Yes, there were many points in there that were practical or common sense, but maybe not everyone would think of doing. Interesting that it was sent by my nurse/sister-in-law from Qld. and it was supposedly fake or incorrect news - so even a nurse is fooled by fake news? Anyway I've taken it down and here is the official Health Dept Advice, which doesn't go into as much detail on personal hygiene or prevention? (if not already posted on here?)
Good hygiene for coronavirus (COVID-19)
Everyone can help build a COVIDSafe Australia as restrictions ease. Everyone must continue to practise good hygiene at all times to prevent the virus spreading.

ABC's Norman Swan denies 'rancour' with chief medical officer after PM's office intervention on coronavirus
Broadcaster says his forthright views on government’s initial response to outbreak must have ‘really annoyed’ them, but he was not cowed

They're compulsory in VIC I'm pretty sure. Each state has its own rules.
I dunno, I didn't go down the beach to find out, I don't think 1.5m is a save all and a beach full of people 1.5m apart is still a lot of people and at some point you have to move between them. You make some good points but I'm still not going to a crowded beach.

I just went to woolies 
pretty chockers.
I reckon they should allocate certain days for shopping to try get a smaller constant amount in at one time.
Do the same as your watering days or something.

I'm thinking it's heading more towards V for Vendetta with the US about to be devastated by disease. Only difference is that England doesn't seem to be Prevailing.
One of my tradie mates got told yesterday to prepare his site for lockdown today.
Another mate who is in healthcare is telling me midnight tonight will be the start of a lockdown.
They didn’t tell me their sources though so I don’t know how true that is.

Yeah not far off. Have you seen the drones they are using? End of privacy as we know it and we are asking for it. We all want this stuff to fight the virus but it will be here to stay.

Police have been installing those cameras for 2 years . Number plate recognition is already in place .
Facial recognition is already in place but still not working consistently
Charlies and Joondalup hospitals setting up as Corona hospitals transferring non Corona patients to other hospitals in preparation for the coming weeks.
Surely they have to give us a warning for a lockdown? IE we will be doing it in the next 24 hours.
We are still working from the office in the city but im not waiting and taking all my stuff home this afternoon.

What site do you know? Residential or commercial? We've just got a letter from a builder saying full steam ahead but they will be very strict on social distancing and hygiene and anyone not complying will be deemed in breach of safety (big issue on commercial sites) and booted off site.
I work on the design side of commercial building and everything for us has been full steam ahead also.
Residential so it could just be the owner not wanting to take any risk.
You're not the one stuffing up all the drawings I price up from are ya?
Construction is supposedly deemed essential so I think everyone is trying to keep it going as long as they can.

Im in research which hasnt stopped, most things are online these days anyway (except for some of the specialized equipment we use). I suspect when all this is over though there wont be any money in the sector im in because the economy will be shot (for a while anyway)
Some smaller Resi builders are properly freaking out. We've been getting grilled about out protocols by builders we don't even have any live projects scheduled for. Everyone handles pressure in different ways I guess.

The government pattern so far is to announce things Sunday night giving people Monday to prepare then impleament on Monday midnight

Yes, in Qld they are - I found out the hard way after moving here.
It is completely reckless these elections are still going ahead.
Demand for postal votes (which closed two weeks ago) crashed the application site and many ended up missing out entirely.
Early voting booths have been packed from what I am hearing as well.
You're probably looking at a million people throughout the state being funnelled in groups into small, shared spaces...
Oh, but you are allowed to bring your own pencil...
Qld living up to its reputation once again.
