Morrison is pissweak on handling this pandemic
Mar 15^th, 2020 at 2:00pm

Schools to stay open for now

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Australian schools should remain open for the time being, despite growing calls for them to shut to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Speaking after a special national cabinet meeting today to decide what course of action the nation should take to slow the spread of the disease, Mr Morrison said shutting schools down would do more harm than good.

"People are naturally anxious about the issues of schools," he said.

"As the British chief medical officer observed over the last couple of days, the issue of wide scale closure of schools, and it may seem counter-intuitive, but the advice is this could be a very negative thing in terms of impacting on how these (epidemic) curves operate, for two reasons.

"When you take children out of school and put them back in the broader community, the ability for them to potentially engage with others increases that risk. That's the understanding we had.

"Also issues of herd immunity which relate to children. The other is the disruption impact that could have and put at great risk the availability of critical workers such as nurses, doctors and others who are essential in the community because they would have to remain home and look after their children.

"So while it may seem counterintuitive, there (are) very good reasons why you would not be moving to broadscale closures of schools. That could make the situation worse, not better.

"The states and territories are not moving in that direction."

The PM said the matter would be reassessed on Friday.

ScoMo has just as bigger balls as Jacinda.

All overseas arrivals to Australia required to self-isolate for 14 days

The Prime Minister has introduced measures similar to New Zealand when it comes to overseas arrivals.

"The national cabinet today and we resolved to do the following things - to help stay ahead of this curve, we will impose ahead of this curve, we will impose a universal propose in self isolation requirement on all arrivals to Australia and is effective from midnight tonight."

"The Australian Government will also abandon cruise ships from foreign ports from arriving to Australian ports from arriving to Australian ports for an initial 30 days and that will go forward on a rolling basis.

"The national Cabinet also endorses the advice of the HP PC today to introduce social distancing measures.

"I just want to be clear about the travel restrictions I have just announced. All people coming to Australia will be required, will be required, I stress, to self isolate for 14 days. This is very important. "

Rubbish. If kids are taken out of school and forced to stay home for two weeks, the risk to themselves and the community decreases significantly.

"Also issues of herd immunity which relate to children. The other is the disruption impact that could have and put at great risk the availability of critical workers such as nurses, doctors and others who are essential in the community because they would have to remain home and look after their children.

Poor excuse. Think of the number of cases those nurses and doctors will face if schools stay open and corona virus starts spreading through schools. It's not just the kids, its staff. Many are in the age bracket most at risk of corona virus. The best thing to do is close schools and universities now, bringing forward the traditional two-week Easter break to tomorrow.

"So while it may seem counterintuitive, there (are) very good reasons why you would not be moving to broadscale closures of schools. That could make the situation worse, not better.

"The states and territories are not moving in that direction."

This won't do anything. Chinese students being asked to self-isolate abroad before coming here were caught on social media taking pictures in groups at beaches, etc. A man in Sydney who tested positive was found at a western-Sydney grocery store despite being told to self-isolate. This isn't good enough. Need to ban all incoming flights for at least the next three weeks.

Throughout the whole thing Morrison has been worried about one thing and one thing only ... money. He is more concerned with what it will do for the economy, and his budget surplus, than he is about peoples lives. Now as PM, of course he should be worried about the economy, but not over and above the lives of our citizens

He should have shut the borders when this first started, or at the very least, imposed a 2 week isolation on anyone coming into the country.

I've been reading comments from residents in Italy and one common message however is that the Italian govt. should have closed down the country much earlier.

I'm not in "panic mode". But look at Italy and South Korea. Look at China. They didn't grasp the seriousness of this pandemic until it was already too late. Thousands of people have died already. The only way to stop the same happening here is to get out ahead of this early, because once we're in winter and its flu system, our health system will go into meltdown.
