Wrong. They will take an old person off a ventilator if it's required for a younger patent without a moments though.

I haven't checked Coles, Woolies or Aldi at Belmont Forum lately (even though I live about a 5 minute drive away..lol.. we prefer Mirrabooka and go there a couple of times a week because we know more people who work in the various stores, etc. over there).

Have to go to Rivervale IGA in the morning, I might also pop up to the Forum to see what's happening there with the toilet rolls, etc.

Spot, I have discussions with cousins and we can’t work it out.
None of us in history have had cancer, and I do ancestry too going back hundreds years.
My mum only passed over a year ago and I asked a lot of questions in the last 5 years of all the ancestors, so I was avid to get quite a bit of info on ancestry.

How come he has cancer, and then loses a kidney?

Doctors were puzzled as to how he got leukaemia when there is no history of it in our family.

He did smoke and I noticed before he found out he had leukaemia, when he coughed his lungs sound like it is gurgling.
I told him he should stop smoking then!

Now, I had a blood test to see if we matched for stem cells etc. it took 6 weeks to do the testing, then found out we were not matched.

Found out a sibling (brother/sister) have only 25% (1 in 4) chance of being a match.
Low odds isn’t it?

Another thing he did different to me, he ate a lot of meat whereas I hardly do.
I think marijuana is a great thing, good medicinal uses and can make lots of amazing stuff with hemp.

But when young, overuse of it, smoking, eating meat every week, I tend to point to that.
He had high blood pressure too.
He is not overweight and has always done physical work.

This is really puzzling but I can’t work out what else it could be.

Maybe there is something else to it?

It does take a few factors involved to get to that stage perhaps?

There’s only one other way to get this leukaemia, and I accidentally stumbled on it, HIV.

I will leave it at that.

Very emotional meme, SK, but it's total BS. Let me dismantle it for you.

Firstly, children are only having very mild symptoms so it would actually be the child going to the supermarket to buy stuff for the parents.

But for the sake of the argument, lets take the image, as unlikely as it is at face value.

Child is sick and dad runs to the supermarket for supplies. The dad would also have been infected, so now he's gone shopping and spread it to others.

This pandemic has been coming down the pipe for months and anyone with half a brain stocked up weeks and weeks ago. Every Govt in the world is guilty of neglect for not telling people to stock up and prepare to isolate themselves.

There are limited amounts of respirators in hospitals so what will save lives is to do what's called 'flattening the curve'. That means people social distancing NOW and slowing the spread so less people get sick at once, which means a better ratio of respirators to patients.

Prepping for a pandemic is like steering an oil tanker. You have to take action way before you get there.

There's a big difference to being prepared and panicking. The people who WILL be panicking are those who were too lazy or stupid to prepare in time.

Yet Australian people gave their time, their effort, their money & some of them their life during the recent bushfires.

Nearly $100 million in donations plus food packages before Scomo had done anything.

How soon that is forgotten.
