If someone said this to me only 3 weeks ago I would have been outraged, today I totally agree with the measures. Very strange times. | | | |

It's always been where we were going to end....just how long it took to get here. |  |

What is classed as “essential” work? Do I still go in tomorrow morning and await confirmation from the Director? |  | | |

These ridiculous measures wouldn’t be necessary if the general public would grow the f*ck up. Not everyone has the luxury of living with their loved ones. I now face 3 weeks without seeing anyone I love. Frankly I’d rather die of this virus than go through that. I hate this planet, I hate it’s people. I can’t be on this forum anymore, I wish you all well maybe we’ll speak again one day. | | | |

Chin up Sarge. It's bad but not unsurmountable. I do not mind admitting that this has made my cry for the first time in 30 years but we have to get on with it. [Post edited 23 Mar 2020 21:04]

And what if after 3 weeks it is still not improved, will we be expected to stay inside indefinitely?
Are the postal services classed as essential? If they expect me to work from home for the foreseeable, I will need a LOT of parcels!! |  |

If necessary yes. This is the best alternative. | | | |

What is "essential work"?
Essential to whom? To the worker, or to the state? Keyworkers- or everyone? |  |

I don’t believe he has stipulated essential work yet? Or maybe I got that wrong.
I think the intent is that the economy continues where businesses are open. So travel to work if you can’t work at home.
We have a few hundred who qualify as key workers and they all have letters that gives them access to schools. I don’t think we’re at the point when the govt is limiting travel to work to these people though.
Public transport will continue to make social distancing an impossibility. |  |

Thats the vague generic list which has been available for a little while I think. Leaves way too much room for people to self-justify. | |

It took the right amount of time. Too many want to panic and rush to decisions. They followed the science. | | | |

Imagine if someone was dropping bombs on us and it went on for years. We have little to complain about. | | | |
