Nine News:

State and Federal Government to release advice to cancel ALL public gatherings of over 500 people.

No crowds, GF to still be best of 5 series.

If there's no crowds they could bang out the remaining four games at Bendat over the next few days. No travel necessary.

Haha, chances approx 100% based on recent evidence

BTW - it's not the Govt cancelling events over 500 (yet). It's the head of the AMA recommending it to a meeting of state and federal leaders.
But it's inevitable now.

ScoMo will be resisting with all his strength but I have faith that there will be enough consensus on the advice to convince him to pretend to be a leader

What's the average crowd size at a Hillsong event? The impact of this will be enormous!

ScoMo seems to have agreed with the exert advice that the mass gatherings cancellation is a good idea, but randomly also decided that Monday is when it should start.

?????????????

ScoMo must be a Perth supporter. Impeach!!!!1

Why are the Norwood threads locked? Why can't we comment?
FTR its an overreaction and not required. Games should go ahead. Norwood need to pull their head in and listen to BasketballSA, who will act on government advice.

#052 we have 160 confirmed cases since December. And you think in 2 days we are going to get a few thousand more!

FWIW running that math, with one death in a population of two million with an 0.87% death rate and 13,611 people in attendance, chances of a COVID-19 case at RAC Arena are 99%. Assuming a 4% death rate the chances go down to 70%, which is still way too damn high.

I can't find the case/death numbers for Victoria.

Did I stutter?

What?

France claims 1,400 cases today and 30 deaths. Using the two methods above, you can have a range of cases: between 24,000 and 140,000.

So when Wuhan thought it had 444 cases, it had 27 times more.

Spain has very similar numbers as France (1,200 cases vs. 1,400, and both have 30 deaths). That means the same rules are valid: Spain has probably upwards of 20k true cases already.

There's a spreadsheet if you want to run your own numbers. I plugged in the WA death toll (1 AFAIK), Perth population (just over 2,000,000), and set my number of employees to 13,611, which from memory is the capacity at RAC Arena.

I know right haha.....he's got somewhere he wants to go this weekend, I mean if it needs stopping by preventing mass gatherings, it needs stopping now, not in two days, the virus isn’t going to say "ok I’ll wait till Monday ....he’s such a tool

They're still planning a five game series, just without crowds. If any player/staff test positive, they suspend it all.

Kings if they're down 0-2 after tonight:
"We're all feeling sick"

Doubt that would help. At 0-2 it becomes pretty easy to award the series without playing further.

If Sydney win tonight and something happens, it's going to be interesting.

Hey #RedArmy, let's all get together at Crown Sports Bar and watch it on the big screen!

*facepalm*

Thanks for the link koberulz (#799065)

best article I have read on COVID-19 and now I understand why I cant watch the cats live tonight and why social distancing is so important and why no one should wait til Monday to cancel things.

Everyone should read that.
