So for the more older of the population maybe some effective exercise machine might be helpful during the time of quarantine , might be helpful in minimising other seasonal ills - has been mentioned is not a good time to be grossly overweight.

 

Mucus is a problem ? Maybe reducing mucus forming foods could be helpful if alternates can be consumed. Wonder if elderly vegetarians suffer as much as those of the Standard Western Diet ? An interesting research project .

I am old, obese, and don't exercise. What I have, however, is a working immune system.

The problem is all the Glen-20 ads saying that any exposure to germs or virii is bad. Which is why the young, who have been cocooned all their lives, are at risk.

That video was brilliant. I wish many of the R soles, including journalists who are not supporting the PM and the people would look at it. That fellow looks like he has been drained of his personality!

can we slip a billion in to fix the nbn?

Regarding discharging unbudgeted national debt we might have to appeal to the benevolence of the 1% ers  who have 50% economic value in Australia as well as commercially adapting successfully in a manner that has increased the tax returns through greater productivity - turning disaster into a gain 

btw 

NBN is not as bad as seems , is just the 10 odd server computers of varying speeds that data has to be stored then passed on that is part of the the problem with often accessing overseas sources

my 2 cents worth ..... figure of speeches should not be taken personally 

I noticed while shopping yesterday that a few more people were wearing masks. But they were wearing the wrong masks or the masks they were wearing were poorly fitted. I'm not knocking the wearing of masks. However, I am concerned that some people may be taking greater risks because they think they are protected, when they are not. The virus can also be contracted through the eyes. Masks can be quite effective in helping the person who is wearing it from passing on germs to others, if they cough or sneeze. But masks are limited in their ability to protect us from being infected by others. Sure, they are better than nothing, but hand washing and social distancing remains our best defence against this virus. The below link better explains, if interested?
