Wat is the point of a lockdown when one third of all cases exhibit no symptoms? Thousands could be infected without knowing. Since only 5 percent will fatal. Should not the majority be infected to gain herd immunity? The 5 percent might survive but the 80 percent will pay the economic price to benefit the 5 percent who are better off dead

the best scenario to spend weeks in a lockdown is to share a home with cloudy and claire. and throw in sam too if he's still alive.

Coronavirus shutdowns force businesses to close, thousands left unemployed and accessing Centrelink - ABC News

In long queues outside Centrelink offices across Western Australia, people made suddenly unemployed are wondering how they are going to pay their bills, look after their children and pay the rent.

Key points:
A national ban on public gathering has forced many businesses to close
Thousands of workers have been told overnight they no longer have jobs
Centrelink services have been overwhelmed as people apply for help
Anxious people today waited their turn to go inside and register their details for the Job Seeker payment, many having only learned yesterday they were out of a job.

Susi, wearing a mask and staying away from others in the queue, said she had received a text from the owner of the cafe where she worked at 10:00pm yesterday.

"I was the last one in and the first one to go," she said.

"I'm on my own. I don't have any money, I don't have anything, my mortgage is due tomorrow. It's not just me, it's everybody."

Further down in the queue, the stark reality of COVID-19 restrictions requiring the widespread closure of businesses has hit Tom, who worked in hospitality.

"It's becoming very real at the moment," he said.

"[I'm] very worried about it. We need to band together at the moment. It's daunting. It makes it very real."

A woman, who did not give her name, had been waiting to be seen at Centrelink since 7:00am.

"All three of my jobs are hospitality and fitness, so I've lost all of them," she said.

"I have two little kids as well and I'm a single mum."

National closures result in widespread layoffs
They were among tens of thousands of people in the state affected by Prime Minister Scott Morrison's announcement businesses had to close by midday today because people were gathering in some of them against social-distancing guidelines.

Pubs, clubs, cinemas, casinos, nightclubs, indoor places of worship, gyms and indoor sporting venues all had to shut their doors.

Cafes and restaurants can stay open, but they can only offer takeaway and delivery services.

The WA branch of the Australian Hotels Association (AHA) estimated the new social-distancing measures would cost about 40,000 people their jobs across the state.

AHA WA chief executive Bradley Woods said between 1,500 and 2,000 clubs and bars would be affected in WA and the impact would be severe.

"This is a heartbreaking and challenging day for thousands of business owners and the 50,000 staff they employ across the state," he said.

The AHA was working with the McGowan Government to get urgent clarification on how takeaway food and alcohol sales could occur.

Mr Woods said this would include volume restrictions on alcohol.

"This is to ensure staff safety and avoid the panic buying that we sadly saw with respect to toilet paper and other essential items," he said.

Businesses rush to adapt
Cafes and restaurants were today busily setting up expanded takeaway menus.

Stuart Lofthouse, owner of Greens and Co on Oxford Street in Leederville, encouraged people to support their local small businesses and the staff who worked there.

"Come out and buy a coffee, within the rules that are laid out," Mr Lofthouse said.

"I think it's going to be a very tough time and the amount of hurt in the community is huge."

Earlier, Joseph Andrew was enjoying one last sit-down coffee in Cottesloe and facing life with now more unemployment.

He had jobs in a local restaurant and a stand-up paddle board store, but expected they were finished.

"I have multiple sources of income and they are all on hold," he said.

"I will have to live much thriftier."

Huge queues at WA Centrelink outlets
Queues of people were seen at Centrelink buildings across Perth this morning, including in Victoria Park where dozens of people began lining up an hour and a half before doors opened.

Only 20 people were allowed in the building at a time to comply with social-distancing measures.

At the front of the line were Cherie Grant, 26, and Rhiannon Stella, 21, who both lost their hospitality jobs at the weekend.

"We don't have any second form of income so this is what we have to do," Ms Grant said.

Bartender Quintus Olsthoorn, 24, who lost his job on Friday when the business he worked for closed, was among the crowd.

"I've still got rent to pay which hasn't gone down, so I've come here because I need to be put on Newstart until I can find a new job, whenever that could be," he said.

"I think it's really tough for anyone who's living pay cheque to pay cheque."

I'll said it before and I'll say it again.. the pain and suffering caused by the lockdowns is far worse than the virus. Dying from the coronavirus isn't long and drawn out like cancer. It's over relatively quickly. Unemployment can last a lot longer.

Actually NZ isn't that bad. The majority of these looney tree huggers come from wealthy and privileged backgrounds so it's easy for them to get on their high horses because they don't have to walk the talk.

A large population of NZ are practical people who came from agricultural backgrounds. They do what it takes to earn a living.

You're the one that threatened me with physical harm and now you accuse ME of lying. Do you have dementia? It can start to manifest in 40 year olds nowadays.

Stop it ok.

I don't want to start my day quarreling with people. Why do you always like to provoke others and make others upset. It may be fun for you but not others ok. Don't build your happiness on other's misery.

Tell that to those who advocate for the lockdown like the so called resident Dr in Canada and his rants about love one dying and all that crap

You started this not me. I dished out expert advice and all I got was abuse in return. Yesterday you started threatening to physically hurt me with an umbrella.

I have always had the best interests of all the members and visitors of this forum at heart. My job is to provide unbiased and balanced information for the benefit of everyone.

You provoke me first!
Nevermind. I agree what i say was too much.
Ok, i am sorry I wasn't nice to you yesterday.
But you should apologize for provoking me too. But knowing you are a nasty big ego man, you wouldn't.

OK I sincerely apologise. Rest assured my intentions were honorable I can't help it if I come across as a dickhead. I find it extremely hard to be humble.

Singapore reports 54 new COVID-19 cases in highest daily spike, including 48 imported infections

SINGAPORE: Singapore on Monday (Mar 23) confirmed 54 new cases of COVID-19, the highest daily increase to date, taking the total to 509 cases.
Of the new cases, 48 are imported infections.
The imported cases had travel history to Europe, North America and ASEAN countries. All except one were returning residents and Long Term Pass holders, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in its daily update.

A total of 34 of the imported cases had travelled to the United Kingdom.
Three cases had previously been in the United States while five patients had been in Indonesia.
Six cases are currently unlinked and contact tracing is ongoing.
Eight more patients have also been discharged, MOH said.
To date, a total of 152 cases have fully recovered from the infection and have been discharged from hospital. Of the 355 confirmed cases who are still in hospital, most are stable or improving.
Fifteen are in critical condition in the intensive care unit while two patients have died.

Case 509, a 53-year-old Singaporean man, had been in Indonesia and had been in contact with Case 212, an Indonesian man who had died in Singapore on Saturday. The 64-year-old, who had a history of heart disease, was one of the first two fatalities in the country.
A 75-year-old Singaporean woman also died of complications due to the virus on Saturday.
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES IN SCHOOLS
Schools reopened on Monday after the March holidays with additional precautionary measures to safeguard students, teachers and other staff members.
Education Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Sunday that schools remain safe places for children and that the closure of schools will disrupt many lives, especially working parents with limited childcare options with no domestic help.
Among the precautionary measures implemented is the leave of absence or stay-home notice policy as well as checks on travel history at the school gates.

All students who are unwell will be put in an isolation room or sent home. Students will also be seated apart in class, similar to during examinations.
MOH announced on Sunday that Singapore will not allow short-term visitors to enter or transit through the country in view of the heightened risk of imported COVID-19 cases.
Previously, except for a handful of countries, short-term visitors were allowed to come into Singapore, although they have to serve a 14-day stay-home notice once they entered the country.
The expanded restriction to all short-term visitors will take effect at 11.59pm on Monday.
Only work pass holders providing essential services, such as in healthcare and transport, will be allowed by the Manpower Ministry to enter or return to Singapore. This will include their dependents.
