All Australian schools are still open, which is consistent with our official advice.

Not all, some private schools have opted to close and have online classes.

My kids have been home the last 3 days. And our school sent a message out last night informing us that a parent has tested positive, they don't do any work around the school, their child will not be at school and that the school was cleaned overnight. My kids have sniffles so they're home.

A guy at work has a mate high up in the NSW police force and apparently tomorrow we'll hear of schools and some public transport closures.

Is that guy a few posts up denying this is happening or what?

I don't think so, dime. There's no argument for denial.

[McParadigm]

Agencies are getting communiques and waiting for decisions to be made by two entirely different response teams, one of them a collection of the president’s son-in-law’s friends.

[dimejinky99]

Are we all in agreement this is Fucking bad? For everyone?

It could be worse in America than anywhere. But seems to be denial about that from certain quarters. Nobody wants that. But when it happens what then?

[McParadigm]

At least three of those things are just exploiting the crisis to push political agendas.

Lefty politics strike again

Cthulhu swims slowly, but he always swims to the left.

[McParadigm]

Can’t tell if that’s you complimenting the left or what

[BurtReynolds]
