Coronavirus (Covid19)

But how does the family member come into contact with them? Shouldn't they (the international traveller) be locked up in a hotel for the 14 days waiting out the contagious period before they meet their family?

Probably snuck back in just before that rule came into fruition, which pisses me off a bit as I've seen people on FB saying just managed to avoid some form of restriction by a day or few hours, stiff shit, do the right thing and act as though you didn't eat the system.

More than 10 potential buys have expressed interest in buying Virgin

About 20 interested parties currently. Wesfarmers the early favourite I’d think

Really, a mate of mine is a leading bean counter with them..... I will find out from him if they are pitching!

Rule Wesfarmers out, no money in airlines apparently.

There is for some.

Did you just miss out on making the list Jimmy?

How anyone can earn more in one year than the average person would earn in 4 lifetimes is just ridiculous

That year was a one off as he received a bonus that was tied up to shares and the share price went through the roof

This is a different scenario, relative low cost entry for the buyer compared to starting from scratch or buying in good times.

Dropped back to 12 mill a year didn’t he?
Poor bugger

Has a base salary of about $2m but has a stack of bonus options.
And no I’m not defending him as I do t like the bloke

Have heard Branson is now looking to increase his shareholding to buy back in, guess it makes good business sense, but confirms the governments decision was correct.

That's what I first thought, but even still the dates don't seem to make sense.

The 14 day lockdown came in on the 15th of March.
If they got in on the 14th, no lockdown required, fair enough (noting it would have been good for them to do the right thing anyway).
So they would have been contagious until the 28th of March at the latest. So the new case caught it before the 28th. If the new case only has it for 14 days as well, how have then been found positive after the 11th of April?

So it shouldn't have come from someone who snuck in before the lockdown started.
Anyone who came in after shouldn't be interacting with anyone else.

So for mine that means either the 14 day contagious period is actually longer, or they are attributing it to international travel when in fact it came come community transmission.
Makes you wonder if SA Health are just declaring these cases as 'solved' just to make the numbers look good?

More likely theyre declaring fake cases.
This isnt over by a long way, we have "the 2nd spike" to get through yet. See it coming a mile away

Anyone else see Branson having a sooky that the government didnt help??
Absolute moron.

Etihad doing likewise. I would suggest that no one wants to take on the $5bn debt plus a poor lease arrangement combined with some other poor contracts that JB signed off. Once the debt is majorly shaved and contracts voided the investors will come running

Yep, said all other governments were helping their airlines, except Virgin were in trouble before COVID, big difference.

Gina, Pratty and I fall outside the scope

Today’s funny observation!

Lining up at Woolies lady in front of me goes off at the checkout girl because she didn’t wipe her hands before serving her, going nuts yelling at the top of her lungs.

She then immediately orders her pack of cigarettes!
