What SHOULD have woken you up ?
by Phizzy infor myself, there is an embarrassingly long list of things that really should really have woken me up, fully.
it was a long process for me, as a mind controlled born in, things i simply did not agree with, or knew were downright wrong, that built and built, and, eventually i woke up, after 58 bloody years in !.
but just mainly for fun, what should have woken you up ?.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Here in Australia, Simon, with due respect, they have been peak level. And this is before Covid-19.
Ambulances in most states ramp up outside hospitals and have been doing so for months. Ambulance crews have been with patients in corridors for hours as well awaiting assessment by hospital staff.
Ambulance and hospital staff are working ridiculous hours.
There is currently a call for all retired medical professionals of all disciplines to come back to assist with what promises to be a major overload of our health system in Australia. This is beyond our current overload.
2+2=5 has stated the situation here succinctly.

Hi all.
I wanted to post this somewhere that all could see it.
Here is a letter being circulated in Melbourne Australia area.
COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear friends, the local body of elders have agreed on the following actions in relation to today’s announcement.
Theocratic Events
At this stage congregation meetings will continue to run as normal. No publisher should feel obligated to attend congregation meetings at this time if they feel concerned or anxious about doing so. Please be assured, you are not being unfaithful for taking such precautions. If you choose not to physically attend our meetings at this time please take advantage of the dial in and video conferencing facilities. Please call your group overseer if you need assistance with the Zoom app.
Memorial Arrangements
In view of the accelerating risk of COVID-19 transmission. We will not invite the general public to the memorial. We may invite family members and friends only. However there will be strict Hygiene requirements that all will be required to adhere to, prior, during, and after the memorial commemoration. Please prepare your friends and family for this so as to protect themselves and all those who attend. (Phil 2:4) “look out for others”.
Field Service
Effective immediately and until further notice we will not continue going from door to door nor be in close proximity to the general community. Our weekly field service groups will still proceed as we are currently arranging alternative field service provisions. More details will follow very soon.
We understand this may impact those who have chosen to Regular or Auxiliary pioneer. Rest assured that those taking the lead understand your situation. We serve a happy and reasonable god, so keep doing your best and Jehovah will do the rest.
The current global pandemic reminds us of the description of the ride of the fourth horseman in Revelation chapter 6, which includes mention of “deadly plague.” These events strengthen our faith that we are living in the final part of the last days.
More than ever, it is vital that we do not panic, but demonstrate faith by “keeping calm and showing trust” in Jehovah. (Isa. 30:15)
If you have any questions or concerns in regard to these adjustments please speak to one of the elders.End of letter.
In addition to this, today, all circuit overseers have been advised that no visits will be conducted for the next two months.
The co's have been advised to attend a cong of their choice if they want to in the interim. As it happens, many of the co's are in the high risk area.
All circus assemblies have been cancelled for two months at this time.

Thanks for the early heads up Atlantis and Petra !!
Here in Melbourne Australia.
A circuit assembly at the Melton assembly hall scheduled for saturday was cancelled friday.
An elders school saturday in the west of Melbourne was cancelled friday.
All distribution of memorial invitations has been put on hold till further notice.
Field circus, however, is still continuing. Isn't that dumb ??

Thank you slimboyfat.
I agree, now that I've tried your suggestion. The Hopkins was the first site I spotted at the time.

I posted this elsewhere and thought it might be useful here for the global picture.
It's from the John Hopkins University, real time updates.

Interesting thing here in Melbourne Australia,
8 members of the f1 teams, (Haas and Maclaren) have shown symptoms and been quarantined in their hotel rooms awaiting results.
Louis Hamilton has expressed concern about being here and was quoted "it's all about the cash"
I think we are over a hundred cases in Oz. In fact NSW had an increase of 12 overnight to total of 75.
It's on the move here. West of melbourne has not had a case yet but it's just a matter of time.
jtg
P.S. We have also had our first person to person spread from those who have not travelled. Majority of cases have all been from travellers. A doctor who travelled had seen 70 patients before he tested positive. He didn't even feel that sick at all. It was Missy Higgins dad.
Hope this link to John Hopkins live global update works. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
