    I'm thinking of getting SWMBO to make me a T-shirt with "Pox carrier" or "Medically compromised Lifeform" on it, to wear down the park while walking the dogs.

    Bugger, and bottoms !!!!
    Sally and I have have made the decision, that if we go into lock down, it will be in Melbourne looking after Sal,s elderly father,
    It’s the right thing to do.

    But my toy tools will be one hour 45 minutes away!!!
    Looks like I’m reading and posting inappropriate remarks on social media.


    Cheers Matt.

    perhaps the T-shirt message should be

    should you compromise my social distance you might be spat upon

    to lighten the tone somewhat ...

    that T-shirt idea reminds me of the text I once suggested be worn by a female dog walker

    He's gay, I'm available




    I'm not sure how the arrow would be positioned.
    (Idea borrowed from the I'm with an idiot T-shirt)

    I work from home, but this is not the same thing. I have my professional rooms (like a granny flat) built above the garage. From there I see patients through the day.

    I have a large - LARGE - sign on the front door, as well as another inside the entrance, which ask everyone to wash their hands upon entering and before sitting down in the waiting room ... I go around spraying and wiping down surfaces between every patient, where they sat, what they may have touched ... bloody exhausting. 8 hourly appointments each day.

    The first patient - a father brings in his son - and I ask them “Did you wash your hands ... did you see the signs”. Blank stares ... “Yes, I washed my hands at home this morning ... “ No, they did not read the signs.

    Some of the kids pretend to wash, and require supervision to ensure compliance. It’s a new test for Oppositional Defiance Disorder!

    Not everyone is like this.

    I am taking a week off as I have mild asthma from a postnasal drip (allergy). I need to be well and not lower my immunity. I am going to reduce the number of appointments I make each day, and look into on-line consulting.

    Regards from Perth

    forgive my ignorance, but is there a Medicare rebate for online consulting?

    Ian, Medicare have just released a new set of rebate claiming and criteria for Covid-19 ...

    New MBS telehealth items for the coronavirus - Services Australia

    This does not mean that I can simply see everyone via telephone or video conferencing ... unless I was also deemed to be at-risk. If I do not meet the criteria simply because I am a Provider of services. In effect, I am on the "front line", so to speak (along with teachers, supermarket checkout staff, and others meeting people everyday).

    Derek, I didn't expect my question to elicit such a reply.
    It's sort of a bit off topic for this particular thread but it does suggest that the contention that Centerlink "needs time to adjust our systems" before splashing the $750 in cash around in a new, perhaps less than favourable, for Centerlink, light.


    Can't have the "stimulus money" appearing in the current bush fire affected quarter can we now??



    Thank you for sharing

    Hi Ian

    I thought a bit more detail would be useful for anyone here who wants support and needs to know the ins-and-outs.

    I have constant input via the health departments.

    I was referring to a post in, I think, the Corona virus = empty shelves thread, that suggested that Centerlink would need time to adjust their systems before they could "splash the cash".

    Given that Government services essentially use different parts of the same IT platform, confirmation that the "splash" is apparently being delayed till next quarter is interesting...

    sorry I was laughing at the story about the guy sticking his head in the car, and the t-shirts, still getting a handle on the controls for those quotation box thingies.

    When I get my $750 "splash" if I am lucky it might ALMOST cover the increase in meat prices for a month or two. I can't see it leaving enough to create an economic stimulus of discretionary spending.
    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.
