All borders to reopen.
Name and Shame?
How is it - half of us are doing the right thing - yet some people persist to do the wrong thing and continue to operate and break laws after being penalised...?

If you have ever tried picking mangoes, you would be aware it is not for everyone and not everyone is/can be good at it.
As soon as the borders are open will we see you apply? - I will not try it again.

We keep having holidays in WA.]
if that is the case, maybe we will see a movie such as Papilion on WA Devil Island?

short flights long nights
So if you leave the “Sovereign State of WA” and perhaps visit Relo’s or friends in say QLD, NSW will you be able to return, or are you banished from the Kingdom for ever...at least until the whole country has had 28 days of no community transmission.

You don’t have to look far
Yes they had a high death rate amongst aged care homes. But within this bad news there are numerous stories of homes with NO deaths. They were the ones that were proactive and moved ahead of the government rules.
Things like:
- staff are only allocated to one centre
- preventing cross contamination between areas within individual centres
- limiting or stopping family visits during high case numbers
- no casual staff (all staff have paid sick leave so they will actually stay home when slightly ill)
- proper PPE training and equipment for staff members
- providing proper medical care (including oxygen) to COVID patients within aged care homes
Most of these things DID NOT happen in Australia as well. Especially in the Federally regulated centres. Even today its only VOLUNTARY that staff restrict themselves to working in one centre!!!
It’s not rocket science. The virus has been in the world for over 6 months now. There’s more than enough evidence of things that have worked to aim for better rules and regulations. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. We don’t even have to come up with some brilliant plan. Just proper allocation of resources were the threat actually lies (over 70’s) would be a good start.
Open the borders between states.
Masks in all shopping centres, buses etc.
Protect our aged care homes and prioritise services that allow over 70’s to avoid public areas as much as possible (like home delivery, home medical visits, etc).
Let the rest of us get back to work as much as possible. The only thing saving us so far is JobKeeper. Watch how fast public sentiment changes next year when unemployment really starts to bite. When more people start losing homes.
Sweden and other countries that went through a proper wave in March/April have plenty of “good news stories” about how to protect the vulnerable.

Ah Yes Sweden again!
Remember the Cross Roads Hotel; one infection from interstate and there goes the NSW run of containment. It only takes one to start it all as Melbourne has seen; containment only happens when everyone is on board. At the moment that will not happen while people are following their own self interest.
The experts say better than 80% compliance with social distancing and heigene is what you need to sustain containment. According to to the CHO Victoria was around 85%; in June that was 25% and kahboom.
My side of MEL over the lat couple of days has been like a f***ing boxing day sale. The sun comes out and the masks (if people are bothering) are in their pockets or under their chins.
If that's not bad enough, the non-believers will be out in force tomorrow to protest the lock-down they themselves are perpetuating.
How the f*** do you protect the vulnerable; let alone the population against a bunch of f***wits who don't give a crap?

Don’t try to speak for all WA pilots! Mark McMuppet is now way out of his league and history will not treat him well. WA is not it’s own country run by the dictatorship of the state Labor party. It’s very easy to skew polls and media coverage in today’s world. Sandgropers are nowhere nearly as content with the current leadership and their dictatorial directives as you may have been blindly lead to believe. Stupid is as stupid does.
As an adjunct, do your own research into why McMuppet suddenly has more security and minders.

there’s an absolute majority of the country right now that aren’t locked down, and living in near ‘normality’. That can and is being preserved. That’s also what’s keeping the country ticking as well as it is. This idea that we can open up, and go back to normal is absurd. The countries that have tried this have seem much more economic harm than we have and live day to day with the virus. As much as this all hurts right now this is in my opinion the best way to get as many of us back to work, as quickly as sustainably possible.
The objective should be a medium, long term one. Not a short term view.

Mark McGowan is going to look like a dick if everyone else opens borders this December while the poor folks out west are just waiting...waiting...until the 13th March, then bang, borders open.
