Rate of coronavirus growth in Australia 'very concerning': Chief Medical Officer

Prof Murphy stressed that the COVID-19 virus would "be with us for some time".

"We have to all think about avoiding any unnecessary interactions where you are close to someone and could place them at risk," he said. "These measures are really draconian. We know that. But if we're going to control community transmission, we have to stop the capacity of this virus from spreading from person to person."Mr Morrison tonight warned Australia faces one of its toughest years as he extended restrictions on social distancing. Despite the restrictions, the Prime Minister stopped short of school closures, a move Prof Murphy backed."We don't know whether that might occur.

Shut 👏🏻 the👏🏻 schools👏🏻

Not really surprising when you let 100 infected people get off a boat and spread through the country? 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil 👿 Doctors and medical professionals can’t all be wrong. You are a disgrace

Duh Mr CMO everyone already knew this was coming 3 weeks ago when you introduced illogical and dumb social distancing measures! No University or PHD degrees needed.

1. We are not testing enough 2. We aren’t intensively managing cases - following their history & reporting locations 3. We are not strongly enforcing quarantine for those exposed like in Korea. Instead we have a confusing blanket lockdown that won’t work

Test, test, test stop all this bullshit about not meeting a ‘criteria’ covid19 auspol ScottMorrisonMP

But hey you can go to the shopping centres Kmart oh also caravan parks are still open so everyone is packing their van and head to coastal towns where lots of pensioners live 🤦‍♀️we know the central coast nsw is watching all these people arrive now from Sydney

But it’s still ok for us all to be out and about and going to work

Same Health experts who deemed the Ruby Princess Low Risk 🤦‍♂️ ScottMorrisonMP

Ridiculous, as a professional you don’t know how to deal with pandemic? Common sense is forced isolation to prevent the spreading , DO it NOW!

It’s not “concerning” it’s devastating. C’mon Aussies! Isolation and social distancing is a must if we’re going to flatten the curve. coronavirusau StayAtHomeSaveLives

Do the Singapore way. SG residents returning from the UK or US will serve their stay-home notices at hotels. The travellers will be transported directly from the airport to hotels which authorities arranged. Each will have their own room and toilet, all their meals provided.

Say the word moron ScottMorrisonMP “lockdown “

Without beating around the bush and tell the truth. Don’t feed people with wrong information. Say it now. Lockdown!!!

Anyone using the word “draconian” while describing these measures is just playing up to the eye-rollers putting our communities at risk and therefore complicit.

Don’t stand there with a concerned look on your face and then tell us it’s ok to go to work and shopping Centres and school you are morons and the longer you delay a total lockdown the more this will spread, grow some balls and shut it down!

That's what happens when you don't shut down or sanitize public places and transport... No official in government watch what happens in other countries? Just gonna wing it till 10000 cases and 500 deaths?

The steepness of the curve shows how incompetent the government is! 👎

COVID-19 testing criteria will change, health official concedes in Q+A grillingAustralia's deputy chief medical officer tells Monday's episode of Q+A there will be new COVID-19 testing criteria announced in coming days and that we are not Italy. That's odd, how can the test criteria change? Do we suddenly no longer have a shortage of test kits? Because that's exactly why the criteria is in place🤔 Can anyone tell me why visitors to nursing homes are forced to have flu vaccines when the residents have already had it which means they are protected . But no no . Apparently the vaccines are only around 33% affective. So pharma co make zillions from a vac that ‘might’ work 😭 Could humans be anymore gullible if the came from planet gullible ? Flu vaccs that ‘might ‘ work .
