Every family has an idi0t in it. My expended family is no exception , we have more than one unfortunately
My elder brother is an Covidiot who thinks Covid19 is nothing to worry about and it's all a Chinese conspiracy to take down the USA and commies have taken over Australia , I saw a photo of the Sydney COVIDIOT RALLY and was shocked to see my brother's face amongst the crowd , so I've disowned him and blocked his (increasingly more bigotted and toxic) emails and refuse to take calls from his phone numbers . I don't need his nasty BS in my life.
My sister in law became a Melbourne Covid-refugee the day before the hotspot postcodes were shutdown ( I suspect she was sharing a rental house in one of these , she's been very cagy about exactly where she was living ) , sold all her stuff and then drove to Canberra to be met by her daughter who trained to Central and took the XPT from Sydney, and is now living with her in Muswellbrook ( a country town about 2 hours west of Newcastle in central Hunter Valley ).
Needless to say I advised my sister in law VERY STRONGLY NOT TO DO THIS way back in about mid June , and she ignored the advise of that's all over the Victorian Health & Police and NSW health and Police advisories and my advise so my wife and I have taken a very dim view of her stupidly selfish self-centered and dangerous behavior. Worse possible to travel , or decided to move interstate is right in the middle of a ONCE in HUNDRED YEAR PANDEMIC .
I've contacted the mother-in-law's nursing home / aged facility to "put them in the picture" regards these two ( the old lady has been very excited that this daughter who she's not seen for over 10 years was coming back "home" and this is very dangerous to her .
I am very miffed that she and her daughter have done this and am very tempted to contact the NSW Police too but my wife talked me out of it ( for now ) . Anyone else and I'd've reported them in a heart beat.
So since she is now in NSW and is of unknown Covid19 status ( claims she's fine ) I posted this on Facebook as a POST that they can both see :
We've let these two know we have been and are still self isolating and will NOT BE WELCOMING ANY VISITORS AT ALL for the foreseeable future , this includes anyone in the family, nor will we doing meet & greets , or going out anywhere to socialize.
If they take offense to my facebook post , so be it.

Expect all of Melbourne to be locked down soon , too much spill over of covid19 from the already locked down postcodes.
I hope EVERYONE who has left Melbourne in the last week or two AND their contacts does the right thing and self isolates / quarantines ( for at least 4 weeks NOTE it's been proven that 2 weeks is NOT enough unless they have several NEGATIVE Covid19 tests over the two weeks ( MAYBE ?? )) and they make very urgent arrangements to be tested for covid19 ( at the hospital ).
This is not something to downplay and say it's nothing , feeling fine is NO GUARANTEE that you are free of covid19 , and it's known that people who are infected and symptom free are highly infecious from about 2 days after being infected , all they need do to spread this virus is to talk and breath and touch things and use the toilet.
If that puts the wind up you , good , it was meant to.
If they don't they are risking the lives and health of everyone they come into close contact with , especially those who have health issues that make their risk factors very much worse.

If you are 45yrs old the death rate is about 12%.
Goes up very fast every 10 yrs older .
At 80 yrs old it's essentially a death sentence (very few survive if they end in ICU on a ventilator).
