Larry David is a real person? I thought he was just a character on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Always stuck me as a rip off of George Costanza on Seinfeld.


Your joking, right? 8O


Of course.

It's hard not to get sucked in. And Goldfish as a pro at sucking people in. He used to do it to great lengths with his autism treatment routine until the mods finally put their foot down on it.


Goldfish isn't doing himself any favours.
It almost looks as though he is deliberately trying to derail this thread. <sigh>

Don't encourage the off-topic rants.
Don't feed it.
Not rocket surgery. :wink:

D'oh!
I just fed it too! 8O

Please don't reply to this post. :wink:

I haven't watched the video, but I have been positing the benefits of everyone wearing masks/bandana when in a public setting.

Take it to PPR, ffs.

Is this a deliberate attempt to derail this thread?
Cheap, unimaginative tactics. :roll:

The mortality rates on this coronavirus appears to be around the 1 percent range. For every hundred people that contract the coronavirus, 99 recover.

There are two other points to be made here:

1. If a country walks away from treating the infected patients, then the mortality rate will increase substantially.
2. When a person contracts the coronavirus and survives, they build up an immunity to becoming reinfected. So the concept of "herd immunity" comes into play.


Don't quote me, but I think Australia has the "best" mortality rate, where it has hit, in regard to the coronavirus.
It would have been even better if not for the "Ruby Princess" fiasco. :roll:

cyberdad posted the packed beach pics in AU on the previous page. Until recently there were also people packing the beaches in CA, OR, FL & WA until *they* shutdown state beaches and dispatched LEOs. There are the many parks, etc that were flooded with people. On a financial level, if a person isn't independently wealthy use the $$$ for rent or the essentials or help others?

Essentials first. The plane oxygen mask rule applies. Then, up to your choice.

If I remember the amount correctly Canada sent China 17 tons of gloves, masks, etc then they were short. 8O

The difference is, Australia didn't send them.
Chinese agents, here in Australia, working for 2 large chinese property companies in Australia, bought them up and sent them to china.
There is a law in the making which will make this illegal, in the future.
$63,000 fine and/or 5 years gaol.
It has been reported, in the media, that one of the head guys was also profiteering from those medical supplies.
Charming.

I read about that in AU. Canada was different, they gave it away. The thing in AU happened in the US as well; they were going to all the supply stores and ordering like 100,000 masks/etc at a time. If I heard correctly, in AU the Chinese companies operating in AU were shipping pallets to China via freighters.
