Maybe she was scared to be there? One thing we all know about these media stories is they slant it whatever way gets the most clicks now. Not saying she was right in any way but people do dumb things when they're scared. I don't get why she didn't just say she felt sick ... same thing, same result ... no?

I guess Canada is just sending those with symptoms to airport hotels to isolate them rather than everyone. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, like another poster stated, was not a supporter of Trudeau's. I believe he has performed quite well though. I think he could have moved a bit quicker but that is easy to say in hindsight. We shall see how well things are going in the next 10-14 days though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragging anyone off to a hotel for a 2 week stay regardless of if they're an Australian citizen or permanent resident. Forced coronavirus quarantine for all people returning to Australia All passengers who arrive in Australia after midnight on Saturday will go into mandatory quarantine in hotels for a fortnight, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced. Concerns have been raised about people not adhering to self-isolation requirements, particularly after getting off cruise ships. Defence Force personnel will be brought in to support state and territory police in enforcing the mandatory quarantine and the self-isolation rules that apply to people who are already in Australia or who arrive before the Saturday midnight deadline. Mr Morrison said two-thirds of the nation's confirmed cases of coronavirus had come from people travelling from overseas. "States and territories will be quarantining all arrivals through our airports in hotels and other accommodation facilities for the two weeks of their mandatory self-isolation before they are able to return to their home," he said. "If their home is in South Australia, or in Perth, or in Tasmania and they have arrived in Melbourne, they will be quarantining in Melbourne." They dragged their feet so badly to start this. There was a cruise ship in Perth a week or so ago and 3,000 Americans got off to visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Damn it, First Boris and now Doris. ESPN broadcaster Doris Burke tests positive for coronavirus ESPN broadcaster Doris Burke has tested positive for COVID-19. She revealed the news to her colleague Adrian Wojnarowksi on his podcast. Burke told Wojnarowski that she started feeling symptoms on March 11, the day she worked the Denver Nuggets-Dallas Mavericks game on the final night of NBA play before the league suspended games. ‘I’m doing well’ “I’m doing well,” Burke told Wojnarowski. “I’m doing quite well now, to be perfectly honest with you.” Burke felt ‘extraordinary fatigue’ Burke recalled when she first felt symptomatic during a lunch meeting prior to the Nuggets-Mavericks game. “I remember sitting at lunch with my broadcast crew for that evening,” Burke said. “ ... I looked at my colleagues ... and said ‘I am so tired right now. My head is pounding.’” Burke told Wojnarowski that “extraordinary fatigue” was the primary symptom that prompted her to request a COVID-19 test. “I kid you not, I could not be out of bed for five minutes without needing to go back to bed and lay down,” Burke said. Results arrived 8 days after test Doris Burke said she's doing well after testing positive for COVID-19.

You know, it's in times of crisis that I really decide who I support. Most politicians will say/do things to get elected...it's how they come through when we really need them that counts. I, too, have been changing my mind recently. My boss was a good example....thought because he donates to charities, is a vegetarian/loves animals that he was "good". Saw when it was $$ or people that he can be very bad. Lost all respect for him during this deal. Not a leader at all except to "boss" people around. Was very eye opening. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some young people get very nervous about jobs/bosses, etc. It's sad that she's having to contend with "fraud" charges in a time where she likely just needed support. Some bosses make it impossible to communicate with them and can have their own ideas set in stone. I wonder how many employers should be under fire with Worksafe for demanding employees work in an unsafe environment? Without putting in policies/procedures to protect them? There's that side too.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
