The non-essential travel mainly applies to interstate stuff.

I'm booked to fly to WA for non-essential travel on Tuesday. This better help with my travel insurance... But I'm sure Sub-section 6,234(v) will probably not make it so.

 

[The Nostradamus]

How will they quantify essential travel?

and how does that get policed

 

[Snake_Baker]

THE GOVERNMENT BANNED NON ESSENTIAL TRAVEL SO THE AFL SEASON MUST STOP?!?!?

Seems a little alarmist....

Journalists mate.

Your initial analysis should be based upon their business (advertising) and political motives.

If people don't watch/react, they die.

Non work related, assume it’s self policed

There really should be a full advertising blackout on media.

Reported that NSW and Vic pushing for statewide shutdowns and school closure from Tuesday. PM says this will be discussed at national cabinet tonight.

lol nothing better to kill the virus

 

[Groin guru]

What that table shows me, is there must be other factors in play for Italy getting obliterated the way they are.

European Union refusing to let them close/restrict borders like they wanted to in Jan.

"Hug a Chinese" day would be up there...



Also patient zero was a Pakistani food delivery man that also worked at a Chinese restaurant. Refused to self-isolate and continued to go about his work
It was sweep under the rug because the driver is a migrant but apparently could be facing 3 months in jail under article 650 of the Italian penal code.

Italy’s Patient Zero: Migrant who delivered food at homes

A young man of Pakistani origin residing in a municipality of Lomellina, in the Pavia area, tested positive for the Coronavirus and was asked to stay home for two weeks so as not to infect

Good. State concerns coming to the fore and teachers have been prepping online lessons for weeks. Maintain a skeletal crew for kids of crucial workers.

Just see them for what they are (which you do), and always initially view them with suspicion.

The good sources eventually reveal themselves.

I suspect there's many including, initial response, community clustering, familial clustering and the medical system.

Italy has been a bit of an economic basket case for some time now. The poor, as usual, are the one's who get hurt the most.

Italy as a whole is a still a G8 economy, so not a basket case at all.

The part of Italy that's been the epicentre - Lombardy - is one of the richest parts of not only Italy, but the EU and thus the world.

Lombardy is the most prosperous region in Italy; with GDP per capita about 35% higher than the European average, it represents one fifth of the whole national economy. It is also the leading region in the Italian economy as measured by total production and exports.

In this case, the whole frigging point of why it is a such a disaster and why it so terrifying for us is that it ISN'T just the poor who are hurting.

It is killing rich white people in one of the richest places on Earth, that has absolutely first rate healthcare.

This stuff isn't "political opportunism" - its FACT.

It is amazing what doing formal journalistic training teaches you, and having experience in reporting it.

You don't make rookie mistakes like you have here for a start.

It is like if I start crapping on about scientific stuff with no formal training or experience.

I don't do it because it would just clog up the thread and piss people off.

Schools closing up this Tuesday

 

[Del191229]

Yep, you can't get blood from stone.

A serious rethink on how business is conducted globally will be in order at the end of this.

Covid 19 is the hands on the economic balloon.

Comrade Coronavirus!

Yet journos were reporting truth when you were babbling brain cooked social media conspiracy bullshit.

 

[Groin guru]

I'm very interested to see if at the end of it all governments push for a global currency reset. We know China is looking to release their DCEP (digital currency electronic payments). Libra (facebook and co) wants their own global stable coin. The US will want their own (already rumours of 'FEDcoin').

They will want a cryptocurrency that allows them to create coins whenever they like.

Hopefully, people push towards a cryptocurrency that doesn't have a ridiculous inflation rate or allows for the minting of new coins whenever a company or government feels like it.

 

[Moti]

The most significant piece of news today is the 10 US travellers who have tested positive. This is where the transmission has come from. It appears it is all localised. That is why NSW has been hit hard because a lot of their outbreaks are community based, which is the Italy problem. I for one think that the measures we have put in place have already started to flatten the curve but as mentioned by H-H earlier, it takes time to see the data change.

Bondi Beach here we come!

Seriously though, lock it all down for a month and get a handbrake on the spread, reassess from there.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Man, I've always said that this situation is extremely fluid. But in the words of Bill Lawry:

 

[Moti]

Wife had a job interview Monday, references completed by Friday, this might just scuttle that one.

 

[desie]

Yes it is Keynesian basics, but nowhere near hard or fast enough.

Andrews is doing far more with the levers at his control.

You don't understand this stuff, gets demonstrated every few pages.

Keen to hear the latest scientific advanced here though.

Andrews is doing far more?

Had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do anything after every other state jurisdiction had gone out because Pallas was happy to leave it all to the Commonwealth.

This kind of stuff is the last thing this thread needs. Take it to srp.

That's terrible I hope it doesn't impact her chances or the job.

Then you'd have no football club.
