Confusing. Returning Eu citizens are allowed Fly in but nobody else.

How’s that gonna work
Same way it's working here. Only flights into the country from Europe are allowed, if you aren't a citizen you are turned away

Welp my sister in law might have it

Fuck.

Mild fever, sore throat, dry cough, no aches yet. She took an online questionnaire and it recommended her not coming in for a test though.

Hmm

I thought a sore throat was NOT a symptom? Maybe she just has a normal cold

They only want people who have severe symptoms at this point to come in. I was a little worried because I have a cough but it is phlegm filled and related to allergies draining down, so we'll see.

Good luck to her, hopefully her symptoms don't get worse.

Yeah you may want to self-quarantine for 5 days or so to see if you develop anything.

The official Australian Government advice is that a sore throat is one of the key symptoms.

Mild headaches, sore throats, light coughs... all also symptoms of the changing seasons and stress. I wouldnt be too worried yet.

Some of the conspiracy theories are crazy. But one of her isnt. a kind of probable outcome of this is moving into a fully cashless society. Could see that happening here in Europe before the US. money is easily one of the bigger dangers in spreading it.



The UK still only testing hospital cases and telling people who think they’re infected just to stay home.

Mortality rate is going to fuckin explode there in the coming weeks. Insane approach

Some of the information floating around on Facebook is wild. I saw a post today that said if you can't find baby formula in store, you can call a number on the back of an empty can and they will send you 10 cases for free. And that all supermarkets in the state will be closed to everyone except seniors on Wednesday morning. There's also a much-shared phone number for AA conference calls while people are stuck at home, and I hope that one is real.

our borders are now closed to non residents and only 4 airports in the country will be allowing International flights.

Americans can still come.....for some reason.

... regarding working (i) on-site, (ii) remote from home, and (iii) on call from home, leadership and supervisors will be sending out emails today and, as necessary, tomorrow, on a rolling basis, notifying employees as to which group they fall in.

Employees working remotely from home and on call from home will be required to email an agreement to the terms of remote work. As these communications will be going out on a rolling basis, from different offices within our agency, you may have a colleague who receives an email notification before you do.

We appreciate your patience as these communications are sent. In the meantime, if you believe you are likely to be working or on call from home, please begin to make the preparations (copying files to OneDrive, gathering necessary hard copy documents, preparing your phone) to prepare to potentially work or be on call remotely.
I don't know which category I will fall in. I'm guessing I can be on call. I hope.

I've also heard some grumblings of more serious crackdown/shutdowns coming
