This is what scares me and why I'll be setting up the bush house as somewhere I can work from remotely. At some point Victoria has to resume managing people flying in from overseas and I have little faith in them being able to do it successfully. |
It’s not a question of it will escape quarantine in Victoria again, it’s how well they manage the inevitable outbreak and whether Dan has any plans other than locking down the entire state again. |
Considering we're still months behind other states in getting software set up, and I have no faith the contact tracing has actually improved (it's easy with no cases) my reckoning is Lockdown will be Plan A when the inevitable happens and I plan to be out of here before it happens.
Spare computer is being renovated, got 2 2nd hand monitors, spare chair and renovated the old computer desk (I don't throw stuff away) so I'll be all set up. Going up Monday with a ute and trailer load full. I can test next week how it works if I use my mobile data rather than getting internet connected/ |
I got mobile broadband, 500g for 68 a month. Saves getting anything connected as it just plugs in and if you buy the modem you don’t have to get locked in to any contracts. Was handy when at nans where I didn’t want to change anything and saved my mobile data.
But I was pretty much watching streaming services all the time so mobile plan wouldn’t cut it! |

| In fairness they probably saw what happened in Victoria, it’s only six weeks turned into 4 months |

Apparently this strain presents symptoms within a few days, not 14, so the cycle is a lot quicker. Still, I can see why people are panicking after what happened here.
I saw people on the news panic buying alcohol as bottle shops will be closed. Sorry, but 15 slabs of West End is a lifetime supply.
SA has managed it's hotel quarantine program well up until now and the majority of the infected were 1 family with actual community transmission very low, so the odds are stacked in their favour to get back to normal pretty quickly.

And 15 slabs of Speights would be a death sentence. I'd rather drink rat poison. Cheaper. Tastes better too.

Nope. One of the suspected infection vectors is a private security guard who was also doing shifts in a pizza shop.
Farrk me rigid, did they learn nothing from the disaster in Victoria? Or all those nursing home deaths around the country?
If you are working with highly vulnerable people, and doubly so if you are working with elevated infection risk, you should not, repeat not, repeat never, ever, ever be permitted to work two jobs or multiple sites, and there need to be strict limits placed on the number of people in your home life.
Didn't anybody bloody check these things?

Mrs WPT & I stayed at the Peppers on Weymouth Hotel in Adelaide in March this year when we had 4 nights in Adelaide. Nice hotel but it always pisses me off you have to pay extra for parking 🙄 when it’s not the cheapest hotel around. Great location and has a nice indoor pool.

Agree with Eddie and Stui on this one. Adelaide is Australia's second-most livable capital city and a great place to visit. Shame about the beer.
(Hint: places with good beer have good quality drinking water. Every time. This is why the Carlton Draft we made in the Ballarat Brewery was noticeably better than the Carlton Draft they made in Melborrne using the exact same recipe. You can't make decent beer out of that muck Adelaide has in its pipes.)
(Carlton Draft made in Ballarat? Yep. And our Ballarat Bitter was bottled in Carlton and trucked up. Go figure. Well, OK, that was because Abbotsford had a bottling line and we didn't. We only made draft beer.)

How dare youse, I live in SA and drink Coopers pale; and I'm perfectly sane... .
the sludge at the bottom is a secret sauce.
Actually; I drink Coopers sparkling ale, at 5.8 % it doesn't matter a whole lot after a few.
