Junior small groups

Incorrect.

Social gatherings down to 2 people so there goes group training, now I think you can only do 1 on 1.

Outdoor training still needs to observe social distancing rules.

Every day a new rule comes into effect, most of the time just a bigger response to a previous one.
But back to the original issue, courts have been closed down to stop maverick coaches training. But outdoor groups can operate up to 10 people. When will these geniuses seize upon this loophole and find an outdoor basket to train. Or even tennis courts to work on handles. Needs to be yes or no. If it gets banned like it should, those running the session should be fined big time. If parents are working and kids are old enough to stay home alone, parents would have no idea what's going on. One aforementioned coach hasn't got insurance, wonder what would happen if suddenly a kid infects everyone and so on down the line. If they go to visit Nanna on weekend and she gets it I hope the coach gets jail time. But until then it will be grey area. Simple, just ban these small groups training and police it. Not hard for patrols to drive past and see organised activity.

Yeah, there hasn't been any confirmation of re-infection, which is why I said "reports" and "if true".

In an ideal world we can get it low enough to contain what we've got via track-and-trace, which will still mean closed borders one would assume. Tasmania's numbers probably allow for that already, I'm not sure if any of them are out in the wild. NSW is a long, long way from normal life.

The issue for me is they only say "State X has Y cases", which in itself is meaningless. For example, Tasmania recorded 11 new cases overnight. Eight were from people getting off cruise ships. Assuming they were appropriately quarantined the risk to the larger Tasmanian population hasn't actually increased as a result of those eight.

Focus on whether or not there's been recorded community transmission is silly, especially since we were only testing those who had been overseas initially so of course they weren't going to record a community transmission. The question is people who were out in the community at any point while they had the virus. If the only cases in a given state were people who were under quarantine before arrival, the risk to anyone else in that state is zero regardless of how many cases they actually have. If there is only one recorded case but that person has been out in public or interacted with anyone at all, then everyone is at risk.

Phew, thank god, I'm back to thinking Koberulz is talking shit again.

There's already reports of re-infection in China, which means getting the disease doesn't give you immunity. If true, we're shut down until there's a vaccine at a minimum, but that news doesn't bode well for a vaccine either.

When the peak has been reached, things will start returning. Authorities don't want a sharp spike, no way health services would cope, best they can hope is a slow smooth rate of infection and try and give hospitals a chance over a longer period of time. Most will get it and have mild illness, 80% of cases.
We're about to go into our flu season, so the next 6-8 months are done. Around Christmas the worst should be over and this time next year we should be back to normal in a way. Of course virus may have mutated and we're all dead.

The facts don't change just because you don't like them.

What crap ‘Shut down for years’ stop the scare mongering bullshit.

Govt couldn't just come out and introduce all measures/controls from the first day there was diagnosis confirmed.

"We, much like the rest of the world, are so behind it's scary." Yet another scare monger. So tired of this BS that gets posted as 'facts'.

Taiwan was the first country to react to the virus threat, on 31 December 2019, after China self-reported cases to the WHO. 31 December 2019! We, much like the rest of the world, are so behind it's scary.

Finally I agree with Koberulz, if the government had been forward thinking we should have shut borders months ago. Be proactive rather than reactive. Wait for the 1st case from outdoor classes then they'll be banned.

The entire country should be business as usual by now with the whole thing blown over, and instead we're on pace to end up like Italy.

No, we should not be following government advice. We should be staying the fuck inside.

No Kobe. We should be following Govt advice pure and simple. Don't step outside your skillset, capabilities and job my "friend".

Club Presidents are doing that and they will fail their stakeholders and ultimately themselves as a result.

The official advice has been two steps behind ever since this thing started.

We should be in total do-not-leave-the-house-under-any-circumstances lockdown, but schools are going ahead because apparently this is the only illness in the history of mankind that can't be transmitted by children.

Don't wait for the government to ban things. Stay inside.

Now Adam Murphy from 36ers is pushing the limits
Personal training in a park

One of those puts people at extra risk of COVID-19, the other...is people doing what they want to do with their money.

If the crowd funding effort starts pointing guns at people we can talk.

^^ Akin to Forestville and the DJ saga a couple of years ago.

For the seventy eighth time this week, something being legal doesn't mean it's okay.

He is well within his legal right. If he follows the rules, butt out.

You also have the ability to earn if your smart about it.

Was KB a yearly appointment? If not and he has multi year deal how does that work, does he get a payout?
I suspect he is out of contract and trying to build his personal coaching business. To start with it was very elitist, latest dumb venture was just to show up with ball and do some workouts under guise it was safe which it wasnt. But mums and dads would have been starstruck to have Billy or Sally train with him. Either way it was stupid in current climate. Can see how desperate these coaches are, nothing to fall back on financially. Rashad has to fund his cough, cough, lifestyle somehow. And any imports are screwed without these gigs.

Yo what the hell did I just read. Stay off the WEEDUH

"shooting around with a mate and even being supervised yeah ok"

Not okay, hence rec centers are closing. What don't you get about 'social distancing'?

Anonymous, herd immunity has nothing to do with COVID-19 because nobody is immune at all....

No individuals putting money ahead of safety... shooting around with a mate and even being supervised yeah ok but to encourage actively training session - not cricket. Aint on...assume be parents there adding to numbers. Then cross over of groups. What might seem insignificance becomes larger and importional to reducing risk the social distancing guidelines. Which clearly state separation spacing... disappointing but same attitude as Bondi. She be right mate but cobber times they are a changing my dingo dimbat fiend. Do you bit. Slip slop and separate.

Individuals putting their own beliefs and safety before others, what does that sound like dickhead!

Why do people think things have to be banned before we should stop doing them?

It is when everyone is in close proximity and sharing a common piece of equipment like a basketball you nonce.

Kevin Brooks is obviously no Rhodes scholar..

but his behaviour is a new kind of reprehensible stupid..

if you can't read the paper maybe get someone to read it to you

Who are GTM?
Sleed is now available at a discounted price also

Not just me then ?

As mentioned,GTM and KB doing the same.

you would think the numb nut insurance man would have had this covered go figure

it is absolutely disgraceful again putting money before players the imports should have been flown home a long time ago

This is crazy. What don't some not get. Moronic behaviour. Disgraceful.

Looks like an ACL. Unfortunately, their finals hopes are probably done.
