On a more serious note, what a great time to take out a Kayo subscription :
 Hopefully, I will get to watch some replays of classic sporting events ...

Plenty of Kobe stuff after he died. My uncle, a Cats member, said he got an email saying KAYO are offering members a discount ($2.5/m) via a code he got in an email. He was an existing member so was laughing. Has anyone got similar? I certainly haven't.

Now i can't remember which way around it was but... Apparently, they were trying to come up with a virus that only infected people who were in close contact with camels. OR A virus that did NOT infect people who were in close contact with camels. No prizes for guessing why they would be useful when you are fighting a war in the middle east. So, viruses do not....but chemical weapons potentially can....and people are trying too!

The new tests are promising to deliver results within an hour, but there will remain many questions. Because in practice it seems going to be tested itself might be the ultimate hazard, it's a significant conundrum because authorities need to identify the infected.
I drive past a major suburban hospital twice daily, on passing you can clearly see queues of people at the special entrance for COVID-19 testing, there are nursing staff dressed in hazard gear handing out disposable masks, taking temperatures, logging names, filling out questionnaires and generally doing their very best to assist people. They have hearts of gold, too gold for their own good. But their work is complicated by regularly dispersed morons who have pulled the face masks down around their chin so they can have a smoke, some are behaving reprehensibly if the nurses try to stop them smoking! I realise the nurses are trained to deal with this, but why should they have to, use the army and police to enforce the queues while there are not that many queues to enforce, and let the nurses job will be much much easier. The nurses shouldn't have to put up with nutters making their already hazardous job worse. Sorry for using the term nutter I realize this can be emotive and insensitive, but it's an emotive issue. Yesterday police had to arrest a clearly mentally ill individual getting in everybody's face at a local shopping center medical clinic, there is no indication that person was positive but keep this in mind as the state government releases a swathe of prisoners and mentally ill patients from restricted living. Especially in light of teenagers behaving badly in shopping centers, sooner or later something is going to go tragically wrong. Now I'm not sure if this is true or not, but this feeds back into a rumor going around that a young girl returned from the USA on a flight several weeks back, was quarantined and tested as clear after two weeks quarantine, after another week or so for some reason she was re-tested and she was positive. It looks subjectively like when doing one of the original tests she accidentally exposed to the virus. Fortunately she is asymptomatic, but if her relatives or others fall ill the lawyers are going to have a field day and we will all suffer! This example issue is a major reason why some commercial entities are closing, not specifically related to direct risk but more about litigation and liability. The net result of all this is surely a higher level of lock-down for a two or more week period, it probably should have been done already because earlier is better.
