How to cope with the corona virus ..facts- not fiction.

[alnjan]

I guess you could pick specific states in the US and say it will be fine, or just look at world figures in general...

Anyway, I thought everyone learned at primary school... all you have to do is touch a girl, or touch something a girl has touched, to get girl germs.. Just think of it the same way

That's why some know not to touch the 'girl' while others don't want to learn.

I thought that was a story perpetrated by the girls parents to keep the boys mitts off her ??

Masks mandatory in Brisbane until Monday

Masks are now mandatory in Brisbane and surrounding councils for three days, from today to Monday. The Premier says her advice from the Queensland Chief Health Officer is that a three-day lockdown could prevent a 30-day lockdown.

I saw that as well.  Do it tough for a few days, instead of draggimg it out over weeks and months

Sitting in a waiting room waiting for X rays.  The counter has a rope barrier to keep people back from the counter.  Every second person leans hard up against so they can be next to the counter? Or they lean over it and put their face up to the little hole in the screen

It was only a matter of time. At least they are acting fast.

Yep, and I believe the vast majority will agree with the measures - short term pain to try and prevent long term major problem. No doubt there will be plenty of people being selfish and ignorant about it though?

9 new cases reported this morning, but all of them in hotel quarantine. They've confirmed the 1 case (hotel cleaner) that has been out and about has the pommy version, so shut up shop for 3 days to try and work out if it has spread any further.

No doubt the headlines tonight will be "the great Brisbane bogg roll rush" as people go batcrap crazy at having to stay at home for the week-end

I'm off to self isolate on Moreton Island, for a week or so. On the 1630 ferry so just missed the 'Curfew'.  I'm taking a few extra cartons, just in case it drags on longer.

Bribie Island was a madhouse this morning. Every bloody shopping centre was grid locked but there was still plenty of dunny paper. Called into my local bakery for some of their yummay sesame seed topped bread and there was not a loaf of bread or bread roll, to be seen anywhere! WTF.  Even my butcher was packed out, talk about panic mode.

I did a shop on Wednesday..... we have everything to survive the great bog roll rush for weeks.

Besides, if get too short on food, we can always eat each other.

Doesn't stop ya being hungry, but sure takes ya mind of it.

Hopefully they let you off the ferry, given Moreton Island falls under the Brisbane City Council LGA.

We were due to head up to Woodgate Beach on Sunday but on hold now until we work out what happens post Monday 6.00pm.

And there lies a problem, you live in an area with active Covid, lockdown begins tonight, so you flee the area and become a spreader!

Many reasons why this is happening.

For us we are fortunate to have 2 places and live between both, one in Brisbane and another on the coast and can lawfully until 6.00pm head up the coast, so long as we isolate there on arrival. I decided to stay here in Brisbane after cancelling a trip away in the van, so will now stay put and do some mowing in Brisbane and work on the 4wd.

My daughter did go up this afternoon after finishing her day job, as she works a second role  in a youth hostel providing emergency overnight accommodation for vulnerable youth and which is considered an essential service.

Many people work in Brisbane and travel daily to and from the coast so also will be caught up in the regular Friday arvo traffic bottleneck that SE Qlders know as the Bruce Hwy.

So we can't always judge things on a photo in the press and should not quickly jump to conclusions which is often the case on this forum.

Just spoke to a mate at Rochedale South, he had only just knocked off work from the city, said the road was full of dickheads going south.
He was in the supermarket just down the road from him.
The shelves are just about empty, it was his evening to do his & his mum's shopping.

So people have sh1t3 themselves, panicked.

The road to Rochdale would be full of all sorts of people at peak hour, people also need to get home from work, they all aren't dickheads. It is normal Brisbane peak hour traffic.

Me mates lived there for 30 odd years, never seen it like it.
Fair piont about those that work in Brisbane and live on the Gody, but isn't all part of Brisvagas
