Been thinking about ways I can get out and about with minimal or no contact.

Surf wise - There are a couple of stretches of beach where I know I can park the car away from the public, run down a hardly used path, go for a paddle for a bit, get back in the car and head home - still thinking about if it is an option, I generally surf on my own and short sessions at dawn so in a way I am already tuned into isolation surfing.. avoid car parks, no hanging around afterwards and keep it short and sharp.

Went for a bike ride last night, I generally cruise slow on the footpath but it was a bit crowded on the footpath so was on the road a bit. Got a good sweat up as I could go a bit quicker on the road. Cabin fever had started to take hold so my wife was more than obliging to get me out of the house for 30 min.

Good luck driving to the beach. cops are starting to fine people for non essential travel. And apparently traveling to the beach to exercise (surf) is now deemed non essential.

Ran the numbers, in WA you have a 1 in 5000 chance of bumping into a Covid case, and if you practice safe distancing and good hygiene you have a net zero chance of picking it up.

I get the need to enforce behavioral changes to stop the spread, but seriously fining people $1000 for a trip to the beach?

Have to keep telling myself to suck it up, just suck it up boy.

So the cops stop you and you have a bag of groceries in the seat next to you that happens to have a spare couple of rolls of quality toilet paper loose and in plain sight at the top of the bag! Just saying you may be rolling right away from that traffic stop!

I'm not having a go at you here, could you please provide more information. Is this factual, did it happen to you or did you hear of it happening to someone else?

My understanding is that restrictions for outdoor "Leisure and recreation" is limited to 10 people & social distancing must be adhered to as outlined on the government website;
www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-the-premier-and-cabinet/covid-19-coronavirus-community-advice

At the moment all I can find for police actually stopping people is the following article & its in regard to crossing boundaries.
www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-01/coronavirus-travel-restrictions-in-wa-toughest-in-australia/12108868

Based upon the current "advice" & boundary restrictions there is nothing to say you can't go to the beach for recreational activities provided you are not operating a boat (that is not your home), crossing boundaries or entering within 1.5m proximity of someones personal space.

Its important that people stand up for their rights as they are steadily being chipped away from us like the Victorians did with the bonk ban.
www.themorningbulletin.com.au/news/victoria-backflips-on-partner-visit-rule2/3986902/

Governments never fail to take advantage of a crisis & we need to remain vigilant in what is going on in the background as the world is blindsided by this virus. They could use this to make changes which may not be reversed in the future.

I'm not saying to not follow advice to reduce the spread of the virus, but if we allow precedent for them taking away our freedom for things unrelated or going way too far with things like that bonk ban. They could exercise the same measures in future because we've allowed them to do so.

Australia typically has 1500 to 3000 deaths from influenza every year;
www.isg.org.au/index.php/clinical-information/influenza-fast-facts-/

So far there have been 21 deaths from C19, it will be interesting to see what it gets up to within 12 months;
www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/coronavirus-covid-19-current-situation-and-case-numbers

I'm not downplaying the virus, I have elderly parents I call each day to check on & encourage to take precautions. Although mum was a nurse for over 40 years so she knows a thing or 2 about infection control.

But...Australia has this or that Influenza every year, most of the time we don't brand them & the media doesn't run stories like. The Australian deathrate "JUMPED today, by "1".

In the end we will need to look back & ask if this was handled correctly. The media & government will most likely tell us that they did & next time it happens they will do the same thing which will essentially allow them to do it every year. So far I feel decisions have been made with fear rather than fact. Only time will tell if this was either the biggest psyops of all time or not.

It sure stopped all the protests around the world & at least we're not talking about climate change, bushfires, LGBQLSD rights, diversity, womens workplace stuff & all the other BS lefty nonsense. I can now watch the news without shouting "thats BS" & getting angry

obviously you wear the pants ...but she tells you what color and when to take them off /on ... happy wife happy life so they say .

it is so so so ****n early with numbers.
if you look at the death toll verse contracted cases ,last i looked was running just under 5% was lower at start.
why do people say,,,, influenza kills thousands a year and we don't stop the country...
.stop thinking this is influenza FFS influenza A & B runs about 1%. influenzas are a runny nose compared to this.
people stay at home and stop looking for bull**** reasons to leave your home. **** i would hate to see how their self entitled kids behave .

Hope she observed the social distancing laws Reckon for old mate that was caught breaking the new laws at the Melbourne brothel it must have been the most expensive blowjob he ever had

remember back in the 90s in Stkilda the good looking hookers were planted cops.

Do you know that first hand Cobra

I probably should have divulged I'm a nurse & my wife is a WA teacher. So we are both required to not lockdown.

I just felt it necessary to outline the current "advice" before rumours become regulatory enforcements. There has been a lot of confusion due to states doing their own thing. Suddenly chipping away at your freedom & people need to question rather than blindingly bleat untrue narratives sensationalised by an ecstatic media.

I've shyed away from the beach the last few days because the number of blowins have been heaps higher than normal with people rushing to get a few out of city waves before the boundary restrictions came into effect midnight last night. But I was able to safely surf today with a couple of mates respecting the current "advice". That should not change, because infection control procedures dictate that they should not given that setting.

Cuttlefish, very well said I have been saying the same thing & agree 100%. Sorry to hear the adverse effect the governments knee jerk reaction has caused you.

I was happy to see a bloke who likes his boats and e-bikes going for a walk for exercise today.
I think he has finally got the message

Where do your stats come from and for what country?
Latest stats from Australia:
www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/coronavirus-covid-19-current-situation-and-case-numbers.
7 News gave the figure of 5103 cases with 23 deaths so far.

I'm crap at maths but isn't that 0.451 percent?

world mate, forget aussie stats gee we are nearly two months behind the northern hemisphere.
umm 936,438 covid cases with 47,251 deaths. you do the math. it Started off lower think i remember was 1.8%
its early days.

Ok. So correct me if I'm wrong but thats 0.050 percent?

Thing to note in that news report. See the medico giving a swab to a patient early in the report. Notice the ceiling fan swirling around above?
This relates to the other virus spreading in the sea air topic in the surfing allowed thread.
Also take note of the footage being shown of hospital interiors and patients. Background filler shots of "normal" scenes with only 3 scenes in the report that look like Covid-19 situations. I studied for a bachelor of business with a major in journalism that also included strands in public relations and advertising so I know the tricks of the trade.

We need to continue to take precautions to avoid the spread of this virus. Eat well, take vitamins, multi, D & C. Go for a walk, ride, jog, avoid stopping to chat & don't use public facilities to go to the toilet. Go behind a tree or head home.

But yeah just to add to the stats Cuttlefish. The majority of people seeking testing to confirm if they have contracted the virus are told to self isolate unless they work in health, have returned from overseas or are deemed to be in the at risk category. So the actual number of people with the virus is actually much higher than what has been confirmed. There are people out there who don't show any symptoms.

Also unless bloods are taken true confirmation can not be made. The 5 min test kits the US are now using only indicate the individual could possibly have C19. All positives will be reported as C19, the data will be incorrect.

Italy have been over reporting C19 as the cause of death & China has been under reporting. Only cruise ships can provide a true representation of correct stats, however the majority of those people are elderly which also effects true representation.

At the end of the day, I feel we will be fine health wise. Fatalities may well be similar to previous years. I'm more concerned about the economy & our nations mental health. I hope the suicide rate does not exceed the C19 fatalities.

Australia needs to chill the fark out or we could have a lot more to worry about than C19.
