All due to quick and effective lockdown and now minimal cases
Says the guys that’s going to be posting that he tested positive in a few weeks.
In Australia?
Not likely.
They are basically an island. It is an unfair comparison.

I think some people just forget to take it off.
It's hard for me to make it through a grocery store run. I'm not claustrophobic but I feel a panic attack coming on when I wear one too long. I wear it as long as I can and I'm pulling it down to breathe through my nose. Too much of that and I'm taking it off. Period.
It's a serious problem for many people but I make the effort for my mom and my husband. I do try to go when there aren't as many people around but that doesn't always work out.

It's not really though is it. If the leadership had been as dismissive and people as unwilling to follow direction it would be just as rife here.
Just wear the damn mask. It wont be for ever hopefully haha

Have you tried these? They really help from feeling like you’re getting suffocated.

Not sure why it's unfair. All countries can close their borders. I don't think our COVID issues are due illegals crossing the border.

Wait didn't someone try to close the borders when this all started here in the US?
Does this mean Australia is racist and xenophobic?

The new virus cluster is from overseas returned travellers. Again, we'll see how successful a lockdown can be when politicians in a country act like adults and citizens don't act selfishly.

It's hilarious when you realize that the article is from the very lefty site Vox. But that's most likely beyond your comprehension.

I am sure Trump is Australian. That would explain the tan, and the excessive emphasis on great.

Great Australian Bight

I have not. I was trying to not buy a bunch of mask stuff because I was hoping it would just go away. Naive, I know. I have one cloth mask and several N95 masks from our stash we use when burning leaves. I just didn't want to spend the money but it looks like I'm going to have to. Thanks for the link. I'm going to put those in my cart for my next order. Hopefully they work because that feeling of suffocating sucks.

They keep the fabric off your nose and mouth. I can’t wear a mask without one now!
