Hmmm, where did Victoria's Corona virus come from, it seems it has escaped from quarantine via a guard/s who caught it off a returnee who may have been a Queenslander for all we know.

Read about the SA premier complaining they have had to handle 2000 returnees since the pandemic began and now they will charge them for the quarantine as its to expensive. The other states namely VIC & NSW it appears were handling thousands per week and covering the expense themselves.

Yes VIC stuffed up but I wonder what the situation would look like now if the incoming travellers had been evenly distributed over all the states?

Must admit Queensland was smart when they discovered they had to start taking their fair share of returned travellers after VIC being shut down, they were the first to start charging for quarantine stays to dissuade travellers from wanting to go fly into there even if they were Queenslanders.


When you look at the chart in the attached article it would appear that NSW has done the heavy lifting. Also if you think of the statistics in relation to population in each jurisdiction it probably is an even distribution. Probably most arriving passenger are from NSW and Vic.

The global influenza count can vary between 250,000 to 600,000 annually, depending on the year/strain.

Influenza is not something to sneeze at.....

dozen teenagers fines 24,000 for doing a runner from Melb - > Qld....

Quote
The six Victorians were travelling in a minivan when they arrived at the border.

The passengers hopped out and tried crossing it on foot but police spotted them.

Location settings and photos on their phones revealed they’d been in Victoria within the past 14 days.

They were each fined $4000 each, making it a $24,000 dollar trip.


“100 per cent we definitely knew we were breaking the rules,” one of the fined travellers said.

“Money doesn’t run the world it’s all good,” another added.

The infringement was the last thing police needed to deal with on an already backlogged border.


Yep... message is gettin through

Meanwhile, Mr Miles confirmed Australian singer and television personality Dannii Minogue received a state government exemption and avoided hotel quarantine upon returning to Queensland from the US.

Speaking on ABC Radio Brisbane on Tuesday, Mr Miles said Ms Minogue was instead allowed to quarantine for two weeks in her own home.

I was going to make a joke on here last week about the service NSW website crashing from all of the Victorians trying to change their license plates to NSW and try to get into QLD. ;D

Turns out it was actually happening for real..... ::)

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-14/nsw-mechanics-switch-victorian-number-plates-border-closures/12453622

“Service NSW recorded a 23 per cent increase in vehicle registrations late last week

....

A number of NSW residents told the ABC they had Victorian number plates and licences because it was cheaper, particularly for caravans.”

There is speculation that this is actually our first turn. https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/news/coronavirus-in-australia-experts-say-suppression-was-a-mistake/news-story/3379d05b482209764243815bd4246e0c
Previously almost all cases were mostly linked to arriving international travellers and the lock-downs pretty much knocked it on the head. What we're seeing for the first time now is widespread and uncontrolled community cross-contamination in the general populous.... like the rest of the world has already been going through.
Quote
“Obviously in March when we were all very worried, it was a little bit unclear how much of the virus was in the community,” Professor Talley said.

“Some of us worried it was widespread. But if it was, the first lockdown knocked that off. It looks as if most of it was international travellers.

“Now in Victoria and possibly NSW we have widespread community transmission. That is new. That’s why I say this is the first real wave. We had a trial wave. We eliminated it, but now we are not in that situation so it’s all changed. It’s a different enemy.”

Fake news
Too much testing
a Democrat plot against the economy
Were doing really well, the numbers are great
Big progress being made
we put the flame out — getting rid of the flame; it’s happening
the crisis is being handled
We’ve implemented an aggressive strategy to vanquish and kill the virus
These are historic numbers in a time that a lot of people would have wilted; they would have wilted.  But we didn’t wilt, and our country didn’t wilt.
And I’m very honored to be your President. Thank you very much. Thank you.
