Only realised recently that l have seen or heard nothing on commercial t.v. or radio.
Would have thought that was a given.

so, what's your alternative to this direction?

Oh yeah sorry, I forgot Dan and his cronies have handled this perfectly!

 

[GarnerSmash]

Oh yeah sorry, I forgot Dan and his cronies have handled this perfectly!

I for one would be interested in hearing you opinion on an alternative approach.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

No eastern suburbs postcodes, I notice. Could have sworn that 2 eastern suburbs were named as hotspots this past weekend.

Given the per capita COVID-19 death rate in NSW is, at least, double the per capita death rate in Victoria, I can imagine you must be giving Gladys a piece of your mind even more because you’d be a fair-minded chappy, I suspect.

Don't really care what happens in NSW to be honest. Care about how pathetic our Premier is, but of course you being a fair minded chappy would no doubt think he has done wonderfully and there is no issues.

"I do feel obliged to inform you that in Broadmeadows and Keilor Downs alone some 929 people refused to be tested," Mr Andrews said.

 

[GarnerSmash]

This is what happens when you get peeps who are on $25 and hour to manage a health emergency security. Surely they saw this coming?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

What were those hotel guards up to then? Hmmm.

True. I can’t argue with that assessment. I reckon he’s done an excellent job, all things considered . Having said that, I think the other premiers have done an excellent job as well. I do care what happens everywhere, to be honest. Otherwise, I’ll never get to see my extended family again, which I do care about too.

We’re a model for the rest of th e world. Imagine being in the US right now.

Here's why these postcode lockdowns won't work:

Just spoke to a mate. He lives in 1 of the 10 postcodes. He also has a currently empty rental property in another suburb/postcode. Guess what he's doing for the next 4 weeks!?

Sweet let's all move into our investment properties

Yes, we are looking good in comparison to the vast majority, SDS. However, there’s no doubt that things can change drastically very quickly on that front, Monday’s hero can be Tuesday’s chump with this virus.

Sucking on a ventilator in the ICU?

As long as he’s in the vast minority, it should be OK. There’s always going to be outliers. If the general population pull their collective heads in, it should slow things down, hopefully. It’s always going to be there to some degree, at least until the vaccine- even after that too, maybe.

I do agree with this in general, but it's all still a little too grey for me. I know of a suburb that has had 3 schools closed and yet that suburb isn't on this postcode list.

Who are this “they” you speak off? :stern look

The reverse vampires.

Sucking on a ventilator in the ICU?

plenty of ventilators free at the moment. 0 being used in the country

only 1 of 2200 ICU beds occupied too

 

[Gasometer]

Whoa all right. It's only been four months.

Yes. Correct.Worse

 

[Gasometer]

So Highpoint is open then?

 

[gokangas]

I think Knifepoint stays open.
