Our body temp is recorded to one decimal place and is a relatively low value as well so it needs to be accurate. 0 point 1 or 2 is a significant difference in in our body temperature. There are also 'in ear' probes that use a disposable plastic sheath that you toss out after each person has been read. I understand that every dollar counts but sometimes it does pay to get the right tool for the job.....https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/68465/omron-th839s-ear-thermometer Ear thermometer would be better, much more accurate for this job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 28March, 2020 Report Share Posted 28March, 2020 @jakroo Thanks mate. After my excitement of finding a temp gauge, and us both trying it out this evening a few times and Googling body temps, we're lead to believe that we're both in danger of being hypothermic as we sit here in shorts and tee shirts, so I'd say there is a distinct possibility you could be right 😁 @901er That seems to be the go. Thanks @wilson59 Ta mate, will look into it with one eye asap 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 4April, 2020 Report Share Posted 4April, 2020 Seems like just a few days ago posted it went past 100k. Well past 1m infections now. conversely Im less worried about it than when it was 100k. Redracn and micknine01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troubleshooter Posted 4April, 2020 Report Share Posted 4April, 2020 Went past 100k around 5th March - 2.5k deaths then (if one believes the figures) …. No one really has any idea of the approximate numbers of each, now or then … but we have to calculate and graph it somehow so the general figures will have to do.

sleazius Posted 4April, 2020 Report Share Posted 4April, 2020 Safe to say that you don't shut down 2/3 of China for 80000 infections. But as you say, its all we've got to go off so better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick V Posted 11April, 2020 Report Share Posted 11April, 2020 HAPPY EASTER fellow PFAers. In this current iso-life it’s good to be able to burn a few hours here & there reading all the threads and hearing how fellow Pcar enthusiasts are dealing with the lack of driving our machines as they were intended. Hell, my wife has even stopped nagging me for being on here regularly. I agree with some comments, disagree with others, and some ....well I just couldn’t give a stuff about, but it usually keeps me entertained during this semi-lockdown, so thanks to all contributors. No sport, pubs, eating out, or destination-less fangs through the hills......it could be a long winter, so please keep the content coming. Stay safe 👍 3legs, hugh, sleazius and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 12April, 2020 Report Share Posted 12April, 2020 Talking to someone who works for a retail brand. Furloughed entire retail store staff until further notice. Fired 25% of head office staff and the rest took a 10% pay cut. They forecast even if they reopen soon it will take 18-24 months to get sales back and likely some retail stores will never open again. firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only got 5 locations and if things don't get moving again I'll probably permanently shut 2 of them after this and just deliver those services online. Depending on how long the rest of retail is shutdown it might take a decade before it recovers if at all. The way people get things has changed. People may also realise they don't need all the crap they buy, permanently lowering consumption to some extent. Glad I got out of Westfield years ago.

firstone Posted 12April, 2020 Report Share Posted 12April, 2020 It is looking bleak for retail. China's return to action has largely been through delivery logistics certifying clean handling. So a seeming trustworthy source for goods. The lockdown strategies seem to have really worked well in Australia. Ozzys essentially quick to get it. The unlock strategies will be just as important and I'm sure we'll follow best practices viewed worldwide. Might be very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sensational headline “banned from visiting cemeteries” and “fined for laying flowers”, nonsense. Read the story - noone has been fined for “laying flowers” rather for not adhering to distancing rules. And there is no ban. Fines, if any have been issued as claimed, may be withdrawn if the law is found to have been adhered to.https://www.9news.com.au/national/mourners-banned-from-visiting-melbourne-cemeteries-coronavirus/631b8f7a-27d1-41d4-864f-8b5feea51904 firstone, LeeM, Carrera28 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 13April, 2020 Report Share Posted 13April, 2020 I read another story which is obviously just the media hyping it up again @DJM I would challenge any fines, as I thought it usually has to be passed through the government channels to be voted in or out over time, so in effect it's not actually a written 'law'. Just because a cop hands you a fine doesn't mean you can't contest it to challenge its validity. And I'm not cop bashing here, as they're just doing their job, yet some do need to remove the jack boots they proudly wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an age I decided I needed to make from a very young age as my dad died at 49 of a heart attack... As it would be deemed non essential travel I didn't risk it!

Its awful that your father passed at such a young age, you can visit he's grave as long as you exercise social distancing guidelines. I think this was further clarified yesterday in the media. It would Vicpol have done a very average job of instructing the members on how to conduct themselves to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
