Today based on information, no lockdowns or school closures. Off course its being discussed, dont believe twitter FB. The Prime Minister, Chief Health Officer and Premiers are who to listen to. My daughter received a text from her boss saying nation wide lockdown would be announced today based on cabinet meetings. Extremely disappointing in my book. Experts everywhere!!!On Monday 500 people gatherings banned.Today it's 100.Most of my friends are working from home. Schools are being told get ready.How can the PM stand there and say it's rubbish? And come out eith crap like It's only the elderly at risk like they don't matter? Quote Selected

We are following the Singapore model with schools who have kept them open, however that country applied harsh restrictions as soon as China revealed their crisis and thats the difference we have bumbled along instead of going the harsh lockdowns, Singapore learned from the SAR's virus and we are playing catchup...its crazy, we need to lockdown for a month.

Most at risk are... aged with an underlying illness, especially lung issues (cancer, COPD, emphysema), diabetes, obesity and hypertension chief among the high risk folks (much like a bad flu!!!).

Compromised immune systems already and smoking rates are very high in Italy. Iran and France somewhat the same. Asthma and diabetes even worse. Quote Selected
Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #206 – March 18, 2020, 01:17:44 pm My brothers wedding on Saturday has just been thrown into turmoil.He's left with the (most likely) strange problem of having to call guests and tell them they are no longer invited. This is so he can get the number to (under) 100. This would probably have to include the staff members too. Quote Selected

I watched all of it and don't recall him using that word. In fact, he said there will be cases where some people (ie like the NAB yesterday) will need to work from home and that schools where someone tested positive would need to close. Quote Selected

It was towards the end of the conference and after crapping on about the schools not needing to close because Singapore didn't close theirs. Quote Selected
