Good to see that SA has gone hard and early based on the how not to do it Victoria template. No dithering, bowing to cultural diversity or minority concerns , just crush it.

Anyhow, I believe the rule is that if you are at a picnic, and eating and drinking, then masks are not required in that setting. I've seen public BBQ areas and parks littered with people having picnics without masks, police walking past, and no issues. Take a stroll down Alexander Pde near the botanical gardens one evening and you'll see what I mean. |

Wow I see. According to googlemaps there is another route without going through Vic (assuming you don't start or end in Mildura), but its an extra 43km and approx 40m drive. Multiply that many times and I can see why they would want to keep the borders open.

The other way (Adelaide to Sydney) is through Broken Hill but that is about 300km more. |

Gag inducingly back of the throat, and eye wateringly up the nose. Not pleasant, but only lasts a couple of seconds, and you get over it. I have seen on TV people being tested and the swab being held at 90 degrees to their nasal passage, and then complaining on TV about how terrible the procedure was. The in-car testing in NSW ( well, in our regional area anyway) was phone a number, get a time to be there (within about 6 hours, be on time, do not be early or late) and results SMS'd within 24 hours. |

So Pfizer came out just a week and a bit ago and claimed 90% efficacy for their vaccine. Immediately after, Russia claimed 92%. Last night Pfizer claimed they are now 95% Also worth noting the CEO of Pfizer sold a few million bucks worth of shares on the day of the 90% efficacy announcement, but apparently that was preset and is not an uncommon practice
https://www.theage.com.au/world/nort...18-p56fwe.html PS. Also fact checked myself on an earlier post about PCR and the inventor maybe having said it wasn't the appropriate test to use for CV19. Apparently its false. The inventor died a few months before CV19 appeared, so he could never have made such a claim. https://in.reuters.com/article/uk-fa...-idUSKBN24420X |

One noticeable difference to our lockdown VS the Vic lockdown, is there has been no mention of how much they can fine us for doing the wrong thing. Strong words about dealing with anyone trying to "get out" of the restrictions but nothing about how much they can take from us for not wearing a mask, walking outside, etc

It's not yet mandatory to wear a mask, just strongly recommended when you leave your property.
There is a chance I have to work and I ride to work so tried to find definitive info and on the govt website it says they aren't mandatory. That may change as the days go by though. https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/restr...-at-home#other

Yeah, I saw they quickly relaxed the mask rule. Cant wear one if there's none available.
Someone told me 700,000 of them were being distributed through Drakes stores, but yet to verify. |

Only ended up at cheap as chips by chance as the lineup to aldi and drakes was ridiculously long. Bunnings normally have plenty, but even though hardware stores were exempt ( i believe) they have decided to close.

Data valid as at 23:59 GMT November 18th, 2020.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 17 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR drops to 3.265% while active cases rise to 1,364. NSW recorded 7 cases, WA 6, SA 2 while Queensland and the NT recorded 1 each. 3 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.245% and active cases rise to 64. The UK had a lower 19,609 cases yesterday. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR but even using their method they recorded 529 deaths. Just over 161.5k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,691 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.173% and active cases rise to 37.2% with the raw numbers rising and now over 4.3M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases pass 56M with the last 1M taking 2 days; Global deaths pass 1.35M with the last 50k taking 6 days Global deaths set a new daily record of 10,791; The USA completes 172M, India 127M, Russia 70M, Saudi Arabia 9M, Pakistan 5M and Kazakhstan 4M tests. Albania (711); Luxembourg (892); Algeria (1,038); Palestine (1,251); Malaysia (1,402); North Macedonia (1,402); Moldova (1,607); Croatia (3,251); Serbia (5,613); Jordan (7,933) - 23% above the high yesterday; Romania (10,269); and Iran (13,421) ... all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.
