I'd argue that even China allows deliveries. It's not like there is any contact between delivery person and quarantiner. Not sure what the issue is.

In this case the player concerned had shouted for other players and was out in the corridor, hence potentially infecting other players or being infected by them. In theory I agree about deliveries, but it depends on the manner in which they are done.

Received a call last night, my god-daughter in Malaysia is in quarantine at home as at her workplace several have tested positive. She has some symptoms but as the hospitals are overloaded, has to quarantine at home. It surprised me that she had to book in for test (Tuesday) if she wants results in 24 hours, has to pay.
180 RM for test and 15 for disinfectant? Which is about AU$50.
I have had a terrible week-end with other family issues and that news just topped it off.
I was hoping 2021 was going to be a better year, not a good start.

Sorry Maggie. She is no doubt young and should come out of it relatively unscathed. Let's hope it doesn't spread through the family.

There are free tests, but I daresay the queues are ridiculously long at the moment.

So the economy is back up and looking to be the best in the world and suicides last year were less than the year before'

I wonder how the Murdoch press will spin this into Dan is bad. I guess the tennis/tennys "disaster" lol will be front page news for the next month or so.
Dan has done a brilliant job because he followed the science and thats all you want from a government, to do the right thing despite the public outcry.
Suicides in Victoria dip as calls to mental health hotlines spike
There was an almost 3 per cent drop in the number of people who killed themselves in Victoria last year, despite concerns the state's strict COVID-19 lockdown would lead to more suicides.

If it turns out she has covid, she's actually lucky she's quarantining at home, they've only recently allowed it. People who test positive used to have to go to a quarantine facility even if asymptomatic - but those places are now full. The videos from them are pretty bloody dire.

The Hun is still trying hard to hurt the man, but not even most of its own readership is buying the line.
To put it broadly, the overwhelming majority of people seem to grasp that the government is a good one, despite some mistakes amidst shitful circumstances.
They certainly seem to understand and support the government's measures since all hell broke loose, despite a background of tinnitus-like droning from a malcontented minority.

Swings and roundabouts. The whole of Malaysia has still had less deaths and more freedoms than Victoria throughout this. That'll probably change pretty soon though.

This is their second lockdown, previously 2 in a car, 10K radius, shops closed etc. However one good thing is they were pretty much always wearing masks and when I was there in Jan/Feb last year, temp checks were conducted at most major outlets at elevators or lifts.

The first one began with only one in a car (the male) and only leaving the house for grocery shopping, before they changed it due to the upcry from feminist groups. There's some very funny videos of men stuck in a supermarket with a list. On their phone trying to get their wife to explain what cumin or other ingredients are.
With not one shred of evidence I believe that the warmer countries are at an advantage with the virus.
I believe that the heat does slow the spread of the virus. Does not stop it, does not prevent it from spreading, when I look at the way the virus spread in Victoria, during winter, and the way it has taken hold in cold Europe and cold America, I think that there is something in it.
So yes, warmer countries will have less deaths per capita on this assumption.
How many years have you waited to post that?
Did you have a draft ready to go? Did you have to transfer it to a new computer every few years?
Anyway...Happy Birthday Johnny!

She appears to be lefthanded, like me, which attests to her creative bent and sensitivity.
Lefties rule!
My mother was naturally left handed, so that’s obviously is where I inherited it.
But she tells me of her time at school where they would put a cane across her left hand when she went to write.
It was the “devils work” and had to be beaten out of you in those days.
Bloody heathens....

The Latin ‘sinistra’ originally meant ‘left’, but subsequently was used to evoke ‘sinister’

I'm convinced of it too. Perhaps it's akin to colonial days when people with tb used to be advised to seek warmer climes. Or inhaling steam for chest infections. Perhaps the heat reduces the likelihood of pneumonia. Or perpahaps we're full of it and making up science. Let's get a nutty website going and become Trump voters.
