Thread: Corona Virus

If you are the only person in the country unfortunate enough to contract COVID19, you'd better hope you've behaved your self :

Borders: Truck crash causes death on Western Highway, police

and our thoughts go to the people affected by that incident.”

This would have to be the most hackneyed phrase of the "Covid Years"

That or similarly worded, seems to just tumble out of the mouths of Politicians as easy as. It always sounds so shallow & uncaring & I bet they never give another thought to the affected persons not unless they are in the hot seat for blame.

Definitely can relate to this.

Visited 3 states over a week with border rules changing all the time - ended up in isolation on 3 seperate times, had 2 PCR tests, had to make 4 permit applications and 2 exemption requests, had 3 government authorities chasing me, and was subject to 8 different interviews - and I was a negative case with no contact with any known cases or places.

Good to know the contact tracing is working well and glad we are not the UK or US, but make no mistake - there is no privacy under a police state.

So do behave everyone- and if not then wear a mask

Today we get to see if Dan continues the “nothing to see here” routine to allow the tennis to continue with up to 30,000 visitors a day - or admits Melbourne is sadly on the brink of wave 3 and now needs to go into Lockdown.

30,000 you say? That would be interesting to see what 30,000 would do to fill in a few days. Probably go & visit a few Caffs & Supermarkets.

Looking at the crowds - looks like most people are keeping away from the tennis anyway.

But definitely will see a rush to the shops.....🧻🧻🧻

The crowds have been low from the start - workers on site have been offered tickets on multiple occasions - they can’t give them away. I was asked if I wanted to go see the evening session in Wednesday but I didn’t want to go in, and no one else did by the looks of it.
