World News – UA – Queensland Health torched for AFL post

A simple health message to the general public missed the mark with social media users going for the blunder

AFL: Richmond Tigers don’t care about conditions for AFL grand final this weekend

Queensland became the saving grace of the AFL in 2020 and was rightly awarded with a historic grand finale

The highly anticipated competition between Richmond and Geelong will mark the first time that the big game has taken place outside Victoria

But a simple article showed that despite foot-and-mouth disease slowly taking its toll on sunshine, there is still a lot of work to be done

As fans across the country prepare to tune in and watch the biggest game of the year, health rules will be in place thanks to the coronavirus

Social distancing has become a part of our daily life in 2020 and in an attempt to show how best to measure the proper distance between you and others, Queensland Health has tried to capture the flavor of the day

In an attempt to capitalize on the hype of the AFL Grand Final, they decided to use soccer balls as a measuring stick

« How do you visualize 15m? Today we use around 3 AFL balls When it comes to social distancing, whatever you visualize, what matters most is that you keep 15 m distance from others ”, we read in the Facebook post

Facebook users were quick to report that the measurements Queensland Health used were not even close to measuring the necessary 15m measurements

« Whaaaaaaaat? A soccer ball measures 11 to 12 inches, 30 cm maximum 15m it is FIVE balls Please if you cannot give good information, close it rather than giving bad information « , wrote Rebecca Appleton

« It makes sense to take the wrong measurement because it’s the only sport that gives you a point for being close enough », commented Amanda Mac

« Gunna’s players have sore legs tomorrow throwing a 50cm ball for a few hours, » Dale Morgan Burt wrote

Now we could potentially forgive them for the blunder, especially if they used this photo of former AFL boss Wayne Jackson

Richmond and Geelong will see the horns in a historic grand final at Gabba tonight with the match starting at 7:30 p.m. (AEDT)
