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

[bmwfreak]

    Public gatherings not permitted at all

Australian open not a gathering of people??

[lukeycat]

It's crazy that the same issue that caused our first lockdown is causing this one I remember one poly saying she would quit if it escaped quarantine again let's see if she remembers saying that, my brother and his fiancé are supposed to be getting married next Friday I feel for them as it's already been cancelled once a week ago everything was looking great and now we are back in this lockdown situation.

agree - cancel it and put on a test pattern, far more entertaining.... at least that spoilt flog is out... now for Barty to lose and we will hear nothing more of it.

[Steffo1]

Just going out for some staples....wtf?

Unfortunately, not only in Vic.

We come out, you go in.

We feel your pain. Stay the course and good luck for the other side.

I'm confused.

[corndog]

Lukeycat my daughters friend was to be married today. After being cancelled last year.

In The Clarence Valley we have dodged these lock downs.
I can't image what it would be like, take care Swaggers.

Thanks Hairs,

Getting a little over this in a big way. Its about time that the rules changed and we locked the international border up a lot tighter. Yet again this mess has started from hotel lockdown.

This time its a bit different as well as there are not as many essential workers. We were told at the last minute on Friday to take all work home as we are to work from home for the period we are shut. Also still seems to be a lot of freedom with people moving around.

Hoping it gets under contol by Wednesday Midnight, stay safe and happy Victorian Swaggers, as well as the crew throughout Oz

Yeh, Mcenroe was a flog but was also very good.   Kyrios could also be very good, but won't apply himself for a whole match. Some say he's the most talented bloke out there, but doesn't know how to use it..

They have a solution, and probably cheaper than renting multiple hotels and all the staff that goes with it.
Manus island....and Howard springs.  The advantage of these places is the staff stay on site so no escaping of infected persons. Instead of a 2 week stay, all "inmates" get a 3 or 4 week holiday...just to make sure !!
Unless for genuine reasons, the overseas Australians, who refused to come home last year because they didn't want to, can only come home when intake numbers allow !!

one of the news sites was saying the advice was 2 weeks, he went with 5 days... dont be surprised ;'(

AND

[Bad Scott]

yep... Coffee shop next to work has already said he wont make it... 3 perm staff and 4 casuals...

Apparently he doesnt qualify now for the jobkeeper stuff but that isnt going to last for ever anyway.

Sounds simple.
But I cant see all the cleaners, security, food service, health workers etc queuing up for jobs that means you will be locked up 24/7 for 4 weeks, away from home and family, on top of being at high risk of Covid.
The only way that would work is if the Federal Government took control using the Armed Forces etc. If only the Federal Government had constitutional responsibility for human quarantine.
Oh that's right it does! But Scotty from Marketing doesn't want to do it because he will have to pay for it plus he knows he will look bad if it goes pear shaped.

I think it suits them to point the finger at the states when things go wrong.

Won't need cleaners...the aussies can clean up after themselves..
Won't need much security.....where are they going to go....jump in the ocean and swim ?
Health workers....they are already used to dealing with the "sick" covid people.
Food services....this is where the locals make a killing.....feed them fish...more fish...and more fish again !!

just thinking about the logistics of all international flights being diverted all to Manus Island and a fortnight later the National flights to other centres.   Nah, States just need to pick up their game and collectively we need to learn to live with COVID and be better. 

[Hairs]

Download flightradar24,
It will give an idea of the air traffic, not only over & into Australia, but around the world.
This is how this virus spreads, people movement, Der
Just saw a comment in a local newspaper,
The Ballina Mayor said he can not stop flights from Victoria.

You don't get out to bush camp sites much do you, or see what happens after Aussies spend a couple of days camping on the beach? LOL

[NZMarkb]

Well looks like we've gone into panic mode here again

"A lot" of the 1500 Victorian visitors linked to the Melbourne cluster have now left Queensland, while the remainder have been ordered to get tested and enter quarantine.

is that enough - asking people to quarantine ?? to me it feels like asking your kids to pickup their toys.

I don't think it works if you do it yourself
