Maybe the police tend to err on the side of caution in those situations.

Something like 90% of the drivers caught speeding around Horsham are from South Australia - the speed limit is 110 in SA and when they cross the border they don't slow down.

If we want a baseline measure, what could be better than the worst possible environment for spreading vs containment-by-isolating, than a crowded ship. Anyone who regularly cruises.... understands how quickly a 'gastro' bug can spread.... and that's purely surface-contamination.

Cruise ship outbreak helps pin down how deadly the new coronavirus is | Science News

This Cruise Ship Has the Highest COVID-19 Infection Rate in the World | Time

and, IF spread by air-conditioning... then this cruise ship's system is virus Heaven !
Study: Ship's AC system likely spread COVID-19



Remember, having sufficient disposable (one use) face masks could be problematical, never mind (enforcing) wearing them !
The figures I'm finding indicate ships, be they for pleasure or business, have near-identical infection and death-rates. Obviously lower on a Navy vessel as the older vulnerable members have retired...

Interesting articles. ^ ^ ^

I realise the Jury is still out on the transfer by Air Cond. but I honestly believe that this will prove to be a huge factor in the research. Obviously, I am not a Scientist & so cannot prove this scientifically, but better brains than mine who are, will reach this conclusion one day. Mark my words.


I hope you can say, "****, I think I can remember 4bee/Pluto going on about this stuff."


If you are moving air, no matter at what Velocity, even a Low one, anything caught in the air stream will move at the speed of that air Try it with fine Talc powder..

Like my "esteemed" colleagues here we have all seen the sort of crap that "somehow" has found it's way to the final ceiling Diffuser & has travelled the whole Duct length of some hundreds of ft in some big jobs & off- branches share this crap.. That is why one sees filthy ceilings around the diffuser frame on the ceiling, but some of that comes from filters that are not routinely or thoroughly cleaned. These dirty patches consist of microscopically small particles of Aerosols.

It is not beyond human belief that some of this crap includes Covid-19 &/or other bacteria of the time & harmful to us & our lungs. Seasonal Flu is but one. If the air temperature is on heating, I can imagine it making a lovely porridge as it amplifies.

Really, I remain surprised that more AC Servicing personnel don't succumb to Lung Diseases. One just takes it in one's stride & only professional Duct Cleaners probably have the proper H & S Breathing gear. Maybe over the years we have grown "immune" to that ****. I have known a couple & they were Smokers which makes the situation far worse.



Anyway, that is how I view the causes/transfer of this pandemic. Pardon me for spouting this stuff.

I hope you can say, "****, I think I can remember 4bee/Pluto going on about this stuff."

I think that what is not known for sure yet with this sucker is how long the virus can survive on various surfaces such as air con ducting.

Different animal to bacteria such as found with Legionnaires Disease, which needs water to exist or travel. The other main culprit in air con ducting is particulate matter 2.5 (PM_2.5). We often have it for lunch in Bangkok!

I just drove from Oakleigh to Brunswick and saw several hundred people out and about, all ages.

Of all the people I saw only two weren't wearing masks.

I actually saw even a few joggers wearing them, which they're not required to.

Well done Melbourne.
