Stop doing it people!
Spreading misinformation is not helpful

Or at least spread misinformation that will highlight the idiots in our midst. Urine as a highly effective hand/surface sanitiser, for example. Stock up before it’s all gone.

Can someone enlighten me as to why so many people are driving around with trailers?
They were everywhere yesterday but they all appeared to be empty.

[Citroënbender]

Gas bottles, possibly. The “preppers” say minimum of three 9kg bottles and the suppliers might be enforcing the “not in cars” rule.

To speak generally and seriously, trailers usually seem to increase in desirability during a receding economy.

I don't get why Safeway/Coles have tried to stop online orders, If I was our benevolent dictator at our supermarkets I would do the following:

Have 'oldies hour(s)' where you just open the shops for our elderly and their carers.

Then close the joint up and focus on pushing everyone to online/phone ordering, everyone pays CC over phone or via e-commerce systems.

Then all your existing staff can work on picking, packing and drivers delivering door to door without having to man registers or have the issues of emotionally charged customers all over the joint.

You could run the joint 24/7, you don't have to put so much effort into keeping stock on the shelves, the stores are responsible for deliveries to their regions.

You'd be more efficient at getting goods to customers that way and you aren't exposing your staff to COVID-19.

At work if you call me from Melbourne Metro, from the time of that phone call to 3 hours later you can have your order in your hands, I don't see why companies with the huge resources of Safeway/Coles can't do this.

By far the least efficient customers I deal with at work are ones who stand in my office in front of me, I can smash out tons of orders if people are emailing or using online ordering rather than coming into my office, I've got a warehouse team, a driver and many couriers and freight companies at my disposal.

Delivery companies are already overloaded with work and the home delivery guys bring it into the homes. Hardly efficient

So it's more efficient bringing everyone to the shopping center and into the shop front rather than then staying home and having goods delivered?

To quote Australia's finest lady - please explain?

Just quietly I know a million Australians, most who have cars and a driver's license who are looking for an income, fuel card, minimum wage and a partnership with a local workshop will solve this insurmountable challenge of 'delivery companies being overloaded'.

Why cant you then just implement this order online option then and go down that path?

Yes
These people will mostly have cars. No refrigeration for frozen or chilled goods, and very very limited space.
Incredibly inefficient as they'd have to do countless trips back to the source.

The childish attitude towards one another on here is staggering. Grow up and speak like an adult

Yes, it may be 'incredibly inefficient' but it can be implemented nearly immediately as it's using existing resources already in place and then improved on the go as the situation develops.

Ok then, so what is your solution to improve the supermarket distribution network? You're yet to contribute any idea aside from trying to crap on others.

No theft either, well not from the customers.

Keep in mind that each person including the deceased needs their of 4m² of social distancing space which would mean the food court would need to be at least 44m².

Why would America be upside down in the death Vs recovered outcomes?

Off the top of my head they are running at 2 deaths for every 1 recovery where everyone else seems to have way more recoveries than deaths.

Could be fake news media trying to make the pres look like an idiot. Again.

I think it is testing here in the US.


I know a guy, tested positive 3w isolation from likely time of infection (2.5 weeks from first symptom).
Currently symptom-free, but there is no 'End of Isolation' test.
There is one unreported recovery ... and the only person I know who has been infected.

Drove to Sydney international airport yesterday from Canberra and until I was actually in Sydney there was only trucks on the roads, it was kind of surreal.

[Poetic Justice]

There is a strong political element to all of this which brings out the strong opinions amongst chatters. I see it happening a lot on facebook about "what I think should happen" and "what they should be doing" etc.

Federal government has asked Ford Australia for help making ventilators

[MITCHAY]

I've been working from home since last Friday and had no issues until today when it was so slow I went into work. I arrived right on lunch time and barely anyone.

Traffic was good but you always get that one ***** that wants to sit in the right lane

I usually work from home ad-hoc maybe once or twice a month and it's a break but doing this longer term is quite different then I thought.

I had to turn the TV on to get some background noise going when I usually have it off

I cant work from home, but yes, the roads have been empty. My main issue is early mornings there are so many more people driving like theyre still drunk from the night before. Yes nsw police have put rbt's on hold for safefy reasons, still doesnt mean if you get pulled over for being all over the place, you can still get asked to count backwards from 10 into the breatho.
The main revelation from today related to this whole situation, the main building management company my work works for put out a directive. 1 person per elevator. In principal it sounds good. In practice with people lined up it adds way too much time to everything. If your in a loading dock or a foyer in a line with the prescribed distance, it takes an age. If youre on a floor and call a lift, if theres a person in it you have to let it go. Multiple times. And yet the clients will most deffinately complain about labour costs when theres so much time wasted on waiting for an empty lift car.

Chinese-backed company's mission to source Australian medical supplies

A whistleblower from the company has told the Herald it was a worldwide Greenland effort - and the Sydney office was no different, sourcing bulk supplies of surgical masks, thermometers, antibacterial wipes, hand sanitisers, gloves and Panadol for shipping.

The company even posted its efforts of packing pallets in the company’s Sydney headquarters on social media.
