I know most will disagree but I wish we would do the same including domestic borders. Short term pain for longer containment seems a fair price at this point.SMH is suggesting Israel is about to close its borders to citizens from all countries.... this will impact a few on here.
Its times like this that I am glad that half my super is a defined benefits scheme indexed to CPI.Yes indeed. My retirement has tanked (again )
cheers skip
Yep. Our business is 90% interstate. On the other hand SA is doing ok. No local spread just travellers from OS. So you have nothing to fear from us.I know most will disagree but I wish we would do the same including domestic borders. Short term pain for longer containment seems a fair price at this point.
And then they get sick too. I didn't hear the meal bit.

Unless you are a citizen!Guess the El Al trial is off then.
They are still waiting for symptomatic cases to act when we know there is huge asymptomatic spread.

Where did the doubt come from? I thought we knew about this for quite some time. Either completely asymptomatic or very low level symptoms.This comment made me a bit wary. I thought there was a lot of doubt about this proposition?
Asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2 has been reported, but it is not yet known what role asymptomatic infection plays in transmission. Similarly, the role of pre-symptomatic transmission (infection detection during the incubation period prior to illness onset) is unknown.
How is this coronavirus spread?
The coronavirus is most likely to spread from person-to-person through:
- direct close contact with a person while they are infectious
- close contact with a person with a confirmed infection who coughs or sneezes, or
- touching objects or surfaces (such as door handles or tables) contaminated from a cough or sneeze from a person with a confirmed infection, and then touching your mouth or face.
Most infections are only transmitted by people when they have symptoms. These can include fever, a cough, sore throat, tiredness and shortness of breath.
On the topic of super balances taking a dip, I feel for retirees but given my considerable distance to retirement at present, I always consider this a bit of a bonus - I get to buy in at a cheaper unit price. In fact if we could perhaps make it a couple of decade slow period followed by a massive pre-retirement recovery, that would be fantastic. Sorry to those I am throwing under the bus here with my fantasy retirement plan

Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte says travel restrictions are being imposed nationwide to try to stop the spread of the spread of the new coronavirus.
Conte said Monday night that a new government decree will require all people in Italy to demonstrate a need to work, health conditions or other limited reasons to travel outside the areas where they live.
The restrictions will take effect on Tuesday and like those in northern Italy will last until April 3., he said.
"There won't be just a red zone,'' Conte told reporters referring to the quarantine order he signed for a vast swath of northern Italy with a population of 16 million over the weekend.
"There will be Italy" as a protected area, he said.
The premier also took to task the young people in much of Italy who have been gathering at night to drink and have a good time during the public health emergency that started on Feb. 21.
"This night life...we can't allow this anymore," Conte said.
