How to cope with the corona virus ..facts- not fiction.

[DandyD]

That's what we're trying to achieve here with a lockdown. It sucks for a lot of people, but if we don't keep our cases near zero, we don't know the outcome if we let it go out of control ?

I can hazard a guess.

Illness and death is relatively low in the UK, despite a rise in infections because a large proportion of the population has been vaccinated. Most of the Delta (Indian) variant deaths have been older people who had refused the vaccine.

I suspect that CV (including the Delta variant) is currently causing fewer fatalities than common or garden flu at the moment, despite widespread infection.

Due to very few people coming in from overseas, flu cases are very few this last year.

According to govt website for flu stats, there has been 300 cases of flu reported since April, with no deaths.

For a small population, we are still having trouble getting everyone ( who wants to ) vaccinated ..

Regional NSW.
Son needed masks for work this morning.

[Hairs]

FM, the date roll panic buying has hit Grafton.
Maclean SPAR, same thing, Son came home from working there, shelves stripped of toilet paper, customers abusing staff over not having enough.
WTF is wrong with people?

Adelaide has just closed their borders too to Qld, NT and ACT

[DandyD]

Is it the delta variant that has got in?

[Hairs]

Is it the delta variant that has got in?

I believe so.
That's why the restrictions are harder for regional NSW.

[Hairs]

Here is one of things that doesn't add up.
Tonight's Origin game, people must wear masks while queuing to enter the stadium, but once inside they can remove them, put them back on when leaving, yet mingle at the pubs before hand.
Who makes this Shiite up?

[DandyD]

It makes you wonder how it got in when quarantine is so strict. At least it looks strict from the outside.

We were due back in December, but that isn't going to happen.

These were this morning's major headlines:


    NSW recorded 30 new cases of COVID-19, all linked to the Bondi cluster. Ten cases were traced to the Great Ocean Foods seafood wholesaler in Marrickville, and Premier Gladys Berejiklian warned case numbers are likely to increase beyond what we have seen today as people's household contacts test positive in the coming days.

    Victorian health authorities are following up with 128 passengers who were on a flight from Brisbane to Melbourne with a potentially infectious flight attendant. The state recorded no new cases on Sunday.

    Queensland recorded two new cases of COVID-19 in the community. The Brisbane couple has the Alpha strain, and authorities are determining whether they are linked to a cluster that emerged from Brisbane's Four Points quarantine hotel earlier this month.

    In WA, the Perth and Peel regions will go back to phase one restrictions over fears a new COVID-19 community case is the quick to spread Delta variant. The snap reaction from the WA government has been prompted by a woman in her 50s returning a positive COVID-19 test last night: she had recently been in Sydney and had brunch at the Lyfe Cafe in Bondi on June 19.
   
And the Northern Territory has recorded four new cases of COVID-19 linked to a gold mine worker who acquired the virus in a Queensland quarantine hotel, plunging Darwin and the surrounding areas of Litchfield and Palmerston into a two-day lockdown. The outbreak has sent several state and territory health authorities scrambling to trace 900 contacts who have departed the mine site and dispersed across Australia.

There's more on the shelves there than here at Parkes

In less than a week, Shite has hit the fan again.
WOW, wonder what the next fortnight will bring?

That's the problem, they haven't got their head around how to quarantine properly. This last stuff started from a driver who transports flight addendants  to their quarantine hotel wasn't wearing a mask.

Who makes this Shiite up?

Just watching Brisbane news and they crossed to Lang Park, not a mask to be seen, with people jumping all over each other dribbling and shouting those simpleton words, Queenslander. Sums up the mentality of Qld football supporters.

I'm sure Qld will announce a lockdown tomorrow commencing at 18.00 and would have done it earlier except the game is on.

[Hairs]

I really can't see us going to the V8's on the 10th of next month, not the way things are changing so quick.
Oh well, a lot more people have bigger worries.

You'll be alright mate. Us greater Sydney people finish lockdown on the 9th, maybe earlier, but being regional, barring a big blowout, you presently have no problems travelling there ATM....only an entry permit to fill out.

At this stage,
Anything is possible, specially with tonight's State of Origin.
Lets not forget this thing has an incubation time of nearly a week.

DCE, is starting to niggle in tackles, other QLD players are as well, they are getting frustrated, they've lost focus

I wouldn't be putting any money on that going on the way Vic lockdowns have gone......sorry

We might have a bit of a problem ATM, but we've shown we can get on top of it pretty quick.     
You Mexicans have never handled it well !!

30 local cases and rising in the last 24 hours, I'm not sure it's going away soon...

You reckon Newcastle will be any different for the third game?
