“I think you should stop posting these sensationalist hypotheticals. Nobody on FMTTM would be okay with that, obviously. Stupid to pretend or imply that anyone might be.” Roofie has been the protagonist and due to his silence I have no confidence at this point that he isn’t fully supportive of...

I’m waiting for Roofie to answer this question at the third time of asking: Do you believe Israel has the right to exist?

I personally know a “professor emeritus”, but they make me really question the value of anything a professor emeritus says. The one I know, maybe they used to be an expert in something (30 years ago), but I reckon their title is just a kindness that allows them to use the University library freely.

You’re just saying that because of your political beliefs. No, YOU’RE just saying that because of YOUR political beliefs. .... and on and on. 60,000 people have died. Would fewer people have died if there’d been a NZ/Australia style lockdown immediately? Absolutely. Tens of thousands. Would...

I think ST has initially misread Alvez and badly. At least I’ll give ST the benefit of the doubt. His second post tries to cover that misstep. Having said that, it seems clear to me (from the other side of the world) that the lockdown hasn’t saved thousands of lives, but rather tens of...

Apologies to those who’ve heard this story before, I just like telling it. I met Maccarone when he played for Brisbane against Adelaide here in Adelaide. (Adelaide play in red, so I wear a Boro top on occasions ... and made sure I did that night.) Brisbane had just beat us and after the game I...

Can I put my hand up here and say that I too think New Zealand have had superb leadership, and I'm not even a fan of Ardern's economic philosophy. I think Australia has done equally well, without getting the same plaudits. Taking into account Australia's 25m people compared to NZ 5m, the figures...

58 ... and holding on tight to the idea I'm still middle aged (don't know too many 116 year olds though). Oh, also ..... I've never been to a game. My plans to be at the last home game this season got cancelled by COVID-19. Missing out on London, Paris, Rome, etc .... oh well. But I'm livid...

Let's see what how many deaths there are in another week or two, which will be 2-3 weeks after the spike in cases. I hope you're right that the extra cases are just from more testing and not more actual cases, because if not I'd expect there'd be a rise in the number of deaths

Who mentioned any of that about COVID-19?

What the figures are starting to show is that Sweden is in fact an apocalyptic landscape. Most countries figures are tailing off more and more. But for Sweden the best case scenario seems to be maintaining a steady state, and in the worst case scenario they are deteriorating.

Yeah. Bluddy scientists. Wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them. Even worse when they’ve got no reason to lie, what with being on the other side of the world from the sh*tshow, where we’ve got coronavirus under control. They’re the worst. Where’s my tin hat.

Not looking too good for Sweden over the past few days. Everyone else tailing off, Sweden starting to ramp up?

I think you missed my second post "Professors across 3 Oz universities, gathering data from 9 international studies." So what you mean is "More like 50% in every other study except the 9 international studies that they looked at.

Great. 8 mins to go, just cripple one of the opposition’s players and they can’t make a sub. Gee, it’s easy thus modifying the rules gig.
