Formula One’s governing body, the FIA has confirmed that the sport agreed to delay the technical regulation overhaul for 2021 until 2022 due to the ongoing coronavirus crises.
What I don't understand is how come they seemed fine before they left, yet suddenly when they land they're all showing suspicious simptoms? Those mechacnics and engineers are all young and fit people and I don't think they would act neglicenty coming over if they were sick.

Isn't it the same everywhere? People are putting it down as "not worse than the flu", thus not taking it serious. I have various work colleagues who are coughing while making stupid jokes about it - especially younger people who are not in an associated risk group and simply are not taking this serious. There's also an attitude in my country by many that what is happening in China and now in Italy will not happen here because well, "we're better than anyway else, we've survived worse etc" and attributing what is happening in Italy to a health-care-system that is supposedly worse.
Wow! It really tends to spike once it hits 100 cases in a country.nzjrs wrote:Welcome to the curve Australia. How special are you feeling? Will 'Australia be different'?

What percentage of healthcare workers do you think have children that need to be supervised? I'm guessing you believe the figure is close to 0? I think it's higher than that and that there aren't an infinite number of healthcare staff so, yeah, I do believe that.
I think there's a significant difference between Greenland and Singapore, or Italy and the DRC. Population density, information dissemination tools, local culture and healthcare provision will all play a significant role (see the recent Ebola outbreaks as an example).
I understand, but given the severity of the situation HAAS mechanics coming from italy should have been exta diligent in how they handle themselves during this time. Timeframe is what strikes me as odd. Surely some of those guys were showing simptoms (if real, lets not forget nothing is confirmed yet) prior to boarding a plane in italy, and also while disembarking in australia, but apparently not? Now when they got to track itself they're all feeling weird and under the weather?Phil wrote: ↑12 Mar 2020, 11:47Isn't it the same everywhere?

At what point do you start to react? Would you stay home if you only exhibited a cough?
People are potential carriers way before they are actually exhibiting symptoms.
My posts were a play in 3 acts. If we all sit there on our thumbs 'its just a cold', then we all follow the curve because the innate dynamics of the virus will dominate (as it did with Ebola, nice and deadly that one). The countries that have managed to bend the curve have taken suppression of transmission seriously.Wynters wrote: ↑12 Mar 2020, 11:53I think there's a significant difference between Greenland and Singapore, or Italy and the DRC.

This is how it goes isn't it? One person gets it, in a team they obviously infect some others, by the time symptoms develop they've flown off somewhere, then a day or two later the next few develop symptoms, and meanwhile... on and onJuzh wrote: ↑12 Mar 2020, 11:40What I don't understand is how come they seemed fine before they left, yet suddenly when they land they're all showing suspicious simptoms?

But the question is how long can they suppress it for? You can't stay off work and isolate for ever. There is talk of China lifting these restrictions and it is predicted there will be a massive spike of cases in the 2nd wave of the virus.nzjrs wrote: ↑12 Mar 2020, 12:02My post was a play in 3 acts.
