Its pretty simple really, highly trained medical specialists in this field recommended a lockdown for a few days and wear a mask to stop something that may get out of hand if no action taken.
Its always funny hearing people with no qualifications or medical training saying the experts have no idea and are wrong lol.
A few days of missing Perfffs awesome beach breaks
and wearing a mask is not really much of an issue??? Is it??
Ah I see...
Walking down the street, mandatory mask wearing.
Running down the street, no mask required.
Got it. It all makes sense now.
Funnily enough last night I saw people running around without masks on. Other people were walking around with masks on.
My guess is that the runner going past the walkers is probably not going to pass on coronavirus. The runners running with each other are probably more at risk, but I never saw that anyway.
What scenario works for this? Two runners running together but the positive one running 3 metres ahead of the other one? Yeah! Sounds likely!

Good point! I wanted to mention that all these conspiracy theorists are sheep, but I thought it was too insulting. I mean, they get their info from memes and never seem to provide any logical argument. They cry about what they think others are ignoring it because they are not smart enough to understand it themselves so assume everyone else must be either 'in on it' or actively trying to harm them.
It must be a scary world where you understand very little and just think that its a conspiracy.

That's easy to answer.
No-one running has ever been more likely to exhale extra saliva and spittle droplets.
It's much more likely for a walker to do that.
That's why the walker has to wear a mask and the runner doesn't.

I think a lot of you life-long west australians underestimate how much comes from the east coast.
I think the media here has got you all wound up in a west coast versus east coast competition. It seems very common to hear about it here, even on tv news articles, but when in the east, no one ever talks about Perth other than 'yeah, I should go there someday but its so far away'.
I think all you people that don't want to be invaded by 'the east' will be safe for a very long time. Don't lose any sleep over it.

Perhaps you're buying into the media East v West hype a little yourself?
The people I know living here just get on with living a great lifestyle, feel very grateful for it, kitesurf along a stunning coast, and don't give a second thought to "here vs there vs here" claptrap. ;-)

Yeah, sure.
If Australia was a broken marriage, WA is the hardworking ex-partner having to hand over three quarters of their salary to the bludging ex of an east coast, who greedily takes more than they deserve so they can live the everyday latte sipping lifestyle with their other divorced friends.Select to expand quoteFormulaNova said..

The east coast is to Australia what the US is to the rest of the world. Too caught up in their own navel-gazing to realise there are better places to be.Select to expand quoteFormulaNova said..

Yeah maybe I am. Before I moved here (to WA) I noticed friends that live here refer to 'The East' and heard the usual 'we should get more of the GST'. I never really thought anyone cared about it.
Since moving here I see it mentioned on TV more than I thought it would be and have met people that seem to be serious thinking that WA should succeed from the rest of Australia.
I thought it was a joke, before I moved here, and it may still be, but some people seem to be serious about it.

Good.
If you turn around and say 'WA' is rich because of its mining assets, why don't you just go further then and say 'The Pilbara is rich' and separate that from WA and the rest of Aus? Break it down further into mine sites and make them independent nations?
Maybe things are slightly different now, but a lot of workers in the mines come from other states anyway.
One thing I do find sad though is WA doesn't seem to be getting enough infrastructure in other industries built into Perth. Sure the mining dollars come in, but how much of that ends up in other industries in Perth and decent head offices in the CBD? In my minimal experience it seems like these companies run a fair bit off-shore and do as little as they can to build up Perth into a truly diverse city.
The east coast is good too, just different. I think a lot of younger people move there from Perth, and some of them move back.
Enjoy your lifestyle here, but don't be too caught up in whether 'The East' really cares.

Yeah look, the west (including the pollies) can complain about the east getting the lions share of the GST generated here, but the pollies are doing their best to let the mining companies get around paying their fair share of taxes, leading to there is less investment put back into the state by way of infrastucture.
It's the pollies that are responsible for the lack of infrastructure and development, but as long as they get their back-handers they don't care and are happy to release small time infrastructure projects every now and then.
That way they can puff up and beat on their chests and say 'look how we are looking after the state with these new developments!'
The truth is, if the state was managed properly, the west would be a hell of a lot further developed than it is. By a long shot.
There is no development to encourage other industries to take root in the west.
The pollies are only interested in:
- selling real estate wholesale to overseas interests (no infrastructure required)
- approving mines (infrastructure, ie - the mine and maybe corporate buildings, is paid for by the mining company)
It's all easy money for little effort for them. They don't have to do squat for the bucks.
They certainly aren't interested in doing any hard thinking on how they can make the state diversify and expand via other industries.
That's just too hard.
