One of the Melbourne cases went to the boxing day sales at fountain gate. Hope you're not planning on going out tonight.

People who were in those exposure areas should definitely not. But everyone else shouldn't have to abide by any restrictions just because there's one case in the city.

I feel like Melbourne peeps have COVID PTSD or something. You can't enforce Stage 4 lockdown for a few cases, especially when the contact tracing is meant to be up to scratch now.

NSW contact tracing had been held up as the gold standard and yet

I wasn't advocating immediate stage 4 but I do think anyone going to anything beyond a small gathering of friends/family tonight is a wanker.

Just open mouth slack jaw wonderment at someone considering covid traveling from Sydney to Melbourne, past the NSW contact tracing and controls, remaining undetected for up to a week and half during a period of big social movements and just before another night of frenzied social gathering as too early to tell if the situation is out of hand.

It is bad. We're going to need incredible luck on top of more personal sacrifices, and even if we are that lucky, the magic of having zero known community transmission is gone and it'll back to low key every day dread for a while. Which some people deal with by venting their fear into the void, which for some reason really loving offends you?

This pandemic is completely unknown territory. There's no way NSW could reasonably have predicted a limited area lockdown in a big city could fail, with no prominent examples of that happening. Likewise there's no examples of immediately implementing strong lockdown measures until you have the data leading to a positive outcomes. All we can do is wait and see if half measures and dumb luck can save us from looking like we overreacted, truly the worst outcome of all.

The one on the right is a passport photo, which are demonstrably impossible to take a flattering shot for. Unless you're lucky enough to be Filipino as their passports let you do a mouth closed "Mona Lisa" smile.

The left one I'm not sure is an Australian standard passport, I don't imagine immi would have let it through with hair covering the ears and the neck scarf.

E: not sure on the right one now, the guy is slanted and the eyes should be level. Immi and Auspost when you lodge are usually anal about it Maybe they're just real bad photos or they've started taking photos before boarding for this situation.

loving things up badly enough to trigger outbreaks and border closures is a mismanaged disaster ya dingus.

NSW has also recorded two cases since the reporting period ended, one of which visited a bottleo in a shopping centre while pre symptomatic. But it's cool, they got a donut day crisis is over.

My completely unrelated to this story also about working in a supermarket selling cigarettes:

In my last year at Uni I worked at the checkout at coles. And because I was one of the few checkout people over 18, I was always in the kind of island thing with all the ciggies. What I used to love to do was when some haglike 60+ woman came in to buy her smokes, I would put on my best private school manners and say "I'm sorry ma'am, but can I see some ID. We have to ask anyone who looks like they are 21 or younger." These old ladies would coo and giggle and go "Oh, what a nice young man you are" etc.

It gave me a laugh, and I liked making these women happy as they bought their cancer sticks.

Thank you for listening my pointless, boring anecdote that added nothing to the conversation.

You don't have to be 18 to sell cigs, at least in Vic. Maybe your bosses enjoyed you flirting with the olds?

There was a GP near my old house who'd refuse to do any birth control or pregnancy termination consults (she also refused to do anything with workers compensation and car accidents, which seemed weird).

Workers comp comes with a lot of paperwork, on top of that there's the potential that the employer's insurance company will dispute everything and make more paperwork while being assholes about it. The patient might not be able to pay, could be relying on their/the employer's insurance to pay and getting money from them is fun. Not handling worker's comp/car accidents is the least objectionable thing about that GP apparently.

In a shock twist absolutely impossible to predict, the coalition does not intend to continue a broad jobkeeper program past March, but say they will support some industries as needed, i.e.tourism.

In a somehow greater surprise, so stunning M. Night Shyamalan was reduced to tears by the perfect beauty he can never match, the coalition will likely not increase jobseeker permanently.
