NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 17 - Crack'a'Corona Sunday

Is it just me or have there been some absolutely hilarious comments on here recently?
On my phone so can't quite, but the one about "it's getting out of hand" around the sanitiser chat and referring to over 70s as half of super league were good. There was one a few pages ago that literally made me LOL.

Good work lads keep it up.

The funniest thing about those hand sanitisers is they are useless against this virus! Makes your hands smell nice though.

This is not good information. People should check your Ministry of Health (or equivalent) web pages if they want information. Hand sanitiser (or soap wash for 20sec) will help protect you and the people you interact with.

I think the three dirties ordinary day to day stuff that we handle (ie not dirt or excrement for example) is money, those public transport handles, and shopping trolley handles. Basically, you can not avoid this virus, you probably have been exposed to it already. Virus’ live everywhere except Antarctica (you can’t catch a cold in Antarctica -ironic isn’t it) and on most surfaces. I plan to just get on with life rather than die worrying. You won’t even necessarily know you even have it! I think The NRL is doing the right thing. Keep playing as long as possible. There is no greater risk of catching this virus playing football than catching public transport everyday!

And again.... I really think you should be careful giving advice mate when you clearly do not know what you are talking about. Its dangerous. This from the WHO:

Good stuff R&T. Those comments annoyed the crap out of me too. I was falling asleep when i read them last night, otherwise would have posted.

Great stuff R&T.

A lot of people seem to be disregarding the experts quite openly these days, it’s baffling.
Some strange there out to get us mentality.

It’s like hey if my cars broken I’ll take advice from a mechanic no problems.
But if it’s health related then the doctors and government are out to get me so I’ll take advice off Facebook

How many Broncos forwards you got already? Got 3 myself and wondering if it's a bad idea getting a 4th...

It's a difficult situation to find the path of being cautious without causing panic.

Yesterday I cancelled a local sports competition that I administer. Most people took it well but a couple had a go at me for it - including one coach who is probably the most at-risk person associated with the club.

The silly thing is, its actually pretty easy, if we weren't a society of morons.

Social distancing, self isolation, decent hygiene practices WILL stop it spreading. Most people are ignoring that or entirely ignorant to it.

The kinds of people panic buying aren't even taking precautions themselves. They're just buying everything because they want it for themselves and don't give a shit about anyone else.

It is probably too late in Aus now. It's already everywhere. Govt way too slow to react.

I really don't want to get involved as it'll just offend most but I think the biggest issue is definitely so many people panicking. The disease is dangerous to the elderly and those with pre-existing health-related conditions, and they're the ones that should be receiving the care.

Every young fit person with a runny nose taking all our toilet paper and taking hospital beds they probably don't need is the issue (not as much as issue here, yet, as in Europe). Experts have been saying that this virus is little more than a mild cold for 80% of us, so if everyone stopped panicking and concentrated on looking out for and caring for those most vulnerable, things wouldn't have got so stupid. 

I personally think that shutting the country down will have far, far worse effects than the virus would... if humans weren't a bunch of selfish, illogical gronks. 

Anyway, apologies to all that offends. It's not meant to but this thing has brought out the absolute worst in humans, and just as we'd all still have plenty of toilet paper if every selfish fucker hadn't gone out and bought them all, this virus probably wouldnt have gone so ridiculous if care for those who actually need it had been prioritised instead of the hoardes of people that don't need it. But that would require some common decency, which appears not to exist. 

Anyway, TLT. Any excitement for it, or just a futile exercise?

I'm probably going to do the same today and I am expecting some backlash for sure.

Haas and Carrigan are my two.

I had a decision between Fifita/Aekins and Ponga/Stimson.
Went with the later

I don’t think anyone would find anything offensive there. All good points in my opinion.
I saw a video that stated if everyone acted as if they already had the virus and did their best not to pass it on, then we’d be better off than everyone trying to make sure they are ready ‘when’ they get it

this is actually a good point and is probably the easiest advice for the masses to understand ahha

Anyway, updated BE's on the website. As always, they are an indication only

It’s what I tell anyone who I talk to on the subject. Then I cut them off and talk about something else

Both?

Safety first aye guys. You are both doing the right thing and should be proud of it. Hopefully you can not let the criticism affect you. It comes from a place of ignorance and selfishness.

Yep, just what LB said. 

The panic and hysteria is what's made it all get so out of hand. Obviously it would never have happened this way, but imagine how much better off we'd have been if we never even knew about it? Young fit people got a sniffle, and they just exercised normal precaution and rode their colds out, whilst the sickest amongst us received the care they needed.

The panicking by those who have no real need to panic is what's fucking everything up.
