Here in Australia we're urged to stay at home and are banned from gatherings of more than 100 people. It seems each week there's more restrictions on personal freedom's like; travel, attending events, what you can buy, even how to greet people...
I feel like the laws imposed on civilians during an event like this are extremely hard to revoke after the fact, kind of like how airport security was permanently increased after 9/11/2001...
I am australian and also very concerned. The powers currently granted to the QLD Chief Medical Officer sound like they come straight out of North Korea.
