So why the 2 person rule if I'm not allowed to gather at all?

Because some people are keen to only follow the letter of the law and not the spirit. If it means putting a limit of 2 to get the message across, so be it.

No non-essential gatherings. Thought this would be crystal clear by now nationwide.

Not really because they've said gatherings of no more than 2 people, which indicates social gatherings are fine as long as they're small

So what a people estimates on how long this will last?

Then hang out with whoever you want one-on-one if you intend on pushing the limits of the rule.

So why the 2 person rule if I'm not allowed to gather at all?

You tell people they can't gather with anyone at all and they'll gather in groups of 5.

You tell people they can gather but only with one other person and they'll probably be more likely to comply I reckon.

Are you advocating for no contact or more contact?

The feds have said 2 and the Vics have gone further. Pretty simple I’d have thought.

I have no intentions of gathering with anyone

That's the stupid part. It's a mixed message. On the one hand, gatherings of 2 are fine, but don't go out unless it's essential.

 

[BACCS]

Just had my dentist appointment on Wednesday cancel for you know what.

But mercy me we better make sure dress shops are still open.

They were told to reschedule any non essential appointments last Friday by the Australian Dental Association.

Advocating for clearer messages.

That's the stupid part. It's a mixed message. On the one hand, gatherings of 2 are fine, but don't go out unless it's essential.

Meaning essential gatherings should be limited to two people where possible and non essential gatherings should happen over the internet

 

[Gralin]

Advocating for clearer messages.

It's not unclear. Don't see anyone you don't have to. If you have to see someone, don't see them with anyone else.
Don't gather in public. Don't chat with people you know at the supermarket.

If you see two people you know talking in public don't make it there.

It's a guideline for social distancing
Which some states are enforcing. So if you live into hay state don't bitch about the fine if you ignore the two person rule

I don't think it's mixed at all. No non-essential gatherings ie multiple people together for non-essential purposes. Like I said, not the letter of the law but the spirit is what you should follow. Do you try and measure out 1.6m to people as well when out and about?

Not according to Dan Andrews:

Most Victorians are doing the right thing and I’m grateful to them. But we continue to see instances of people gathering in significant numbers so we must do more.

That’s why we are also restricting gatherings to no more than two people except for members of your immediate household and for work or education

 

[BACCS]

When are the sports journos going to take a pay cut? The pay deal went through annoyingly easily from their point of view and there's only so many Insta clips you can string together and still call it news.

Fox Sports have cut at least 20 reporters

 

[SaltPeter]

It purely to diminish risk .. less contact = better, while understanding people still need to top up food supplies, medicines etc

Yeah, but if they're fining people, the letter of the law is pretty important.

DISTURBING CORONAVIRUS NEWS: Chinese wet markets in Wuhan, where it all started, come back to life selling bats and other animals

China’s wet markets have been internationally blamed for the rise and the spread of the novel coronavirus aka SARS-CoV-2. The pandemic, which has recorded over 660,000 cases and more than 30,000…

Ditto for ditching the twitter stream. Hamish is also a much better host than Tony Jones.

All in all it’s gone from being a show I despised to one that I am able to enjoy (depending on the guests).

If that doesn't make sense to you then just stay home

It's not that difficult

Makes me sick

 

[Gralin]

People do realise that were markets are not limited to China or automatically a source of disease right?

 

[Hawk Dork]

I love a good wet market in Asia
If they identified the problem and that was Pangolin and eliminated it then it shouldn't be a problem
Sure its not Australian hygiene standards but they never are they are a traditonal part of life
