Closing non-essential business due to COVID-19

[123WTF]

This is madness. Going to be a tough time for all going forward..

[quackm2002]

Madness? This is a necessity. If the government had initiated all this two months ago, we would have it under complete control in Australia now. It’s all those people coming back from overseas bringing in back who have caused chaos. I’d have shut it down completely. If we have to sacrifice 0.5% to protect 99.5%, easy decision

There will be restrictions on travel so even if private’s try to operate it will be difficult to see them. Plus with all your family at home it will be hard to make any excuses like “just off to Bunnings for an hour or two” for you to punt as everything will be closed.

Anyway as AH says, the regular punters will save lots of money so there is a plus side.

The biggest problem will be the WL’s and ML’s as they can’t work so no money and if they get sick in Australia and have no medical cover over here, they are in deep trouble.

God save us all.

Just watched the movie Contagion. Watch it as it mirrors what we are seeing now with an out of control virus.

There will be travel restrictions, but not as part of this non essential business shutdown. People (at the moment) will still be free to come and go as they like.

But restrictions aside who in their right mind would under these circumstances risk it. I’m surprised shops haven’t shut up before now.

In the meantime give the porn sites and missus Palmer and her five daughters a work out. If that gets boring swap hands.

The PM's message tonight about closure of non essential services applies to places of social gatherings. It doesn't suggest brothels or massage shops. The places to be closed from tomorrow mid-day include clubs, bars, places of worship, casino, cinemas, indoor sporting venues and gyms. Shopping centres and schools are not required to close. Shops like beauty salons are not required to close. It sounds like adult venues are not affected under stage 1 of closures. The NSW and Victorian states wanted to go further but the federal government didn't want to go that far at this stage.

I wonder if all the hotels in town will be closed too, where can those customers go ?

There must be still a lot of overseas people in those large 5 Star hotels like the Hilton ?

[mkkid]

We are open daily... for takeaways too

BC's informed me that Taylor’s in Lidcombe have just informed him that they are closing their two shops in Lidcombe and Brookvale for safety reasons

In a small room and the virus stays on surfaces for ages. The first bloke that catches it in any shop will be able to retire with the payout he will get when he sues.

I'm interested to know the sue part.

185 military road is closing also

[gentleguy]

Yeah don't think i'll be punting for awhile. Good excuse to stay home. Maybe look into getting a VR headset and watch VR porn.

[jason748]
