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

No additional toilet paper than what we already stock and I haven't had pork chops for a month or so, might get some.

You can act as you see fit, no need to give those who are taking other action shit because of it.

The World Health Organisation has listed their 4 key points, just this morning as :

1- Prepare and be ready.

2 - Detect, protect and treat.

3 - Reduce transmission.

4- Innovate and learn

5- sit back, crack a beer and laugh at the morons fighting over arse paper

Best case sample I could find is on the diamond princess cruise ship.
3711 passengers and crew were tested.
705 contracted the virus.
7 passed away.
1 % death rate
Of those 7 most were over 70 with underlying issues
Just another bad case of the flu really.

You can get a vaccine for the flu if you're over 70.

Do any of you have parents over 70?

Do you have 10-20 year old kids that are going to have to build a life and future going into a recession would be the counter argument

I sure do, a 19 and 23 year old, I worry endlessly about their futures and they're both in good jobs.

I'm not worried about them and coronavirus, 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.
