Been serious talk of pre-flight testing for passengers and flight crew for return flights - as I suppose the test kits are quick results now

CBD located hotels are starting to look a bit iffy - I thought converted air conditioned shipping containers located on a remote coast , units 100 meter separation, would lend itself to less chance of an outbreak - fishing , swimming , beach combing , stroll in the dunes , support visitations twice a day , just have to put up with a monitoring bracelet ( only activated if wondering to far or signs of stress - like stepping on a puffer fish) , deck chairs , bar fridge - not a bad inconvenience - probably not even notice the passing of an infection.

better than video games and staring at the wall  - and better peace of mind for the rest of us 

rogespeed, I initially misread what you wrote: "just have to put up with a monitoring bracelet (only activated if wandering* too far or signs of stress - like stepping on a puffer fish)."

I thought, Wouldn't the monitoring bracelet giving a shock like the sensation of having stepped on a puffer fish - on a PUFFER FISH, for goodness' sake! - be rather a harsh response to the person having wandered off a little?

Then of course, I realised what you'd meant.

*I had to correct the "wondering" and "to". The red pencil compunsion was strong in me. I contemplated including [sic] but ultimately went with the blatant correction option.

UK strain is now in Qld and Hospitals and Aged care in lockdown in some areas with no visitors.

Greater Brisbane goes into lockdown from tonight due to the UK variant outbreak.

Lockdown announcement sparks panic buying at Brisbane supermarkets (msn.com)

Really?   It's 3 DAYS people!

If Brisbane starts seeing too many cases per day and this strain is as bad as they say my view is the lockdown may continue. Unfortunately I gather many did not leave correct contact details required making contact tracing impossible.   

Qld 9 new cases overnight

Talk of extending lock down to Sunny Coast, guess I better loadup on toilet rolls, though still not sure why ????

Well the bracelet activation upon wondering to far , to enforce distancing, is to preserve privacy - need not monitor whereabouts within the designated living space (VIC excepted) , and as for the reference to stepping on a spikey puffy fish - was just a little levity to ward off any trollish comments , my original example wass being eating by a shark , but I thought that was in bad taste ( pun unintended )
