one thing the harder lockdown does is make it easier to police everyone. the streets should be near empty, making it easier to question those who are out.

Melbourne has nothing to apologise for - we've just been unlucky
The fight at hand to stem community transmission must take priority over temptations to attribute blame.
The point is more about what the police can do about it if they encounter a restriction breacher.
I thought this was a good article for all to read

Seizures and battered heart: how COVID-19 scarred a healthy Sydney doctor
A Sydney GP has described his harrowing brush with COVID-19 that left the healthy medico with seizures and scarred heart.
They'll fine them......and I bet the ***** don't pay the fine, lock the ***** up

That’s a bit like saying a drink driver who causes a fatal accident is unlucky because many other drink drivers get away with it.
Yep, the more deadlier strain/s will die off by killing it's host while the milder strains will live on to mutate and evolve. This thing will kill many more people than it currently already has unfortunately. What I wanna know is how immune do you get if you've already had it, as some reports suggest that you can get it again.
Its a polite way of saying if one of the arseholes who chooses to not follow the rules and has the virus we are all effected.
The lockdown curfew is a way of enabling authorities a chance to deal with these types of people easier and of course reduce or eliminate the chances of innocent rule abiding citizens in contracting it.
Probably 4 weeks late though.
Not sure it has been written anywhere about natural immunity? The herd immunity is a pipe dream at this stage Harry, there have been reports of people getting it more than once but the question was being asked around the quality of the testing as in were they really clear of the virus.
I think the effect this is having on so many should lead to harsher penalties for those breaching restrictions, particularly those that test positive and do not self isolate.
I'd be happy enough with the following.
1st breach - $1652 fine
2nd breach - Lock them up for the publics safety
To be removed from the controlled facility you need to complete your 14 days and then pass 2 negative tests. If you don't then you sit your 14 days again.
Clearly a fine isn't enough deterrent so take away their liberties.
Its no different to why we send criminals to prison. The ultimate reason isn't punishment, its rehabilitation and society protection. Thats what this will be, society protection.
Testing of antibodies suggests immunity only lasts for 2-3 months. Perhaps less in some individuals. It's not a solution.
Good idea but I wouldn't be giving any leniency for anyone caught not self isolating after a positive test. We've been pussyfooting around this for too long and we're now in a state of disaster. Everyone knows the rules, anyone who says they don't is a liar. I can't see how there can be any exemptions; if you are diagnosed positive you must self isolate.
Non compliance should lead to mandatory 28 day detention; I'm sure there are disused or little used facilities on military bases that can be converted for the purpose. Fining people is clearly not working.
I'm guessing police numbers have been hit through infections and self-isolations, and that's the reason for the curfew. Lately they've been refusing to disclose numbers affected.
Well we're stuffed if true and a successful vaccine isn't found.
That demographic exists in all Australian major cities. Possibly proportionally of the same order in NSW and less in other states.
yes, of course, but it appears that was the 'group' initially infected in Vic, which meant the virus spread quickly before the spread was widely realised. I would guess a different demographic has been hit in NSW.
no, i think a lot of people would have been a but lax in their behaviour because they knew they would probably get away with it. knowing the streets will be empty and they are a lot more likely to be stopped with change a lot of people's behaviour i reckon.
Again you are relying on people's common sense. The lines outside the supermarkets yesterday would indicate common sense is in short supply. There needs to be strong consequences to people's actions if they choose to ignore the restrictions.
One week in, Morrison's recovery plan implodes
I wish it were hard to believe that just last week Josh Depressionberg announced a major tightening of fiscal support, the RBA put the stimulus cue in the rack, and the Morrison Government tried to bulldoze state quarantine borders in preparation for a rushed international opening to renew mass...
