Coronavirus (Covid19)

[Magellan]

The apocalypse has begun:

Righto, so its the Central Hall in Southampton that hosting 'Where-Are-They-Now-Con 20.'

This is what my daily conversations have pretty much amounted to

"Welcome to You-know where, this is FC"

Customer: Hi, I'm travelling overseas, do you cover coronavirus

Me: No, pretty simple, if its related to corona virus, its not covered

Customer: Oh what abou....

me: Nope

customer: Not even if....

me: NO. Im sorry, I'm not sure how much simpler I can make this for you.

But what about existing policies purchased before this all kicked off

I'm referring to people purchasing insurance, or those that purchased it after the cut off

I gathered that but in regards to my question does your insurance still cover existing policies or once a pandemic was declared are they void?

[Sheik Yerbouti]

OK so the Grand Prix is off, footy looks likely to be called off/crowdless cricket the same
but................
I've been forced to attend some bullshit fire in the garden art show, just received a text to not come early because of large crowds.
So we're banned from almost all sporting events, but it's all hunky dory to attend to attend the yarts?
Wouldn't want the cheese cloth set to lose any money.

Our insurance doesn't specifically exclude pandemics in the PDS as a general exclusion (at this point in time)

Australians advised not to travel overseas unless its essential. There goes the missus trip to England for her brothers wedding in April!

Be interesting to see how this all impacts on pubs. I'm working this weekend so am hoping for quiet nights.

The missus and I went to Semaphore on Sunday and there was some big festival thing going on there, I'm not racist but there were a lot of Asian and Middle-Eastern people there and given that China and Iran have provided us with the most cases I was reluctant to go and see what it was all about.

Thought the same when I was at Crown casino Sunday night but then got more drunk

I'm sure if there was a bar amongst it the stakes would've been different.

Should of dropped into the Semi or the Fed.
Always an eye opener there.

Nothing wrong with the Fed. I recall you tearing up the dance floor there about a year ago

The ball and chain was annoyed that we didn't stop in to one of them, the Palais was her choice, I was thinking at going down to the Pier, parking was chaotic and I was a little bit hungover so we didn't hang around long.

Next time we'll probably stop for a feed at the Bodrum Kahve or kill both birds at the Birkenhead.

I can picture that.

No better place to lob into after a drunken day in the Port.

So, Scotty from Marketing has declared there are to be no gatherings of people larger than 500......but this doesn't take effect until Monday.

Now why would that be? Why wait???

Oh, there's a Hillsong conference in Sydney.

With a bit of luck they will all infect each other..... natural selection at work.

I rang 'you know where' yesterday and i was told i would be covered provided there was a no travel ban.

Could this be because of the dates we bought our tickets and took out our insurance.

Yeah will be interesting to see how long this stays in place. Our plan is to still travel regardless provided we can get onto the plane.

Basketball SA cancelling games this weekend and others in doubt

What will be the effects on amateur sport, especially with footy starting over the next month? How about things like lower-grade cricket where they might be sharing pads, gloves and helmets (presume clubs still do this)?

Another event cancelled/postponed is the Canberra Marathon on the first weekend of April, three weeks time.
