Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[blackcat20]

Would they have mentioned why they stopped your car. A long way from the vehicle registered address? Your car attracts attention?

It was a road block, they were checking everyone.

I can tell you we have several friends in the UK who are absolutely living in fear for July 19th.

I have no doubt. The spread of fear is far and wide.

Whatever happened to "looking after your own needs" - you know, what most young men do, most of the time? I mean, come ON! If they can't be celibate for 2 months, what do they do when their wives get pregnant and give birth?

Seriously, if they go blind, how can they kick a football?!!

50 people not checking in is worrying.

But not surprising, I barely see anyone checking in those type of environments, in any state.

So Victoria will certainly go into another lockdown now. Another week or two do we think?

It just goes to show, as much as we love blaming politicians, luck plays such a big part in all this. The Sandringham Dry Cleaner "cluster" (of 2?) went absolutely nowhere ,but this one, aah who knows where it will all end up.

I have to agree that luck is a major decider on how far and fast this travels. I say this being stuck in lock down and limiting my movements while neighbours around me, some who work in western sydney continue to get the occasional visitor. Not sure if they think how far it could spread in a couple of days if one of them had it. But as most of us know many just think they don't have it as it's just a runny nose.

There is a pool going at work for how many days til an NRL player breaks the bubble restrictions, only took a few days last winter.

50 people not checking in is worrying.

But I think that's the original one, SA Health thinks there's another site (on the way in) but the three guys aren't forthcoming. Looks like Victoria is angrier than Sa right now.

ok. I'm confused now. It's a different service station. It's one owned by some of the wealthiest SA people and who own the Racetrack there.

There must be a language barrier due to the fact they are most likely talking to idiots.

I think I read Vic Government has gone easy on the family as they have been very helpful.

That's just something your mum told you so you wouldn't spend too long in the shower.

And again goes QLD

How long did they spend buying fuel?! I've bought fuel there and barely rubbed shoulders with anyone. 118 close contacts from a fuel purchase seems excessive?

The Tailem Bend Coles Express has exposure listed from 5:20-7:00pm including bathrooms. I would guess they stopped for dinner and showers.

There's also food / seating at the same site.

Understandable. Why the need for hospitalisation, ICU, or death for something you can wait a few more weeks and be vaccinated against? Reports coming in from family in Europe today that the situation seems dire with lockdowns and restrictions. Not having much fun

Few more weeks now? Well good to see it’s coming in.

I believe this is one of case 9 or 10...teacher's family member

Thanks for that. It's been so long, I'd forgotten how good he was!

Is that Barwon Heads on surf coast, near Geelong?
If so that's regional. Can't be good.

OK, fair comment. Times change! Many years ago I drove trucks and a fuel stop was just that. You didn't even buy food unless it was hot and ready to go.
On reflection I've suffered a lasting effect. Due to Covid I've done some ridiculously long daily drives, just short of 1500 kms in one instance, but I've yet to stop for dinner and showers in a road house!

You would be the exception rather than the rule on that. I’ve been in the freight industry for a long time and most drivers stop and have a sit down meal and often a shower aswell. Big business for the roadhouses
