Gladyssian was right there but yea I'll be surprised if today's news isn't a rolling chain of new exposure sites and a lockdown from 6pm. I just got a 3d printer so I'm set to lose all my income for a few weeks and gently caress up my lungs for some sweet sweet disability and tiny elves.

Dude's a bit of a private school poo poo. He ran for student office largely on the promise of providing a rickshaw taxi service on campus, and spent every lunch for two weeks personally ferrying people up and down Eastern Avenue.

IIRC, when asked who'd actually be carrying people around should his policy go through, he said the international students would do it, "because they're used to it." He didn't last long after that.

Seriously how do you cunts live, just looking for a problem to cry about. They announced it due to a quick growing crisis. They weren’t going to be throwing anyone against the wall 2 hours later. The law before midnight last night states everyone needs a mask on them anyway so this just changed to “and wear it in a loving office after midnight”. Many of the people working at midnight likely were already wearing it.

Looking at the exposure sites, it seems someone drove down to Barwon Heads to visit the football club, went to officeworks and an Apco.




Just the dumbest poo poo. Had to be someone "just going for a drive to the beach". Now there are three tier two contact sites 80km out of Melbourne.

And I know that Apco, it's huge and incredibly busy.

Why is that the dumbest poo poo? If they had no symptoms and didn’t know they had been exposed why would someone not go for a drive like that? If us pursuing no underlying community transmission means you still shouldn’t go more than 3 metres from your front door for fear of unknowingly spreading the virus then what the gently caress is the point of it?

Why? How do you know they had symptoms?

There are plenty of cases who've done the wrong thing (the removalists, the guy wandering around Wollert for 10 days while symptomatic before getting tested). There are also plenty of cases who don't have symptoms or don't realise they've been at an exposure site and just because everyone on this forum is a curtain-twitching weirdo who never leaves the house doesn't mean the rest of Australia is obliged to live like that.

Yep yep yep and the 60 year old that caught it from the removalist then went on to spread it at the mcg was asymptomatic, so we can fire dead poo poo pointless what ifs all day and maybe feel a tiny bit better for winning the internet or we could not.

You know what a good communications strategy is for rules changes? Making decisions early enough to have an evening press conference, where those changes are clearly announced and thus can reach people, instead of, you know, late night tweets. How dare anyone critique the communications strategy of a government in a *checks thread title* politics thread.

Your post was bad and needlessly aggro, and honestly you've maintained your form. Stop whining about getting called on it and post better.

Looks like policy on the run. Which is normally a federal government responsibility.

The thing is we are all human and will make mistakes because no one is perfect and being asymptomatic is a problem.

this is where the lockdown comes in and should be used to control peoples movements except you have all these bullshit ifs and buts and loopholes that are clearly exploitable within the letter of the law rather than the spirit.

I hope vic locks down for a week or two, full guns blazing, nothing open, dictator dan style, squashes it then looks at NSW and says 'TOLD YOU SO'

quote:

Then, as the conversation started to wind up, Mr Morrison said he wanted to address an old rumour the radio hosts had previously perpetuated.

“Can I clear up one thing from ages ago?” Mr Morrison asked.

The PM went on to address the longstanding rumour he had soiled himself at Engadine McDonald’s, in Sydney’s south, after his beloved Cronulla Sharks lost the grand final in 1997.

“It is the biggest urban myth ever, it is complete and utter rubbish,” Mr Morrison told the hosts today.

“I found the whole thing incredibly amusing, I always joke about it ... it is absolute and total rubbish.”

nah. apparently the teacher who lives in geelong, got it from their friend in the maribyrnong apartments and spread it to the school in bacchus marsh (where they work).

this teacher it the same person who went to the game at the mcg and spread it to two others.

one of those is a friend who lives in barwon heads.

so it's not just one person on a road trip but actually two people in the geelong region, but traced back ultimately to the NSW removalists who were at those maribyrnong apartments.

but that first teacher, has potentially spread it to a school of 2500 students and 2000 contacts at the mcg in the space of two days.
