I don't like to be critical of other people's approach to their own situation in this crisis because I'm in the fortunate position of being retired, and so am able to practice 'social distancing' or even 'self isolation' (or whatever it's called) with little effort (I can just close the door to my workshop). But I gather that some of you others must in the firing line judging by recent comments about Lappa's position.
Am I right?
Bob, as I don't have those ingredients but have about 6 bottles of aged scotch can I diluted them as a hand sanitizer.Quote:

Scotch is too dilute, the sanitiser has to be made from close to 100% pure alcohol to which Hydrogen peroxide and Glycerol are added.Quote:

Of course they won't arrive by aeroplane as there is an embargo on overseas visitors. I am leaning towards illegal boat people. Keep a low profile (lying on your back can assist with this).

PS: I trust your health issues are holding up. I can see that you would be in a higher risk category than most.

In the 6+ weeks I’ve been on crutches and in a moon boot I’ve lost 5kg. Apart from wielding the crutches have done zero exercise. I was hoping to claim the shot of grappa with my morning espresso as the curative but I’m now tilting towards simple loss of muscle mass and SWMBO being in charge of portion size!
I'm doing okay as I've been practicing social distancing for a while, however this last week I've had to have more social contact as my wife sprained an ankle ligament and couldn't do any shopping.Quote:

They were given to me as Christmas presents in the 70's, never liked it that much and now drinking any alcohol is out of the question as it would make the cirrhosis on my liver worse.Quote:

look I know that the health systems in Australia are state based, but a graph like that is really particularly unhelpful.Quote:

Anyone testing positive for the novel coronavirus in between Batemans Bay and the Vic border and at least as far west as Yass will be sent to Canberra Hospital for treatment.
'twould be much more useful if the above graph were based on health regions where the ACT region is included with those bits of NSW that are also treated in Canberra.
I get the face shield being fully deductible, but the ear muffs and helmet ??Quote:
