Data shows Australians feel more assured the coronavirus is being brought under control, but many have lost their jobs and incomes

Australians are feeling more assured that the coronavirus crisis is being brought under control, new research has revealed, with growing confidence in the nation's leaders and its health system.

Nearly one in five respondents said they had been laid off in the past fortnight, with the majority of those in working in hospitality, retail and education and training.Newgate Research's weekly tracking study of more than 1000 Australians, taken between Monday and Wednesday, has found been a significant rebound in the proportion of people who believe Australia is responding appropriately to coronavirus, at 56 per cent compared to 47 per cent last week.

Around three quarters of people said the government had acted fairly, communicated clearly and taken appropriate measures to protect business, protect people's heath and provide financial support. Nearly two thirds are feeling more socially isolated than usual, more than half are exercising less than usual and around half of all workers now working from home.

If you banned US and Europe visitors as quick as you did to China and South Korea, au wouldn't have to suffer this losses.

oh but that's okay bc we saved ALL the 95 year olds and the government has locked its citizens up in hotels without access to doctors, proper food or outside air

And we all have China to thank!

Australians may remember Morrison’s coronavirus response ‘as an overreaction’ | Sky News AustraliaSky news host Andrew Bolt says it is “an attack on our liberties” to have the majority of the population shut away in our homes in a bid to combat the deadly coronavirus pandemic. \n\nMr Bolt said while the virus does keep spreading, “it's now down to a record low - now less than 6 per cent more cases in the past 24 hours” in Australia. \n\nHe said the trend “shows we can now afford to prepare for a critically important shift over the next two weeks,” a shift that would be aimed at protecting the sick and elderly in the country. \n\nMr Bolt said it was a pity the Morrison government “won’t do what’s done in Taiwan and Singapore” namely the tracking of resident’s mobile phones to ensure they are following strict quarantine measures. \n\n“The prime minister today made clear that he won't be following Taiwan's example (and) he won't be relaxing the restrictions here on our movements for six months”. \n\n“So the absolute devastation to this economy, to people's jobs, will go on and a hell of a lot of people are going to get badly hurt”. \n\n“I think the government will have to start worrying how all this will look in a couple of years, if the death toll stays much lower than the average deaths from the flu but the economy is a smoking ruin”. \n\nImage: Getty Must be building up the portfolio to apply for a position in the UNHR What morals, let’s let a deadly virus roam free. Maybe he should witness an intubation of a Covid patient without PPE and then report back. One word = wanker. covid19australia Times like this when the fools with fooiish comments stand out.
