Multicultural communities split by NSW-Victoria border closure report confusion and information delaysA lack of in-language information about restrictions along the NSW-Victoria border is causing confusion for multicultural communities there, with local interpreters saying they are getting updates up to 36 hours behind the rest of the population. Yeah totally, it wasn’t the fact that they are living in an English speaking country and don’t know the language or anything. Diversity is our strength. 🙄 “It is a really big part of our community that is unable to understand written messages in English or even their own language,” she said.' They can't even understand their own language. You'd think someone in their community would teach them how to read their own language. If they were to learn English?

'It looked inevitable': How the NSW border to Victoria was closedThe government hopes the jarring economic impacts of the hard closure will be outweighed by sheltering NSW from the worst of Victoria's coronavirus storm. Rabe9 rachelclun there was 1 covid scare in Casula pub resulting in few infections So it is best to have a border shutdown Rabe9 rachelclun It looked inevitable but it should have happened 2 weeks earlier.NSW might forgive Ruby Princess as a mishap due to the lightening speed of pandemic but I doubt NSW will forgive GladysB a second time if COVID19 takes off in NSW because she was too egotistical to close the border Rabe9 rachelclun Everyone: please look at what is happening in Sweden right now. Their model is working (ICU wards are emptying despite limited to no restrictions). We MUST get out of the lockdown mindset. It is the wrong approach and the collateral damage is just immense.

Melburnians urged to wear masks as Victoria records 288 new coronavirus casesVictoria records a record number of coronavirus cases with 288 new COVID-19 cases diagnosed since yesterday, the largest daily increase of the pandemic so far. The headline is not correct, I accidentally watched that little piece, the advice is that people in a hotspot should consider wearing a mask. I say accidentally bc this whole thing here in Australia is a great big nothing, 27 million people, is it 200 deaths or less? Investigations everyday ‘we never hear the outcomes ! make it menditary!
