Since we cannot travel and are distancing...

...this seems like a good idea.

I was just joking with a relative, from a distance, how there would probably be a good market for stock photos of someone wearing a scuba tank, regulator, and mask while sitting in an office at a desk working. Full wetsuit and gloves would probably also help. Contained air supply and various protective equipment.

Or going out in public wearing FFM with BC and cylinder.... That's pretty much the peak level of "isolation" in public...

Apparently they've been asked to "stay at home". I assume that means 14 days. We also had another ship dock today in Melbourne (Golden Princess). It's unclear if they've been asked to stay at home but it seems all on board were tested.

And you're also correct, OZ is general is following the US path, whereas we should be looking closer and mirroring the best out of Asia, especially countries that have been there done that (similar) before; HK & SARS, SK and MERS. Singapore's doing waaayyyyyyyyy better at tackling this than what we are at this stage (with our fragmented State / Federal approach).

In Taiwan anyone who has to self isolate is tracked by the GPS on their phone. The address they give will be visited. One guy decided to ignore that ..... fined US$32,000 expensive less. I know some people who are doing self isolation and the police called his cell at 7am. He didn't answer and they went to his house. Lucky he was just jet lagged and sleeping. Australia is a basket case no one in Australia will really self isolate. It's OK Mate fark me I'm not sick ya silly xxxx. Time to go to the pub for a beer.
