I haven’t had any alcohol since they shut the pubs almost a month ago. I don’t normally drink at home.
Alcohol consumption at home has skyrocketed at homes across the country.
As for punting my pub hangovers usually are the reason I punt so I’m coping ok without it.
I had hoped to do some road tripping around NSW in August so hopefully we can at least travel around our state
by then. Rescheduling to later in this year is ok with me though.
I think this is unfair to bogans to say they act like women.Quote:

Should we start a poll on when we think the shops might re open? Guessing mid May at this stage myself, but that could be wishful thinking as well. Really missing my remedial massage place. They closed a week before the official orders based on their industry recommendation and my back is killing me most mornings
At least I am saving a tonne of money from not punting, eating out, pokies, drinking and coffees lol.
My penis will be raw when the lockdown is finished! [emoji23]

Looks like remedial massage could open up, but of course it is up to the individual business and their own risk management practices.
Might see some shops rebranding as ‘remedial massage only’, however I believe you need a certificate IV to be claiming you are doing a real remedial massage.
My massage shop is a legit remedial place. One of the few that have been able to keep me fairly pain free for a year or so.
They must be members of AMT and shut down on 20/3 for 2 weeks. Forced closures came in during their self imposed shutdown. Not sure if they would reopen in the current climate or not.

The ironic thing is that unlicensed R&T shops will re-open long before legit licensed brothels and long before legit R&T shops with a full brothel licence eg Misty's, 227 Broadway.
massage shops were closed at the same time as nail salons (deemed similar contact)..... pollie's wives will be hounding hubby to open the nail salons, so when they open, so will massage places I expect... but yeah prob not till mid-late May at earliest ...
I think shops are reading into Remedial or therapeutic massage services can open, but if you click on the close tab, it said massage parlours should remain closed.Quote:

I wouldn't go near any venue until the fines are lifted. That is one month of punting money for me, not worth it.

The info I've got from sources at government level is that the international travel won't resume until next year. State travel may change sooner though.
So sounds like it's local girls for the rest of the year, no fresh imports.
It's amusing the way that people here just roll over and think a lockdown police state is justified because of a second-rate virus which only affects the sick and the old. They start repeating government slogans like "stop the spread" or "we can do this togther", it's like somthing out of a third-rate 30s propaganda reel. I remember speaking to an African friend of mine last week and he said in Africa no one gives a shit about Covid19 because there are issues like basic sanitation and nutrition that kill more children and people than Coronavirus ever will; there aren't very many people over 80, and given that 90% of CV19 deaths are over 80, it basically doesn't affect them; the same would be true in India except their government, like all governments, absolutely relishes this chance to put their entire popluation under house arrest, and so will indirectly kill masses of people more than the virus ever could. And to those who have assimilated the restrictions so deeply that they start to 'enjoy them' because it makes them see the benefits of clean living, oh that is truly sad.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution around the world. If there is something positive to take from this terrible crisis, it has offered a taste of fresh air in some of the world's most polluted countries.
Let's consider China which emits over 50% of all the nitrogen dioxide in Asia. The Chinese capital Beijing, known for the lung-choking levels of toxic pollution that shroud the city, has had the unusual sight of clear skies as factories in the region have shut down production. Measurements from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-5P satellite showed that during late January and early February 2020, levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) over cities and industrial areas in Asia and Europe were lower than in the same period in 2019, by as much as 40%.
With crowds gone, popular tourist sites around the world have reported lower pollution levels. The famous canals in Venice, Italy have been cleaner than they have been for years and air quality in the city has also improved due to the lockdown.
This isn’t a second rate virus have you seen what is happening overseas? There is no vaccine like the flu yet. Thousands of people are dead. Millions are sick. Just cause Australia hasn’t’ got the brunt of it doesn’t make it second rate. It doesn’t just effect the sick & the old again look at overseas.Quote:

If it did hit Africa Millions would die because they still don’t have the hospitals the rest of the world have. Look at New York they probably have the best hospitals in the world & they are struggling.
As for clean living other than punting this might shock you but some people on here probably don’t drink or smoke.
If people have changed habits because of Covid19 that’s their business. Some of us live week to week & can’t punt every week
& we might do it every 3rd week. I go to the pub 3 or 4 times a week with mates & get in rounds so I’m saving money. I just go to massage places so when this over I might even afford a punt at Ginza or just have my holiday without having to worry about how poor I’ll be when I get back.
Yeah but 99.99% of them won’t die.Quote:

Haven't seen anything official, but have heard from a couple of shops they believe massage is now considered an essential service, makes me wonder where they got their info from.Quote:
