to me the interesting part will be how the domino affect caries on though out the community
the borders are closing if not already closed so mine workers from other states will find it harder as time goes on to fly in and out and non essential travel wont continue so to me less general goods will need to travel too and there would also be less turn over of cash in the general community so people wont spend as much on say retail businesses like hairdressers or such wonder if bunnings ends up closed any time soon ![]()

Im struggling to understand Scomo's stance on schools.
He suggests that Children are at a lower risk of complications but that doesn't mean having 30kids in a classroom cant be a source of transmission from one family to another whom otherwise may never come in to contact. Secondly, he suggest that kids would lose a year, whilst this is true, its not the end of the world. When I went through school here in SA you graduated yr12 at the age of 17, somewhere along the line they changed the age of transition from preschool to primary school and now yr12 graduates are 18, so taking ALL children out of schools now will just mean children in SA would then turn 19 in yr12. I think there is greater harm to be done by allowing parents to make their own decisions as it will create a divide between those children who stay home and miss the next few months of schooling and those who continue on. I understand the Governments concerns with the effects on parents, especially those in health care and support their desire to provide somewhere for their children to be to allow them to stay on the front line, but surely this could be done through the avenue of programs like OSHC (Out of School Hours Care) whereby mainstream education ceases and modified programs are run to keep the attending children occupied and then schooling to resume for all children when deemed safe for ALL involved. This isolates children and families who don't need unnecessary exposure regardless of the risk whilst maintaining the ability for healthcare workers to fight on. |

Would love to see one of these actual confirmed eports as so far all I've received is several of those dodgy warnings not unlike the 'as of tomorrow Facebook owns everything you've posted' style ones stating this.

This is what I see happening and it is really a bad situation.
The feds all along have been very slow to react, their focus has primarily been to look at the massive economic impacts a nationwide shutdown would impose, their health experts do not operate a single hospital. Instead literally throwing money at the problem. Secondary has been the medical issue. Whilst the states are bearing the brunt of a medical emergency, they operate the hospitals and these facilities and staff are being smashed. Hence many of the states have said enough is enough! We’re implementing lockdowns, shops, schools, sports everything non essential. This major disconnect between the two became evident on Sunday afternoon when ScoMo was caught on the back foot by Vic and NSW decisions. ScoMo’s response to the states, a half hearted lockdown and a passing shot at the states, basically if the states decided to implement a lockdown they do so at their own risk and they will be contributing to the huge economic hit to Australia, and btw the increase in active cases is because people aren’t succinctly obeying our social distancing rules. Trying to figure out this mess, leads me to conclude that the feds position is that not enough people have died to warrant a national shutdown. |

It's so easy to be critical yet this is an evolving situation that requires so many factors to be considered including the fact that much of the population ignores your directions anyway.

The school thing is interesting, if you think things are tough now once/if school stops then hold on because your available workforce will nearly halve.

Just to clarify my own position, if they close the Schools I'm out of a job, that's a significant economic hit to us but on the positive side it eliminates 2 sources of possible contact with the virus, firstly I wouldn't come in contact with the children of 9 families directly any of whom could in their daily lives come in contact with it. Secondly, if I wasn't in this position I'd seriously consider taking my kids out of school to again reduce the avenues to contracting it and in doing so help prevent my Wife coming down with it and unsuspectingly taking it to her workplace. I can't justify eliminating this possible source whilst I'm still exposed to the former and it would also see my children disadvantaged in terms of education compared to those who continue on under Scomo's current guidelines.

As for no evidence about kids being carriers, I mean WTF??? Kids have the same physiological makeup as the rest of us. I have 2 ”kids” currently suspended from physically attending university and the other attending school in year 10 - so which of the three is at greater risk? ScoMo had previously used Singapore as evidence of keeping schools open, but conveniently doesn’t mention that Singapore immediately closed its borders and they have a small handful of manageable virus cases to deal with, so yes their schools are open. |

AHPPC does not support the closure of schools given the lack of evidence of significant disease in children and the lack of reported major disease spreading in schools. Furthermore, the closure of schools poses a major risk to children's education, mental health and wellbeing, particularly those from low socioeconomic regions, where schools provide an important environment for nurturing and learning. The impact on the critical workforce and potential exposure of elderly relatives caring for children is also of significance. School closure would achieve some degree of additional social distancing but the evidence of its benefit at this stage is minimal. AHPPC views schools as an essential service and strongly supports keeping schools open. https://www.health.gov.au/news/austr...-22-march-2020 |

My daughter is a primary teacher and for those with skin in the game know it's a nightmare at schools at the moment. They have no way to keep 500 little kids apart at the moment at any one time, the kids simply are too young to get the distancing thing. They also report no sanitiser in the classrooms, so while the parents in most cases are home there are throngs of kids now running around together and then possibly bringing and or taking home C19 I think the reasoning behind keeping schools home is to allow parents needed in essential services to get to work and so they do not stay home. So while it is difficult these teachers are also the front line in the battle we also face. I know my daughter does not feel safe now attending school given the difficulty in trying to get these kids organised and the given risks. We then to compound that have other family members that have medical/respiratory problems compounding this problem. So if you see a teacher out there on the front line try and understand how hard and upsetting it is for these poor buggers right now. I think they are trying to get those kids who can stay home to stay home and at least some sanitiser for those remaining plus more, but with the speed of changes it has not been an easy ride for everybody including our teachers. |

Personally quite frustrated at the lack of cohesion between State & Fed govts - they ought to be on the same page whether rightly or wrongly.
From 3:30pm yesterday afternoon to 9:30pm the Vic govt announcing plans to shut down and then back pedalling at the behest of the PM is wildly unprofessional (lack of a better term) and smashing confidence in people.

From what I gather Fed and State did meet to discuss the latest measures, seems cohesive enough given the situation.

Scomo, like any govt, is just a mouthpiece at the end of the day. The decisions are worked out by those in the meetings and he gets to deliver the news to the public. Then the public just ignore it and do their own thing creating a mixture of panic and blaze attitudes.
