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 ! ! ! 1 2 1 1 Link to comment

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. 1 12 Link to comment

Bruce Aussie Chiang Mai Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 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. ????❤???????? 1 1 Link to comment

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? 2 1 Link to comment

Takeaways? Then the delivery guy is at risk. How do they enforce this? They cant. Its a joke. Order online, the supermarkets do that in this day and age. 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... Link to comment
