COVID-19: Discussion of Impact 😷

I do worry about the ā€œsupply chainā€ and for those that don’t have access to paid leave.

If workers in the food supply sector eg. factories, warehouses, transport workers etc get the virus, I fear essentials will be harder to come by. I really hope I’m wrong.

This idiot has changed his mind now and not going to the football and getting tested. Australia’s marketer in chief knows how bad this would’ve looked and of course it’s all about perception. Thinned skinned fool.

OK - the first Mediaspier who is diagnosed with COVID-19 has to self isolate for a week and this means not comment on the site.

Social distancing will then occur for the next month. No one can like their posts.

It’s on an honestly basis and the admission should be made on this thread.

The countdown is on…
