Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[Flying mermaid]

From my observation, much of the distancing has gone out the window....

What are you seeing?

What are you seeing?

People just going back to their old ways. No distancing, no covering mouth when coughing, much like it used to be!

. I guess a level of weariness sets in

Nsw 5 case today - 3 from Crossroads Hotel (Casula), 2 travellers in quarantine. One staff at Casula has tested positive (but not part of today’s figure), and this has changed the isolation for all visitors to the hotel between 3/7 to 10/7 to isolate for 14 days from last visit to hotel regardless of positive or negative test.
Upstream source still not found apparently.
Qld - no new cases

Waiting for details of SA, ACT and regional Victoria to follow any signs of domestic travel spread from Melbourne/Mitchell.

edit: picked up wrong end date of period of risk at Casula.

Out of interest where approximately in Melbourne are you? I am in the SE. City of Monash.

Apart from my walking path I have not left home since 7 July when I did my last shop so I cannot really give any first hand reports. However the roads nearby are definitely quieter with respect vehicles including the arterial ones.

Others are reporting though that mask wearing is now notable, and that there are a lot less people out and about. The google data shows this too.

Morning walks around the eastern end of cbd Thursday/Friday, no need to wait for pedestrian lights, very little traffic. More than the first lockdown, but severely reduced.

A few masks but not heaps, but then again I was mainly walking around the gardens where there is lots of social distancing.

Masks are seen more frequently here in Adelaide too.

And our not so beloved Police Commissioner is advising we could go into lockdown here if it spreads to SA. Hmmm. And then the warning that we need to be on watch yada yada. Might be more palatable if they hadn't given over 24 hours of a closed border allowing plenty of time for Vics to travel here. It is this kind of policy that is completely out of the control of the people that makes me when we are then blamed (Andrews) or warned (Commissioner) that it is up to us to prevent spread.

The contact tracers do amazing work! They have found an 18 year old who works at the Crossroads Pub in Sydney has the virus. He worked at the Pub on the 3rd July when two infected people from Melbourne visited. So they are asking anyone who attended the pub between the 3rd and the 10th to go into isolation. It’s like putting a jigsaw together!

edit - mistake in ABC blog - original case unknown

Understand your dismay/anger, but weren’t any Victorians entering before the harder closure time required to isolate for 14 days? Or were they not even tracked so can’t even check on them?

NSW had an isolation rule from 2/7 for anyone who had been in Melbourne (I guess the previous 14 days), and then an isolation rule from 8/7 for anyone who had been in Victoria (again guess the past 14 days).

Corrrection: I believe none of the positives at Crossroads hotel had been to Melbourne. They were all local. Still concern that upstream source not found yet.

ABC is reporting that two people from Victoria who were infected visited the Pub on the 3rd and the 18 year old was working at that time.edit - apparently a mistake in the blog and original case still unknown

Edit - this is why I was overcome with admiration for the contact tracers - all the info that must be put together and across states as well!

NSW had an isolation rule from 2/7 for anyone who had been in Melbourne (I guess the previous 14 days), and then an isolation rule from 8/7 for anyone who had been in Victoria (again guess the past 14 days).

We had an open border in the sense that anyone could come to SA but their details were taken and they had to self isolate for 14 days. That was in place until Weds at midnight. Now only SA residents and emergency people can cross the border and self iso as well. The Govt announced a day before of the impending hard closure, which was just after Victoria announced the 6 weeks restrictions. SA is almost life back to normal and has been for some weeks so if a widespread infection erupts after this long from a last minute Victoria traveller it won't be received at all well.

And as reported yesterday, one idiot from a hot spot in Victoria entered SA on the last day, only booked one night then was on the move throughout a beach side suburb. He got caught or was dobbed in and is now in gaol for a month. The self iso thing is a joke and the ones most likely to be positive are the ones likely not to do it.

Do you mind PM me or adding the link? By my recollection, even as late as Friday Deputy CMO pressconference at 4pm Was concerned that upstream link not found yet And I’ve not seen any official government report confirming this.

edit:found your reference I think - ABC Covid live blog....still not sure it’s right?! im going to message him

I think there was a conference at 11am this morning.

I was watching on ABC before they switched to Vic....so they confirmed today they found the ‘cause’?

Well it might not be right, but it would be nice if it was. There are sometimes mistakes in the blog - guess it’s hard when you are putting out updates so quickly.

I wonder if they will lock down the suburb/LGA...
