I'm getting tired of all the inconsistencies with what we can and can't do.
No groups of people to gather anywhere but it's ok for kids to go to school and for teachers to interact with them, but it's not ok for kids to visit grandparents... Minimum of 4 sqm per person except kids don't have to worry about that. Kids aren't carriers and are unlikely to catch the virus - I guess they didn't ask the family where mum got the virus and 17 of her kids got it too. |

Dunno about that.Mechanics that I know haven’t got cancers,rather their hands are disease free and cuts etc heal up in a couple of days.As an aside their knees and wrists are stuffed from too much kneeling on hard floors and pulling/ pushing too hard on spanners

Just curious guys and girls
What are you doing for exercise in Covid 19 and to try to release pressure of life? I am still working a lot and am under a lot of pressure at work- almost brutal- I used to sit at the beach and have lunch to unwind, went for laps in Newcastle ocean baths, and went to the gym, and every 6 months odd went rock climbing. All that has gone. I cannot run due to a knee injury when I fell off a bicycle being towed by a motorbike when I was a kid. ![]() I have been going for afternoon walks at about 3.00 to 4.00 pm around east end Newcastle and beaches to stretch back and legs and to get out from cabin fever but it is not enough...... Been going pressure cooker mad and had a brain fade recently releasing steam driving in wrong style in wrong place at the wrong time. Just dusted off my bicycle and went for a ride on Sunday evening, now just waiting for saddle sore to ease - plan to go night time riding after work to release the pressure. What about everyone else- what are you all doing to get through this and release pressure while keeping to the rules of social distancing and preventing infection (ie swallow a gob full of ocean water with covid 19 while doing laps in ocean pool)? Yoga? Meditation? self levitation?

We are being lied to... COVID-19 is just another flu strain and they are not confirming actual deaths from the disease so they can inflate the numbers.

I did the COVID-19 test yesterday night after work at Royal Melbourne Hospital as I had some of the symptoms and I met the criteria for the test, I work in a customer facing role and I've been all over Melbourne visiting people at their workshops and I'm in the age group for the highest group of carriers without the significant symptoms.
Walk in, you have to use your phone to fill in some information, then you walk in and they give you a mask you have to put on and ask more questions verifying your personal details. You go past the first gate keeper nurse, they take observations, blood pressure and heart rate. Once this is done you go in further, doctor talks to you about symptoms and prods a bit further -its only now you find out you can't go to work until you get your test results. Once you're at this point there's no going back, I tried to backtrack and exit stage left because of the time off work thing without giving notice but they were rather adamant I'm not going anywhere without a test ![]() Once this is done its into a stall, they take blood from you, a spit sample, then they put this thing like a pipe cleaner in your throat, swab your tonsils then another pipe cleaner goes all the way up your nose which feels as awesome as you can imagine it sounds. Then its out the door back to the car. Just got my results now - negative, I'm free to go back to work tomorrow, 24 hour turn around on results. It was less than an hour in and out of the joint, very orderly, very nice staff. As far as my experiences go with the Royal Melbourne Hospital, I rate this 9 out of 10. Point lost for no prostate massage... |

Getting away from fingers being in places where the sun don't shine, this Twitter clip from Q&A has an interesting opinion on lockdown economic damage vs lives saved in the context of COVID-19.

Senor Cozzo, I just noticed your eye watering post count. Surely you have to give up sleep or work to scale those heights...

I bought all this stuff ages ago and while I didn't use it for most of the time since I moved (2017) I've been back into the weights since November (excepting all the smoky days) so good to have it. |

Another trial has shown the malaria drug hydroxycloroquine to be actually worse than useless.

Otherwise on weekend there's a growing few things to do . I do have a ten speed Malvern Star mountain bike . Maybe I ought to get it out do a bit of tyre pumping and oiling and use that a bit . Today , tomorrow and Friday I have RDO's to use up by request from our boss .Bit of a crisp ,nippy morning in the valley so will have some time to use up . Til then my model railway needs some attention . New controller to get set up and a bridge to work more on .. ![]() ![]() Got to build a second one of these Walthers truss bridges for the other side of the layout .Took me ages to find one that suited .... Keeps me occupied on cold days ...The top picture was the original layout before I made some large alterations a year or so ago but it ran beautifully thanks to the help of a fellow modeler who gave me a hand with a few things , as I did with his . Needed to make changes to allow more scope to go digital now .. Glad I did . This virus stuff gives me a bit more time I guess to run new B.U.S. wires for switch motor for turnouts and points ..
