Question is, despite how stupid and ridiculous we see the comment as, someone will try it, so who will be the first to die from it?


Someone from the deep south? And their family will still vote for him at the next election!

It will be a Monday IMO, they will be thinking that people will ease into it, I'm guessing there will be a lot of sickies on the Tuesday.

Get in early because I’d imagine all pubs would have to perform a head count and patrons will be required to line up and wait

Shit yeah, I'm hoping social distancing becomes the norm, it will slow down influenza and other spreadable contagious viruses.

News reported there has been 55 cases of the flu so far this year, normally at over 1800. They are putting it purely down to SD and hand washing, you know the things that we should always do

Yeah there is no need to stop a lot of the social distancing laws that are in place.

October is my guess.

I also guess they'll limit the number of patrons allowed in at any given time to a very minute number.

They should do this now.
Start May 1st.
Get some businesses back up and running with strict guidelines.

For the economy ( small business and hospitality workers ) they'll want to get some movement going in that space, I think July 1 we'll be eating a schnitty in a pub.

Speaking of snitty’s, anyone know of a website or such that shows pubs that are doing takeaways?
Surely someone has been bored enough to put one together.

Yeah it's called uber eats! Search for the pub then order direct from the pub. Then the **** at uber don't get a 35% cut.

Walking through the drive through at the Warradale last week (getting a sneaky roadie on my exercise-walk) some punters in a car were discussing take-away food options with the attendant. The word "schnitzel" featured heavily in the discussion.

If you're after a pub in particular mate I've just been checking their FB page, some only doing dinner takeaways and not lunch.

Back to the school topic, just about to walk out of my empty classroom for the weekend and it looks like my class is projecting to have 14 students attending Monday and 16 learning at home. Got my first online meeting with kids at 9am to hopefully iron out kinks. Half is half is difficult, almost easier from a surely teaching standpoint having a strong majority one way or the other. We're staring fully online to try keep the equality across the board and will have to adjust as the numbers on/off-site change. Wish me luck. :?
