I'm not worried about them and coronavirus, lol. :lol:

I worry about their long term financial security, cost of living, housing etc. I would not want to be a late teen / early 20 something trying to buy a house in today's world.


Couldn't agree more. I hold the same concerns for my daughters. The shining light for me is that opportunities in this world for females have never been greater.

We've just received an email advising us to not come to work should we have any flu-like symptoms, this is going to be ghost town in here.

Everytime someone coughs in here the chick I work with and I start singing "My Corona".

Yep there are reports of thousands of aussies taking their chance to get 3-5 days off unquestioned. Walk into any medical centre claiming coronovirus like symptoms and you are guaranteed to get a few days off until your results come back. No work place will question you either.

Kind of glad its all kicking off now, hard to see them staying shut for over a month.

Like a few others on here no doubt, I have been receiving "Covid 19" emails from both customers & suppliers and internally within our own company.

The following is a line of an e-mail from one of my bigger NZ based customers that reads in part... "Please ask your staff when visiting our sites to observe our temporary no-contact policy. This involves no handshakes, fist pumps, bro-shakes or high fives. We will use the elbow touch or no touch as substitiutes. Hugs/embraces/kisses/hongis are also out.....presumably sheep shagging is still ok though!

My mums work have told them to just take 3 days off if you feel any symptoms coming on, no doctors note required, just stay away.

We've had parties in our supply chain email us to tell us they're experiencing delays with goods inwards and no sign of change anytime soon.

We've, as an organisation, implemented some control measures for drivers coming in and out of our premises.

If you don't want to take it seriously that's up to you, but if there's ever been a case of being proactive as opposed to reactive then this is it.

Proactive? As in stocking up on shit paper and carrying on like a pork chop because 9 people in SA have it? No thanks. I shouldn't say that, there might be 10 people that have it by the end of the week :roll:

It's actually his wife, they've been married since 1988, at a guess Wilson the soccer ball was named after her.

Pretty sure the ball (Volleyball ball) was Wilson branded..... but whatever.

They will reassess daily but at this stage Australia is exempt
