Coronavirus (COVID-19) info and stories

[West Oz Cards]

This is pretty uncharted territory for most of the world with the complete lock-down of almost everything. IMO I think the Aus Gov acted a little too late with measures, but the geographic distance we are away from the worst impacted has helped us limit the initial infection rates and hopefully limits the spread of the virus at it's peak.

Let's hope current measures put us in good stead for reducing the impact.

Tough times ahead. I wish everyone the best in the upcoming months.

Police now randomly pulling over people to see where they are going. Shops? Show me receipt please.

Also have heard a group of concreters were fined $1k each (for the lot on the worksite) for not having adequate social distance.

Police car almost ran us over the other day driving on the grassed area down the beach as we were going back to the car..... don't know what was going on at that time but that arvo or the next day they said beaches were closed.

So you can walk on the bike track with 400 other people but the beach for fitness/mental health getting out of the house doesn't count apparently. makes total sense.
