Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[jakeseven7]

Wow NSW presser is a picture of calm and sanity compared to the unhinged hot mess in QLD. Nice to see some grown ups in charge.

22 cases locally acquired.
11 in isolation.
6 were infectious in the community.

NSW reports 22 community transmission cases​

"To date our fears about huge escalation haven't materialised and we certainly want to keep it that way," the NSW Premier says.

Good to see cases going sideways and not growing.

Hopefully in the next day or so, all NSW local cases will all be at home and not in the community.

Anecdotally still some people not really following stay at home - sigh.

And all 22 linked

I hope they rebuke the QLD GOV comments about AZ in the questions

I think the worst part of AP's performance was this comment which I saw on the ABC Covid blog.
"Now, in Queensland, we always follow the advice of the chief health officer. So, I urge Queenslanders to listen to Dr [Jeanette] Young, and follow the advice of our chief health officer."

As a physician can I implore every Queenslander not to take the Premiers advice.Please do not listen to our CHO's advice on any health matters.

They did.

Gladys clearly attended a different National Cabinet to AP

Loved the part where she repeatedly thanked the GP’s and kept dropping that she had AZ despite not being over 60 and is fine.

Clearly they had heard about the freak show in QLD. The reporters were also joking about it.

In SA. Miners in isolation. Tested negative Tuesday. (Which means Monday tests) Several turned positive and being retested.

 

[bcworld]

Alice Springs locked down for 3 days. Due to miner (but no new cases to report) who spent 7 hrs at ASP airport.

Popcorn required for SA press conference. Private medical flight whose passengers were known to have COVID was approved.

Was seeing this meme for AstraZeneca the other night but now not so sure!

I believe have to do 21 days HotelQ on return

This has been the case since at least early January, I have a friend who lives and works in Hong Kong who was in UK over Xmas, had to fly to Dubai spend 2 weeks there (not HQ basically a holiday) as at the time HKG wasn't taking fights from UK then do 21 days in HQ.

He was able to work from HQ, as his office was able to send equipment to him in HQ.

Wonder if they'll change it back to 14. SIN changed to 21 a few months ago but have just changed it back to 14, presumably on the basis of data about the variants and the data of those testing positive between days 14 and 21 over the period it sat at 21.

 

[Lynda2475]

They did.

Nope, both Gladys and Kerry politely side stepped making any direct comment about AP and JY when asked, and they talked about following health advice stressing that Pfizer remains the recommendation for under 60s. That if you want to do AZ that requires a lengthy discussion with a GP.

Seemed to use the bathroom a lot. I wonder if they had a pizza too...

You missed the point, but given your very strongly held opinions this is unsurprising and your opinion is your own and yours to hold by yourself of course Have a lovely day.

So miner did not test positive, but 4 out of 5 family close contacts have now test positive (in South Australia), so presumably miner is positive...tbc.

As yet there is no link between then and the current positives I believe.
Thet arrive on a Medevac flight paid for by themselves and approved by state and Feds

 

[Matt_01]

It will only take one case in SA and we will be locked down too. Hey, just announced the footy is still coming here on Saturday though!

Lets see what happens there is an article that 1 family in SA may be infected

South Australia records new cases: reports

I don't think it matters re link. Why on earth would this have been approved?
