7:41pm. We get a delivery at home from Star Track :shock:
2nd busiest day of the year through the network. The drivers will make some good coin today


Why so busy? Those that received the $750 go on an internet spending spree?

Why so busy?
Easter sales plus with stores closed for the Coronavirus online sales have gone through the roof the last few weeks. Tuesday leading into Easter is always busy as most companies guarantee anything purchased by COB Monday will get it before Easter. The Tuesday after Black Friday and the Tuesday before Easter are the 2 biggest days freight wise

Spoke to a friend in Italy.
A village inside the Lombardi region has a population of 4,000. For the whole of 2019 they had a total of 190 deaths of the entire year.
Just last week alone they had 70 die from the coronavirus.

In more positive news it seems like some industries will start to get back to work next week in Italy.

If we keep doing what we're doing, or in fact become more vigilant in our distancing measures, it appears to be trending in that manner.

We must all remain vigilant though.

This Easter long weekend will be a big test.
Hoping people are smart.

A 62 year old woman from Metropolitan Adelaide passed away in the RAH this morning from COVID-19, she became infected with the virus on the Ruby Princess cruise ship.

Sickening what is coming from that ship.

Report on AA this morning that a Victor local noted "Two whole families moved into a holiday home near me yesterday"

F*cking idiots.

I'm expecting cases to increase about 7-14 days after Easter Long Weekend.

A bit harsh? Unless they’ve given them a credit (and even then considering what’s going on) it’s f#cking rude.

Someone explained it well this morning, if you invested in Shares you are not expecting any dividends/income at the moment, therefore if you invested in real estate you should accept you may not receive income for a period either.

Bugger that. I'd board the doors shut with them still inside, then run around the outside of the property with quarantine scene tape.

That's an extremely old town. To lose 190 out of 4000 last year suggests the average age was close to 70.
Not surprising that they are dropping like flies.

Yes, he's in the RAH.

ICU?


Unfortunately, yes.


Out of ICU and listed as stable no longer critical.

Definitely, they claim they have mortgage payments so no cancellations. SA people so they don’t think they should be cancelling however they refunded an interstate booking
