Finally!!!  I think it should have been recommended ages ago, and now it should be mandated on public transport.  If masks were recommended in the past years, it would have been easy to see who takes the COVID19 seriously and who does not give a damn. 

i had an ultrasound scan and was surprised that the technician did not wear one.  I did.

One of nine Melbourne public housing towers to remain in strict quarantine due to coronavirus infections

its prolly a good example of why these high rise slums are a bad idea

 

in saving money by 'housing' thousands on a small site we have built huge virus incubators

 

we certainly have become the clever country

 

we have millions of acres of vacant land in this country but we feel the need to house people in these stupid places

this, from a nurse, testing residents of the towers:

Paints a different picture to what many would have expected.

wonderful story

maybe the suburban community could take a lesson

i still think these high rise buildings are a breeding ground for a pandemic outbreak

and there should allways be mulitiple lifts so if 1 breaks down the residents dont have to climb stairs

216 new cases in Victoria today. Only 30 linked to known clusters, the rest under investigation. Lets hope the lock down puts the genie back in the bottle.

if everyone follows the restrictions that apply in their area then we should see a drop in daily numbers in a week.

Then, another 4 weeks of restrictions should see a further drop.

Even folk logic would suggest where lack of social distancing and still air is unavoidable , the wearing of masks would be mandatary 

So who is going to enforce that as in trains, train stations , elevators , shopping centres etc - in a nice way including handing out comlimentary masks to the unwary

You should have coughed as a party joke - and note the reaction ... 

Victorian healthcare workers continue to face shortages of PPE as coronavirus cases ramp up

getting an ultrasound is hardly a party thing!

Who would even think of doing such a thing?  A twisted mind I would think!

Sorry, but I don’t think it is something worth joking about . . . under any circumstance . . . not even in jest on these boards.
