Dunno if it was already mentioned, but the Australian football season has just begun with no spectators. Very weird to watch, but still a good group of people have turned up at the pub to watch (with plenty of distancing and sanitizer).

Very weird to watch, but still a good group of people have turned up at the pub to watch (with plenty of distancing and sanitizer). The Melbourne International Comedy Festival was due to start next Wednesday and they announced 6 days ago that the entire thing was cancelled. They're offering full refunds on all tickets (many people buy tickets months in advance for the bigger drawcards) but if customers bought their tickets via the MICF website they can choose to donate the money to the performer instead. A bunch of comedians tried to band together and figure out if there was some way they could livestream their shows but pretty much most other comedians went "Yeah no my material won't work without a live audience reacting to it in real time" so it pretty much fizzled. And now the MICF has just announced that even thought they've cancelled all the shows they won't be refunding the performer's registration fees (which start from $500 upwards) because the eventuality that the entire festival might be cancelled simply wasn't addressed in the contracts and the comedians are all LIVID.

These tests are making some evil people fortunes. In USA most teste are probably syphoned by rich people, stolen by the use for normal people. Why test a random person when a rich guy would pay 10.000 $ for it.

Sewer Adventure posted:It's pretty much the same here in France. Though there are severe shortages of face masks, doctors aren't even wearing them. I haven't been out since the lockdown started (I am a goon), so I don't know how many people are out and about, but I can see cars milling about from my window. Apparently around 90 people have been fined in the town I live in in the first 24 hours for breaking the lockdown. How does the lockdown work for getting supplies? Is it like if you weren't a hoarder at the start it's just "lol, gently caress you, fine"?

Sony was gonna present some bullshit about the next Playstation at GDC, but that got cancelled. Instead they had Mark Cerny stand in front of some paper cutouts and do his talk. Eurovision could totally pull off something like that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSmWIR-D6ro

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Someone needs to tell that to the US Senate as well Yeah, they had African Swine Fever (a name used by all major international news agencies, ya trigger-happy loons) . Good read though, if you never heard about the extent of the swine epidemic there it explains why. quote:When the deadly virus was first discovered in China, authorities told the people in the know to keep quiet or else. Fearing reprisal from Beijing, local officials failed to order tests to confirm outbreaks and didn’t properly warn the public as the pathogen spread death around the country. It's quite a long article. Bottom line is: if you believe a single statistic or statement out of Beijing regarding Coronavirus, you are insane.
