I suppose accounting firms aren't considered essential services. Looks like I'll be getting a lot more fishing done.CelestialScribe posted:It is not going to last a year. Hell, it won't even last six months. Yeah I'm tipping after a couple of months people will be pretty happy to sacrifice boomers to the boomer flu and get poo poo back to normal.

Just spent a couple hours helping my dad and his wife shut down their cafe. Split up excess stock between family, staff and friends. Chucked a bunch in the local food is free fridge. They had a couple days notice that they'd have to shut. Don't think it's sunk in for them yet tho.

Presumably the cases will only continue to increase in the next 14 days and then we'll see the effects of the shutdown. My wife is a piano teacher and I showed her how to do remote learning using video conferencing.

hambeet posted:i've got stacks of white wine, but im out of red, low on beers and half a bottle of scotch. Australian Chardonnay has come a long way from the days when it tasted like drinking woodchips. Lots of minimally oaked or even unoaked styles that are fruity and zesty and delicious

My grandfather used to talk about during the war (he was a farmer so exempt from service) how they rationed beer, you get one a day and would then order "orange juice" which from what I understand was mostly ethanol.

Schools are closed from Tuesday in the ACT. Have we talked about that yet? I expected it to happen at some point but now that it is happening I have belatedly realised how difficult it is going to be - not just managing work with a kindergarten aged kid but also how I am going to keep up his literacy and maths education at a pretty important age, I am a bit skeptical of whatever thrown together online resources the school will have put together by Tuesday. I feel I’m going to have to become a substitute teacher as well as parent for younger child and getting work done somehow at the same time. I am super lucky relative to most in that my job is not at risk and it’s fairly flexible, but the logistics of school (and presumably child care soon) stopping for who knows how long are just crashing home. It would suck if he basically misses kindergarten this year. Edit: and to what degree (if at all) I let him socialize with other kids in coming months. The only problem of course with any of this is how to balance work and parenting, but it willl obviously be a widespread problem - especially for little kids who can’t read yet to do the online stuff - and parents in much tougher circumstances than mine may have some hard choices to make which could really set back their kids in the long term. The early years are so critical for lifetime literacy and learning. Blamestorm fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Mar 22, 2020 |

Still nothing from Qld govt. If this backwards state comes out of the national cabinet that is currently in progress with the intention to prioritise economics over lives, I swear... we have the example set by the rest of the nation right there in front of us E: This is one of the few laugh-out-loud facebook posts I've seen lately:

I'm now taking bets with my siblings on whether or not my parents - who I just dropped off at the airport to go to Adelaide - will be allowed to come back to Perth in a weeks time, or if they're going to have to work out some way to get on the last flight out of Radelaide. They're only making the trip because my grandma is a bit too frail, deaf and batty to be making the journey by herself, and my dad did warn my mum this might happen. Hopefully they're able to sort it out.

Not trying to be a dick about this, but what the heck is important enough that it's worth risking putting someone over 35 on a plane right now?? Surely it would make more sense to hunker down and isolate rather than risking it. If one person on that plan has the drat Crow, everyone on it is looking at an extremely high risk of infection. Yikes.
