State of Emergency isn't about extra police powers.  It gives the Chief Health Officer his extra powers, which flow down.

I've been up North-West Qld for a few weeks and honestly feel for you Southern folk. Another issue with the C19 thingy is that I came across a few Vic and Sth Aussie, older 'Nomads' who have been in Qld since earlier in the year and who are now in a sort of Limbo. They want to go home to see kin but are not quite game to. Some are pretty stressed about it, too!
Also, it hit home, once again, how stupid people can be. I was having a beer over a warming fire, with a young bloke who had been temporarily laid off work and so decided to see a bit of the outback. Now, this fella was born and bred on the Sunshine Coast but told me that he had copped a bit of abuse in his travels, as the Britz camper he had rented had Vic number plates! Shouldn't jump to conclusions, hey!
Anyway, stay safe and sane, you Southerners and hope my pics soothe your souls a little.
Cheers
Steve

I recall seeing an interview with a private security person who said she had only five minutes of training before starting the hotel quarantine gig.
A young friend of the family, who is in the army reserve,was called up as well. The army people all had a full two days training.

I think the issue is nobody really knew how bad this Shit COULD get, and they didnt take it serious with 4 b-doubles of complacency

This will hit tourism hard - and lead to more people running the gauntlet...

Victorians are not expected to be allowed into Queensland until at least Christmas.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said Queensland would remain shut off to NSW and Victorian residents as long as there was still evidence of community transmission of COVID-19.

that could be years.

She might only be premier for about 6 more weeks though, the LNP were pressing for her to open it earlier, if they happen to win they might have a different outlook, but who knows what the future holds. I suspect now with QLDers also having to hotel quarrantine when reentering the state, that hard borders might be a bit lees popular as time goes on.

[bmwfreak]

The mighty dollar Trumps all. Look how well the community in the States is doing, with a capitalist calling the shots🤔

Opening the borders, any of them that are currently locked down, will result in a similar issue to what Victorian residents have been seeing for the last 6 weeks. Admittedly the people dying are all old, and so pretty useless to the future generations, but still....

LNP went very , very quiet when the second wave hit down South and Qld shut the borders. No more screaming to open them up...especially when vast majority of Queenslanders wanted them shut (over 75% according to the article I read).  Certainly the shutting of borders will get less popular...until NSW gets a second wave. I believe that Qld will see another lock down...after all we are relying on people to do the right thing!!.   Funny how the local tourist operators are now offering 40% off to all locals....Suddenly they want to give us a bargain because they cant rip off the internationals any more..

[Hairs]

Just do it.

IF your not feeling well, go to hospital..

...... no wait

Apparently because the ****s over west transferred their covid patients to Frankston to ease up the pressure over there and now look whats happened. 

In a statement released late on Wednesday night, Peninsula Health, which oversees the running of Frankston Hospital, confirmed 40 nursing staff, four doctors, five support staff members and two Allied Health employees have so far tested positive to COVID-19.

"We were alerted to an increased number of staff cases at Frankston Hospital on Sunday, and immediately responded by calling in external experts to support our response," Peninsula Health chief executive Felicity Topp said.

"We immediately closed a number of wards to admissions and all potentially affected staff and patients were tested. We also started contact tracing to identify anyone else who may have come into contact with an infected person. This process is currently in the final stages."

It was gunna happen, sure as the sun came up this morning.

With what Qld has seen happen in Victoria and NSW, I would hope, we are a tad smarter and not push our luck and behave ourselves.

You wonder if this out brake will be traced back to those that broke the rules coming in to Queensland?

And quite a comprehensive list of places that they visited while potentially infectious.

And I just happened to have a meeting with a crew from Q-Build inside the men's prison the day before all of this latest stuff came out in the media.
I know a couple of them had just come over from the women's prison, waiting to hear back with confirmation if any of them had also been at the youth site as well.

This aint looking promising

More than 700 Frankston Hospital staff have been in isolation in the past few days after potential exposure to coronavirus following a major outbreak that has led to more than 50 staff being infected.

The huge number of furloughed staff has fuelled concerns about patient care and medical services in the hospital and comes a day after the Andrews government conceded about "70 to 80 per cent" of healthcare workers infected with COVID-19 during the state's second wave of infections caught it at work.
