There are reports of a taxi driver who has tested positive to Covid.
He has been in the community while infected for 10 days.
As a result Cairns in FNQ is in a 3 day lockdown from 4 PM today.

As usual the panic buying set in! Police had to respond to 2 women fighting over toilet paper! The local FB page was showing empty shelves, massive lines in supermarkets and traffic jams! Lunancy! It will be longer than 3 days! Contact tracing will be a nightmare when you see the places he/she has been!

We (in our suburb of Brissy) must be used to the very necessary quick lockdowns.
Very few people & all with masks in our grocery store & the stock levels were all normal.
Not much traffic on the local roads as well.

When the current lockdown in Sydney started. In my area I thought here we go again. But over the next week the shelves & aisle were increasingly bulging under the weight of rolls.
People eventually realise that there is enough to go around.
