my comment t about boomers was simpmy in reference to the behaviours I saw from then in my area when this all kicked off. After lockdown. They were the only ones not following the guidelines. I heard a few comment how great it was as the coffee shops were emptier. Let’s not forget those two that started the northern beaches outbreak.

strange because in places like the UK and I suspect here also, it is the twenty somethings that are the main offenders. I can’t see many boomers going to secret raves or having house parties with a hundred people, etc etc.,, but continue your anti boomer rant. And I don’t think it was boomers who were bonking the hotel guests in isolation they were meant to be guarding....

It puzzles me how people who won’t follow Public Health Orders in the middle of a pandemic can be considered fit and proper people to hold a pilots licence? I mean if you can’t follow simple orders in the middle of a global pandemic what other rules and regulations are beneath you? Speeding, drink driving, flying with medication you shouldn’t?
Zanthus, Gupter, JJ, care to contribute? asking for a friend
To Keep on topic how do we expect people to follow the rules to contribute to opening the borders when apparently there are pilots? Out there who won’t follow the same rules?

The spread of Covid19 is based on two factors:
1. How Dense the population is
2. How Dense the population is
or
The longer we don't comply with Social Distancing, the longer we are going to have to do it!
or, a little more light hearted,
Is Covid 19 serious?
The Churches and Casino's are closed, when Heaven and Hell agree, it's probably better to stay at home.

It is obvious if they are employed flying aeroplanes in Australian terminals they have to wear a mask, so those who say they are refusers are not employed as Australian airline pilots or are lying.

Can I turn to a different topic, Premier, although at the same time it is also returning to a topic we have already discussed, which is a decision about private security. You may be aware that the Board has heard from multiple witnesses about the fact that private security became and were the first line of enforcement. And that there's considerable disagreement amongst those various witnesses about when and by whom that decision was made. Are you familiar in general terms with the nature of the evidence that the Board has received?
A. Yes, Ms Ellyard, I am.
Q. And the evidence is to the effect that no one is claiming ownership of the
decision, even though no one seems to have spoken against it at the time and no one 5 who might have been the decision maker seems to suggest that if it had been them, it would have been a bad decision. There's just no one who says it was them. Are you
aware of that?
A. I am.
Q. Do you know who it was?
A. No, I don't. That's the nature of the decision I made. That's why I set up this
Board of Inquiry or recommended to the Governor to set up this Board of Inquiry, to 15 get exactly that answer and quite a few others, Ms Ellyard.

Unfortunately, many of the discussions here and on the web pivot around disputed events such as this and only serve to elevate the emotion and demote the facts to merely a footnote.
and it has everything to do with it as the report was a sham. It was provided as evidence to refute ... so

Unless you wear masks properly and change them at a maximum of every 2 hrs - whilst having sterilised hands etc, masks do nothing but collect bacteria and other nasties.
Consider the average face mask, sits in the car for a week, spends another week in jeans pocket, gets put on face, gets taken off face by contaminated hand, goes back in pocket, repeat this 50 times. Add the time the mask sits on the floor, licked by the dog etc etc.
A friend of mine who is a microbiologist had one of these masks tested in a lab. To put it bluntly, it was like licking a public bathroom floor.

Many will complain about closed borders etc but i know right now where i would rather be.

Never seen a mask used/stored like that.
But is similar to how a headset is treated.
