Professor Senanayake said “when people cough and sneeze, droplets of infection come out of the nose and the mouth but they fall very quickly within 1.5 metres of the person”. “We still think the best time for someone to use a mask is if they are going outdoors and they themselves are sick so they don’t cough and sneeze on other people”.
“If everyone were to use a mask there would be a risk reduction from getting COVID-19, but you would have to have a lot of the virus in your society to get that benefit”. Professor Senanayake said it was for this reason masks were used more regularly in countries hard-hit by the coronavirus, while many Australians have continued to go about their daily business without masks.

Woman tests positive to COVID-19 after given travel exemption into SA | Sky News AustraliaA British national who flew from Melbourne to Adelaide on Sunday has tested positive to the coronavirus, raising questions about South Australia’s border restrictions. \n\nThe woman was granted a special exemption to bypass the state’s border laws on compassionate grounds to visit a dying relative, but was swabbed and taken by police to her accommodation upon landing at Adelaide Airport. \n\nA positive test result was returned on Monday which marked the state’s first confirmed infection in 19 days, sparking public anger over the government's decision to let the woman in. \n\nSA Chief Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said she stood by her decision to grant the travel exemption and reassured the public there were strict measures in place to regulate the movements of anyone entering. \n\nOfficials said the case did not impact plans to move to stage two restrictions on Monday. \n\nImage: AP Which is why we all need a fourteen day quarantine... that will teach them! any Australian border should be closed, shut to any international traveler, as the pandemic is running wild outside Australia. so what.

‘We can’t trust’ whether ‘the truth’ on COVID-19 will be told: Bolt | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says he is getting “so suspicious” of the things and information Australians are being told and the “exaggerations” being fed to induce panic in society on COVID-19. \n\n“I am not denying the virus is dangerous,” Mr Bolt said. \n\n“But, so many things we were told turned out to be untrue or exaggerated,” when it comes to the deadly pathogen, he said. \n\nMr Bolt said the fact Australians were told between 50,000-150,000 citizens would die due to the virus was in fact “completely wrong”. \n\n“We were told we'd run out of intensive care beds by April 5. Again, completely wrong”. \n\n“We were told that golf had to be banned to save lives. Nonsense”. \n\nHe said he is “not sure” he can “trust that many people any more to tell us the plain, calm, straight truth” in relation to the virus. \n Are we all sure this is not satire? 😐 I would trust science before I trusted Andrew Bolt's 'suspicions'. Really, in 2020, how many people give a fuck about what Bolt says about anything. Kick his arse to the kerb sky.

Cost of COVID-19 restrictions in regional areas exacerbated by 'low foot traffic' | Sky News AustraliaVacy Hall Toowoomba Director Graham Higgins said the impact of coronavirus restrictions upon his business had been “really difficult” and “really costly”. \n\nBusinesses in Toowoomba have been denied the chance to have Easter trade, long weekend trade and Anzac day trade and still suffer under a range of coronavirus-related restrictions enforced by the Queensland government. \n\nMr Higgins said restrictions on trading days had cost him $60,000 dollars over the last two months in lost revenue.\n\n“If you add it up across the whole industry it’s probably a nine-billion-dollar cost across the state where we’ve got 250,000 people working in the tourism and hospitality industry in Queensland,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray. \n\n“That is 250,000 families and lives effected by the COVID-19 shut-down”. \n\nMr Higgins said, the loss of the “drive market” from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, the cancellation of flights from Sydney and Melbourne and the complete lack of international visitors had really “hurt” business. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia

'The disease is actually on the way up': WHO issues COVID-19 warningAs countries look to reopen their borders the World Health Organization issues a stark warning that the disease is 'actually on the way up' and takes specific aim at Brazil, which is looking to ease restrictions despite being a coronavirus hotspot. Oh really WHO? Really? Fook those guys. What a load of dribble. The virus is trivial, it’s gone, it was never a big deal. If we all acted on what ABC said though we would be in nuclear bunkers waiting it out The WHO. was responsible to warn the world that it was a pandemic when this virus hit China where were they. Warning people after thousands already died.......
