Halo14 posted:Masks mandated indoors for Victoria at the moment? Does that explain the numbers? It's mandated for most places indoors, but good luck getting that enforced. Anecdotally, I think compliance for that is around 50%. It might be higher in high-risk places like hospitals, but in shops and workplaces I don't see a lot of them.

If we don't get a federal ICAC, we're going to have to fund FJ as the only alternative.

Masks are strictly enforced in hospitals (and I'd assume they are in Sydney too) but yeah even less than 50% in my area in shops and cafes etc, including staff.

While there was some cooperation before and during the Manhattan project, after 1945 the US kept its nuclear secrets and research into nuclear weapons to itself. Atomic Energy Act of 46, this is common knowledge although cooperation did improve later in the Cold War.

I had to call an ambulance for my father-in-law last night in Sydney, so I can confirm that not only are masks strictly enforced (ambos wouldn't enter the house until everyone including the patient was wearing a mask), but there is ZERO visitation to the hospital. Also my experience in Sydney is that mask wearing in shops is very high (>90%) and that numbers in shops are very low considering this should be the busiest time of the year. So not only is the PM and Premier's no mask mandate stupid (as people prefer masks) it is also counter productive economically as people are staying at home.

My experience differs. Maybe high case numbers are getting people to go back to the right thing, but my anecdote is that I'm still seeing a good number without masks and there are a decent number of people at the shops even at 8 am.

It's going to vary wildly by area tbh Anecdotally my part of the North Shore (large Asian population) is highly masked indoors still though less wearing them on the streets now, but places like North Sydney CBD were low on masking indoors and outside even before the mandate dropped.

As I see it. Everybody knows that wearing a mask is good. Everybody wants as many people to wear masks as possible, in as many settings as possible. Everybody. Including the LNP. Including Labour. Including all the health officials. But governments are shitscared of the word "mandate". Because they are scared of the whingebag protestors aping the American "Muh Freedumbs!" and "This is tyranny! You can't tell me what to do!" crowd. Especially as they ramp up election campaigning. I know it hasn't been called yet, but we can all see what they are doing. This explains the PMs "I am not going to force you, (so please vote for me!), but wear a mask anyway." bullshit having it both ways response.

Scotty is willing to kill thousands to reduce the amount the libs get skull hosed by in the next election. Whether he's willing to kill tens of thousands is about to become clear.

The Libs don't give a poo poo about the stupid protesters, they care that Murdoch is anti-mandate so they'll jump for their master.

Anecdotal but mask compliance is very good here in canberra. Had to pop to Woden shops yesterday for Chrissie food and I didn't see a single person with no mask besides those eating at cafes.

Went to the supermarket here yesterday, two weeks ago no one was checking in, yesterday everyone I saw checked in and all staff and customers are masked. My Sister who's part of the towns facebook group says there has been quite a few people grumbling about how they'll "never shop again" at a place that makes people ware masks... but yeah there's like 10 shops here and all of them as far as I could tell were very much enforcing mask wearing so, um... good luck with that. (She also said it was mostly the people she saw in the group that just grumbled about everything)

I was in Yarraville and over half the people on the street on a hot day were wearing a mask. It seems like plenty of people are being somewhat conscientious to me.

Was in Sydney CBD today. Mask wearing was good in stores but gently caress me people love to have them below the nose. Only people I saw not wearing them were teens. Bit of a useless trip in the end as I got a call afterwards telling me Christmas is off because my sister's tested positive...

Budzilla posted:That you are ignorant? Fun Fact: The British Government desperately wanted back in on the US weapons program so invited US representatives to witness the atomic tests and see the technical achievements of UK scientists. However the perfidious colonists couldn’t be trusted with any information (despite early involvement in the Manhattan Project by Australian scientists). So the yanks had better access than the Australians at the UK test sites.

I overestimated the NSW Premier. I thought they'd only say they wouldn't do mandates because they had actually thought about the possibilities and noted they would not make mandates in any of the reasonable possibilities. Turns out they obviously didn't and were just talking poo poo. Here was me thinking that the possibility of having to walk back a statement like that would make a person maybe think about it a bit before saying it but nope. The premier did the (one of many) right thing(s) needed and my opinion of them went down. Incredible.
