That's just a reflection of their ladder position.
It appears the F1 will continue this weekend, with no spectators. Hopefully most of the drivers remain to participate.

One of my staff flew over on the red eye to Melbourne this morning for a boys weekend at F1.
Expensive trip to watch it on tellyWell to avoid the virus spreading among crowds, spectators like him can now crowd into pubs to watch it...

Chinese wear them in the belief they stop getting germs.
that's literally the opposite of how it was explained to me in China last year, when i saw heaps of people wearing masks.

Chatted to a couple Danish blokes last night who flew over for it, they were taking video of the pub saying its crazy how full this is compared to Denmark where everything is shut down. Considering European support of the F1 they probably should have canned this one a week ago, bound to be infection increases in Melbourne in the next few days.

Wales v Scotland is still on
Nothing to lose.
No cases = match played
Loads of cases = match played and two weeks off work.
If Carlsberg did rugby Tests...

That would've been a Japanese tourist group unless they were yelling, pushing in front of orderly queues and spitting everywhere.

Really hope they look at doing games without crowds and just enough staff to televise and report, gotta keep the fans at home occupied/distracted with something positive.
There is a 'life must go on' element to all this too.
If you listen to the medical gurus, the best thing to do is to basically shut society down for a month. But can we really afford to do that? Do we want to?
There's a fundamental balance at the heart of humanity here. We are willing to risk death and injury to do fun things - drink alcohol, jump out of planes, play contact sports etc.
No doubt this disease is very serious but ordering us all to sit in our houses for a month fixes one problem but creates a whole lot more.

F1 cancelled.
-
Austria closing down as I type.
They came in the night...

we've sort of been prepping for this scenario. My biggest concern is if you grind everything to a halt for that long, how long does it take for the wheels to start turning again after? does 1 month of no business easily slip in to 2? Who can survive that?

oh god, Chinese New Year at our most Chinese-intensive park really is an eye opener for a lot of people.

Very few companies these days with thin margins and sizeable debt.
Meanwhile the ASX continues its decline. Down ~30% from peak.

Everyone will be taking a wide berth around the Italian teams....
