There's a thread called "How safe are bubble canopies" from 2013 here:How safe are bubble canopies?
It refers to someone's floor hatch, and in post #8 Dazza refers to a "good long thread a year or two ago" Someone might be able to fiond it from that.

Turbs. Your list only gives deaths. The numbers for cases is slightly different and with the number of cases increasing rapidly, we are going to see a rapid increase in deaths.
I just made it simple and compared the deaths per 100,000. I know there is a percentage of people who have caught the virus and now have life-long illnesses which will end their lives decades earlier, but the people who have tested positive but gone back to their duties after some or no disability are in the same category and those who might catch the flu, and we could leave all our shops open fpor them
In terms of management, countries which have suffered pandemics have some of the best records.
New Zealand's performance is stunning; Australia is doing very well too.
At the bottom end the strategies and performances are not so good
It has taken less than a week for the Aussie death rate to double.The big rise in Victoria has come after the quaratine and towers blowouts, and is centred around Meatworks and Aged Care Homes.
Not much has been said about the causes in meatworks, but it's intriguing how the virus has spread through a single industry so fast. As they shut down the numbers drop down a fortnight later.
The aged care facilities are a different story, apparently hiring medical staff on a temp basis for a couple of hours a day, leading to the nurses etc adopting a practice of going to up to four homes a day. At a time when we were watching TV footage of families celebrating their grandmother's birthday through windows, apparently these staff were coming from their homes each day and passing through several nursing homes. There was also overlap; different staff had different routes, so if Staff Member 1 who serviced A,B,C,D became infected at home they brought the virus in to those Homes and infected Staff members 2 and 3 who immediately infected Homes E,F,G,H and possibll I,J,K,L and it exploded.
In the very short time it took for the Commonwealth to organise joint teams of medical specialists from Victoria and other States and the Commonwealth, in one home they walked into three people were lying in their beds dead, and this morning it was reported that several others were found starving and dehydrated.
This will have long term repercussions, from the penalties we discussed earlier to the class actions, the need to find a safe place for loved ones etc.
Statistically this has meant an injection of high volume deaths in Victoria and those numbers should drop away after about a fortnight, but DHHS is also saying the leakage in people breaching lockdown conditions is too much to reduce the level of cases and spread.

Yes, there's value in testing, but no value in spouting off about how many you've done, and that was the point being made.
Yes there is but because the number of cases found increases directly with the number of tests done it confuses most people
Active cases in your postcode gives you a good idea of the threat to you if you stay within your postcode, and which nearby postcodes are a threat.

Yes, if you're ever on the Barkly Highway (Camooweal to Three Ways/Tennant Creek) around sunset near the dams and waterholes, you'll usually see flocks of more than ten or twenty thousand budgies flying in formations. It's a stunning sight, completely mesmerising. The starlings in Europe provide a similar phenomenon.

Turbo (currently online schooling an 8yo) was emotionally charged after doing a book review of The Rainbow Fish, in which the student reads the book sixteen times in bentween the "I'm outta heres" felt sorry for these independent, but important memebrs of WF, so he went to the nearest Bunnings (essential supplies) and bought some garden seeds then walked through the aisles (VicPol Ancestry and home address ref) where he bought three of those wheels with pneumatic tyres which never fit anything, 30 cardboard tubes, 4 tarps (you know, wafer thin), 6 lengths plastic pipe, two packets of bolts, 1000 pop rivets, a Honda engine, and 40 metres of rope.

Why be gentle about it? The virus isn't. Or is a bit of paternalistic authority not PC anymore?
I'm really getting sick and tired of people whinging about their personal Rights and completely ignoring their societal Responsibilities. If a person's Rights are more important than their responsibilities to others, then let them go live in isolation from the rest of the world - and produce all the things we take for granted.
I quote from a very well known European tome: 'And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
The words might be gentle, but the Premier a few minutes ago discussing breaches by one pain in thye neck in Victoria said they were not getting a fine, which would have been $1650.00 but would be going through the Court system where the penalty would be closer to $10,000.00 so the bite's starting to be applied to those slow to catch on.

I think the announcements of requirements for public safety under the Health Act are wishy-washy, "Please, if you don't mind" sorts of things whereas the WH&S Act says , "Bloody-well do it and don't whinge!"
True, but I think the idea (in Vic) was to gently move as many people as possible into compliance.
-
I think that any requirement set under the NSW Public Health Act 2010 No 127 is not going to have the force needed to ensure the behaviour required of us all
Public Health Act 2010 No 127 Part 4 Division 4 Section 70
Offence not to comply with public health order
Currently, a "penalty unit" in NSW is $110, making the maximum penalty $11,000
If the authorities want to rotect the community, then this should be the Regulation invoked.
WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT 2011 - SECT 33
Failure to comply with health and safety duty--Category 333 Failure to comply with health and safety duty--Category 3
A person commits a Category 3 offence if--
This makes the maximum penalty $63,250
Let this be known and all the "Bunnings Karens" might at least stay at home. Offences against the WH&S Act or Regulations are offences of strict liability.
Normally in Victoria Health is covered by the Public Health & Wellbeing Act 2008 and Public Health & Wellbeing Regulations 2009, but we are in a declared State of Emergency.
Under the State of Emergency, if a person refuses or fails to comply with a Chief Health Officer Directive the penalty is up to $20,000.00.
If the CHO tells us to do something we have to do it.

PLEASE ALLOW TIME .......
Hundreds of NES followers have contacted me, disturbed about Turbo's apparent absence from Wreck Flying.
Please allow Turbs some time and be patient, as he is tied up at the moment chairing strategy sessions of the Daniel Andrews Re-election Committee.
So it may therefore be a while before Turds returns.
Nobody could say that Cappy isn't quick; the girls used to call him rooster in the old days.
DA (as he is know in the boiler room) send his regards to some WF members.

What does "feeling sick" mean? We have spent our lives with slightly sore throats, sniffles and so on and anyone might say "I will just see how I feel by the end of the day". I don't know whether I would isolate and get tested for a sniffle, I would wait to see if it turned into something more.
You're in the band around from north to west of Melbourne where likely leakage of infections can occur, so it would be worthwhile for you to go on the DHHS site to get the complete symptoms. Department of Health and Human Services Victoria | Latest news - coronavirus (COVID-19)
I'm working on a combination of 3 - so runny nose+sore throat+ temperature, but DHHS and encouraging you to go early and find you're negative than the other way around.

[Turbo doesn't normally respond to Corvette trolls because once his FingerPrint software eventually identifies the troller it is usually a cross dresser who drives a Volkswagen, but this on is straightforward.
The top photo is the current World Champion from the World Concourse D'Elegance held in Nice, France this February. It was sold at the Show for AUD $3 million plus.
The new owner, Damian, has Water Transfer Printed it, and while this might not be to everyone's taste, it's what the Millenials want to see these days. Let's face it when they buy a new pair of jeans they spend the first day curring the knees out.
Not many people know that the Back to the Future films were to be filmed using this Corvette in a deal where General Motors funded the film and the bow tie had to be featured every ten minutes. John Delorean ("Jack" to Turbo) had negotiated the deal, but fired General Motors a few days later and built the Delorean with he last expenses claim. He drove this car off a cliff near Santa Monica where it sat on the sea bed for fifty years. It's good to see it retrieved in such good condition.]

Positive no blame reporting culture

We already have that and I'm not aware of anyone being prosecuted after using it. The policy is designed to encourage people to come forward and admit their mistakes so they can be analysed and all airmen learn from them.
You take a personal risk advising other to keep quiet, particularly when they would have had the protection of the above policy. You become part of the incident.
The Safety Digests have hundreds of positive experiences on record after the pilot self-reported.
