Maybe instead of using location data perhaps someone could write an app that everyone has on their phones that tracks who you’ve been in contact with using bluetooth or something and we could use that instead?
dunno just spitballing here

nah, waste of time, nobody would use it and probably just complain that it didn’t work anyway…

@choppsuey tagging you as well because this is in part responding to your reply to me in the other thread
As has been discussed before this virus is exposing all sorts of issues we already had. Enormous distrust of government and law enforcement being the main one in this instance. Obviously you can’t make a pretty infographic that wipes out decades-old perceptions of politicians being corrupt liars and cops being massive asshols in a few days, but what can we do to mitigate that distrust at least a little bit, just for now?
Sure, we could chuck old mate Shep fkn tyre kicker or whatever they did up in the stocks in Bourke Street Mall for two weeks, that might make us feel a bit better, but will that prevent the same thing happening again? Will it fk.

Think it was Rachel who asked if Dan was listening to Frydenberg.
Dan says listened to Morrison when we were talking yesterday - Morrison did not say that, reiterate that playing politics does not cure a pandemic.
Have you spoken to Gladys recently about NSW border - not very very recently, volunteers that from his dealings with her , respects her as a person of integrity.
Do you really believe that ?
Trying to trace someone who does not cooperate must be painstaking.

Sutton nodded agreement with Sumeyya view that contact tracers could double check what they are being told.

Don’t we have a national wide app?
Why wouldn’t we improve that to do what this app does?
There’s no need to have multiple apps for this.
Delicate balance. At the moment the pleas from DHHS aren’t getting it done either sadly but I totally agree that hammer of justice hanging over people wont work either. Seems the carrot and stick is being applied though reading into Andrews comments today. People will be given the chance and clear understanding to come forward with the truth, and treated with the utmost compassion and support when doing so. But when you slap that away and inevitably get caught out then it’s curtains. Sounds like old mate had plenty of chances.

Contractual obligations may apply with Salesforce if others are not using. But getting them to talk shouldn’t be a huge impost and to be honest it sounds like its a few steps down the road with regards priority, specifically regarding the ability to call up certain tracing data on an individual trying to access a state border.
Everyone wants to be a hero…
“So were you at the victims house the night of the murder?”
“No officer, definitely not.”
“Ah well, that’s good enough for us. Case closed”
As Andrews said today, there are quite a few working that the ATO has no record of.
Truckie may have been moonlighting on butcher shop employer with other work during his work travel… - all saying that butcher shop had meticulous records
“Damn I was really banking on you saying yes there…”

I think it’s a bit more than that though…
Comparatively, the guy would have admitted being at the murder site of 6 cases. Just won’t divulge the 7th.

Hunt coming on big with comparisons between Vic mental health ( although high elsewhere)
Significant announcement, re- announcing existing National health resources while throwing in the ones that Vic has set up as part of everything he is doing.
Spouting Oz wide Covid figures, no one on ventilator, so pleased Vics have improved their act . Not speaking as a Vic today.

I don’t normally go off about these things, but what a FLOG of a human is that guy spreading the virus. It is flogs like him/her that are ruining it for the rest of us.
