I'm wondering, with the acceptance of RAT, assuming you have access to some, what would cause people to get a PCR now?

Sounds like some restrictions coming back for Victoria. Hospitality density, WFH and some other restrictions about to be announced

You pay more for the “very high sensitivity” RATS.

RAT Test sensitivity can be found Here

Basically the higher the sensitivity, the lower the false positive rate

Trying to source OnSite CTK Biotech Inc or Panboi Abbott Rapid Diagnostics Pty Ltd tests from this list. As they are not Chinese made at least. Happy to pay a bit more for that

All Tas hospital cases were admitted for non-covid reasons.

 

[HappyFlyerFamily]

NSW Health detailed report makes mention amongst other things that a man in his 20s fully vaxxed and with no co-morbidities from ACT died at St Vincent's

 

[HappyFlyerFamily]

All Tas hospital cases were admitted for non-covid reasons.

Yes, that was true for yesterday - I think today 1 of the 5 is being treated for covid

 

[RooFlyer]

Yes, that was true for yesterday - I think today 1 of the 5 is being treated for covid

Yes, sorry - I failed to notice the date on the data screen.

 

[drron]

Yesterday's update to all THS staff said that 1 was admitted for covid. This was the public release.Note that now over 92% of >12s fully vaccinated.

 

[jakeseven7]

Im sitting in QF Business lounge at SYD right now and board is chockers, cant see any cancellations listed. When i was here last week there were a few.

The cancellations seem to be mainly VA2 and Jetstar.

 

[OZDUCK]

The NT has instituted a "Lockout" due to the rise in cases. However, it only applies to those who are not fully vaccinated.

NT enters snap lockout, as COVID-19 cases more than double overnight

Unvaccinated people in the NT will be subject to tough new lockout rules after the Territory recorded its highest number of COVID-19 cases to date.

256 is a high number for NT. NT previously used lockouts (which allow freedoms only to fully vaxxed) in localised areas. Now Territory wide.

23 hospital patients (including 2 ICU) with/for covid in a public hospital system with apparently under 1000 beds and 20 ICU beds.

 

[Carrots]

The cancellations seem to be mainly VA2 and Jetstar.

You'd have to think the general demographic of their staff (vs QF mainline) would be part of the reason.

An AFF insider (in another thread) said that QF have a much larger more flexible workforce to draw from which has helped them minimise disruptions.

Restrictions coming back in NSW as well.

Hope they don’t increase from this.

Nightclubs to close, surgery restricted as ‘safety measures’ return to NSW​

The NSW government is preparing to announce a major reversal of COVID-19 restrictions by shutting nightclubs, banning singing and dancing in pubs, and pausing major events and some elective surgery in response to the state’s surging Omicron caseload.

The changes were expected to be finalised on Friday after NSW recorded 70,000 coronavirus cases in two days and a significant increase in the number of hospitalised patients, government sources not authorised to speak publicly said on Thursday night.

In my area - Darlinghurst and Kings Cross - there’s hardly any nightclubs left anyway. Years of restrictions and overzealous policing have killed most of them before covid.

ARQ sydney which was being used as file footage on Sunrise this morning has been on the market for redevelopment as apartments for the last few months.
