So a player has a runny nose and bought some Chinese food the other day or something.....the world has gone mad.

I hope Freo got in early and stocked up on toilet paper.

I hope Freo got in early and stocked up on toilet paper.

I hope so too because there is no toilet paper left, it's been wiped off the shelves everywhere.

I can hook you up with some used stuff if you are interested?

If he gets tested positive what happens then?

Does the whole club go into quarantine?

Which teams did he play against and when?

This could lead to compete mayhem.

They played Bluescum last weekend so no great loss there to the League

In fact it could be a good thing

What are the specific pre conditions to be tested?

Who do you go to and where to be tested?

What is the waiting period for testing?

What then is the waiting time for receiving the result?

No doubt, with a profile as an AFL footballer there will be fast tracking, but how fast?

And what about the rest of us?

We just self isolate for 2 weeks and, if we feel OK then back to normal?

And if we don’t, what happens then?

To me (and from reading reports from the WHO) the response to this unidentifiable appears chaotic (thank you Scomo and Mr Sea Hunt)

Then we get to the economic disruption courtesy of the disruption to people going about their lives

If there is a sliver of light it is out of China, with numbers falling and economic activity recovering

So isolation has been effective (acknowledging that many have died from WHO data and analysis of those most at risk)

It is now the rest of the World and how we respond

He goes into quarantine.

Yes, it does.

The players who played in their opposing teams will both go into quarantine.

Yes, it will.

The DJIA Futures have been halted at a 5% fall

A 7% fall on the Market sees a 15 minute pause in trading

A 13% fall sees a further 15 minute pause

A 20% fall sees the Market closed for the day

On a raft of fronts, including Putin and OPEC, there is concern

It is interesting that our political leaders are silent

There is no leadership

None whatsoever

[Scollop]

What happens if there's a war and the West is under attack or heavily involved? Will it be good for my super balance....long term so to speak?

Don't tell me that I'll need to stock up on more toilet paper because I realise that's a no brainer

Total overreaction is my read of the club statement:


The Fremantle Football Club advises that a player has been sent for precautionary Covid-19 testing after having contact with a friend who had been in China earlier this year.

The player has advised the club that after his friend returned from China the friend underwent a 14-day isolation period, as recommended by the Australian Government for all Australians returning from China.

The friend reported that they had suffered no flu-like symptoms during or after the isolation period.

The club was further advised that following the completion of the 14-day isolation period by the friend, which ended more than two weeks ago, the friend travelled to Perth and visited the player.

The player reported to club medical staff today that he was suffering flu-like symptoms and, as a precautionary measure and despite the fact that the friend had reported no flu-like symptoms, the player was immediately sent for testing and isolated.

The test results are expected to take 24-48 hours.

The club will provide a further update when more information becomes available.

That evil Putin.

The sultan is worse.

[asiu]

whole heartedly agree with that as well

[chook23]

tested negative....

reaction to the original story re this was ........Panic......media/social media gone mad.

[The_Dud]

Phew! The dunny roll hoarders amongst us (a few names come to mind ) won’t have to tap into their stocks just quite yet!

[Linton Lodger]

On this topic, if anyone here knows or comes across a d**khead who is raiding Supermarkets and hoarding toilet paper, its your duty to call them a gigantic f**kin idiot. That's what I'll be doing.

I have never seen this sort of panic and general d*ckheadry and these clowns need to be told.

If you trigger them when saying so, just up the ante. Their behaviour is completely disruptive, childish and moronic. Let the idiots know.

[The_Dud]

I think the Venn diagram of dunny roll hoarders and Herald Sun subscribers is just a single circle

Just another crap post. I'm certainly not hording date roles, not so sure about you though, seeing you keep harping on it.

I think you'll find most of the morons panicking are more likely to believe all utterences by the media. Therefore, they are more likely to be on Facebook, Twitter and watching the ABC/Studio 10.

There was a time I would've agreed with your theories about the HS. Nowadays the HS is balanced and rational, compared to the aforementioned.

If Big Ears has his way, most of us will be in self isolation in a month’s time so the hoarding may be actually necessary in a few weeks time.

[shanegrambeau]

I hope Freo got in early and stocked up on toilet paper.

I hope so too because there is no toilet paper left, it's been wiped off the shelves everywhere.

I suppose people are selling toilet paper on eBay already. Would that be technically against the law? Air B in B, could become Air T and P.

Nonsense. Even Italy which is copping it full force right now is still keeping pharmacies and grocery stores open while everything else is on lockdown. The TP frenzy is nothing but media fearmongering and good old fashioned people being sheeple.

I think santya would agree that we’ve had our disagreements over the years but at least he’s not a tosser.
