I got this from a golfing buddy in Australia:
Quote:Freaking fear mongering mongrels.
One 81 year old guy comes back from Argentina to Sydney (quarantined 14 days)then onto Adelaide and its then discovered he has covid.Infects 3 close family members and now the fear mongering commences.
First reaction last night was a 3 day lockdown but today the Experts???? have decided to shut down our whole State from 6 pm tonight for 7 days.
Exercise limited to walking only 2.5kms from ones home in the company of only 2 family members.
Food shopping allowed and medical treatment or purchase of course permitted.
Masks of course everywhere except in your own home.
Being Winter season the Flu is around but you hear absolutely nothing about that as if it doesnt even exist.
Obviously no bloody golf for the next 7 days or any kids sport.
Look at the following figures in Australia especially my home State South Australia.
Due to incompetence and substandard management it will take until the end of the year until we have enough vaccine to enable every Aussie to have at least one jab.
Routine for next 7 days will be 2 5km walks a day,floor exercise and stretching,some swings on the back lawn plus many hours watching Netflix and Kayo Sport.... and very little time turning the freaking negative fear mongering media on.

Dear XXXXXX
From 6pm tonight, a seven day stay at home order will be in place for South Australia.
This swift and decisive action is based on expert health advice following the detection of the highly infectious Delta strain in our community.
The next week will be difficult for many South Australians, but we must go hard and we must go early to get ahead of this virus.
For the next seven days, we must at stay home. We can only leave home for five reasons:
- Care and compassionate reasons, such as taking care of a loved one
- Essential work
- Purchasing of essential goods such as food
- Medical reasons including COVID testing and vaccination
- Exercise with people from your household.
If we leave home for any of these reasons, masks must be worn in all in public places.
This new direction also means that schools will be closed for the next seven days. Only the children of essential workers and vulnerable children will be able to attend school, preschool or childcare.
Together we will get through this challenge because South Australians are strong, resilient and united.
