Australia had been doing really well with controlling the virus.

We got top of it quickly and effectively, I think it is only 104 passed away in total. We have eased restrictions gradually on a state by state basis, Melbourne has just gone back into a 6 week lockdown from today, but the rest of the country doesn't need to. Yet. Hope they manage to get it back under control soon.

Crazy scenes in Belgrade last night. They are back in lockdown, and weekend curfews resume. This will happen in several European capitals soon..

Same happened in Weston iirc mate, no doubt the government have learned something from the experience. I think the article highlighted a lack of full PPE.

This face masks issue.
As far as I believe, up until the last 24 hrs, the overwhelming information regarding the wearing of masks has been that by doing so, you, the user, are protecting others from any infection from you. Wearing a mask will not protect you from others. I am of course talking of the disposable and fashionable type being sported by the general public.
Now all of a sudden, these masks can protect you due to the newly researched decision that the virus can attach itself to minute vapour droplets in the atmosphere. .
The great and the good scientists have only now found this out? I'm smelling bull here. This just a scaremongering exercise to get us wearing them all the time.

Yeah, nonsense that scientific research takes time.

Sharia law for all they wail...Where is Tommy when you need him defending our liberal value's.

Don't think it's rocket science that wearing a mask is going to at least reduce possible transmission and that cannot be a bad thing.

Inside public areas and built up areas in towns and cities, think it's foolish not be wearing one.

I'm inferring that at the very beginning of this emergency, this would have been one of the first considerations. In other words "should we tell public to wear masks at all times". From the start, it's been a resounding nah!
But now, as is the current culture, it's as if the advisors have said to support the minority who are wearing masks full time, we'll float this story so more will wear them.
