Speculation about opening timeline for shops

[lamb]

Even if name and contact numbers are asked for, all shops need to do is write what you tell them. They’re not obliged to verify it.

I won't give my name and real data (phone number or whatever), never!

The government website that covers (in almost plain english) what is and is not allowed in NSW is here: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/what...do-under-rules
and indeed it confirms that all massage shops will be able to re-open from the 13th of June

It is looking more and more like the prevalence of the virus in the community is getting close to zero.
It's stating the obvious but can't you catch a virus from someone if they don't actually have it.
You can both lick each other from head to toe and you will be fine.
The early implementation of the ban on tourists/students etc entering Australia stopped the virus from entering the country on a large scale.
And the small amount of carriers that did enter Australia didn't get a chance to spread it because of the lockdown, social distancing etc.
So now we are at a stage where the amount of people in the community with the virus is close to zero.
Given this reality it is hard to justify keeping businesses closed, destroying peoples livelihoods, and plunging the country into recession for much longer.
That's why we have seen an acceleration in lots of bans being lifted on various businesses in the last couple of weeks.
Brothels will be one of the last bans to be lifted but even so it looks more and more like bans will be lifted in the next month.
So I reckon before the end of July brothels will be back.
As long as bans on people entering the country remain or at least there is a compulsory police enforced 14 day quarantine on anyone entering the country we can pretty much get on with our lives.
The virus just simply is not out there in significant numbers, and it is getting less and less every day.

I suspect you may well be right Rooter as to the time frame.
Of course it is critical to them staying open that we make sure this virus is dead-as-a-dodo in Oz.

almost all recent NSW new cases were people coming in from overseas ( also 1 interstate, 2 unknown as yet). there hasn't been a single known case of local transmission for 6 days in a state with population 7.5 million. i support the government being somewhat cautious but the risk of infection for an individual at this point is negligible.

I concur JimJam. I am going to a funeral next week and only 50 people going truly sucks in this case. It will sort of work

Had a friend in Brisbane lose her father last month, only 10 people allowed to the funeral. I cried with her......

The shop near me is back open ... seems they are BAU ... a ML txt me to see her at her 'friend's' home ... not sure which one to go to ...

What a much better place society has been with all the casinos (cathedrals of false hope), gyms (monuments of narcissism), brothels (shrines of sexual immaturity), places of worship (ignorance and narrowmindedness in bricks and mortar), bars and cafes (temples of pretentiousness) etc closed.
So much more civilised.
These have been the best 2 months in the history of Australia.
Beautiful, so much beauty out there.
But yeah I will punt, eat, drink, and gamble again when they are back, Fuck yeah! Why not! LOL!
Enjoy!

Only nightclubs will remain closed
