Hopefully Gutwein changes his mind, 2 days ago it was still full steam ahead on opening to SA/NT/WA.
i really don't understand why supermarkets wouldn't immediately reimpose the buying restrictions as soon as the news hit

A few restaurants in Newcastle are now shut for cleaning and people under isolation because of a visitor from Sydney who tested positive.
I get that you may have to move around, maybe there is a reason to drive North for work or similar. But FFS don't go out to the pub for a schnitty and beer just for the sake of it.

Yeah, Wallsend Diggers and Hotel Jesmond. Fucking hell aye. People there on the 29th (Hotel Jesmond) and 30th (Wallsend Diggers) need to isolate.
I was in Japan for pretty much all of January and this was kicking off basically when I got back. I don't think I have been to the pub this entire year.

I bought a new monitor last week to avoid straining my neck while remote teaching on my MacBook. Today, I made a quick trip to Officeworks to pickup a new keyboard, mouse and webcam to complete my workspace. It was maddening. People were going crazy, with queues extending from the checkouts to the back of store. I saw some people with three or more desk chairs in their trollies. I had never seen the store so busy.
Ive only had one altercation with an idiot so far.
I was across the road and he was cycling on the other side of the road. He stopped across from me and covered one nostril at a time and just blew everything in his nose out into the gutter/sidewalk. I yelled at him, called him a grubby cunt etc (there were others nearby walking dogs and such) He crossed the road as if he was going to start shit but when I got angrier he ended up leaving. This was last week.

What on earth has gotten into people.
Also LOL @ desk chairs
Were there loads of people who were meaning to buy one that hadn't
I'd be hoarding memory sticks or dunno phone chargers lol
Actually in march when my bf transitioned to WFH we went to officeworks and they were nearly cleared out of computer chairs
theres was definitely a shortage and I assume any companies that where stragglers on the WFH policy are now being forced to do so
another thing in shortage since march is dongles
Great news!

If anyone is looking to buy face masks:
I just went to get my groceries for the week and was pleasantly surprised at how many people were wearing masks, especially given this is a relatively small and out of the way town. Coles workers were all masked up and people on the registers were wearing face shields too.
Hopefully the adoption rate continues to increase.

The school drop off this morning was surprisingly easy. I think a bunch of people in my area were either scared off or are waiting for test results to come back. I haven't seen traffic this sparse since that weird transition period where prep to year 2 had come back but nobody else had.

Not sure if it was confirmation bias, but I noted a lot more here in the Sydney area I'm in (was the first time I've been into a shopping centre in two weeks and the first time I've been in wearing a mask myself). About 5% of the people wearing masks were wearing them as chin warmers though.
We got our cloth masks... look okay.
My dad, amazingly, tried to sterilise some disposable ones in the microwave because he read about it on whatsapp and it fucking caught fire. no damage but i was pretty steamed at him. at least he's not a weirdo mask denier i guess.

It was always amazing to me that we kept retail open this long tbh. In the first lockdown I could still go to Mecca Maxima (and It think the one near was still open last week) and Country Road lol.
Back home in UK everywhere including mcdonalds shut for a month.
I guess until recently our numbers were simply not bad enough to justify closing everything
Does the above imply restaurants/take away close? It's not listed in unaffected businesses.

Take-away and delivery seems unaffected mostly. Curfew will apply to take-away and supermarket hours.
Yeah it's weird to compare. Australia has been much, much better about border control, track and trace and putting new arrivals in quarantine, but the early UK measures were stronger for combatting community transmission.
My company just advised the front doors of our RETAIL business will be closing as of 11.59pm on Wednesday.
I suspect there will be skeleton staff to fulfil click and collect orders and possibly commercial orders too.
Unbelievable. I literally haven't had a haircut since COVID kicked off, which even I'll admit was overkill (should've gone during low number season) but there's no fucking way I'd be getting my haircut now no matter how downright disgusting it's gotten.
