Re: Old Codgers
Our gov here has issued more rules and regulations regarding crowds.
We must all have two square meters around us in public areas, but does not apply to public transport?????
But Woolworths supermarkets have gone one better, you must be one shopping trolley distance from any other customer.
At the check out you must stand on designated spots, use 'tap and go' not cash and the ladies on the check outs will have rubber gloves on.
Some men have a fetish about rubber gloves, and in many instances wearing them for prolonged periods can bring on skin disease.

As per usual, they are complaining that the only advice given by the government is in ENGLISH.

Re: Old Codgers
Ran out of toilet rolls, so have been reduced to replacing them with Lettuce leaves, I realy feel that it is just the tip of the iceberg.
Up in Coles the other night, I asked the manager if he had any toilet paper. NO!" he yelled at me, in front of the whole checkout queue. They all kept staring at me, I'm telling you, that walk back down the Aisle to the toilet, with my pants down around my ankles was the most humiliating walk of my life .

Re: Old Codgers
Victoria you raise a very valid point there.
China and Russia are the two largest providers of credit across the globe.
During the financial crash of 2008 they pulled the pin as they had come to realize they would not even get the interest back, let alone the capital the way things were going.
Here in Vic the Moks are closed and they held Friday prayers at home, church services for many by video.
But the propaganda continues, the media with their version of what is occurring and most no where near the truth.
But never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Re: Old Codgers
Any official news will come regarding this crisis direct from the health authorities,
they will not release via social media, your next door neighbour, the man down
the road, dubious health spokesmen etc. The National Media's will pass on the
official messages word for word.
