Wow, good to see such gratitude for someone taking the time to post that info. You could have just said nothing at all, but you had to make that point eh? Wasn't it you that said you don't respond to rude or disrespectful posts? You don't mind posting them in that way though, even to someone with whom you have no beef, yet. (certainly I expect you to be rude, disrespectful, or whatever else to me, along with your tag team buddy).
Leaving myself out of the equation, it would be good if you showed a bit of respect to some of the other posters in this thread. If you couldn't be bothered reading the info - no worries - don't, but you really don't have to keep up a running commentary on what you think might be a bit too much for you to stomach.
Seems to me that this thread is not being moderated.

The Dept of public health is throwing everything at this. They have an army of folks especially to handle the data and modelling/projections ranging from doctors, epidemiologists, 3D Data visualisers, mathematical modellers, database people, programmers and various other IT guys, supercomputers, and couple of partridges in pear trees. They should also have the full medical records of each patient, demographic data, ties and dates, severity, symptoms, underlaying causes, etc They'll be the ones plot out the death curves etc under various scenarios.
Folks are entitled to play with any available data as much as they like so don't let this put you off

I think its time everyone took a deep breath of fresh air and get back to their work benches and do something constructive, this thread is starting to become as toxic as the virus

Coles security tapes, now mostly hi-res, should have all the evidence that you need.
The local Coles manager may be concerned that a serious assault occured on his premises, that the police did nothing, and there is a risk that the perpetrator may return and assault other customers or his staff.

Thanks - I have been considering going there tomorrow to see what they have. I have to wonder if it would be a total waste of time since the police were so unenthusistic about doing anything. I have a strong suspicion from my interaction with the two police there today that they know who she is and she is a protected species of some kind.
I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

How wide are the isles in your local Coles? In my local Coles, the isles are wide enough for two trolleys plus a bit. If they weren't that wide, there's no way of maintaining two-way traffic in the isle.
So were you and Jules really "pulled over to the side" of the isle -- which would leave more than enough room for the woman to pass you both -- or were you at least partially blocking the isle?
Not that spitting in anyone's face is acceptable, it clearly is assault. However, I doubt if Coles' store manager will let you get the evidence you need from their security tapes. At a minimum you would probably need the police with you when you ask.
I can see the Police thinking ...
the isles in Coles are wide enough for two trolleys to pass.
you and Jools had a trolley and the woman did not.
the woman could easily pass you but did not.
ergo "you and Jools" were "blocking" the isle with your trolley and bodies -- evidence the "woman" had to "make forceful contact" to get past you both.
Given the above, I can also see why the Police declined to take action -- apart from the "she spat on me", "no I didn't" arguement -- you were both equally at fault.
I think the police response is described as "discretion"regards from Alberta, Canada

Thank you Neil and a special shout out to Bill and Melinda Gates and their foundation.
some comments on the attached file
the modelling might only be a week old, but it is now well out of date -- no one should be overly surprised about that this early in the pandemic.
the range of expected cases and number of deaths is very large -- 95% confidence that the estimated number of beds required ranges from a low of 7,977 (nothing to worry about) to a high of 251,059 (that's well beyond "holly f**king s**t"). BTW, that's a 31 times difference in expected bed demand.
ICU bed demand is similarly spread out -- 95% confidence that the peak ICU bed demand ranges from the easily managed 2,432 through to 57,955. BTW, that's around a 23 times difference in demand for ICU beds.
Peak ventilator use is not as spread out -- 95% confidence that the expected range is 9,767 to 39,674. That's only a factor of about 4.
Major caveat
No one at this stage has a handle on how many people have been exposed to the virus that causes the Covid-19 decease.
It will take post outbreak blood serum testing to get a handle on the approximate number of people exposed to the virus.regards from Alberta, Canada

Ian, you were not there. You have no idea about the actual particulars of the incident and layout of the store and your speculation is well wide of the mark.
Don't bother asking me to elaborate because I am not going to waste the time and effort to explaining it to someone who has absolutely no ability to influence the outcome in any way. End of story. Find someone else to entertain you.I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

research ahh yes research, proves everything.
Some years ago one of the Adelaide Unis proved that supermarket/deli meat pies were the most nutritional thing you could possibly eat.....simply by crunching the information they had and using what they wanted to their advantage...some drongos actually believed it and stocked up on meat pies.I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds
