When looking at the Mexican President's thoughts about the issue, this gets extremely scary for Australian teachers and schoolchildren:
'But it is the president’s personal attitude that has Mexicans puzzled. He continues to attend mass public rallies, shaking hands and kissing babies. Asked how he was protecting Mexico, López Obrador removed two religious amulets from his wallet and proudly showed them off.
“The protective shield is the ‘Get thee behind me, Satan,’” López Obrador said, reading off the inscription on the amulet, “Stop, enemy, for the Heart of Jesus is with me.”
If Morrison is following the same reasoning for not closing schools as Mexico is, he better have a mighty big Hillsong rabbit's foot!!!
The State leaders will have to take control in the face of LNP inaction.
You realise our rate of COVID-19 infections (0.004%) is lower than Singapore (0.007%) the international benchmark with their healthcare isolation methodology (WHO data)
Our deathrate is exceptional ATM So I think your criticism of ScoMo is ideologically driven not COVID-19 clinically driven.
not saying all is Rosey and there isn't worse to come but criticisms of the collective government responses of both political persuasions are way off beam especially when they are being done in consultation with the CHO.
You are kidding me!!!!!!!! Australia is following the Italy, UK and US projections. The only reason our rate of infections is currently lower than Singapore is that we are three weeks behind them! Please, please, please understand how serious this is by looking at the second graph on this link:

To compare us with the Singapore policy is a total furphy. In Singapore, everyone has their temperature taken before going on any public transport, into any office building, into any store. Students have their temperature taken twice a day. Anyone with a temperature is ordered home to self-isolate and not allowed into transport, office, shop or school until their temperature has dropped to normal.
