relying on both the government employee chain and the reporting journalists to add together two small numbers is unfortunately part of the risk

I don't know whether people noticed, but the lockdown doesn't go into effect until midnight - giving people plenty of time to get to their holiday destinations. Seems pretty deliberate when other measures have come into effect at 4pm.

Yup, left it for the start of the weekend. Surely this activity has to be illegal and politicians have to be held accountable.

Yep. The media is interpreting it as people being subject to a stay at home order if they've been in the lockdown locations for any reason in the last two weeks. Gladys is terrible at explaining things.

That's why it's not going to work. Gladys said she expects non-essential businesses in the lockdown areas to close but we all know how much confusion there was about "non-essential" last time.

Interesting quote from the interview with one of the Melbourne Dry-Cleaners that got it;

quote:

"We were really careful, we did everything right, we still got it," he said.
"(We) always wore masks, sanitising the hands, asking the customers to wear masks and check in."

Good luck with those half-measures, Sydney :yikes:.

It's so unclear. There's so many edge cases like; a friend of mine "works in" one of those LGAs but hasn't been to the office in weeks. What then? Do they lockdown? Can they leave greater sydney?

What about if your housemate works in King's X? Are you still expected to stay home?

They're also ambiguous enough that your boss can just deem you an essential worker and tell you to come to work

Now it's just a waiting game to see who's the first Sydney fuckwit to try and flee to their summer home in Brizzie or Melbourne. If nothing else at least we can point and laugh from Victoria when we'll pick up maybe a handful of containable cases at worst (hopefully :ohdear:) while Sydney turns into even more of a plague-ridden cesspit over the coming weeks.

People who live in the 4LGAs are only allowed to leave the area for the following reasons:

to brush their teeth
to purchase El-Jannah (granville, not franchises)
if the UV index is between 3 and 9 except where it is 7.5-7.9
they use an electric scooter to do so
their dogs name starts with a letter M-Z in the alphabet
their cats name is A-L
if they have a dog and a cat, they are allowed to leave but only if its to buy a new collar/name tag for BOTH pets.

clear enough?

NSW government departments don't seem to have a clue at this point whether their city offices should be shut down for the next week.

Gladys really wasn't very specific when she said "businesses" in the 4 LGAs will be expected to close. I hope her phone is blowing up with calls from CEOs seeking clarification.

Every attempt at clarifying what the stay at home orders mean just adds to the confusion.

Now NSW Health is saying people who don't spend significant amounts of time in the specified LGAs aren't subject to the orders.
