Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
Outrageous! Typical AFL , picking on us . We are totally dispensable to them.
Then to make matters worse, we then have to fly to Perth, go into isolation, play the Filth again, followed by both WA teams in front of their 60,000 fans in a noise of affirmation. Total BS.
Hang on. Sorry. Cats are going to WA, not us.
Well that is outrageous. They and the Pies get 3 weeks to bond. They can make themselves at home and get acclimatised , and so play Eagles and Dockers in the best possible circumstances, whereas we will probably have to do a fly-in-fly-out mission later in the season. Bloody Cats and Pies get everything. We miss out again.
Outrageous.

Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
Geelong also have a 5 day break so fair for both.
It probably means we have a longer time till our round 7 match.

Not exactly, we’ll have 3 hours longer break between games than them, so lock in the win!longtimesaint wrote: ↑Wed 24 Jun 2020 8:06pm Geelong also have a 5 day break so fair for both.

Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
Victoria is fine. Andrews has overreacted. We should have 50 person limit in bars and restaurants.
Community transmission hasn’t skyrocketed- it’s stable.

Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
Actually, it's not stable; it's escalating at 1:2.5. You know that old story about the grains of rice - start with one grain on the first square of the chess board, multiply by 2 on every square and by the time you get all the way around the board you've got ... well, an awful lot of rice! Now, multiply every grain by 2.5...saintspremiers wrote: ↑Thu 25 Jun 2020 8:28amVictoria is fine. Andrews has overreacted. We should have 50 person limit in bars and restaurants.

Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
Is the virus escalating or the testing? I kind of get what you're saying freely but shouldn’t we have had pretty much everyone infected before we took this virus seriously at the end of March?freely wrote: ↑Thu 25 Jun 2020 10:54amActually, it's not stable; it's escalating at 1:2.5.

I'm not taking the p155, I genuinely cannot understand the infection rate in Australia. I realise it is extremely harmful to the elderly and the sick and those with poor auto immune systems, let's protect them and the rest go.

Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
I don't understand these numbers. Can someone tell me if every other state are also conducting the exact same amount of tests and what the rate of their infections our compared to ours? Or, do we simply have a high number because we are conducting so many more tests?
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
And we get 3 days more rest than Port.
Should we wait for the outcry from those who ask for a “level playing field”???
Nah, I think hypocrisy is more their style!

I remember when people thought that this virus would be all over by May and we'd be playing that Shanghai match this year? Shouldn't laugh, but if you didn't laugh, you'd cry. Overseas travel may not resume until next year and maybe not even then if we don't develop a vaccine.
And the way things look now we could be having rolling lockdowns by July...

Loads of health care workers who are not old and frail have died. Even doctors.
So it is not a 0 and 1.

Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
Hey samurai, interesting point you raise. There's actually been no peer reviewed studies that confirm whether or not smokers are more susceptible to the virus or not.
Bizarrely there has been a school of thought that suggests smokers are less susceptible as the cilia within the lungs has been damaged so badly from smoking that they are unable to remove the virus cells once inside the lungs. Interesting theory.

Re: Round 6 Cats on Thursday night.
There is truth in what you say Ghost Like, I have heard from very old asthmatics that they were given the go ahead by doctors to smoke cigarettes as it cleared out the airways!!! Mind you I was told that by old guys and it was 30 years ago, so I take it with a grain of salt.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Fri 26 Jun 2020 7:02pm Hey samurai, interesting point you raise.

I did see that people who had a range of conditions which were paired put people at advanced risk. I think it was catalyst or four corners, or it may even have been on an SBS news program. But they ranked the risk factors in order and they looked like this:
Diabetes/Obesity
Dementia/Stroke
High Blood Pressure/heart condition
Cancer
Asthma (low risk)
Now, I can't honestly remember if smoking was in that list now, but I remember it definitely being alluded to at some point.
On another point I think the issues of childhood obesity will need to be tackled seriously by our federal government now. A lot of young people and children are developing really poor life habits (fast food/takeaway diets combined with little incidental daily exercise) and it puts them at risk of destroying their health. I suspect this may be a reason for the high mortality rate in the United States for example because the top two risk factors go hand in hand.
