Australia's Immigration Minister Peter Dutton says he has coronavirus So shouldn't Morrison self isolate? No, not yet it will have to wait until Monday, because he has planned to go to the footy tomorrow. |

Will Dutton be sent to Christmas Island?  Wouldn't that be well deserved. |

Seriously though, if the pollies have to go into self isolation it might just make them take it all a little more seriously and realise this is a health issue not a budget one

Edit..cancel that..
”The Home Affairs minister attended Tuesday's meeting of the federal cabinet in person, and Thursday's meeting of the National Security Committee via video link.
"In advice provided to the Prime Minister this evening, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer has reiterated that only people who had close contact with the Minister in the preceding 24 hours before he became symptomatic need to self-isolate," the Prime Minister's Office said.
"That does not include the Prime Minister or any other members of the cabinet."

Rude.. he looks stupid.. publishing his advice.. best to have no crowds over 500 people... and that starts after his day out in a big crowd.
Looks like he’s safe...

Perhaps if they didn’t constantly lie to us (sports torts, Hawaii, et al) we might trust them to tell us the truth about this.
Hinch was tweeting yesterday that a minister had Covid19.
Dutton tells us that he woke up this morning with a sore throat and somehow managed to get a test done and analysed within hours.
Either there is another minister with the virus or 🥔 is lying.
I’m going with both

I’m going with both people are saying the test results take 48 hours, so Dutton is lying about 'waking up this morning with a sore throat" |

no offense to your medical officer guy, but he is dead wrong, people are contagious for as long as 8 days BEFORE showing symptoms. and the idiot we call president here has been exposed multiple times and still refuses to be tested or self isolate.
we now have our first positive case in my city, and probably many more to come as we have a pretty large elderly population. events of all kinds are being cancelled or postponed, no crowds bigger than 250, and those must be in venues where people can sit at a distance from each other. i believe dr. fauci when he says it will get worse before it gets better. this virus is 10 times more virulent than any ordinary flu, and i am self isolating, since i have chronic bronchitis.

I believe there are far more cases than what is being published.
So the Trumpster has finally realised it's not fake news.

Scott Morrison

In advice provided this evening, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer has reiterated only people who had close contact with the Minister in the preceding 24 hours before he became symptomatic need to self-isolate.
That does not include myself or any other members of the Cabinet.
that is not the advice given by WHO and other experts.. he's giving out misleading and dangerous information...

also Sin.. a lot of the cases we have here are people who travelled to the US, so yes, I believe it's a lot more widespread in your country than anyone knows

Morrisons isn't attending the football but it will be interesting to see if he attends
the Happy Clapper shindig tomorrow.

I knew we should have got chooks again 🤪
I had a couple of interesting conversations at the golfy this afternoon. One guy told me he didn’t see the infection difference between shaking hands and tapping elbows. I got him to try touching his face with his elbow 🙄
