We didn’t know until he was out of customs that he (and the rest) were going to be allowed in. Issues also in Dubai. Extensive checking was done in the plane on arrival. We all were glued to flight radar until touchdown.

I am starting to contemplate the finish line and that may not be hugely different to the following week. With gyms and pools closed I had better get my bike ready for rides on the cycle track .Mrscove walks.
I will get to see if the shops have been stripped bare
Will go back to two days a week at the office.

Cove I'm surprised you are even thinking about going into the office at all.

Must be a WA thing as our head office in WA said no WFH for anyone, and suggested we take 1 day off work during April and use up our holiday leave.

My sons are suggesting that I should be a NO SHOW at work.
You know it goes better without me.

They are stopping people from working from home? Surely some parts of the business can keep operating?

Edit: Or are they insisting people go into the workplace?

Well I am basically in self isolation now as started prep for a colonoscopy.Because my colon wasn't pristine last time I am already on regular Epsom salts.And it is working.

At least you have a genuine need for toilet paper

 

[cove]

Yes we are operating. Only three in isolation due to holidaying in the UK.
I can work from home.

Not once but twice she was busted for not staying in isolation. I think the fines should double each time someone gets caught out... or I hope State Debt Recovery gets to them (who will double, triple the fine)

Bali holidaymaker’s $1k virus mistake

A woman who had recently returned from a holiday in Bali has been slapped with a $1000 fine after being caught out and about in NSW, ignoring quarantine rules placed on her.

Toooooooo much information

I thought I would start a thread for those of us who are currently quarantined under self-isolation due to the COVID-19 measures.

I've just returned home to Austria after a trip to Portugal. I was planning to self-isolate for 2 weeks anyway just to be on the safe side, but the entire country is now in lockdown. We are not allowed to leave the house except for essential work, buying food/medicine, helping other people in urgent need or to seek medical treatment. This is being enforced by the police and heavy fines apply if you don't do this.

So, I'll be working from my apartment here in Vienna for the foreseeable future. I'll try to keep busy to avoid boredom but it's going to get very lonely and I do worry about running out of supplies like food. I did some shopping before I left for my last trip, but I only have enough supplies for a couple of weeks. I do also worry a little about my fitness - if you can't leave the house, you can't play sport, go running, etc. For me, I think the worst part is that these measures are in place for an indefinite time. I don't know what the end date will be.

So far, I'm doing fine. I know that these measures are necessary, and I support them for the greater good of society. I also know that this situation will end eventually, and life will return back to normal. In the meantime, I am going to use the time to catch up on reading and work on a few projects I had been putting off because I hadn't had the time. So it's not all bad. And I know that others have it much worse than me. There's nothing I can do about this situation so might as well make the most of it!

So, what is your experience? If you're currently in quarantine, where are you, what are you doing to pass the time and how are you coping?

I've been using dating apps and watching TV shows. I wish this will end soon.

So this will be my last post for a while. I trust you all make it through this period.

Second offence - Why isn't she being hit with the full fine $20,000 or whatever it is for that state in lieu OTSF.

Too many wilful richard craniums around who don't give a about their fellow citizens

Why? Where are you going?

 

[Pushka]

I think Morrison just advised that arrivals into the country will need to be quarantined in the city of arrival and not done at home.

 

[Flashback]

Why? Where are you going?

Per PM, I'm sure it makes sense.

 

[Brissy1]

I wonder if there will be an increase or decrease in birth rates in 9 months time.

 

[mrsterryn]

I do think there will be a spike in divorces
