I 100% agree that exercise and some form of escape will be key for everyone as this period of self isolation deepens. Whether that is a game if golf, going for a surf, fishing (shore or boat) etc is what is best, needed, by / for each person. Everyone is different. Responsible self distancing and limited interaction with others is key. Travel distance within reason is not the issue IMO.
Bigger risks and issues in the local supermarket or Bunnings. FFS, some people just don’t get the distancing idea. I’d rather police issue fines in the supermarket or shopping centre than have them worry about a few people walking on the beach. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying congregation at beach is ok, but FFS, if you’re in the surf and someone is within 1.5m of you they feel like they are in your wetsuit with you. Surfers are easily more than 1.5m apart nearly all the time, even in crowded lineups. Every crowded surf lineup picture needs to be run parallel with a picture of the local Coles or Woolies.
@Commish hope all is going as well as can be expected for your Mrs. Been there done that and would hate to be going through any of it with this bug in the community.Stay safe everyone.

To my mind a lot of this is quite ridiculous. Donāt get me wrong Iām all for reducing spread and social distancing. Iāve closed my business and have zero income. So I am onboard. Family does not leave the house. But if I or any of my family want to do a sport, be it surfing, running, golf whatever where I am basically on my own then let me do it. And driving in a car any distance is not a problem.
Having said that quite a lot of cars still on the road. Canāt tell me everyone is doing allowed work, food shopping, going to a funeral etc.If, as they say, immunisation is at least a year away, then we will all get this virus at some point.
Considering how rampantly infectious the virus is and if left to run in the wild, we would soon swamp our medical facilities. Hence the need to flattern the curve so that our requirements for hospitalisation are kept under control.
So, keeping the infection rate at a gradual pace, the sooner we all get infected and over it (hopefully not dead), the sooner we can all get our lives back in order.I wonder how it will all pan out.
People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
No championships worth mentioning in recent years.

OK, let’s just play a numbers game …
20% of infected cases require hospital care, around 1/2 of them, so 10% of those infected (young or old) require ICU level care (respirators, high flow oxygen, critical care nursing).
If as reported we have around 2200 ICU beds in the whole of Australia, and the government and health system can increase that to say 5000 beds. Take out 10% for ‘other illness’ impacts like Stroke, Heart Attack, Car Accident, Worksite Accident etc, we have at best 4500 ICU beds.
Simple maths means if we get to 45,000 confirmed cases, our ICU is overloaded and serious Triage decisions get made.
Over 70 with a preexisting health condition of any kind will be first to stop receiving treatment. Then if load still too much for ICU, it will drop to over 65 with any preexisting health issues to no longer receive treatment. If still overloaded, it will be ANYONE with any preexisting condition.
So, while a ‘herd immunity’ idea might sound like a good idea, the impacts are HUGE.
Our ONLY chance is to not get near the 45,000 – 50,000 confirmed cases.
We HAVE to flatten the growth curve. Current effect are not good enough.
Again, some simple maths … current growth rates of confirmed cases (and yes, still not enough testing, so really way more in the community, plus false negative runs at 20% too) we are around 10% minimum (official growth around 6%, but testing lags and error rates make it an easy 10%) … so, at our current rate, we are in ICU meltdown stages by middle of Winter.
Follow the timeline through and we do not get out of the lock down phase until October at the earliest.
Listen to the language used by ScoMo n co … it’s gone from “6 months” to “at least 6 months’ … population is being conditioned. Great ready for a long period of disruption.

Today is officially work day 16 of isolation. We were notified to work from home on 13th March. So this is the start of week 4.
Things seem to be working ok – we use conferencing a lot anyway, so no real change there.
And it’s difficult to see this changing in the next few months, really. My wife has been working from home for nearly 2 weeks now, my adult aged children are doing Uni from home. The dog has had the living shit walked out of him!
We’ve been told we need to book a couple of weeks of leave – one over Easter, and another before the end of September. Now whilst there’s not much at the moment we can do with that leave, I’m just happy that I’ve still got a job and getting paid in the current environment.
I would really like to get out on the course sooner rather than later, though. I suspect the 19 in COVID will be the amount of kilos I stack on in the iso state. I think I’m 2 up as I type. Sad face.

Yep…trying to get out with the dog in between the showers/rain we’ve had over the last few days. Depending on where the rain comes from depends on how long of a walk she gets. š

Contrary to you, I’ve been losing weight and I’m allergic to exercise except for golf.
I put it down to not having a few schooners every couple of days and no social get togethers. 3kg so far.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
