Working on a building site at the moment is not fun, especially when you are in charge of Health and Safety. We have up to 80 guys on site a day and keeping them apart is a pain, i find its the younger ones that do not respect the separation between people. I go home each night to a family that is in isolation and shower straight away, feels as though I am leading two lives at the moment.

It won't be long before the site's shut down if people don't follow simple instructions.

Why is it spreading?

Yeah, 200 doesn't sound like many in the scheme of things, altho if the spread isn't pulled up, that will grow.
 :(
14,000 roughly, about 15% on leave at any time and quite a large number on sick leave WorkCover etc, leaves about 10,000. So 200 is a fair chunk.
The equivalent of a few outer Metro police stations.

just announced in Qld, schools to be "student free" from Monday, although it seems essential workers can still send the kids to school, and it appears "essential workers" means anyone with a job? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-26/coronavirus-queensland-schools-to-be-student-free/12086568

Arrest them

Yep, they should be arrested & isolated for 2 weeks by being locked up somewhere. If that's a motel room, rather than a cell, then fine >:(

Imagine Aussie workers being told to do the same in an overseas country?  “Yeah, but I want overtime to do that” or maybe “nah, f**k that, not in my job description”

Yeah, fancy that, comes as a real surprise,  not ..  Customs allowing it to be shipped and not asking questions in the current climate .. Someone must have doctored the paperwork or been paid well Huh .. My opinion of course ..

Yet the advert on tv said hand sanitizer would be on hand at station.  It did say to take own pencil though.

Once again we are seeing information that is wrong, complete bullShit, hypocritical and given out by govts that seem to be making rules/laws up on the run...30 minute haircut anyone?  Its ok,   its an essential service..FFS!!   HANGON ...WHATS AN ESSENTIAL SERICE Scotty from Advertising?...ANYONE WHO DRIVES TO WORK!!!    Unbelievable..

Going to be different at each booth I'm sure.
I voted yesterday and got pumped with hand sanitizer twice.

Only 2 people allowed inside the room at a time (1 person registering at the counter and 1 person voting in the booth).
Everyone else spaced more then 1m apart on the foot path starting from the marker that was 2m from the doorway.
The hand sanitizer nazi was strictly enforcing the 1m gap between people in the que. I almost felt like a naughty kid as I whispered to the guy in line behind me....

I commented that is was going to be a big day on polling day if they only let 1 person in at a time.
The hand sanitizer nazi didn't think that was very funny..... >:(

Just got an email from the school, no formal classes from Monday. Any kid that turns up next week will herded into the school hall first, then broken into activity groups for the day. All kids are to clean out their lockers tomorrow in case they don't go back after the Easter holidays, and all "lessons" for the next week will be activities emailed to the kids to do online.

Well as of 11.59pm tonight, we are in complete lockdown in the community.

We cannot leave and if we do we would need to self isolate for 14 days.

This includes everyone in the community.

What a bummer.....
