Oh we are so precious here

not really . . . I just can’t see how coughing at or near a health professional could be seen as a ‘party joke’ to prompt a reaction during a pandemic.

Maybe you could explain it?

I do think that the whole concept of coughing as a party trick during a pandemic demonstrates a pretty twisted thought process.  To also think I am the precious one . . . evidence shows you unable to handle legitimate criticism. Get help!

I just submitted my on-line grocery order with Woolies - priority assistance, mind you,

and the earliest I can have them is Thursday.      Four bleedin' days...for groceries?

Well...it's as Mr Trump says...the more you test, the more cases you'll find...

Cases do not immediately translate into deaths...

...wash your hands, observe social distancing, keep to yourself if you have symptoms.... pretty much a case of hygiene, really...

---

Yes, the more you test, the more cases you find and the more people you can help. But Trump wants to reduce testing so he can pretend the problem doesn't exist and not look so incompetent. He has abandoned the American people - they now are expendable.

It pretty much is a case of hygiene and common sense. But America claims they are leading the way in fighting this virus. Lets hope the Victorians who were not practicing good hygiene and using common sense were not doing so because they listened to Trump. I would prefer to think they became complacent. They are way above the victims being infected by Trump's garbage.

---

I do not think Prez Trump is much on the mind of most Victorians regarding health guidelines - however the worry is if our advisory  technocrats are following the US actions ... that is a worry, as our contagion circumstances and national character , allocation of resources and support , demeanor of the people are very different and so timings , agenda and strategy should be different 

Take note when there are changes in heath mitigation requirements , where they follow soon after the northern hemisphere changes 

We have a chance to eradicate the virus, as  like polio and small-pox , and so remain nationally functional , with the means and determination to take stock and improve for the better  ( need to change focus from the fixation on international tourism for the moment)

Business sector window dressing - looking like adapting to a better 21st century customer support but not effectively - no competition, no motivation to impliment required additional services and allocation of human resources 

New fast delivery online trading support will create a better standard of living life - with people more inclined to get things done , having quick and convenient access to one-off goods - applicatable down almost all sized town populations and suburbia

How much extra for a single item from a hardware store delivered within a couple of hours ? 

Worth a couple of extra dollars to avoid a trip to the local retail cbd

I like to have fresh food in the fridge, so 2 -3 weeks doesn't suit.

A couple of extra dollars multiplied by how many items? For near-instantaneous delivery it would end up being quite a chunk. Just the running costs of the delivery vehicle would be more than a couple of dollars, not to mention the driver's wages. So if nobody else in the area had ordered from that store in a very short time it would be a lot more than a couple of dollars.

A lot of people aren't working and are living on jobkeeper, which ends in a couple of months, and some of us don't get any government support and certainly can't afford to pay somebody to deliver stuff to us.

As is usually the case, Pauline, simplistic 'solutions' to complex issues are rarely practicable.
