The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

Well hopefully Off The Couch is not her neighbour.

Peeking throught the curtains all day with binoculars and a notepad

Also how ******* surreal is it, that we'll be one of the last countries to be fully vaccinated? My mate married a yank and moved to Oklahoma with her, her entire family are Jesus freaks and they spend every night holding hands saying grace, going to church every Sunday, he and his wife had their second Pfizer shot almost a month ago, they are 'fully vaccinated' yet us here are waiting for our first shot? Probably late year or early next?

Does it matter? We could all be vaccinated and McClown would still lock us down over a few cases

Countries that have the vax are still masking up and social distancing so nothing will change

Pffft. Three days. Play school stuff.
Nobody locks like a Melbourne lock down. If the wind swings east over there, we will be bunkering down for another month!

 

[JackOutback]

Mildly irked. Was supposed to see comedian Daniel Sloss last year, rescheduled to April 30 because of lockdown. Almost certainly won’t go ahead now.

Accommodation money fully refunded. Jolly decent of them considering they were under no obligation.

 

[Reynolds Number]

Lockdown hasn't stopped landlords visiting to inspect places, as a friend has found out this weekend.

Good move I reckon. I think credit rather than a refund is fair, but you don't want to get a reputation as a business that doesn't allow cancellations etc. when the spectre of COVID lockdowns still hangs over everything.

I wonder if the lack of news around a press conference time is good news because there's not much of an update and they're being pretty chill, or shits hit the fan and they're stuck in crisis meetings right now trying to sort out what to say

think yesterday’s announcement didn’t come until around 12.30

I think yesterday they announced though just after 11 that they would be holding a press conference at 12:15, then classic Marko it ended up being 12:30

From memory last snap lockdown most press conferences we were told about them around 11ish and they were held at like 12-12:30. I remember watching most of them on my lunch break at work.

I’m not going to be surprised with a childcare centre now added to the list that we don’t have more positives announced

We offered to let them keep the cash for a later booking but they chose to refund

Surely they can refuse entry to the landlord for the time being?

 

[gaskin]

No new local community cases but a couple more places added to the list of potential exposure sites.

 

[RobbyRoy]

Extremely surprised by no new cases but we're still heavily relying on people who have been to the exposure sites doing the right thing; not just getting tested but isolating completely.

 

[Off The Couch]

Great news that there’s no new cases
Concerned when they added the childcare centre - thought that would of been one of the first places you thought of having been or does that apply to close contacts as well

 

[gaskin]

That Auslan interpreter is brilliant. Signing some bogan idiots revving their engines and beeping their horns.

Would be good to know if lockdown will be extended or not. Or what it would take in the next day for it to not be extended.

I feel like it's almost certain to be, given our previous stance and the fact there has been more than one case.

 

[BG__]

I feel like this is the last time they'll hold a press conference on the streets of rocko lmao

 

[Billy ray]

IMHO, i say its more than 50:50 chance they extend it to Friday night.

 

[ep2018]

If we have no more cases from now until tomorrow afternoon, no reason to extend the lock down, just have everyone wear masks.

Hard to imagine there being no more cases
