I quite like the one suggesting that in 2033, they would be called Quaranteens...
Since someone asked what happens if entry is refused, normally people are put on the next available flight back, or not allowed to board in the first place.

@Siam not quite deserving, I could have frantically scrambled and made the last flight out tonight to avoid the 14 days, but I chose not to. Jusy too hard, too much effort to leave the family etc.
So I'm throwing my hat into the "let's wait and see what the happens" ring instead!

@chimoaus If the staff are sick, as much sick leave as they have balances for, possibly with a bit of their next entitlement in advance, and then annual leave if everyone agrees.
If it's a lack of work due to a major travel downturn, then sick leave doesn't apply, and it's whatever they agree - probably annual leave and then leave without pay, maybe a combination of the two. I'm sure the unions and Air NZ are working behind the scenes to come up with a plan that's adequate for the workers in the circumstances.
Since the government is the major shareholder in Air NZ, they could put in a cash injection if required for the shorter term, but if the business has to scale down dramatically for 2-3 years, it's probably redundancies and apologies.

How does AirNz survive something like this? How much sick leave do they pay all their staff if they have no passengers to fly?
They are already considering lay offs. I know an employee who worked through the SARS episode, she said it took them 2 years to recover

I wonder how sex workers will implement the social distancing? Might be time to buy shares in pornhub, going to be lots of people on their own with time to spare.
Per the guidance I saw its only for time periods of 15mins or more. So should be fine....

I am meant to be flying over to Sydney next month for a concert. I am fully expecting the concert to be cancelled as the band is scheduled to be touring SE Asia and Korea/Japan either side of the Aust dates. But, if by some chance, the gig is on I will still go and self-isolate on my return.

Good piece
I'm shocked a never Trumpet hates Trump and finds fault with his handling. Shocked I tells ya.... I am annoyed I read that, it is so incredibly dishonest.
People are the worst.On the news last.. In the same article they literally blamed Trump for overreacting at the same time as blaming for not taking it seriously enough. The media suck donkey balls.
