One way to make sure you catch it..stupid

ScottyFromMarketing has ScottNoIdea on how to deal with this covid19australia Co MuppetInDisguise

Gotta take its toll on people returning.... now a 14 isolation period 🤦‍♂️

How do they get home from the airport? Actually a serious question.

1.5-meter-distance is just a verbal advice? I can see human-to-human transmission 🦠😱

This gov is so lame ScottMorrisonMP, MarkMcGowanMP is not doing much 2put pressure on Gov 2lockdown. Airports and ports shud hv strict procedures, not asking the ppl 2c ur GP, f they r unwell. They shud b checking da temps at da airport Nd send them 2quarantine centres.

Why on earth anyone would be travelling anywhere in the world at the moment is just plain stupid and selfish 🤬 If you are returning home to Auz then fair enough, no place like home but to vacay during a global pandemic .... absolute mouth breathers 🙄

Why act confused now? Youz didn’t know😱

Go home right now

Why is it confusing? Health and safety first for everyone

Should have landed at Canberra as Scotty could have filled you in first hand.

Well, if one has it, they’re probably all going to jammed like sardines there.

Can *someone* - anyone who knows why they’re talking about - please clarify EXACTLY what self isolation entails?

But did you die Get on with it.

Errrr, shouldn’t they have stopped the flights from taking off, instead of preventing the entry into Australia to people who landed. Just saying

Gathering of more than 500?

Don't go over seas then...

Two Sydney university students test positive to COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaA student at the University of NSW and one at Sydney University have tested positive to COVID-19.\n\nUNSW said the infected student went into immediate self-isolation and was not on campus while contagious. \n\nThe USYD student reported feeling unwell at the weekend and is recovering in hospital. \n\nSix on campus locations will be cleaned and about 80 people have been identified as close contacts of the infected students and were asked to self-isolate for 14 days. Bet they are fly ins. .👎 If fly ins, the university should be held liable. Is it Karen Ji? The one complaining that she had to dance around to get back into Australia. Be hilarious if it’s her. Cancel her visa either way. Hopefully she is copy shit from anyone that has anything to do with her.

This Sydney doctor believes Australia can avoid a Covid-19 public health crisis. Here's howA Sydney doctor believes the country is well-placed to avoid a Covid-19 public health crisis, but only if all Australians take certain steps in the days and weeks ahead. He is sorely mistaken , watch people in a public space like the supermarket or the train & look for possible transfers. Hell the line to get tested is a virus fest , the village idiots cant even stand a metre apart & no one is even bothering to police or point that out to them Look at the approach below - this is what worked for Singapore, HKK and Taiwan. Now ask yourself: What Australia implemented from the flowchart. Hint: fuck all.
