Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

Are these places all in Queensland?

Yes, it’s the Queensland list arising from the activities of the youth detention workers.

Jam Pantry at Greenslopes get another ‘strike’ - visited by a youth detention worker and the carer-relative from Japan....different days though.

Let me get this straight. In the midst of Joe Victoria doing the most incredibly stressful iso work, that episodes of the Masked Singer have been produced at a studio in Docklands? WT? And now seven performers have tested positive and its all been shut down. Seriously? I cannot believe this has been allowed to happen.

...and yet you support football and similar with hundreds of people being involved where many so many have repeatedly shown total disregard for the rules outlined to them?

A place of employment for a small number of people that can't be done remotely, with rules laid down by the health department, providing entertainment for the masses and income for those who would otherwise have none.

Probably less risky than building/construction sites, food factories, meat works, kindergartens, schools, warehouses, public transport, etc etc .

BTW: I've never watched it and probably won't ever. But that's not the point, many do and it entertains them while in lockdown.

What really worries me though is that 6 residents of the Wacol centre tested positive but several others were released during the time they may have beeen infective.Can they track down where they are and if any positive may be a verey long list of places to check.

However the previous season was produced in Sydney where things would have been safer than Melbourne.Why was it changed?

I understood it was 5 staff/workers, not residents, and their close (Eg household) contacts forming a cluster of 9 so far. They have already done all but 20 (111/131 tested negative) residents and have tracked down about half of those released from that centre in the interim period.

I enjoy the Masked singer. I’ve pretty much been stuck at home since March and there aren’t many things to brighten up the day right now. They’ve been under strict Covid rules like many other allowed businesses and sounds like they’ve done the right thing shutting down immediately.

No. I dont support the football crowds. Quite the opposite. The players are tested twice a week though so as long as they behave in their hubs they can play together. Are the people on the Masked Singer ever tested? Were they required to be tested.

The crowds at AFL is one of the inconsistencies that the SA Govt is doing and I have posted this several times in this thread. And on the Premiers FB page.

But the obvious thing is that no football is played in a State in Stage 4 lockdown.

Graphs of 7 day average new cases and growth as of today in Vic.

The next week will be most revealing to see if the average numbers can keep dropping steadily. Hopefully it will not plateau.

Whatever your personally think about the show it has been a huge ratings winner, light entertainment, funny at a pretty dark time, particularly for Melburnians, so let’s hope the people affected recover quickly and shooting recommences quickly and safely.

Nice to know. However, ratings have never influenced my viewing habits.

 

[DC3]

Have you been here? If you have and have symptoms please get tested

Gee. S/he gets around.

Just joking. There’s probably two of them.

Only two new cases detected in Brisbane:

Two new coronavirus cases recorded in Queensland

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the two new coronavirus cases are linked to the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre cluster and are a "good result", a day after new state restrictions came into force.

Wowww......What a disappointing thing to say about hundreds of thousands of Australians.

While this show may not be to your personal taste it provides some entertainment and comedic relief to a lot of other people in some pretty dark times for many, particularly in Victoria.

Oh, I'm sorry. Is that its rating? I hadn't heard of it until this thread. Hence the comment was put as a query, not a statement.

Are the people on the Masked Singer ever tested? Were they required to be tested.

That would be a preemptive requirement not imposed on any other industry as far as I am aware (could be wrong), other than some specific examples in healthcare. (the footballers example is an AFL requirement - not a preemptive gov mandated requirement)

There has been no mention of pre-emptive testing to create a work bubble. If there was you would have thought that would have been mentioned by now. Vic CHO was pretty clear today that TV production is an allowable work.

I saw a credible reference reference that all available TV/movie/production sets in Sydney are booked out and have been for some time.
