@gwenjorgensen Try @ZipWater_ . We have one, works well.

@smh @ErykBagshaw They must have been watching reruns of Border Security

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@Soos64792315 @SBSNews Popularity contest?... like a legitimate democratic election?

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@andrewhunterm @JamesHarkin I think you mean unappropriate

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@ringer @KevinOConnorNBA @ChrisVernonShow My preference, western conference hub in Vegas (or wherever in the west), eastern in Orlando, then home and away finals. Minimise travel, minimise delay, keep the hubs small.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@ringer @KevinOConnorNBA @ChrisVernonShow Doesn’t the group stage format mean the person to person interactions are tripled, and compressed in time, for the first round. The reason we’re here is the need to minimise the opportunity to transmit disease. Better than all 30 but significantly worse than straight playoffs.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@abcnews @MichaelKidd5 @ABC_NewsRadio I understand a vaccine is 12 months away but what scientific developments have been made or what can we expect in a shorter term? i.e. better understanding of transmission, immunity gained following a mild/severe case, improved treatment protocols, who gets severe cases?

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@smh Not reading the article because the individual case really doesn’t matter. But it’s this kind of stuff that erodes trust in the government and its that erosion of trust that puts us all at risk. Ditto all the NRL government ‘permission’ fiasco. @GladysB @ScottMorrisonMP

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@smh I’m not qualified in this area, but then neither is the author, nor does she cite any expert advice. But while we’re throwing out thought bubbles, chasing herd immunity was a bad idea when Britain tried it even for a couple of weeks, it’s a bad idea now.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@smh Author uses the argument that a vaccine may not be possible given experience with the common cold. The same thought process would suggest herd immunity is not guaranteed.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@smh And there would be a lot of death if infection rates were allowed to return to levels required to get to 60% infection in six months.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@CoalKing2 @smh Previous literally the first paragraph from Quarantine Wikipedia article with minor edits for space. This is all to stop the prevention of a very serious virus, not an attack on Eastern Suburbs surfers.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@CoalKing2 @smh A quarantine is a restriction on the movement of people intended to prevent the spread of disease. It is used in connection to disease and illness, preventing the movement of those who may have been exposed to a communicable disease, but do not have a confirmed medical diagnosis.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@smh Treated like criminals... no they are being told they can’t use the beach for a month or two. Stay Home. Don’t go anywhere special because other people probably find that place special too.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@theagesport @smh Let us know so we can get the social distancing fines arranged. Ridiculous decision to schedule the start of the season when the whole country is in near lockdown for everyone’s protection. No dispensations for games of football, let’s hope.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@EmmaKember @MichaelChammas NSW and Federal government reputations might takes a hit too if this goes wrong.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@smh @SMHsport Oh please no, I don’t want to be locked up for an extra couple of months because these guys spark a mini outbreak. Desperation does not breed good decisions.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@RoyalNPAlerts @CanadaBay @IWCouncil bay run too or are we having another few thousand come through this weekend?

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@StrategicCities @vandenberglegs @CanadaBay @IWCouncil @MayorDarcy Totally agree people should be encouraged to get out and exercise for physical and mental health, but concentrations of people should be dispersed based on my layman’s understanding of the public health messaging.

[Brendan Jones @BrendanJ83]

@StrategicCities @vandenberglegs @CanadaBay @IWCouncil @MayorDarcy Bottlenecks past the Leichhardt Rowing club, along the City West Link, crossing Iron Cove Bridge (the new version) especially with Westconnex there.
