I that case, they were trying to keep the cross-road open and available to ambulances.

yeah we guess healthcare workers are more important than teachers, imagine the proportion of teachers who might have school aged children who now can’t do their less-essential work because their half of the children stay home but the other half that they teach are at school, now the school holidays really screwed our healthcare system didn’t they, they wreck it every holiday

Sure. But then you’re much less likely to be in an at-risk group. So visits are OK. One at a time in most places. Two at a time in Qld and the ACT.

What do people think about someone working from home when not enough work exists for them to do so and they are likely to have nothing to do
Should it instead be taken as annual or personal leave

It’s not me but a coworker
The department seem overly keen to grant working from home for vulnerable people but the actual work for them to do doesn’t exist.
We require access to printers/photocopier and client files which can’t go to someone house (privacy/security reasons) and the only task that could conceivable be done from home is doing the court listing paperwork and there isn’t enough of it for them to do it all day for many weeks. It means they are likely to get paid with nothing to do for most of the day

My experiences with people who are supposed to be self-isolating with maximum possible protection for age & medical history conditions is that many of them just ignore the recommendation, claim they haven’t been notified, cite irrelevant information, make accusations of ageism, or dismiss the severity or reality of the risk as ridiculous.

I’ve had times in jobs where i didn’t have much to do. I didn’t go looking for work, it knew where to find me when it wanted me. There were times in those jobs where i worked like a little brindle dog, and i didn’t get paid any extra for it, so it all balanced out.

I think CEO space time is slower for CEOs

When they get on a 3 minute phone and action something is actionably somehow stretched to over 8 hours.

To themselves they appear to be on the phone.

Perhaps if some of the people complaining about the down-turn in the humourousness were to contribute something themselves? Perhaps even something they had conjured?

I, for example, have not only been contributing material sourced from around the Internets, I have been developing the idea that one should be laughing into one’s elbow, as a bon mot du jour. I even have an acronym – LIME – and because that’s where the funny bone is, afterall.

I’m reminded of an old saying here, often applied to the passengers of a vehicle bogged to the axles: Those who wont push can at least get out and walk.

After the National Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said advice from the Government’s medical experts was still that face masks don’t protect wearers from infection.

“It is not recommended by the expert panel that they are necessary to be worn,” he said.
“It’s important to note that the wearing of such a mask does not protect you from an infection, but if you are displaying respiratory symptoms then it is, at best, a measure that prevents you transferring it to others.”

Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy said masks were providing a “false sense of security” to those who wear them.

“We’re saying again that they are not recommended,” he said.

what a way to mark out people, eh?

They’re still wrong but if they mean the number of community transmissions in Australia is so low the benefit of the mask is negligible, then they should just say that.

Even if he’s not lying, it speaks volumes about Trump that he thinks that a press conference about a serious disease that’s infected nearly a million of his citizens, and killed over 50,000 of them (right now about 6,000 short of the number of Americans killed in Vietnam ) is a good time to indulge in a little sarcasm.

I posted this to my German friend. She didn’t get it.

My first close encounter with a stereotypical German was a site job in Saudi Arabia where a German engineer was complaining about the activities of another contractor. I said “you must be joking”, to which he replied:

No, we do not make jokes.

(and he wasn’t joking)

my dad was German, he made a lot of jokes, always.. sometimes mum didn’t appreciate it as much as we did.

Yeah, I was only joking about the Germans not joking. The 2nd German I got to know reasonably well had a great sense of humour.

my mum, on the other hand, was a stern Yugoslav woman who rarely joked and didn’t like being a mother until she was a grandmother…

Sometimes I think she thought that Hitler was a good bloke who made a few bad decisions.

It would an interesting experiment if you could go back in time remove Hitler and see how the world turned out, one man gone could drastically alter the world

I said to someone on Anzac day. We are having a virtual Anzac day. I wonder what we would have been having if we had virtual wars instead? ie: Hitler would perhaps have been a different person if the first war hadn’t happened?

There are a few sites around which discuss things like that.

Years ago, there was former official in the Nazi government being interviewed.

The interviewer asked him what he thought Hitler should be remembered for.

‘Ze vonderful vay he dealt wiz unemployment in zer Thirdies’, came the reply.

Probably not. It was basically a European family feud which got a bit out of hand due to some illadvised treaties.

Yes. Or an equivalent German Empire if They wanted to replace colony system.

The famous ‘Tea Party’ was as much an act of ‘industrial espionage’ as anything else.

The Townshend Act had forced up the price of commodities, including tea, which led to the development of a thriving smuggling and black market in those goods.

The British government gave in to protests from legitimate traders, and repealed the Townshend Act.

This wasn’t popular with those who were on to a nice little earner with the smuggling and what-all, which included some of the luminary ‘founders of the nation’. A decrease in the price of legitimate imports put that business at risk.

So, they hired some local thugs, and had them crudely disguised as ‘Indians’, and set them to destroying legitimately imported cargo, including a lot of tea. And this was after the Act had been repealed, andtherepal was knon in Boston, so there was no ideological justification for the action.
