A lot of people in the UK think we were a bit slow and wish the lockdown was implemented sooner. If they do lockdown in Australia it would probably be better done now.Aarondewit wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 1:45 amThankful that there's some racing on today.

Australian racing
Yes they were stuck on the Bendigo raw feed since 2am but changed over to RH at about the halfway point. Was worried we were only going to get the raw Bendigo feed but hopefully they have it sorted for the night now.
They are loving Tommy Marquand down under.

With a cure maybe a year away, and total isolation only sustainable for relatively short spells, I think govt accept that we're all going to get it, but they're doing all they can to keep it manageable. If they keep it manageable and there's a good chance to survive it, the only alternative is a total lockdown until a cure is found and that's just not feasible.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 1:51 amA lot of people in the UK think we were a bit slow and wish the lockdown was implemented sooner.

Maybe people who've had it should get an "I've had it" badge, and be able to mingle with other "I've had it" badge wearers, but they'll stay away from the "I haven't had it" badge wearers because they can still be carriers. Eventually everyone will get a "I've had it" badge, especially when a vaccine is found and you get one when you have your jab? Set the whole 'badge' thing up as a mobile app and you know who around you is in the group you can or can't mingle with. Had-its and not-had-its can be with their own kind but not mix.

An important point. But I think we are way too late now, anyhow...Derek27 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 1:51 amA lot of people in the UK think we were a bit slow and wish the lockdown was implemented sooner.

A tee-shirt would be better than a badge.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 3:33 amWith a cure maybe a year away, and total isolation only sustainable for relatively short spells, I think govt accept that we're all going to get it, but they're doing all they can to keep it manageable.

I've often wished everybody in the world with a cold would self-isolate so we could rid the world of colds. But realistically, a complete lockdown would never work unless everybody cooperated.
What is the chat in Australia in general about racing being able to carry on until next Saturday?
I personally would be surprised if it is still on but would be interested to hear from those in Oz as to what the general chat is about racing and CV in general in Australia amongst the media and the public as it is hard to judge from the UK as our coverage unsurprisingly is very much focused now on our own situation.

I peaked early on Rosehill, first race was brilliant then I have gradually done worse there and ended up with a -£11 on the Group 1 (R6)
Usually I find the next hour or so the best of the session so fingers crossed. Have found the markets away from Rosehill good, just had one bad result which I soon got back thankfully.
Same here, two losses in a row at Rosehill. Didn't have much confidence in anything in the G1.PDC wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 4:52 amI peaked early on Rosehill, first race was brilliant then I have gradually done worse there and ended up with a -£11 on the Group 1 (R6)
