CV and mad panic behaviour

[Gointocarlton]

Do I get to select the 820 ? ?

Sadly they are departed and we can’t help them.

Again I ask you insurance… how much are you prepared to pay in premiums ?
More than you earn in income ? Half ? 5% ?

I understand what you’re saying and don’t disagree, I’m just pointing out that if these centers are to be properly built and fit for purpose AND ready to go then the bastards (politicians) won’t be trimming their salaries to make the budget work.

I think if we want a pandemic facility the NT one has provided the blueprint, but I’m not sure that one (or more) in each state is financially workable. Maybe one other, both federally funded and everyone (foreign arrivals at least) funnels through them probably doesn’t work for local cases though.

The 820 might have been preventable though, if this thing has taught us anything, its that we need to be better prepared.
Deaths aside, from a financial point of view, the Mrs and I have worked hard over the years and have saved a penny or 10. She can work from home as she's a teacher, so can I if I have to so no problems there. Unfortunately, far too many people are are not as lucky as me and they are the people I literally lose sleep over. Mortgages, school fees, bills, food on the table with no money coming in, it makes me sick to the core just thinking about it. As nation, we need to be much better prepared for the next "Scotsman" (no offence to the Scottish, its a reference to the crazy Scott who came out of the bushes from nowhere during an Olympic Marathon and took out the leader). We have to have learnt a lesson surely.
