The cynic in me states that we wont lock down during the Aus open.

Imagine the pandemonium that would follow if we did.

Lockdown and cancel the open and no one will come back here again lol.

Lockdown and keep playing in front of no crowds and there will be riots.

Wait a week and then lockdown and risk the numbers going up.

Quite the dilemma.

"No, you are not allowed to see your mother, no you are not allowed to open your business.  You only have 4 reasons to go out.  1 is to be an essential worker. 2. is seek health care.  3.  Buy food.  4 excercise by yourself for one hour per day.  Unless you work at the aus open as a ball kid, a player driver, an umpire, a commentator, a camera man, a gopher, security, etc etc etc, then you can go and do as you please."

Whilst no one else is looking....  QUICK all MP's flee to Canberra before the lockdown begins at midnight.

Yep, we are stopping the spread alright.  Our pandemic response is so responsible that our politicians are running off to Canberra at the request of SCOMO.

Then people wonder why someone who works in a health service is becoming cynical about the pandemic response.  Maybe it was because we were asked to setup a pop up testing clinic at a moments notice, only for OHS to kibosh it because of the way the cables were running across the floor....

Yep, some virus threat we have here.  Its so bad, that we are encouraging people to leave the state before a lockdown so they can meet at parliament, whilst potentially visiting a location dubbed a hot spot (for those not up to speed, Brunetti at Terminal 4 of Melbourne airport).

Is this my cognitive dissonance talking?  Perhaps.  Its hard not to be conflicted when facing such hypocrisy.

Why is it so hard?

It leaves us equally correct to assume the source is either imaginary or the Federal Health Minister, so I doubt anyone can take it seriously!

You know the bulk of the Federal Liberal Coalition is down on the Mornington Peninsula holding it's national conference, that is why Scomo was in Officer yesterday looking at regional building developments.

We played AFL and Cricket through lockdowns, why not tennis?

The problem isn't likely to be the professionally managed sports and sportspeople, the big problem is more likely to either be a Joe Average or some everyday nutter riding the rails!

A much bigger concern is poor corporate behaviour, I read the AO was touting discount tickets for the afternoon and evening sessions despite knowing a lockdown was coming.

Surely the AFLW should now form hubs and quarantine the delayed season for a week or two before resuming.

Sporadic lockdowns might be COVID normal for a long time to come!

What is the significance of a state border to a corona virus, is it stopped by Trump's wall, maybe we should build one too?

The UK/SA/Brazil variant hasn't simply "spread", they now know it's appeared as a similar mutation occurring independently in several locations, they know this because the genomes show a different lineage. Get enough people infected and you get a new variant, eventually, somewhere.

A lot of public media commentary seems to imply you can stop this by border closures and diligence, but you can't it's already here, it's already endemic, and the appearance of mutations is inevitable.

We might be the first location for the next big variant, they all have to start somewhere!

I wish there was a simple answer, for the benefit of everybody, but there isn't. While it's a very very remote chance, you could easily be sitting on the train next to a stray fart and you'd be fecked!

We discussed this at my local RSL meeting yesterday.  The cost of insurance, etc was simply too high for the RSL to pay then have the march cancelled as is highly likely.

It’s a different world and it won’t get back to normal even after most folk are vaccinated.

Article in the paper today highlighted that almost everyone who goes to Brunetti's at the airport are heading interstate.
