SA The Adelaide Thread

[offtherails9]

Just beat the rush to the local Aldi (I was due to do my food shopping tonight anyway, so besides getting a couple of extra bags of lollies, it was a normal shop for me).

By the time I left, people were waiting outside for trollies.

Attempted to go to the local Coles/Woolies for some stuff I didn't want to get at Aldi. Both had massive lines. Saw the butcher next door had a queue of 5 people, and Big W was dead. That saved a couple of hours of queueing.

Yeah I needed to get some things from Woolies but I saw the line and walked straight back out.. **** that.

The no exercise outside is mental.

Seems similar to the Melbourne curfew in that it just makes it easier for the cops and harder for people to find loopholes.

I for one am devastated that I will not be able to go out for a run. It was definitely the highlight of my week and I never looked for excuse to get out of going.

 

[Richard Cranium]

The fact that people didn't learn last time that supermarkets will have what they need when they need it if we all just stay calm is ridiculous.

Even bottle shops will be open during the 'circuit breaker'.

 

[Shell]

Maybe try a foodworks something smaller than a coles or ALDI

More expensive but thats pretty much where i went most of the covid lockdown. Practically had the store to myself each time.

Yeah I needed to get some things from Woolies but I saw the line and walked straight back out.. fu** that.

i went to Coles at the Avenues shops just after the announcement and already about 25 people lined up and thought **** that and just went to the OTR down the road to get some dog food, will order online tonight and either get delivered or pick up

 

[MatthewB]

traffic is crazy aswell, Payneham rd was quiet this morning and as soon as it was announced it has been heavy ever since

I'm definitely getting a bike ride in this evening, as who knows when the next time will be.

The no exercise definitely sucks but if it means keeping it to 6 days then I'm all for it.

Those with a backyard pool would certainly be in a good position, especially given the weather over the next week. For me, I'll just stick to star jumps.

And if it turns out the six days is in fact much longer (just like every other lockdown) will you admit you got fooled AGAIN?

Anybody who supports a ban on outdoor exercise for 'health' reasons is a ****** moron, period.

Oh an evening walk at the least will be happening.

How easy would it be to ring-of-steel Adelaide? Could have spared the regions from this - pretty unlikely that it'd have gotten as far as Whyalla or Mt Gambier

I suppose the Hills and outer north make it difficult to draw a line somewhere?

 

[Gough]

Bottle shops to remain open.

The problem is the random bunch who have visited that Woodville Pizza place. They could have ended up anywhere.

4.1 google rating in a pretty central location. Would've been much better if it was a shite joint out in the middle of nowhere...

I work in the grog manufacturing industry
We are still producing stock

Im prepared for this to go on much longer than 6 days but surely they can’t maintain the no exercise component longer than that? Not everyone has access to a home gym or is willing to do starjumps on the back lawn.

Not everyone actually does exercise.

I'd be 99% sure that's the first thing gone. Even six days will be an ask for some - poor dogs.


I'm half-wondering if it was done for shock impact. People here took any opportunity they could to bend the rules - could have been even worse in SA with the complacency developed.

They are saying its a fast version
so go hard go early and hope for some good luck

SA virus strain is extremely fast moving
Jill Margo

Health editor Jill Margo has this report on the speed of the South Australian virus strain, which authorities say has a very short incubation period and can make people infectious to others within one to three days after exposure:

The virus can go from one person to another, making them infectious, all within three days.

“This strain has a very, very short incubation period. When a person is exposed, it takes 24 hours or less for them to become infectious to others,” says Chief Public Health Officer for SA, Professor Nicola Spurrier.

DON'T fu** THIS UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont **** up but she creates pandemonium with her rules which will inevitably create cases to justify longer lockdowns. The shops were madness

People are kidding themselves if its just 6 days also.

Health first but Dans open, cant exercise outside by yourself. Think this shit through before supporting it. Cyclists cant ride to work like that makes sense...

 

[Neese]

Took besties greyhound for a walk tonight. He is not going to be happy without his daily sniffari

 

[Punchy Bassett]

DON'T fu** THIS UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's already been ****ed up by the idiots in charge of the Medi hotels

 

[Moonwatcher]

Haven't read the thread but 6 days seems to be a half measure to me. I suspect lockdown will be 14 days.
