The war in Afghanistan, terrorist attacks, airport security and state surveillance; no, sorry but I can't see an end to that anywhere in my lifetime.

Not for a very long time.These things do NOT happen overnight.China has under reported its death rate by massive amounts.They could lose the population of Australia(25 mil) and it would only be a blip on their radar.Get yourself ready for a long road ahead.We will have cases cropping up all the time.Unfortunately people just do not do as they are told,there in lies a big issue.Stay safe & well!

It will mutate like the Flu virus does. We’ll need a modified vaccine every year.
Those who think we’re out of the woods cant see the wood for the trees as they say... International holiday travel will take the biggest hit, it is and will remain the biggest risk not to mention the challenges with travel insurance if you do manage to fly.

I just got back from hunting & gathering at my local supermarket, out of the hundred people I saw there was only one wearing a mask... Me.

Pretty disappointing really, it's not just about catching covid it's also about setting an example.

I've still got customers coming into the office face to face no one is too fussed and we're based in one of those 11 lockdown suburbs.

Haven't seen any police in the area at all on my 120km daily commute either.

I've seen the way you drive. If they were there, you'd find them

Looks like NSW Air Pol are conducting a border control run along the remote eastern NSW/Vic border area

I wonder if there are any patrols at sea...seems it would be easy to head off for a "fishing trip" from South West Victoria and be dropped off on other side of the SA border to meet a friend with land transport in South East of SA.

It probably comes to no surprise why I average less than 20,000km out of a set of tyres

News just out....a US marine in NT has tested positive..........

Who didn't see that coming? I hope our most vulnerable are adequately protected.

Lets see what coverage this gets.

Same here. I did both Woolies and Aldi the day before yesterday and not only were they both packed (I actually had to drive around to find a park for the first time ever) but I spotted only one other person wearing a mask, staff included.

At least the entire pharmacy staff were masked up as, surprisingly, was the local noodle joint staff.

Do you reckon it's a complacency sort of thing, people not thinking they are effective, or is it a supply issue?

If you end up with supply issues over there let us know what and we'll each pick-a-Vic to keep supplied with what you can't get.

And chin up Vic dudes - at least you are safer now they made that Torana guy give back his WEPN plates. Phew!

Virus = droplet. Fart = gas (if you're farting droplets, probably best to stay at home on the can). More than a little size difference...

Sweden had 295 new cases on the 7th July and they were getting excited to see such a low number!

I'd love a video pf the sex workers eating the KFC. I reckon that would be worth watching....

No doubt they had the other 12 up on stage with them..

cheap · 10-07-2020, 05:43 PM

We have a contender!

NSW holds the highest Australian C19 daily cases @ 312

VIC is currently at 288

We flattened the curve without them since we haven't had much community transmission and that is what is different about what is happening now.

Sure if I had to I would but you would also have to tell me where I can buy them

The advice not to wear them probably had more to do with a lack of available supplies and the fact that the Government wanted to keep what they had for health care workers than it had to do with their usefulness. We've had them since day 1 and use them whenever we go out.

Just to be clear. This clown is a local that has returned from Victoria rather than a Victorian visiting.

ford71V8 · 10-07-2020, 04:08 PM

^^ Separate incidents.

My query would be, Are the sex-workers also Guards, or are the Guards also sex-workers?

Confusing for us non-Vics

MercuryT · 10-07-2020, 04:43 PM

Mind numbingly stupid......

Good on the Ambos for reporting the car to Police.

Costly party for sure.

CoupeKing · 10-07-2020, 08:51 PM

I won't submit to wearing a mask, but if their so effective let's all wear masks and open up the country again.

Hope those who've rushed to their holiday homes are not infected. They must not have registered the Premier's words.
