This is Dan's fault – quarantine workers should have N95 masks etc
and they shouldn’t be traveling to dozens of public places.

Not quite as good an effort as our own little "Energizer Bunny" security guard/rideshare driver here in Perth:

https://www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/Articles/A_E/Coronavirus/Locations-visited-by-co...

I don't think he's been on any flights recently so you can stop when you get to those - at least I hope so. Shocked

There was a story in our West Australian yesterday where they spoke to some of the shopkeepers in the Maylands area where our little "Energizer Bunny" visited (5 times over several days because he lives in the area) and the shopkeepers say the whole shopping area is now a ghost town because shoppers are staying away and the shops are losing thousands in business each day.

Edit - added link (from 2 days ago before yesterday's newspaper article where it seems things were getting worse):

https://www.perthnow.com.au/community-news/eastern-reporter/maylands-quietly-mov...

That's on top of what businesses all over Perth are losing because of the lockdown. Unbelievable.

Australian Open players, officials isolate as warm-up tournaments suspended

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/tennis/australian-open-players-officials-isolate-as...

Quote:

Play at several Australian Open lead-up tournaments in Melbourne has been cancelled on Thursday following the news a positive COVID-19 case worked at one of the quarantine hotels hosting competitors.

Time to put an end to this farce as well or Dan's head will really be on the chopping block.

(My elderly aunt was upset last night when she was hoping to watch As Time Goes By on 9Gem like she usually does every Wednesday night and they had tennis on instead).

‘Lock them up’: PM says hotel quarantine to stay and 90 per cent of Aussies agree

The majority of Aussies want returned travellers locked up and treated as though they have COVID – and some want to go further.

https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/health-safety/lock-them-up-pm-says...

Quote:

Australians still want returning international travellers locked up in hotel quarantine and remain divided over whether ankle security trackers represent an alternative.

Underlining fears that returning travellers remain the biggest threat to Australia’s claim to remain largely COVID-free, new research has found the vast majority of voters – a stunning 90.2 per cent – want returning travellers treated as if they have COVID until they prove otherwise.

The research, prepared by the Redbridge group and obtained exclusively by news.com.au, involved a sample size of 2000 voters across the country.

Just 5 per cent of voters don’t agree that returning travellers should be treated as if they have COVID until testing negative and 5 per cent are unsure.

Quote:

Support for the tough measures is highest among older Australians most at risk from dying from the virus, according to Redbridge rising from 86 per cent of 18 to 29 year olds to 92 per cent of over-50s.

Less talk and more action (like moving quarantine out of the major cities) is what we need right now.

now over 1000 people are in precautionary isolation.
