Listen to the medical experts regarding Covid-19. Stay reasonably healthy if possible. Please only spread the love in these trying times.

Can someone inform me how a country like China which is highly populated and congested can start to show a slow down in new cases and back to life as normal with only a very small percentage of its 1.4 billion people and a country like Australia which has good hygiene etc expect to have 50% of the population infected? Other countries in the same climate zone as China have already had more cases when compared to population. Just doesn’t add up!

So after years of complaints and calling for changes to the Youth Justice Act the Government finally does something – just before an election. How typical of politician­s. Only acting in their own self interest when it looks like they’ll be booted out. And what’s to stop them changing it back afterwards?

So the ALP Govt rabble will make more amendments to the kiddie bail laws. Rather than more hasty, ill considered changes, the whole Youth Justice Act S48 mess should be rewritten. Unfortunat­ely, they will follow their usual hasty methodolog­y and just muddy the waters further. Thank God for the coming election.

Just received in my letterbox a flyer “introducin­g” Maurie Soars as my local councillor. Mate, if you’ve made no effort to make my acquaintan­ce over the past council term it’s a bit bloody late now.

JJ Wulguru. Diet’s fine. Having a job that takes you away from home from 6 to 3 and a son at school means minimum usage as business is done out of the home. Be safe everyone. TREVOR ELSON MUNDINGBUR­RA

Corona virus eh....the three blind mice finally have an excuse to not be seen out doing anything for our community.

A huge wake up call has arrived for the world. Mother Nature has thrown out the gauntlet and she is showing her control. Now, more than ever, you really need the people on the land to supply you with substantia­l food to survive. Panic has set in and will continue. Just relax and think of others for once.

Tried to take advantage of the Wed 7am shopping for oldies and get a few essentials we’ve been denied over several weeks by greedy shoppers & equally greedy supermarke­ts. What a sham! As one of the first 10 shoppers through the door, we were allowed one pack of 4 toilet rolls... then the stock ran out, therefore Coles Willows had a total stock at 7am of 10 four-packs!

GEO CONDON

Well said Ralph West End my daughter asked if we see any toilet paper could we get some for her. We took our just delivered Yellow Pages and advised we found some toilet paper for her.

Laughs all around. But that is what was used in times gone.

JH BEL GDNS... oh my Phillip Thompson speaks more to his constituen­ts than any other politician. Open your eyes and ears please. JJ4814

Just as video killed the radio star coronaviru­s killed climate change.

It’s bizarre that while most of the planet is going into lockdown to reduce the spread of COVID-19, NRL clubs are screaming they’ll go out of business if play doesn’t continue. Here’s a thought: use some of the millions being paid to the players to prop the club up during the coming months. So what if the 2020 Grand Final isn’t played until early 2021? The financial year straddles calendar years so what’s the big deal if a footy season does?
