I just got the email from Membership as an interstate ACT member.
Tickets are free through a ballot for ACT/NSW members and limited in number.
Given the way we are playing, I think I will give the 3 hrs drive up the highway a miss this time around.

I didn’t directly bash Sidebottom.
Who’s dying exactly. 105 people out of about 8 thousand who have had it in Australia. All 105 where mainly old and would of died this year of the flu possibly and most of the others had other underlying health issues. So don’t spread hysterical exaggerated rubbish. |
Just a couple of points.
1. The NSW border is open until midnight according to current media reports.
2. We don't know how many people have died from covid as the figure is not published. 105 are reported to have died with covid which means that they had it when they died, not that it caused or contributed to the death. The "died of covid" figure is apparently not known. |
Whilst last year 900 people died from the flu and over 300,000 got it in Australia. At least those numbers will be well down this year! |

And that's a really smart comparison, because we social distance, cancel public gatherings, close state borders and go into lockdown every year for the flu...
If you want to actually compare numbers with comprable data variables, the US is the only country to look at because they were the only ones too stupid to act on it.
So they've basically done no lockdown (Besides a 2 week half arsed attempt before getting bored) and are about to clock over 140,000 deaths in less than half a year (first death end of Feb)
Their usual flu death rate is approx 30-35k per year.
So over 4x the deaths in less than 5 months, has COVID tracking AT LEAST 10 times more deadly than the flu.
But don't let facts get in the way because its super cool to just throw numbers around out of context and say 105 from this compared to 900 of these when the variables are polar opposites.
You might as well be saying I'm a better cricketer than Bradman because I once made 723* in Mum's backyard whilst Bradman's highest test score was 334.

| Hope you get slapped with the max fine and make the mews, Adz. You’re a bloody idiot and a disgrace to the Collingwood supporter community. You’re also very lucky I don’t have personal details because I’ve called the hotline. Mods, I’ll send you an email detailing what’s going to happen. I doubt anyone will contact you, but be prepared, |

That's BS.
Bradman made 725 not out in his mum's backyard.
You should've turned a couple of those singles into two's, or told your little sister to stop bowling down leg to a defensive field. |

haha!! Exactly, which proves my point, Bradman was actually a slightly better cricketer than me when the variables are the same...
That whole comment was to highlight the idiocy of comparing figures of completely different variables through comparing a high score in backyard cricket to test cricket, which is what idiots are doing when they try to collate regular flu figures with Covid figures after social distancing, no public gatherings, no sport, lockdowns, etc. |

You don't have to explain the comment to me it's obvious enough.
We are a bit different to the USA because we aren't as bad as them (yet) with the obesity related medical issues which put you at greatest risk from covid. It's basically with some exceptions a disease that preys on the unhealthy and does serious damage to those on some sorts of blood pressure medication. |

More likely you posted that whilst drinking your coffee at a cafe in Burgundy Street. |

What exactly did Adz do wrong for you to be so extreme?
He went to NSW while borders were open. Nothing wrong with that provided he isn't sick or knowingly is COVID positive. |

Are you claiming credit for that? |

Lol, the people who tested positive had visited Melbourne themselves.
I can’t believe how outraged Adz has got some of you lot, it’s funny. |

Not at all.
