One of the protestors at the black lives matter rally last weekend, has come down with covid19. The protestor was in close contact with over 20,000 people at the rally.

This is gonna happen everywhere there was major protests. Theres gonna be a huge spike in cases

Yeah, and it was all preventable. What a bunch of tossers, they knew there was a pandemic, they knew they were breaking the pandemic laws, they knew there were still active cases, and they went out and did it anyway.

Worse still, they are planning more protests this weekend and the Federal and State Governments are telling people not to go because they are breaking the law and will be charged by Police.

And to top this off, I think it's the Federal Health Minister's? wife is meant to be attending the rally this weekend even though she is not meant to be. And she is married to the Health Minister that made the laws for this pandemic. If anything, she should be charged with more offences because she should be setting an example.

I wear a mask all day long, now my ears are red and soar

Barry, a mask won't top you catching the virus. The mask is to stop you spreading it to other people if you have it. The mask stops you breathing virus out onto other people.

To avoid catching the virus, you need to stay a couple of meters away from other people, and don't let anyone breath on or near you. And wash your hands after being out in public and before you touch your face.

If you go out in public and are near people, then have a shower and change your clothes when you get home. It's also a good idea to wash keys and disinfect mobile phones and other items you have with you, when you are out in public.

fair enough, in which case, wear a mask

Also its also illegal to not wear it in a house.

 

[Colin_T]

How do they know if you are wearing it in the house?

Theoretically, if you have the virus, it's going to be all through your house so there is no point making people wear a mask in their own home.

On the news tonight, a new international airline has just opened in Queensland, Australia. This is quite ridiculous considering Australia's borders are shut to everyone unless you live here. So opening an airport now when all the others have shut down because there is no business, is pretty dumb.

A family friend just died of this. He was a fire fighter and an EMT. He was on a vent for 2 weeks and he died yesterday. Please please please take this seriously and be careful even with the restrictions lifting....

This is the 6th person we have connections with that has died of this, we know others who almost died

 

[Crispii]

I'm sorry for your loss.

Well another protest in Perth today. Over 10,000 protestors went into town and spread their germs. Some of them vandalised statues. Protestors were not complying with social distancing laws or group sizing laws. Cops didn't arrest anyone.

What's the point of emergency Federal Health Laws that were enacted at the start of the pandemic, if they aren't being enforced?

It's awful - no-one is coming out of this well, and a lot of vulnerable people are suffering - of all races, colours and creeds. However Trump has ramped the violence up to a level that no-one feels they can back down from without appearing to have "lost".

Dreadful situation.
