Coronavirus: No handshakes and hugs for forseeable future, top nurse says
Handshakes and hugging are simply off the cards for Australians for the foreseeable future, the nation’s top nurse has said.
“We have reached a point at the moment where a handshake is no longer something we should be doing socially,” Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer Alison McMillan said today.
“It has very much become part of our culture over a very long time, handshakes are something we should avoid at this point in time — we all know that.

“If you are within your family unit, the people you live with, if it is your children or your loved ones, of course if they live with you, you can hug.
“When it comes to the broader community and hugging others outside of your family unit, then no we really think at this point in time we need to think of innovative and different ways to show a welcome or a greeting to someone but not a hug.
“At some point perhaps in the future we may reach a point where we will see hugging again, but not at this point in time.”

Ms McMillan’s comments come as Australia today recorded 216 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours and 17 deaths.
The new cases include 208 in Victoria, four in New South Wales, two in Queensland and one in both South Australia and Western Australia.
The new deaths also bring the nation’s toll since the beginning of the pandemic up to 502, while there are still 4261 active cases of coronavirus across the country.

It’s called “depersonalization” and is a favorite communist tactic which destroys societies by fostering mistrust and outright dehumanization, making it easier to effect a takeover.
The “small hats”, being the inventors of communism, have been promoting these tactics all throughout the world.
The sad part of all this bull crap cov-19 thing is, it appears to be working Anarchyst. I refuse to give into the insanity being sold as a pandemic. I prefer to remain a free thinking human being. Lets pray that the majority of the good folks of the world are on the same page.
I’d pray to that.
18 years before the Communist Manifesto, Joseph Smith wrote the 531 page antidote for Satan’s Communism, which is a counterfeit of God’s Government in the USA. It’s called the Book of Mormon.
Was Joseph Smith an American “small hat” on a mission? I’m pretty dang sure he was.
Takes a Jew to beat a Jew. I would know.
The movie “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” comes to mind.
The book by Ken Kesey is great.
Ratchett’s baby sister…….
In their pursuit of public safety using “science” the knuckleheads don’t seem to care if they’re restricting freedom of assembly. Fabulous Gov. Murphy was confronted about this obvious problem and like most Progressive idiots, doesn’t seem to care as long as the rule is enforced.
So I suppose meeting someone of the opposite sex and sharing saliva is right out. What a shitty time to be young. Your education is a joke, your nation is overrun with invaders, music is mindlessly primitive and computer-generated, cars are expensive non-user-maintainable plastic cellphones on wheels, girls are fat, tatted and angry, and if you stumble across one who isn’t you can’t get within 6 feet of her. If I was a young man I think I’d be on a motorcycle searching for the most rebellious non-commie tatless hottie I could find, ‘cuz fuck this ghey earth.
Very close to Shakesphere, right there!
Socking useless shits in the face is still acceptable, and even more encouraged than before.
When I saw that woman and read what she said, I had to wonder why no one has punched her yet.
I’m not inclined to hug or shake hands with those wearing face diapers, which happens to be about 95% of the people I see. Anti-social distancing seems to be a good idea when you’re dealing with the criminally or habitually insane.
Ran into an older neighbor I hadn’t seen since this all started. He is in his late 70s I’d say. He immediately reached out his hand to shake mine. I happily did. Good to know of another who hasn’t lost their mind. A rare thing these days.
Some years back, I almost moved to Australia. Most folks down there are decent enough, but their urban political class combines the worst aspects of the British Labour Party and the Mafia, overlying a major substratum of ignorance. Maybe worse than Austin.
They gave up their guns. maybe not all of them, but just about. This made them all easier to control.
Semi autos yes. Unintended consequence is that we are better shots today than what we were when we had “spray and pray”. There are still a shitload of rifles about, don’t you worry about that Jana.
It seems apparent Australia and New Zealand are much further down the progressive rabbit hole.
Has LLOPH gone dark?
Best wishes if things are difficult.
Must be the ugly mug in PA’s sister. Where do they get these fuglys who obtain higher office???
Your no spring chicken, Calexico.
I struggle to understand the pussification of what was once a penal colony full of some of the toughest nastiest men on the planet.
Do they take soy injections?
Hey Llpoh, can I give you a man hug? Come on my Injun friend.
old tank did 3, but pretty sure alison can fit 4 tennis balls in her mouth.
Sorry but no government can mandate that and were I a citizen I would totally ignore her. Contact is vital to human heath and no government has the right to restrict it nor can they even if they wanted to. What an idiot.
