The dentist may be closed - he was in March due to the lockdown.

I can't really see the point in an 8pm - 5am curfew. It can still be spread from 5am - 8pm. *shrug*

Dan makes up rules then within a few days they all collapse due to common sense.
The last one was "masks while driving."
That collapsed the next day.
No one can keep up with all the changes.

[Bobby]

I'll be OK.

Coronavirus: Victoria declares state of disaster after spike in cases

29 minutes ago


The Australian state of Victoria has declared a state of disaster and imposed new lockdown measures after a surge in coronavirus infections.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the restrictions would come into effect on Sunday at 18:00 (09:00 BST).

Under the new rules, residents of the state capital Melbourne will be subject to a night-time curfew.

The city's stay-at-home order will be enhanced, giving residents fewer exemptions for leaving home.

Residents will not be allowed to travel further than 5 km (3.1 miles) from their home, exercise will be restricted to once a day, and one person will be able to go shopping for essentials at a time.

After early success in suppressing the virus, Australia has had fewer cases than many other countries, recording about 17,000 infections and 200 deaths.

But cases are rising rapidly in Victoria, accounting for many of Australia's new infections in recent weeks, promoting the return of lockdown restrictions in early July.

Melbourne now.
I'm under house arrest right now along with 5 million other people.
It started at 8.00pm tonight.
If I so much as open the front door and
put one foot outside
I can be fined $1620.
