I bumped into someone I know at the pub in the Birsbane CBD on Friday. He had come up from Victoria (where he normally resides), and was supposed to be isolating in the hotel across the road from the pub i saw him in. I was quite (quietly) pissed off, as my own mother, who hasn't been to Victoria nor lives in a town that has seen a single case, is stuck at my place for two weeks.
A mate of mine is in one of the unlucky postcodes in Melbourne. He seems to be doing ok - he was working from home anyway, so its not as huge adjustment.
I think closing the whole state might be a bit much - towns like Mildura, Swan Hill and Wodonga are hardly the problem.
