Great. The economy takes its biggest hit since the 1930s, so let's establish a new totally superfluous bureaucracy.

Ooh catch up! But, does your team have the Courage to do this work? Methinks, no. Guts or Courage is left for the movies.

'Incredible outcome': Just five new coronavirus cases in NSW despite near-record testing - ABC NewsHealth authorities in NSW carried out more than 8,800 tests yesterday, and they're delighted that only five came back positive. It really is an incredible outcome given that Brad Hazzard allowed the Ruby Princess to dock in Sydney. Good to see BradHazzard and NSWHealth being so forthright about the NZWarriors flying in to NSW .. Maybe the warriors should have just come in by boat , he and NSW Health seem to be far more relaxed when you turn up that way ..

‘We are always correct’: China takes dig at US over coronavirus responseA Chinese news agency has released a scathing attack on the US response to the coronavirus pandemic, accusing the country of being arrogant and contradictory. That's cute. See if the Chinese Communist Party had actually done their job properly in the early days and been transparent, this virus might not have spread the world. Once again though, they're just trying to cover their own rear through their 'independent' mouthpieces. Trump straight up ignored the “dumb” “hoax” of a virus he “was in a very good position” to beat before he lied about “lab evidence” History will, rightly so, remember him as a boob who dined glutinously on the by-design ignorance of his people until his arse-ending out of power.
