Your climate has to be good for something besides fires and floods.

By next Winter there will no doubt be a vaccination or something, so you might escape this altogether.

Yeah, many people complained. But guess what will be the bill the state/gov has to pay the hospitals and such if one such idiot does not stay home and infects many hundreds more people? And you don't have to do much guesswork to find out people are retarded morons.

I agree that fine level is a nonsense, but I kind of understand it and idiots deserve this fine. And I hope the state/gov will go and really claw back the money from them.  Staying quarantined for a couple of weeks is nothing that would hurt anyone. It is the least you can "pay" for being a moron visiting Italy in the middle of this crisis.

It is estimated we have more than 15 000 people in the freakin italian mordor. Good that they have locked all of them down there. You can bet there would be a lot of people that would lie about "they've not been in Italy" and just spread the disease further.

One such case I think was recently reported from Slovakia, where a parent lied about a child has been already tested on arrival from Italy, but it wasn't at all.

Schools are open in the summer in Sydney?

Err, yeah, why wouldn't they be?

They get all of January off though.
BTW, it's now Autumn.

No reason, I guess. When I went to school here in the States, our school year was September 15th through June 15th. In other words, we got the entire summer off, except for about a week in September.

Do you have an "unofficial" start of autumn there in Australia like we do here? Although the actual start of autumn in the northern hemisphere is September 23rd, everyone considers it to start immediately after our Labor Day holiday, which is the first Monday in September.

As someone with a lung disease I'd certainly rather not get this. When the flu comes around I get my flu shot since the flu can also put me in the hospital, can't do that with this. It's already around here so all I can do is wait and see if I get it. When I saw two symptoms were trouble breathing and chest pain I chuckled, I have that all the time. Guess I'd have to wait on fever or cough.

Nusa:
Don't forget that some people will get such a mild case that they don't even think they have it. But they can still spread it wherever they work or play. Maybe they'll get in the statistics later on when people around them get sick.
