The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

Unfortunately the government knows exactly who has a gun.

The issue is that the government hastily rushed this closure in and did it under the guise of preventing domestic violence.

is this where you tell us you And the rest of your followers are in a compound out in the middle of shitcreek, stockpiled with guns and prepared for when the “govt” comes And won’t go down without a fight

 

[RobbyRoy]

Few of those beachgoers in this thread by the looks of it.

Yeah they have a whole wing of ICU bed at FSH that have been closed off and unused since it opened just in case of a crisis like this so there are options to increase on the ICU capacity if needed.

While it’s true that there is a wing of FSH ICU that has gone unused since opening, my understanding is that this was a staffing issue rather than foresight/planning for a pandemic. There have been many times over the past few years that the ICU has been full and had to be placed on bypass despite an entire wing lying unused.

Further capacity will come from places like surgery recovery and theatres being used as makeshift ICU beds. Even this though will not be nearly enough if community spread takes off in earnest.

 

[The Speaker]

Looks like certain people have no clue what kind of impact the above mentioned gun/ammo restrictions have on farmers and primary producers. Incredibly ill-thought out.

Wait, the state of WA doesn't end at Mundairing?

There will be plans in place to make sure those people can still access what they need, surely?

There are exemptions for farmers

 

[RobbyRoy]

There are exemptions for farmers

As always. They haven't been perfect, but our government's response in terms of catering for the various people and industry in our country is generally quite decent.

 

[The Speaker]

They've started fixing the mess they made, yes. But they should have thought about it beforehand.

well that’s what happens with policy on the run

Yeah I'm pretty sure they've put those plans in place that you mentioned as well.
If people keep taking their whole family down to the shops to do their shopping together when one of the adults could haveclearly stayed home then I'm sure the hospitals will be overwhelmed in no time.

 

[Plugger35]

Not sure turning Rotto into a quarantine island is a good idea, what about the quokkas?

Even if they don't catch the coronavirus it's going to be tough for them to survive without tourists feeding them chips from Red Rooster.

jesus ******* christ some of you need to put the bong and the dystopian fiction away

Good to see your still alive m8, hope your keeping safe over there in Sarajevo.

 

[JackOutback]

Maybe they have a couple of things on their mind?

 

[Big Cox 88]

Couldn't have asked for much more from McGowan and co. in WA. They have generally been half a step in front of the other premiers and a step in front of the PM.

 

[The Speaker]

Maybe they have a couple of things on their mind?

There's a bit going on therefore forcing closures without notice or provisions for exemption is ok? Weak.

So it would seem these cruise ships are becoming an issue

now 46 confirmed on one boat with the expectation that will rise to 70 and 3 of them are critical in ICU - All the sick will be housed in a locked wing of a private hospital andthe rest will be put on chartered planes back to Germany

The next boat up is the one with the Australians onboard - I’m going to assume the numbers may be similar

I will never ever be going on a cruise again

 

[Plugger35]

I'm surprised how many cruise ships are still out there, some of them must have taken off after there was that coronavirus cruise ship crisis in Japan.

If you were stupid enough to get on a cruise ship after that you deserve to die.

That would be all of them IMO. I would have to ask my mum, but I am pretty sure none of the cruises last for as long as it has been since then.

 

[ep2018]

**** me if myself or one of my loved ones dies because these pricks are taking up all the ICU beds I'll be livid (or dead lol).

I wonder if crime has gone down the last few weeks

Not necessarily, the Artania only has a problem because they had someone who disembarked later test positive to COVID.

At this stage no one on the Magnifca has tested positive or anyone who was pr viously on the boat either. They will likely be flown straight home to their home countries.

The Vasco De Gama is the one due shortly and also has no cases at this stage or ex-passengers that were positive. They will be the ones quarantined on Rottnest as a safeguard.

The Artania is the only problem child due to the sick people on board.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

The Feds may need to end up coming over the top on the cruise ships issue.

We need to be careful how we treat them, remembering that there are 1000s of Aussies in the same predicament on other ships all over the world.

Feds ooooh ooga booga

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Feds ooooh ooga booga

Ah, another little insular soul from Wait Awhile.

These cruise ships have the potential to cause all sorts of diplomatic storms all over the planet if not handled right.

 

[Upgrayedd]

McGowan has shut the gun stores now too.

How can anyone not see how this is going?

plan on getting a gun anytime soon?
