Thread: Corona Virus

Victoria's Quarantine debacle could have happened in any State, According to an Australian member of W.H.O.'s COVID response team.

Vic’s quarantine errors ‘just lined up’: WHO doctor

So what are other states and territories doing differently?
In Queensland, police officers and detectives – not private security guards – monitor hotels used for quarantine.
In South Australia, returned travellers must stay in a ‘medi-hotel’, which is a quarantined section of a hotel or facility monitored daily by a medical team and security guards.
In New South Wales, quarantine hotels are guarded by security guards from private security companies like those used in Victoria. One difference is that, unlike Victoria, the private security companies hired in NSW are banned from subcontracting out the work to third parties.

I see Coronavirus has revived the seachange movement, with lots of city people moving to the regions.
If they can work from home then why live in a crowded city?
Regional real estate agents are busy and prices and rents are rising in desired regional areas.
Looks like, for once, we were ahead of the trend in moving out of Brissie to the Sunshine Coast.
Anyone else on here heading for the bush?

Not my cup of tea. I have never understood why a lot of Aussie country singers have to sound as if they were born and raised in Nashville.

Cue L. Kernaghan.

Meet Dr Spot, the robot designed to protect front line health workers. Any one who has/ is watching the SBS show' War of the Worlds' will feel very uneasy watching Spot, but he can dance.

Christ, you must be really, really olde, Mister. I don't think the real Stonehenge even has a pub, well certainly not nearby. It could be just a pile of rubble these days.

If it did, I reckon a good name for it would be, "The Hole in One"

Of course not, unless you are a Welsh Shepherd or a NZ-er.

Foreplay doesn't necessarily start with that end anyway, that comes later. So I'm told, he hastens to add.

Has the Navy never taught you anything? Maybe you should have read "The Jolly Jack Tars Guide to visiting NZ & the UK".

Also they do seem a bit keen on Sheep Dogs dying & the Wife/Girlfriend has left for another bloke.

Been to both places, they are almost like us, except for those terrible accents. But lovely people, and beautiful sheep. But tell, why do the Welsh put lipstick on their sheep?
