Wow even non essential construction and repairs will be shut down on Monday.
They don't want tradies entering people's homes.

Yes Gladys should have cracked down on the virus immediately when it started in the eastern suburbs rather than wait for it to move to the south west and other areas. Now it's all out of control and we're all paying the price for her slow action in tackling this virus.
NSW Gov wanted to demonstrate how good NSW was to control the virus. The "gold standard"... So they can say "see, you don't have to shut everything down to control it", looking straight at Victoria. Well it didn't work did it? Completely blew up in their faces!
It would be quite funny if it wasn't so tragic!
On hindsight everything is easy… when Dan locked Victoria everyone jumped on him as Dictator… if Gladys had acted early there would be things said about her as well… We all wanted borders opened and we all made noise about fellow countrymen, women and mostly international students being locked out…imagine if Scotty was to open boarders and restore flights close to per pandemic…. There is no right and wrong it’s only a hindsight privilege and privilege used by those who do not need to make decisions.
Meanwhile Canberra ex porn capital of the world remains the Oz punt capital … 0 community transmissions
This reminds me of a skit

Pretty funny
at about 7 min and I quote
This is simply not true."This myth of an asymptomatic transmission, which simply not true. Which I've mentioned earlier. In order to transmit a virus, to be good efficient source of infection. You have to have a lot of virus, and if you have a lot of virus in you, the virus is attacking you, and you are fighting back. That process produces symptoms inevitably. It's not just occasionally. IT MUST ALWAYS HAPPEN."
HIV lays dormant in someone for decades before it turns into full blown aids. They're infectious.
Papillomavirus is often dormant in males and they don't even realise they have it (no symptoms). Then transmit it to Females during sex.
Hepatitis C Chronic, contagious, no symptoms.
Herpes, can be transmitted without sores showing (signs) or feeling if itchiness (symptoms)
(Last two eg, of course is following the first round of getting sick. But it goes to show that you can have a viral load, be infectious but not be symptomatic)
And that's just the list of STDS viruses.
Respiratory viruses like all viruses in itself doesn't cause signs and symptoms. It's the damaged cells and the body's response that cause the signs/symptoms. (coughing sneezing running nose, mucus, failing liver, no immune system.)
how contageous you are depends
on the virual load you need to be infectious.
since the virus starts to replicate itself the moment you get infected. The viral load increase from day 1. So does the virus carried in the breathing touching saliva.
Since viral load is small to start and slowly ramp up.
When you're infectious is usually correlated to the vial load needed to infect someone. If a large quantity is required. Then you may not be infectious until you become symptomatic. But if only a tiny amount is required, you may be infectious well before you realise you caught something.
This is overly simplified.
But if what this guy saying is true that it ALWAYS needs a lot of virus. Then what's R0?
Some virus are simply more easily transmitted vs others where you need a decent amount to be infected.

On a separate note.
GPS, you're phone and google knows where you've been.
The construction industry have been out of work for less than a week and are the biggest complainers.
It says mental health, it should say they need to punt as well.
Construction industry warns firms will fold and jobs will be lost if Sydney COVID-19 lockdown is extended

But on a serious note, I had no idea the suicide rate was high amongst construction workers.
