Caronavirus - COVID 19

[wayne]

North Korea have got it sorted

[WilliamPowell]

Only thing we have going for us is a lower population density.

Elsewise, too slow to react like most of the EU + western world.

Asian countries faring much better - more experience with social distancing and lockdowns etc.

Agree

Think the fact we are an island,  helps a bit as well

Sadly we were to slow in closing our borders but that doesn't matter now

We all just have to do what they are asking us to do

[Andyy]

The other thing we need to do is actually dob in people who aren't following isolation guidelines.

Very serious issue! Lots of people still leaving their homes to do shopping etc, or down-playing their symptoms to see GPs when they should be calling the hotline.

We have brought in X number of cases from overseas and I am expecting to see a surge in community-acquired cases this week as a result of people not following those guidelines.

I arrived in the Philippines the day everything got locked down. I'm on Bohol where there hasn't been one positive.

Since arriving officials came with me to the villa I was booked in at. I've been checked in on randomly to make sure I am following the guidelines and have to send in temperature readings 3 times per day.

They acted swiftly and decisively.

Positive test percentage:

USA  13%
UK    5%
South Korea 3%
Australia   1.2% (from ~150k tests)

So we're doing better than others on that front.

From the Chief Health Officer, Victoria:

Some of the behaviour today - when we’re asking people to stay home - has been really crap. It’s hard to change habits and it’s hard to see dangers that aren’t apparent yet. But with 3,000 cases of COVID in Australia this week, we’re headed to 100,000 in 2-3 weeks without change.

That means thousands of deaths. Overwhelmed health services. Medical staff at unacceptable risk. Unstoppable spread. Do the right thing now and #StayAtHome. Today. Tomorrow. Until we’re through this, please.

Brett Sutton is right and has been outstanding during this crisis with his clear messaging

Pity we have so many selfish, arrogant pigs out there who just don't get it.

A sign of what we as a nation have become

What makes it sadder is that 6-8 weeks ago we saw the best of Australia, the Australia I love and grew up in.

Today we are seeing it at its absolute worst... no care for others just the what's in it for me, it's all about me mindset...  It started with loo paper and just got worse, each day. Now people going to the beach. Some nuffer on the news last bemoaning he just wanted to get a tan and "We can do social distancing at beach"... 

Which is the real Australia?

While I agree a lot of those idiots at Bondi and stkilda are tourists.

That said I was at Bunnings and I was shocked to go inside and see kids just freely running around the place. I know some people don't have a choice, but I call Bs on a lot of those cases where it was "essential" to bring ur kids there and have them run around the place.

I didn't even let my kids see their grandparents for a birthday yesterday, as I would rather raise kids with some values about following orders than let them think it's okay to do what they want.

As a side note, I strongly believe suicide on the back of covid is going to be a bigger issue.

In a time like this, peoples true nature comes out

This is the true Australia. All our asses are on the line, so most of these pricks are out for themselves.
