Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

NSW health minister suggesting NSW has another day of no local transmission.

Now you can move. My daughter moved into a new rental.

It is more that people have lost their jobs.

Many have moved back in with relatives.

Others have moved to rural Vic...in part as rent is cheaper there. Also some work from home if possible allows it to be from rural locations.

How does the 5 km restriction work for inspections? Gatherings from non family members? Social Distancing. Etc

No deaths is most welcome news.

Living arrangements are not social gatherings.


Accommodation is an essential of life. So one is allowed to do it. Real estate inspections have had different rules at different times.

Also the graph covers the whole pandemic.

Well, given that in SA where rules are relaxed Covid has had quite an effect on the property market when really it shouldn't, I'd expect Victoria to be very heavily impacted because no one, including students country and overseas, are moving in. Whether that is a long term trend remains to be seen.

Apparently it is one masked agent +one masked buyer/renter for a property inspection.
There are reports of Victorians moving to Perth,Darwin and Sydney and doing their 2 week quarantine rather than being trapped in Melbourne for an unknown time before life returns to some semblance of normality.

Thanks. Knowing the numbers that attended (or were left hanging by a non attendant PM) that would be very problematic in actually getting a booking. So how are people from Vic getting access to WA?

Yes, but those numbers are tiny.

It is more driven by:

• People wanting, or needing to, reduce expenses and rent is a huge expense for many. (Moving back home with say parents, or moving to cheaper areas)
• Work from home allowing people to not be bound by commuting requirements
• The above two have also led to some drift to regional locations in Vic

The loss of the international student market would most likely be causing more vacancies in the apartment than people having moved interstate.

Also various overseas workers in Australia have not had Visas extended and have left.

I think you can get an exemption if you are going to move to WA-just need to pony up for the quarantine.

PS-At the beginning of September over 62000 have been granted permission to enter the NT during the pandemic.Last month there were 700 in quarantine and basically it consists of those from VIC and NSW.

Loophole to travel freely across Australia

Fed up with living under one of the toughest coronavirus curfews in the world, Victorians are among an army of 62,000 people who have fled to COVID-free Darwin since the borders reopened in July.

And today the NT Government is allowing those from Regional Victoria in without quarantine.

NT to ease Victorian border restrictions

People living in regional Victoria could be able to travel to the Northern Territory without undergoing mandatory quarantine from next month.

NSW 1 case in hotel quarantine. Very low testing numbers though (under 5k).

 

[HappyFlyerFamily]

Confirming NSW news

For the tenth consecutive day, NSW has reported no recent cases of locally transmitted #COVID19. One case in a returned overseas traveller in hotel quarantine was diagnosed in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, bringing the total number of cases in NSW to 4,046.

Qld no new cases, 6 active remaining

 

[HappyFlyerFamily]

If numbers continue as expected today, Australia should be under 300 active cases remaining.

How are the hospital and ICU rates going?

How are the hospital and ICU rates going?

I haven’t followed that as closely but I think around the 50 mark

Vic 30s, around 5 ICU + ventilator
NSW 10, less than 5 ICU
Qld have some in hospital around 5 I think

So about 10-15%

Apparently today’s regional Vic new case in Shepparton has a good chance of being a false positive

Today 6 new are under investigation

I confused about the mystery case. Apparently 1 mystery case associated with 3046, but based on yesterday’s figures if there was 1 new mystery, then the 14 day measure would go up. Would appreciate clarification on this point.

 

[lovetravellingoz]

For Vic, hospital stats are trending lower.

However in terms of a predictor of future possible deaths in Vic the more important indicator is probably that the number of active cases in Aged Care continues to rapidly decline and is now at 77, which is well less than the peak number of active cases of 2075. Based on the current trend in about a week it should be very low.

NSW mystery case watch

- 1 in the past 7 days
- 1 in the period 8-14 days
- 1 in the past 4 weeks (so -1 for the period 15-28 days)
- 31 older than 28 days but since Crossroads emerged.

i guess that’s how they treat the two month old case.
