Blow posted:Not to be a oval office, but (<-- I know dude, we aren't even close to the bad bit yet. I'm seeing alot first hand that is barely making it to the news yet and I have no idea how we pull through. Had several cases from nursing home deaths today at a facility with confirmed cases which sucked hard but suprisingly hardest case today was helping a family who have someone still alive at the same place.

Dunno if you guys saw it but the government released an app with corona virus information and apparently a way to report in via it. Look for Coronavirua Australia on your app store. They also released a WhatsApp bot which you can access at https://aus.gov.au/whatsapp but I'm not sure how useful it is.

Entered the strange new world of staff meetings via zoom todday. Apart from people talking over others the only other thing that was odd was where people decided to conduct their meetings. A couple of people looked like they'd phoned in from the basement while I looked super illuminated I'm sure in no small part by my dual monitors and the fishtank lights in the background of the shot.

Just want to thank scomo for managing to leave temporary visa holders out of two rounds of financial relief so far. He realises we can't go home either because we're Australian residents for tax purposes, right? We're just going to starve.

It was all a bit disappointing for one family who had headed to Canberra for the first time because their church in Sydney was closed. Milly Tuisalega thought that Canberra was "nice" but she and her family were disappointed at the lack of KFCs. They had been to Parliament House and found it closed.

Went to docs office this morning, as I have mild symptoms, and they are not loving about. Not allowed to enter the office and told to go wait in my car for a phone consultation, receptionist made it sound like they're likely to test me. So that's my morning this far.

Last week we were at 558 per 100,000 people compared to 117 in the UK and 22 in the US. We've had some unforgivable gently caress ups, but overall we have our poo poo more together than most other countries.

Got a referral to get tested this afternoon  Looks like they've relaxed testing requirements as I haven't been overseas/been in contact with someone overseas (Other than dropping off groceries to Dad on his porch) Talked to the boss who freaked the gently caress out thinking he'd have to shut down immediately. Well.. like... loving people have been asking to work from home for like the last 2 weeks, that's you're own loving fault for having to stress about this. All things being equal I'm very glad I live in Australia, I know I'm going to get looked after, and I've already done all my prep work if I have to go into quarantine. I wish we were more stringent about this, and think we do need to lock the country down for a few weeks, but I 100% agree that we're doing better than other countries. Can you imagine being in America during this poo poo? Estimated deaths are between 200,00 - 1 million+ Fuckin sort it out

Think it's prudent, was listening to the news this morning and they've mentioned testing is dropping off. Doctors keep saying test test test test Lets test. It's likely to be just a flu/cold, but I'm not going to be that oval office in a zombie movie that doesn't tell the group they've been bitten.

It's hard to find the right balance point. The objective isn't to stop everyone from getting it. It's to stop vulnerable people from getting it at all and to slow down the spread among others enough that there's no danger of our healthcare system being overwhelmed. Right now we're on track to cope with the expected surge mid-April, but a significant increase in the number of cases among healthcare workers could quickly change that. I think we could be doing more, but what we require of the general population needs to be simple. I've seen the letters being sent out by the NHS in the UK and they're confusing people because they're not simple enough. We're following their strategy, but we need to implement it better than they did.

It's also good I have an extra couple of hours to do my own poo poo during the day. The not being able to leave part is a bit of a downer though and I couldn't imagine how poo poo it would be if I lived on my own or with someone I didn't get on well with.

My dentist is still open, they sent an e-mail about how they're so good at avoiding cross contamination that you don't have to worry. I mostly believe them, I guess.
