Son tells me that this morning someone turned up to work that has been also working at the Australian Open. When he asked why are you here the reply was Tennis Australia said we were clear to go to work. Less than 1/2 hour later she got a text message telling her to get a covid test and isolate until she gets a result. Now if this was correct why is Tennis Australia clearing people to go about their business and then those involved with covid saying something completely different.

It sounds like they don't have a formal management plan to manage it. The cynic in me also thinks that they don't want to give those types of directions as people would be looking to be reimbursed by them for any lost income. Much easier to hang back and let the government give the directions

Yup, family has all been tested this morning as the wife was at an identified tier 1 location. She has to isolate for 14 days regardless of test result, we have to isolate until a negative result.

How does that logic work? If they think she could still up until 14 days doesn't that mean that the rest of you could be passing it on after the negative result? Not having a go at you but fair dinkum there are holes in how these things are being managed at the moment.

On second thought not sure why I expected anything different  ::)

Agreed the logic is a bit odd. There actually wasn't a requirement for household members to get tested, we just did it as a precaution, hence we only need to quarantine until negative result just like anybody else getting a test.

Smart move to be tested anyway since its so simple, but also agree, its strange/doesnt add up...


1pm we get the bad news.

Five-day lockdown confirmed for Melbourne, Premier to speak shortly

here we go again

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/what-the-new-coronavirus-rules-mean-for-victorians-20210212-p571x4.html


Under the stage four lockdown restrictions to come into force at midnight tonight there will only be four reasons for Victorians to leave home: shopping for essential items, essential work, permitted education that cannot be done from home and exercise for up to two hours a day with people from your household.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has just listed some other restrictions:

    You must stay within 5km of your home other than for permitted work
    Masks are mandatory everywhere in Victoria
    No visitors to anyone’s home
    Public gatherings not permitted at all
    Schools will close but will remain open for vulnerable children or children of essential workers
    Religious gatherings and ceremonies are not permitted.
    Funerals can involve no more than 10 people.
    Hospitality will move to take away only

Child care and early childhood centres will remain open.

Unfortunately this was always going to happen. And will probably happen again. You just can't tell where and when.

we have a 24 pack in the shed in the case of a lockdown.

Maybe, another 24 pack in the bathroom.

We also keep some soups and 2 minute noodles as well.
(not for lock downs, they're because we're broke)

But we do have a wicked new ride-on lawn tractor.

Had to go to the supermarket 1 hour after the announcement. Drove into the car park,  its full. Walked into the supermarket and people everywhere. Guess what is in 80% of trolleys. If you guessed toilet paper your right. How full of s**t must these people be. Got into line for the checkout, was the length of the store plus. A KAREN a bit in front of me started abusing the staff for taking so long to get her to the checkout. And she wasn't wearing a mask either. She could see how long the line was when she got in it. I would have told her to pass off and shop elsewhere.

agree...
Cammo had almost given up.. Agencies, jobs, dropping off resumes, driving back streets of Dande looking at factories that have boards out front, applied for 100's of jobs on seek from Shit kicker to apprenticeships (only having auto license doesn't help)- got 2 replies in months. totally demorailzed.

The Bloke in coffee shop next to work (industrial area in Nunawading/Blackburn) doesnt qualify for jobkeeper/seeker what ever to pay his staff and keep them on  and  with all the factories around us now closing again, he says he wont survive this time.

Yes. I have my boy collecting tickets as he goes so he can hopefully get a start when things pick up. If we didn’t fund it for him, it would be a real struggle.

All results back - negative. Only took 12 hours but we were classified as P1 due to the tier 1 site exposure. Missus has to now self isolate for 14 days, son and myself and free to go out, oh wait  :'(
