today but theives removed the markers from the track and along came the bikes Bang!. Chopper called airlifted out, police and firies in attendance. Not to be detered the theives came back and drained the diesel from the tanks others in another town not far from us are bringing fuel pods to servo's. This is so sad for our country which prided itself in the helping hand to complete strangers not now though. I agree with 22sqnRAE's multiculturism blending, the Aussie I knew all those years ago when working on the land in the bush has gone and along with it a tradition that I hold dear to my heart this is so very sad indeed.

All I can do is provide what I can for my family and keep them safe we are at Defcon 2 now with the theiving, the regions are now being locked down no unessential travel as of 23:59 31/03/2020 you cannot cross out of your region unless going to your work the Govt is calling this Phase 2 of 4, Rottnest Island is now a quarantine island and hotels are being commandeered for isolations, the army has being mobilised to help the police but cannot arrest people just monitor and inform the police of isolation breakers people have already been fined $0000's for not being compliant.
The stock market is gearing up for an assault from China as already they have been apparently buying up stuff even before it gets to auction the govt should freeze all stockmarket and land dealings period stopping takeovers at dead bottom prices.

Sadly the worst is coming, to all of you keep safe and look after your loved ones

Have you applied for a patent or are you donating you invention to mankind?
Great idea BTW.

I think looters or other criminals exploiting tragedies (we have gipsies breaking into hospitalised elder people's houses and occupying them at the moment) should be dealt with in a drastic way.
No need to explain it further.

Yesss Sir Ovidio I agree 130%
