Dee Man Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Just seen a screenshot of a post from a driver on an Uber drivers chat page who claimed to have just dropped off two passengers at the hospital in Perth (Australia) to get checked for the Coronavirus.

Tight minge Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The battle for third intensifies. Singapore get another point on the board, up to 5, but its anyones guess who can break away. As Slippery P said, Cambodia get of the mark with a dramatic late entry last night and Vietnam finally for over their goal glut and move up a point. Unsurprisingly Nepal could be isolated at the foot of the table if they are not careful. Its ‘back to work day’ for most Asian countries, MTRs and buses full again after the long New Year holiday. So expect to see points hitting the boards from tomorrow. News just in from the teleprinter. China notch another to 82, with 2863 and USA may have picked up another point. Possibly the ringers starting to perform as they chase Thailand for second. As Granny Danger pointed out, the markets are starting to see the severity and political issues in this scenario and the possible lack of truth coming out of China. With the extended holiday in China to 2nd February will mean delays to all your shit from iphones to toilet rolls (and face masks) and the loss of production and freighting will have a big impact on the global economy. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/wuhan-virus-singapore-fifth-confirmed-case-moh-12359140 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight minge Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Really taking off as a global event, the minnows of Sri Lanka strike early this morning. Could this mean another potential ‘big hitter’ in India opening their account soon? Unofficial reports coming through that Pakistan have struck 5. Trying to get one of our roaming reports over to the stadium to confirm. India and Pakistan would be perceived as realistic challengers if they enter the competition, but are they maybe joining too late? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 And the spike starts. China announce now 106 deaths and 1300 new cases since yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one country that does incompetence and corruption on a world-class scale, yet slips under the radar, it's dear old Ceylon. Give it a week and they'll have 200 cases and the government will be blaming it on muslims trying to eradicate the Sinhalese population. Fun times ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Apparently anyone in HK who has flu like symptoms are being taken away and put into quarantine which is an unused multistory building. No wonder people aren’t stepping up and admitting to having the flu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder people aren’t stepping up and admitting to having the flu.Would have to be some size of a multi-storey building!Quarantining anyone with flu would be a hell of a resource issue. We are slap bang in the middle of flu season for most of Asia right now. Like Singapore they are probably quarantining people with fever and other symptoms only.They have designated areas which they used before, two old holiday camps and part of a military base. They will use them unless the protestors fire bomb them first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Two new cases in Singapore, we are after you Slippery P.Entry or transit now blocked to nationals with Hubei issued passports or have been there recently. 2000 Hubei residents here to go to quarantine if deemed necessary and “Quarantine orders have legal force”. Next will be shoot to kill policies :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having not played in the Colombo High Commission Fives for a good six years, I doubt my influence extends that far these days. The old High Commissioner was a good Accies fan, to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
