That article says to me that Beams is done... also the pay cuts make things interesting in his regard too...

I'm 100% certain Beams is not returning.

Where you getting those numbers from??
I’d be staggered if it kills 500.

I’m talking about this Virus specifically. Not the seasonal Flu.

thats what you get from that post?????
kinda like the road toll add: how many is too many? 100? and they bring out his family members.
i dont give a **** if he plays again, i dont think he will. but i dont care
there will be a few more who wont play again, the ones on the brink, maybe not form our team, but there will be retirements because of this, too hard to keep their fitness up, not physically possible, especially for the older players. and then there will be the not game fit injuries. i think we forget this season, and hope for next. this is not going away anytime soon. wakey wakey. just stay alive.
and stay home

I know, but surely covid-19 is not less harmful than seasonal flu, right?
Unless you think the lockdown will stay in place forever and save everyone... |

The former (50,000) assumes that 20% of the population is infected and the latter (150,000) assumes 60% of the population is infected. Each assumes an infection mortality rate of 0.6%. This is neither secret information, nor speculative. Obviously, I’d prefer that your 500 were correct - but the country would not be in lockdown over a disease that was expected to kill 500 Australians. A bad flu seasons kills 25 times that number, here. |

And yet, we do not go into lock down for a bad flu season? This smacks of a greater 'hidden' agenda. Laws are already being changed to suit the situation. It's amazing how many liberties people will forgo in a crisis event. There's one every ten years or so now just to get the changes through.

It's still speculative to the extent that it's a theoretical projection based on assumptions. The 'worst case' scenario is also based on no intervention i.e. no lockdown, no social distancing, no travel restrictions. Since these are already in place, those forecasts are no longer valid

Which makes comparisons to the seasonal flu invalid to....
