We are going fairly well here in Australia with a population of 25 million, 4,800 cases but only 21 deaths. We have one of the highest testing ratio to population in the world which allows for finding those infected really early and quaranteening them early. There are 5,000 workers whose is to simply track every movement these infected people had for 14 days prior and getting every one of their contacts tested. Every worker who has been stood down and whose employer has had a 30% drop in income receive $750 a week gov payment, anyone renting is not allowed to be evicted and those paying a mortgage gets a 6 month reprieve from paying their mortgage.

Overall the infection curve is now flattening. Maximum of 2 people together, more if all from the same household but social distancing is enforced.

So we are going fairly well here in Australia

Just seen a news report about the stresses and strains of self isolation. It reported that people are going crazy from being in lock down!
It was strange, actually, because I had just been talking about this with the microwave and toaster and all of us agreed that things are getting bad. I didn't mention anything to the washing machine as she always has to put a different spin on everything, and certainly not to the fridge as he is acting cold and distant. In the end the iron calmed me down. She said everything will be fine, which surprised me because she’s usually the first one to apply unnecessary pressure and get steamed up over nothing !!! I think she might have been sneaking off to the medicine cabinet.

I hear this is like most of the UK, only in some areas are the police super anal-retentive and stop everyone and anyone. Probably when cameras are pointed at them and they have to work.

Yes this is true.
Sadly I think it’s the correct course of action to take but a lot of people would disagree. It’s probably best to make it a bit more humane and comforting, but the principle is, in my honest opinion, correct. As sad as that is. X
