Looks like things are finally going in the right direction

$1,500 pf as a wage subsidy sounds reasonable if that's what it ends up being. Effectively paying people to stay home in many cases

2 person rule should limit interactions as well

Now they have to shut down more retail shops. Jigsaws nice but not essential

Few days back

Backlash over the 30 minute limit for hairdressers, lift the limit

We're governed by idiots

NZ and UK join the list

How long before we do here?

We will hit 2,000 cases today, 5000 on the weekend

Sooner the better imo

Looks like big changes coming. NSW and Victoria looking to close schools (finally) and non-essential businesses

South Australia closing it's borders

Great it's happening, numbers sound good but I think they're going the wrong way

Loans and tax concessions blah

Wage subsidies 👍

But base it on actual payroll via single touch payroll not tax withheld on activity statements

Was interesting hearing that there have been 4 cruise ships dock in Sydney recently and they have all had cases on board. One of those was Ovation Of The Sea

A couple from work was on Ovation Of The Sea and I sat next to one of the guys at work for the day early in the week.....

Luckily it ends up they were on the cruise before this one. Phew

Still a week and a bit away but I have dilemma

I love Harmony Day, the whole idea / concept / event but I'll admit my favourite part of the day is everyone cooking food from "home"

Plan so far at work is to have a grazing table of what everyone brings. Would you want to risk it given everything that's happening?

Good riddance imo

What a shocker

Interesting to hear that the latest case in Australia was a lady returning from Iran to Queensland

We've got very little chance of stopping this thing imo

I've been putting off going to the doctor but needed scripts renewed so had to go. I was ready to cop a blast for letting things slip, not getting a blood test done etc. Bit stresed by it all really.

Different doctor, was waiting for me to arrive. Ticked a few boxes, in and out in a few minutes. Did what he had to do and even said "no judgment" re not going back sooner.

I think I miss my female doctor who would make me feel guilty as hell and judged but seemed to care.

@mike it might just be but I'm not getting pictures tonight

I use Fedilab
