COVID-19 discussion

Defiantly. Level 4 would be prohibitive in regional areas anyway.

Why? What's different?

Impossible to limit how far people can travel from their homes. There are localities with no services at all.

not really. Just make it that you aren't allowed to travel further than necessary to get the essential service required.

We jinxed it. All of NSW goes to level 4 restrictions 0001 Monday morning.

Sorry to hear. Level 4 is horrible. Been there, done that. How long is the L4 going for?

Just a week for now. But have just heard cases have spread to Bourke, Mudgee and Bathurst. Shouldn't be a surprise if it goes longer.

Just announced. NSW "gold standard" contract tracing gave up listing contact sites in West and South West Sydney a few days ago.

NSW Health will continue to list close contact sites for Regional NSW.

To be fair, they have listed ALL of Greater Sydney as a potential exposure site, hence the lockdown restrictions.

If one wades through the lists, they were generally historic anyway.
i.e.

On 5 August, Bunnings xxx  between the hours of 1pm and 2pm.

On 8 August, The ladies toilet at xxx shopping centre between the hours of 3 pm and 3.15 pm

etc etc.

Many of the sites that were listed are sites that should not be visited under lockdown in any case.

NZ in level 4 lockdown from midnight. Entire country.

We jinxed it here on V8 Central! Can't believe it

On the nightly ABC Aboriginal representative show, The DRUM, a list of NSW regional areas in trouble with Codid19 was supplied by a Doctor.

One of the "at risk" Aboriginal areas listed was Bathurst.

It is not looking good for the Annual Endurance Race. Maybe it should revert to it's Historical home this year, but Victoria is also in trouble, it seems. Maybe they should move it to Ipswich.

can you imagine 1000k's around the hairpin

The Bend would be a better choice

Geez, we didn't even bother climbing through the 500s. We'll just jump from the 400s to 600s instead.

Such is the confusion in NSW. We're not doing nearly enough.
