Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

I'd be amazed if her employment contract didn't mention improper conduct/bringing brand in to disrepute as grounds for dismissal. Everything she's done would fit nicely in to that.

Was typing the exact same thing. I don't see her keeping her job.

Sounds like Qld has ANOTHER HQ breach! Infectious in community since 22/7 and has been staying in a backpackers since then!

Queensland is the gold standard of HQ breaches. The 13th in the last six weeks. I wonder how they will keep on deflecting the problem. What is more certain that Queensland's luck will run out.

If one were cynical one would suspect a retiring QLD CHO doesn’t really care much anymore and the QLD government is just itching to stop ALL overseas arrivals anyway and get the Feds to build us a shiny new quarantine centre… so all these breaches seem remarkably coincidental

Almost like a plan to be able to put more blame on the Feds. "Told you so" kind of thing. There must be something fundamentally wrong in their set up. Maybe it's the tests?

Yes virus still spreading.

However so far in the leaked changes to the lockdown to be announced today, the changes are all easings that will allow more mixing.

Hopefully in the non leaked changes there are also some measures that will reduce the amount of mixing.

If not, then seemingly Gladys is just going on the path of hoping that vaccinations will eventually lower the adverse outcomes of people becoming infected.

You could also frame it as following the national cabinet strategy of suppression rather than elimination.

Another death

56 in ICU

https://twitter.com/x/status/1420187458629554178

Forty-seven cases were in isolation throughout their infectious period and 22 cases were in isolation for part of their infectious period. Forty-six cases were infectious in the community, and the isolation status of 62 cases remains under investigation.​

68 infectious in the community, though 62 are unknown re that status.

 

[bcworld]

Only 47/177 in isolation!

 

[moa999]

NSW 177.
46 infectious in community (slightly positive to previous day)
But 22 partials, and 62 unknown.

Another 4 weeks of lockdown for Sydney, Wollongong and Central Coast.

Shopping restriction now same as exercise. Own LGA or 10km.
Parramatta, George's River and Campbeltown added to the more restrictive LGAs.

Non occupied construction allowed outside the 8 LGAs, with safety plans, as well as 'contactless' tradies (boo)

Yr12 schooling commences in 2 wks.
Within the 8 LGAs Pfizer to be offered to those Yr12 students.

You could shop for essentials more than 10km away… okay… hopefully people were not taking the piss

Supplies pinched from regional NSW.

Geeze, I had just assumed that would already have been in. So people could drive any distance then......

I (plus thousands of people) am going to try to work out the definition of "non-occupied construction" ..... and "contactless tradies". Big implication there and I do feel that the definition will be stretched.

(Two golds in the rowing).

Any further measures to minimise mixing?

Everyone told to stay at home and watch the Olympics.

From the ABC​

​

Victoria records another new unlinked local case​

In the past hour, Victoria Health has been advised of another case.​

​

Mr Foley said they weren't a confirmed close contact and developed symptoms on Monday night.​

They were tested on Tuesday.​

​

The person works at the Mooney Valley Racecourse drive-through testing centre as a traffic controller and worked at least two days while infectious.​

​

But Mr Foley said there was "minimal risk" to the centre, but it has been closed and everyone who worked on the same shifts as that cases has been sent home.​

​

He said this was very early information at this stage.​

​

​

So will only be being interviewed right now.

By Dannielle Maguire​

​

VIC: Three days to investigate today's new case​

Professor Sutton said the man was tested very quickly after being symptomatic. ​

That means there's one day of having symptoms and then it's assumed he was infectious for the two days before that. ​

He said that means there's only a three-day window in which the traffic controller was out in the community. ​

But we'll hear more about that when exposure sites drop later today. ​

​

​

So the big question is who he got it off. And if there has been a growing unknown transmission chain.

…And she would have to have significant security clearances to work in aviation surely…

…And she would have to have significant security clearances to work in aviation surely…

Yeah just thinking about that, surprised she got an ASIC if they did a proper background check.

..QF employee of the month…hope QF do a deep dive here to ensure strict safety/security protocols in place with such checks…
I too have wondered about civil class actions given genomic tracing is evidence and the police have confirmed what took place. Any bored lockdown lawyers on this thread who can talk to potential remedies against ‘Con-nie’ and ‘Lied’….

I fly Qantas Link quite a bit and the name and face are familiar from some years back. If I'm remembering the correct person, she's an excellent FA with a nice word for everyone.
Not excusing current situation but sometimes people's personal lives gets messy.

Is there something you have read to indicate that she shouldn't have been eligible in the first place, or for a renewal?
