Royal Melbourne Hospital doctor hit with parking fine says inspectors are targeting health workers during coronavirus crisis

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-11/melbourne-icu-doctor-gets-parking-fine-after-treating-covid-1...

why are hospital workers not exempt from parking fines?

From the article, sounds like the issue has been fixed - not just for this doctor but for other hospital workers. Credit goes to the Council for responding quickly and positively.

Gray ghosts have been ordered to just issue infringements for parking over drive ways etc 

Must be an omegaman movie moment for those still having to drive and park in Melbourne cbd

The council may have a point if health workers are parking illegally in places where their cars are causing undue risk to other road users though.

We have a street where people often park illegally. The gap between cars becomes that narrow that it is hard to get through in a normal car. A fire truck, bus or any other larger vehicle would have no hope. I have often wondered what would happen if a fire truck got caught up trying to get through the maze of stupidly parked cars.

There needs to be a bit of common sense shown by everyone concerned.

Time to evaluate mitigation measures for children , before conditions here possibly conspire for mass infections as per currently in America 

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/over-97k-children-in-u-s-test-positive-for-coronavirus-in-2-we...

maybe time to commission issue specific research groups to rationally evaluate and report on overseas developments and enable the determining of local relevance and/or pre-emptive mitigation 

This is not going to go away by itself and will not be restricted to boomers

Now suspected as having been started by a quaratine breaker , as the genome sequence is not of a local variant - an intensive hunt is in progress....

Dont listen to this till we find out for sure.

People al; over the world said NZ was stupid to lock down over 4 people got the virus, in 3 days we now have 13 and more to come.

This is how it spreads so fast,

4 people can lead to 400 them 4000 and still some idiots dont want to wear a mask or use sanitizer
