Not that its an option, but I wonder where people would choose this time of year if they had the luxury of just happening to be somewhere isolated where they could enjoy themselves without worrying about this stuff?

I was listening to the tv this morning and they mentioned that they are stopping people with RVs and Campers going to Tasmania. No doubt people trying to go somewhere isolated but still allowing a bit of movement. I can't blame them for that and if I were not working I would have been there even earlier, or even somewhere else remote.

Where would a kiter or windsurfer go this time of year?

in a yacht out to sea

You're on the same wavelength as me!

I wasn't asking for options to go to, but dream places to sit it out if you were already there.

I was up at kitesurfari in Qld a few times, and that is one place I wouldn't mind being isolated for a while, at least after the crocs depart ;-)

The moon!

According to COVID mapping, Libya and North Korea haven't returned any positive results. Maybe go there?

I'm south of Hobart and things are very quiet. Tourists in their caravans and campers who arrived prior to the "shut down" are being catered for as best we can prior to them getting back on the "Spirit" and going home to a 14 day isolation. Most if not all attractions apart from the wilderness are closed down so there really is nothing to do except sit tight and ride it out.
No one foresaw what is happening, TODAY, Christmas time you could buy a ticket, hop on a plane and go anywhere in the world, two weeks ago we witnessed cretins piling their shopping trollies full of bog roll and a plethora of 'virus' jokes that have since dried up now that this s*** has got serious.

Everybody, please, do your little bit and maybe your family and friends will come out the other end relatively unscathed. As for those who cant seem to grasp the situation, stay the f*** away from me and mine.

Hard to go past main beach on the Gold Coast. Got surfing and kite surfing across the road and awesome mountain bike trails 15 minutes away @ Nerang.

Yep blow up the bridge and find out whether all the old roosters will whinge more about not being able to get a haircut as opposed to getting sick

I wouldn't go anywhere the place will be in lockdown soon. Likewise with Tas , last nights news in QLD stated the West Oz government was going to stop people from the city heading to their country retreats . Reason being to holt the spread in rural areas. also read WA were turning Rottnest island into a quarantine area. I don't know how true that is , maybe somebody from WA can inform

I've been lobbying our councillors to close town to any new arrivals inc caravan parks, were struggling with stocks as it is for locals, my cafe's kill it during a busy holiday period but if the town stays open and with full bookings which they currently have ill not be a part of it and close,

Easy, my place. Lots of bush around the house, a large shed full of possibilities, internet and a deserted beach nearby. Either ride to the beach or ride the bush tracks. The local pub is doing takeaway Parmas and my fridge is stocked with beer. Bring on the shut down

Pffffttt... I heard bonobovirus was all over that beach...

Well that gave me a good laugh......!

All jokes aside we are well and truly on the curve.

I hope you are right and its already flattening?

Considering potential delays in reporting it's hard to tell. I suspect yesterdays result is an outlier missing some data and accordingly todays will be higher in compensation. However there would be some hope (probably vain) from that data that the new daily cases are not increasing significantly.

Realistically given that any confirmed cases lag infection by 8-10 days I think we need to keep an eye on what happens in the next 7 days. That will tell the story if the measures taken are working.
