As J Man notes the true experts are dudes on rugby forums, then economists if they lean the same way as the dudes on rugby forums, then opinion writers in newspapers/twitter/tv (extra experty if they're Murdoch owned or influenced organisations), then and only then do we consult the epidemiologists...

He's right. We should move to Australia's mickey mouse level lockdown. Keep the travel ban, allow people to go to work but heavily encourage social distancing. No massive gatherings. You've pretty much described what we're doing here, after first calling it "mickey mouse". That was deliberate. I'm ...

Dad drags his fould son down to ASDA to apologise for abusing key workers before: https://twitter.com/DawkinsReturns/status/1250099514071007234 You can both see the dad doing the right thing, but sadly showing how the son's picking up bad behaviour and attitudes at home. Whatever your view on it, i...

Carlos Spencer was New Zealand's Quade Cooper. Too flashy, a game-losing brain snap waiting to happen (and did). Other than that I dunno? Pier Spies, although I think he was under-rated tbh. Not great, just under-rated. Carlos is an interesting one. Based on 2003 Super Rugby they had to pick him - ...

F u ck me some of the questions from these "journalists" are absolutely terrible x( Any examples from today? I've had to turn it off as soon as the questions start because it riles me up so much.

I seriously doubt that. Do you have any figures?

No. I made it up.

My Grandma was right - you can't trust them.

It's kind of irrelevant how poorly Trump does now (well, apart from bodies piling up). No way is Biden winning over Trump.

The debates are going to be hilarious.

9 supermarkets today and still no bog roll! Farking hoarders! :frown: You've got to be joking!!! Still? I really thought the panic buying stage was over by now. What on earth could people possibly be thinking at this stage? Is it not obvious that even in the worst-case scenario imaginable, TP is ab...

I saved and prepped for a rainy day knowing that although extremely unlikely if it occurred I would be able to take care of myself. I think having a years worth of expenses in liquid assets would actually have been an irresponsible use of cash from the NRL. Personally, I was prepared for a rainy da...

I don't. Let the market take care of itself.

This isn't market failure though. This is the Government stepping in and saying don't do business. That is precisely what capitalism is not.

The same Stefan Terblanche who played in 37 tests for South Africa? Or a different player with the same name?

Dewat Pisser joke - he once claimed that is was odd that Terblanche never got a test cap.

I think they left it as long as they could for people to get their shit together and get themselves home. From memory Winston dropped the hammer when he basically said "drop what you're doing, get on a plane home" . From that moment on I had no sympathy for anyone who didn't get home straight away....

Caucau had a good enough career to not say wasted.

He is a serious candidate for an All Time XV ffs. If it wasn't for Lomu he'd be popping up as a lot of peoples left wing choice.

A lack of wanting to go to the supermarket has helped me not drink (I've had one six pack this lockdown). There has never been a harder time to access alcohol. It's great.

As mentioned in the posts above, f^ck trying to get through this crisis while hungover.
