More on the 3 new cases reported today as part of the 9 (ie 6 were known yesterday, but officially reported today)..

And lol "mystery" case term used. Which just demonstrates how it is used by different people in different ways.
 
I'm not sure I understand the comments coming out of Victoria regarding the ease of transmission? They are saying people passing in the street are able to transmit the virus - fleeting contact - yet we have only had three cases today? Or are they expecting a large increase in cases in coming days? But that is also confusing as they said the incubation period is as little as 24 hours.

The first thing that came to my mind when they started that line in today's press conference was pizza box.
 
The Age and Herald Sun just reporting meetings held this evening in regards on where to go next. Potential announcement tomorrow arvo.

I’m a tad nervous about this one. More than happy to sit out 3 more days. However the consequences are quite dire for many people should this roll on past Monday.

What exactly are the plans should a state be locked down for a month? It’s not impossible as we have seen here. It’s going to be a sad outcome for many.

Longer lockdown likely as alert raised over positive case who visited NSW

Victoria’s public health team is leaning strongly towards a lockdown extension as alert is raised over Melburnian who visited locations in NSW last week.

You just know Victoria is going to extend lockdown unfortunately. The media are starting to leak out information to condition folk that another week or two is on the cards

Sadly the same tactic is being used in SA. But they just gave an exemption for the AFL match Collingwood V Crows. 🤷‍♀️

I did not type exemption to leave Australia! I don’t know what is happening here?
 
If a case happens here in Canberra, it will be rife, from observations, most don’t sanitise, nor sign into shops or supermarkets in particular, one coffee place we go to is strict, very good cleaning of chairs and tables, you must wait, others cafes not so much.
I honestly believe we get what we deserve, no point in blaming any government of any persausion, individuals have to do the right thing, but most seem to be so blasé about the whole situation.

It will auto correct when you type exemption. (I just typed the word "exemption"). Fancy schmancy.

Many AFL supporters would argue that Collingwood should be granted an exemption to leave Australia ... to never come back. ;) :p

All a bit funny. Maybe AFF is channeling the anti Collingwood sentiment.

More dripping out of the Herald Sun.

Victoria’s fourth lockdown will be extended, with tough restrictions to remain in place until at least early next week.
The shutdown extension will be announced on Wednesday, with remote learning and prohibitions on leaving home except for five reasons to continue.
 
Seems that there may have been some recent SEO upgrades that link certain words to existing AFF articles - Mod team looking into. Agree that would be a bit disconcerting for an auto correct function to guess words other than what you want to type.

Wishful thinking ;)


PS I have had the same thing happen and have had to edit and rewrite with different text to avoid this "auto" correction.
