The NRA sued LA regarding the closures.....which were perfectly reasonable. In lockdown with guns at home ? What could possibly go wrong....?! Shows the power of the NRA....not the first time they have sued LA either.

Chris Hipkins and His Educational Cluster Bomb Just 15 days ago Education Minister Chris Hipkins stated very publicly that schools, universities, polytechnics and early-childhood centres are “very, very safe places” to be, despite the coronavirus pandemic. A great deal has happened in the 15 days since he made that stupid statement. One of the worst clusters of COVID-19 infection is Marist College: The mother should be worried, but testing now won’t stop the community spread associated with this school. There are a large number of other variables. Forget school buses and trains. In the immediate vicinity of the school is the Westfield St Lukes shopping centre. What is the likelihood that teenage girls went there after school while infected? Then there is the New World on the corner. Did any students have part-time jobs there or at nearby Countdown? Did they go shopping there? Then there is the community swimming pool at the Mt Albert Aquatic Centre. And how many had boyfriends at neighbouring Mt Albert Grammar School? Indeed what about all the other schools that boyfriends go to? The BFD.The epicentre of a Hipkins Cluster Bomb Image credit: Xavier This Hipkins cluster bomb is going to go off. There are now literally thousands of people associated with connections to this school, their pupils and everywhere they’ve been and touched. It isn’t the students’ fault, they are teenagers after all and will do what teenagers do. They and their parents and teachers were told that schools were “very, very safe places to be” by Education Minister Chris Hipkins. If he was even half-decent he’d realise his tragic error and resign forthwith. He won’t, of course, so this cluster bomb is on him. Just fifteen days ago Chris Hipkins lied, and we now have a likely cluster bomb going off. -

RITA, or whatever they are called this week, have invested heavily in an intangible asset called information technology. That is accounting jargon for; "They are broke". As another poster here noted; they have invested heavily in boosting the number of TAB betting accounts. Whoopty do!! The huge investment in boosting the number of new TAB accounts comes with inadequate accounting systems to monitor the efficacy of those new accounts. When I was about 8 years old our stud groom chopped off a chook's head. I was astonished to see that headless chook run about. It seemed cruel to me, at that age. The RITA management brought that childhood memory to mind. -

My changes would be to close down all tracks except Invercargill, Christchurch Cambridge and Auckland. Each of the 3 codes reduce staff to the minimum required to administer racing. Rita closed with each code administrating their own area of responsibility. A joint commitee of 2 representatives from each code, chaired on a 3 year rotating basis by a person from one of the codes, i.e. Each code would have a 3 year appointment of the chairman. This committee would deal with all issues involving activites affecting all of the codes and would control the involvement of the TAB. The TAB would be managed by this committee. Funding distribution from the TAB would also be managed by this committee The RIA and the JCA would be shut down and each code would appoint a sufficient number of stipendiary stewards to police racing activities within their own juristiction. These stipendiary stewards would be controlled by a chief stipendiary steward who would report to the chief executive of each of the codes -

A lot of what Tassie says is true...and RITA costs include all Trackside related media which must be expensive Anyway you’re picking the bones of racing now, it’s hard to see how this epidemic won’t change the industry forever, and racing almost certainly won’t survive in its current form ....God only knows what the future holds, but it’s grim -

China’s coronavirus conspiracy: Wuhan residents tell of chilling death toll clue Wuhan residents believe up to 18 times the number of people died in their city from coronavirus than authorities are reporting. The seven funeral homes serving Wuhan have reportedly been running nonstop recently, prompting one resident to say “anyone with any ability to think” knows officials are lying about the death toll. Watch the video above China announced 2,535 deaths in Wuhan - the initial epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic - which was locked down for two months. But some locals believe the number is closer to 50,000. News website Caixin.com reported that 5,000 urns had been delivered by a supplier to the Hankou Funeral Home in just one day. “It can’t be right ... because the incinerators have been working round the clock, so how can so few people have died?” a Wuhan resident surnamed Zhang told Radio Free Asia. Some Wuhan residents believe almost 50,000 people died in their city from COVID-19. Credit: Barcroft Media/Barcroft Media via Getty Images A resident surnamed Gao said the city’s seven crematoriums should have a capacity of around 2,000 bodies a day if they work around the clock.“Anyone looking at that figure will realise, anyone with any ability to think,” Gao said. “What are they talking about [2,535] people?” “Seven crematoriums could get through more than that [in a single day].” More on 7NEWS.com.au Infected crew rushed off Ruby Princess cruise ship What quarantined travellers are complaining about Inside the Aussie hospital ward dedicated to coronavirus Some people estimate 46,800 COVID-19 victims will have been cremated, based on the capacity of the funeral homes. Buying silence Residents say city officials have been buying their silence with 3,000 yuan ($685) cash handouts in “funeral allowances” to make sure cremations are completed by the grave-tending festival of Qing Ming on April 5. “It’s to stop them keening [a traditional expression of grief]; nobody’s allowed to keen after Qing Ming has passed,” Wuhan local Chen Yaohui said. Another resident, Hu Aizhen, lost his mother to COVID-19 and said nobody in the city believes the official death toll. Testing for coronavirus. Credit: AP “The official number of deaths was 2,500 people ... but before the epidemic began, the city’s crematoriums typically cremated around 220 people a day,” Aizhen said. “But during the epidemic, they transferred cremation workers from around China to Wuhan keep cremating bodies around the clock.” Stamping out second wave Mainland China has reported a drop in new coronavirus cases for the fourth consecutive day as Beijing seeks to stamp out the risk of a second wave of infections by shutting its borders to foreign travellers and cutting international flights. China's return of expatriates had sparked fears of a second wave of coronavirus infections.Credit: AP The National Health Commission said on Monday that 31 new coronavirus cases were recorded on Sunday, including one locally transmitted infection, dropping from 45 cases a day earlier. Four new deaths were reported, taking the cumulative, reported death toll in the mainland to 3304, from 81,470 infections. The number of new infections has fallen sharply in the mainland from the peak in February. Reopen for business The government is now exhorting businesses and factories to reopen for business as it rolls out various stimulus to drive a recovery from what many now expect to be an outright economic contraction in January-March. Chinese President Xi Jinping said the government would adjust support policies for small and medium-sized firms promptly as the situation developed to protect them from the impact of the coronavirus. Chinese citizens move about during the coronavirus pandemic. Credit: AP Chinese firms should actively resume operations and production even as coronavirus prevention efforts continue, Xi also said during a Sunday visit to Ningbo, a major port city in eastern Zhejiang province, according to state media. No new Hubei cases Hubei province, where the coronavirus outbreak first emerged in late 2019, reported no new cases for the sixth consecutive day on Sunday after the province of 60 million people lifted its traffic restrictions and resumed some domestic flights. Beijing remains worried about the risk of a second wave of the epidemic triggered by cases involving travellers coming to China who were infected overseas. The virus has now spread globally, infecting hundreds of thousands outside China’s borders. China has barred foreigners from entering the country and ordered airlines to slash the number of international flights into the country. The vast majority of the so-called imported cases reported to date have been Chinese nationals, many of whom are students.
