Yes. Going to cost the Oz economy dearly- end of forecast budget surplus for 19/20.

Saw this sign from a shop in Australia about the virus and it made me laugh -  thought I would share it with those who also have an Aussie sense of humour:

13 k fine and police checks? 

What does police checks really mean? 

[simple1]

Probably residence check for compliance with self isolation

Home deliveries? As per the post above great deal of panic buying / hoarding going on right now - bogans must be ecstatic...

Another inexperienced politician who thinks dirty foreigners are the risk.

 

Just wash your hands, man up, and stop wrecking the economy.

I take my hat off to ScoMo for having the balls and putting Ozzies 1st, winter is on their doorstep and it could get much much worse.

 

If you think manning up is by washing hands vs wrecking the economy, well, what can I say, perhaps keeping people well apart from each other and events will reduce the numbers of infected and spreading it even more to put the hospitals on overload, then what, turn people away, especially the older, more frail.

 

I take it maths wasn't your best subject ?

 

Ozzie, ozzie, ozzie, oi, oi, oi ! ! !

Ggggrrrrr
Just been to supermarket, needed toilet paper. Was someone at the shelf with both arms full, at least 8 packs of 16 rolls. I have said that hoarding is unnecessary, pointed to his antisocial behavior and completely razed and cursed him. He nodded and asked if he could continue to fill the shelves.

Sounds sensible andif been done from day 1 things wouldn't be as bad.

Australians are big travellers and the rule will make them rethink about travel for a while.

The Prime Minister Scott Morrison is at least trying more than can be said about ours here in Thailand.

What are you talking about?

 

“Chief medical officer Brendan Murphy was asked on the ABC's Insiders program this morning if Australia was considering lockdown measures similar to those in Europe.”

 

if this, then hardly inexperienced or a politician... if this, 

 

“Mr Morrison says the new advice was agreed upon at today's National Security Committee meeting.”

 

then again, hardly inexperienced or political.

 

I’m wondering, do you have an issue with worlds best practitioners?

I think the Aus economy will take a greater hit if they just let these filthy international travelers  enter freely.

 not half'n'hr ago on the News... didn't catch where they were reporting about, but; I heard the bit where someone said they were only allowed to go outside, to the shop (only the 'one' from a household)

- and when get to the shop, only one shopper at a time allowed to enter to individually shop.

Certainly weird... 

[UbonThani]

Go to the shops daily then. Cough everywhere. Touch everything.
