But whose graves are they digging?

Haha, it's to teach them a lesson, if you do t wear a mask the virus will spread and many more die. Weather the masks work or not I love raw , straight up way they do business over there. Imagine that happening here, all the uproar

Yep. Doubt you'll see anyone who isn't poor digging those holes. For those with money...business as usual.

I sold my place. It settles on the 27 th april. I have to be out. How does that happen in a lock down

nothings sold till the $$ are in your account , given the circumstances some buyers may sacrifice deposits rather than take on more dept or if things go real bad a rapid asset devaluation .

Obviously with the benefit of hindsight, but I was thinking the same thing - the end of the earth as we know it with real estate. And I guess it largely depends where you are, but on the central Goldie and from what I hear, up and down the Goldie as well has record low rental vacancies and properties selling like hot cakes.

Maybe every one's re evaluated and looking for a lifestyle change?

Edit: Doh, didn't realise there were so many pages and some thing like this is probably already buried in there some where. And I'm not going looking to see!

Someone give me some hope....
The local today under lockdown, people who have never been to the beach in their lives in summer are going there in almost winter.


I'm going out in to the front yard to find a rock to crawl under.

Long read but some pretty valid points no matter what your views are :
Quote From Dr. Fauci: (I love his closing line ??)
"Chickenpox is a virus. Lots of people have had it, and probably don't think about it much once the initial illness has passed. But it stays in your body and lives there forever, and maybe when you're older, you have debilitating, painful outbreaks of shingles. You don't just get over this virus in a few weeks, never to have another health effect. We know this because it's been around for years, and has been studied medically for years.
Herpes is also a virus. And once someone has it, it stays in your body and lives there forever, and anytime they get a little run down or stressed-out they're going to have an outbreak. Maybe every time you have a big event coming up (school pictures, job interview, big date) you're going to get a cold sore. For the rest of your life. You don't just get over it in a few weeks. We know this because it's been around for years, and been studied medically for years.
HIV is a virus. It attacks the immune system and makes the carrier far more vulnerable to other illnesses. It has a list of symptoms and negative health impacts that goes on and on. It was decades before viable treatments were developed that allowed people to live with a reasonable quality of life. Once you have it, it lives in your body forever and there is no cure. Over time, that takes a toll on the body, putting people living with HIV at greater risk for health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes, bone disease, liver disease, cognitive disorders, and some types of cancer. We know this because it has been around for years, and had been studied medically for years.
Now with COVID-19, we have a novel virus that spreads rapidly and easily. The full spectrum of symptoms and health effects is only just beginning to be cataloged, much less understood.
So far the symptoms may include:
Fever
Fatigue
Coughing
Pneumonia
Chills/Trembling
Acute respiratory distress
Lung damage (potentially permanent)
Loss of taste (a neurological symptom)
Sore throat
Headaches
Difficulty breathing
Mental confusion
Diarrhea
Nausea or vomiting
Loss of appetite
Strokes have also been reported in some people who have COVID-19 (even in the relatively young)
Swollen eyes
Blood clots
Seizures
Liver damage
Kidney damage
Rash
COVID toes (weird, right?)
People testing positive for COVID-19 have been documented to be sick even after 60 days. Many people are sick for weeks, get better, and then experience a rapid and sudden flare up and get sick all over again. A man in Seattle was hospitalized for 62 days, and while well enough to be released, still has a long road of recovery ahead of him. Not to mention a $1.1 million medical bill.
Then there is MIS-C. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs. Children with MIS-C may have a fever and various symptoms, including abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, neck pain, rash, bloodshot eyes, or feeling extra tired. While rare, it has caused deaths.
This disease has not been around for years. It has basically been 6 months. No one knows yet the long-term health effects, or how it may present itself years down the road for people who have been exposed. We literally *do not know* what we do not know.
For those in our society who suggest that people being cautious are cowards, for people who refuse to take even the simplest of precautions to protect themselves and those around them, I want to ask, without hyperbole and in all sincerity:
How dare you?
How dare you risk the lives of others so cavalierly. How dare you decide for others that they should welcome exposure as "getting it over with", when literally no one knows who will be the lucky "mild symptoms" case, and who may fall ill and die. Because while we know that some people are more susceptible to suffering a more serious case, we also know that 20 and 30-year-olds have died, marathon runners and fitness nuts have died, children and infants have died.
How dare you behave as though you know more than medical experts, when those same experts acknowledge that there is so much we don't yet know, but with what we DO know, are smart enough to be scared of how easily this is spread, and recommend baseline precautions such as:
Frequent hand-washing
Physical distancing
Reduced social/public contact or interaction
Mask wearing
Covering your cough or sneeze
Avoiding touching your face
Sanitizing frequently touched surfaces
The more things we can all do to mitigate our risk of exposure, the better off we all are, in my opinion. Not only does it flatten the curve and allow health care providers to maintain levels of service that aren't immediately and catastrophically overwhelmed; it also reduces unnecessary suffering and deaths, and buys time for the scientific community to study the virus in order to come to a more full understanding of the breadth of its impacts in both the short and long term.
I reject the notion that it's "just a virus" and we'll all get it eventually. What a careless, lazy, heartless stance."

Pretty well said. There are some interesting parallels to draw.

Cigarettes - in the 1960s only 1/3 of American doctors believed that cigarettes caused lung cancer. It took years to fully understand the real ramifications of tobacco smoking. But the tobacco companys, governments and advertising agencies made a killing on killing people with cigarettes.
Here's just one abstract. tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/21/2/87

Leaded Petrol - in the 1920s, Ethanol was discovered as the preferred method for preventing engine "knock" or "pinging" as some call it. Trouble is, DuPont couldn't control the use of Ethanol, so set Charles F Kettering on a path to find a new gasoline additive that they could use to keep control over the oil industry.
There are numerous articles about how even the Surgeon General cleared Tetra Ethyl Lead from being a killer. Even the people who discovered it, got sick from lead poisoning and almost died, but still said it was a good thing to use, because it made more money than Ethanol.....
So here's some dunny reading.... if you're bored.

environmentalhistory.org/people/charles-f-kettering-and-the-1921-discovery-of-tetraethyl-lead/

So, having this virus infecting humans for almost a year, and having no-one really knowing the long term ramifications means that it would be much better for all of us to follow rigid precautions, rather than play Russian Roulette with other people's lives. Oh, and f+_ck the economy. I'd rather live in a society where we look after each other, rather than the almighty dollar.

Oh, and if you think this lockdown has been severe, at least you're not in Germany London in 1944, having bombs dropped on you night after night....

Things to do in your 2 hour window within 5km of home.....
Kids surfing windswell in Half Moon Bay, Black Rock, one of our lesser known secret spots.



or old men playing with camera locations while trying to hurt themselves skateboarding in the street

Great work Noz, get out there.

No surfers at the local but I'm still filling in time trying to hurt myself.

I vote Nozz for president....

He's living under the toughest restrictions ever, but he's out there when he can & smashing it.

Keeping it real,
Peace out.

Will US Main stream media rethink reporting false covid news after spikes in Europe. Their approach to covid has been Questionable but their good ol USA arrogance Shone through.
Good news Mick
Free cruise ships are back on.
just enter the Code
C.O.V.I.D.19

So Anna has opened up the border so Macha can get to Byron to stimulate Bob's economy again

I got to applaud Dan Andrews he's stayed firm in the face of extreme adversity and criticism and it seems he may have actually pulled off the goal of suppressing the virus. To me that's leadership.

Got to laugh at the conspiracy theory tossers, what do they think he had to gain from the lock downs other then protecting people's health

In reality he had everything to lose if it didn't work, plus now he got to deal with a rooted economy. No one would choose such a path for the fun of it

now back to surfing

3 votes that means Nozza is elected congratulations mate. The first president 62mac wasn't too bad drank too much in office, the last one Asea rarely showed for work and was often found sleeping after eating a whole packet of biscuits, showed a lack of leadership and generally very little input.

Don't know about the idea of having a Prez. of a longboard forum that can barely surf.
On the above listed criteria I am qualified, but my only longboard is a 12' Munoz Glide that is creased and waiting repair.
I paddle a 666 albiet badly.
Perhaps you should reconsider.
Today's lockdown / crap weather effort

Nozza has my vote.

Today's lockdown project - got too long.
