Some of the main roads in northern Sydney are steadily quietening down. I’ve still only heard of one motorist having their motives interrogated, and I suspect there was prior reason (driving like a **** in a new BMW) for the attention he received.
There are benefits in driving a tradie ute with tradie junk on the passenger floor and a tape measure on the seat... Always working. ![]() |

Very quiet here. Not that I am on the roads very much. Kind of reminds me of Xmas day with the small amount of traffic. Only difference is that you then don't see the cars congregating together at some houses as you would on Xmas day.
And I noticed a lot more people out walking and riding their bikes yesterday. Yesterday was a beautiful day here (23 degrees) and today is cooler and wet, so maybe people were making the most of the good weather. Don't blame them. Still amazes me as to how many aren't observing the 1.5m separation requirement. Especially those in the late teens to mid 20s age bracket.

i think going for a drive , or motorbike should be allowed. i like checking out the southern highlands nsw, exter, bowral etc. by car, its so picturesque. i also like a motr bike ride too. now ,wheres the harm in all that?
i wouldn,t like a copper busting my chops and getting a $1000 fine, in the past i,ve been on the receiving end of uptight ocd cops, and its ridiculous. i,m lucky , i,m on acreage, however, many aren,t , getting out for a drive goes towards good mental health! |

The place is a bloody ghost town at night after around 6pm when those that have gone to work have left. Coles still very busy and have adjusted their opening hours but most stores closed with notices on the window and very few people out and about. Should take a video for future reference.

Fatality rate starting to creep up now, expect it to get worse, many people on ventilators that won't survive extubation when the time comes.
Read a piece supposedly written by a frontline doctor in the US that said 84% of ventilated patients don't survive extubation as the lungs are beyond supporting normal function and the elderly can only be ventilated for so long before it introduces additional complications, not good at all. |

I believe that video was found to be from a restaurant outside of China, like Bhutan or Burma.

So even with the restrictions in the SUpermarkets are you guys seeing a slow reduction in available stock? Coles frozen shelves were looking slim today.

I'm sure no body would be offended if you were asked to provide ID and a medicare card to prove the qty of family members they are buying for. I'm also buying for my family as well as a few elderly people and have to buy stuff then put it in the car then return to buy more. One pimple faced 15 year old tried to pull me up for doing that with toilet paper.... Asked me if I had just been in 5 minuted before to buy the same item. I said no, but then again it's 1 per transaction so who are they to play SJW when in actual fact I'm following their own rules.

Lucky here in Canberra, when I went to Costco and Aldi yesterday everything was stocked and barely any people around, got everything i needed for another two weeks. Maybe the hoarders have too much food here and have started using it ![]()

maybe the pollies don,t understand, because you now have to go shopping 3,4 times a week, your now exposing yourself and your family (cause they will catch it from the shopper) to a lot greater chance of getting the chinese flu. go figure?? its not rocket science, just show the medicare card, start a big family register, there got to be a better way. hey, but don,t run along a beach by yourself. good luck with it. |

Best way to shop those main 2, get there early I was advised and told the wife I'm doing it ont he way to work.
Couldn't believe it was the first time in 3wks I actually saw TP on the shelf ! and paper towels yesterday morn. What bugs me can't get any sanitizers or dettol for eg, like ffs that is a joke. I thought where else, scored hand cleaner and carton of nitrile diposal gloves at - rip every c off - win win.
