No magic switch
Why is it that a lot of people think there is a switch that will turn off the virus when we go into lockdown 2? They seem to think that as soon as the rules are relaxed that they can't catch it and can start socialising again.
Sorry, the risk is exactly the same as it was the day before. THERE IS NO "ON/OFF" SWITCH.
I urge you all to stay within the rules, keep your distance, and keep washing your hands. If this gets away again we will be living in a third world economy, our way of life will likely never return. Not in our lifetimes anyway.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
