NO matter how many times I watch every TV “virus” episode or how many newspapers I read giving us countless information, I now know to wash my hands for 30 sec but there’s been no information on whether once you’ve had the virus … can you catch it again? Basil, Mudgeeraba

The NZ Warriors NRL team should go home amid the NZ coronavirus no-go laws, cos they might @ least draw a game or 2 by default! I know, I know, but I couldn’t resist it.

Seeing too much poor hygiene in on TV. It’s disgusting how it goes on repeatedly. Too many incidents to list here, but the worst example is brushing bare hand over head of hair, then using the hand in preparation of food (especially mincing/mixing ingredients in a bowl). Big O

I’m thinking “drug dealers” will make sure they have “plenty of stock” on hand for when their % of the 6.5 million recipients get their $750 coronavirus payments. Giddy up horsies, woo hoo!

Anyone living on a houseboat in our Broadwater should be made to produce a receipt to show that they have used a registered sewerage pump out facility. How can the authorities promote and encourage the use of this asset knowing what is happening? A.L. Bama

Why should taxpayers bail out companies with a turnover of hundreds of millions? It was their choice to give profits away as dividends. They had the chance to leave profits in the company for emergencies and did not. Bad business choices should not be taxpayers’ responsibility.

With one of Australia’s most respected constitutional experts (Professor Anne Twomey) saying the sport grants were illegal we now wait to see how honest Morrison is by putting the minister responsible before the court to explain her illegal behaviour. Or was the “no one is above the law” statement by Morrison only for average Australians.

Why would we sneeze into our elbows then do the new elbow tap instead of handshaking. Contamination.

Now half a million people who need regular medical treatment can’t get it, because 10 million perfectly well people have panicked. My local clinic can no longer be contacted by phone at all, due to a massive, constant overload of calls. I can’t even make an appointment. We need a 24 hour news ban to calm people down. Bruce C.

Woolies dedicate an extra hour for the aged to shop, they failed to say they upped the price of everything in their stores. PRICE GOUGERS!

What a dumb country, we now have people arriving in Australia being placed in isolation for 14 days, yet big cargo ships crews are simply allowed to come ashore to do some shopping or sightseeing and mingle with the public in general, yet aren’t required to have any medical checks. This country is wide open for a potential health disaster. KenW.

So the NRL is crying poor. Well make it that no player gets any more than $500,000. After all that’s getting close to what the PM gets. Barney

What the? NRL can get stuffed if they want taxpayer funding. Just stop the season. Make the fat cat CEOs do some work for their fat salaries! Union, cricket, AFL, netball, etc will want handouts too. No way!

Already “scammers” R waiting at their keyboards ready 2 take the “CVS Payments”. I’m betting that $millions will B taken due 2 the lack of knowledge & commonsense of most users of Technology. Old Codja

Why in these unprecedented economic times are the world sharemarkets not suspended? Pedro

Another person on Chatroom having a shot at the Gov $750 help. For goodness sake, accept it and put it to good use. People complain if they don’t get something, then complain if they do. Be grateful. Gran

The term “Glitter Strip” is so cheesy. Does anyone really say “I live on the glitter strip”?

Who still does not believe there is a Devil in this world? This has been the greatest Satanic attack on mankind since Adam and Eve. If you don’t, you are in denial. Zodiac

What a bargain! What a country! I am so lucky I got a piece of fish for $65.00 a kilo.

There could be a huge risk to all “parliamentary discussions” if all MPs are forced to stay away from “the big top” and only link via internet. Certainly, hackers would manage to spread another virus and leak info globally. B. O.

Don’t believe the Woolworths special catalogue, “toothpaste” half price $3.50. Have you ever seen it at $7 normal price? Someone should do something about this … it’s price gouging.

Interesting the different reactions in response to the coronavirus between AFL and NRL. One’s looking at all options including hiring planes and talking to accommodation places.
