Job opportunity!
Testing sewage in Australian suburbs would be a cheap and easy way for health authorities to pin down localised outbreaks of coronavirus, the national science agency says. https://www.9news.com.au/technology/...3-724ef18b5300

And NZ now has another import of Covid, turns out testing was optional at the border and in isolation, yet Govt have been banging on how important testing is for all of us, but they have'nt practiced what they preach. Had two women let out to basically roam the North Island out of isolation no test, plus two fourteen year olds let out of isolation no test to attend a Mongrol mob funeral

1 new case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.460% and active cases at 2. The UK had 1,218 new cases and 135 deaths so the CMR is down to 14.074%. Just under 26k new cases in the USA yesterday and 809 deaths sees CMR down to 5.368% and active cases down to 53.5% although the raw numbers are rising again.

i feel there needs to be more clarification on these types of announcements (not you Russ, just in general media). Without looking further in to it, it can appear that Victoria are struggling to get on top of the situation, but the reality is, a large portion of these cases are returning travellers from overseas. Some are already confirmed cases even. The fact is, the bulk of international travellers land at either sydney or melbourne and any cases among these people simply get assigned to the state they land in. There is no risk associated with them as they are straight in to quarantine. These details tend to get left out and the media just love to make it sound like there is still a regular occurance of daily new cases. While there are still some cases from community transmission it sounds a lot more dramatic if all the imports get included in the headlines.
All it does is prolong the decisions to open the internal borders back up.

I wonder how strictly they are enforcing the quarantines of these confirmed cases they are letting into the country? Or are they expecting them to self regulate? ![]() |

they are being isolated. there is no risk. they just get reported as a statistic and the media paint a false picture.

i found this pretty funny. i live in sa so i'm used to the insults but still thought it was funny. kind of funny seeing all the premiers around the country all throwing barbs at each other over the border issues. its like its now some competition rather than the good of the country as a whole.

Are you sure about that? I remember in the first month or so, people who where supposed to be in isolation after testing positive were roaming all around town.

Initially there was a requirement for self isolation, which was also enforced by random checks, but this was not sufficient. But hotel quarantine is not completely safe. There is a cluster in Melbourne caused by one of the workers at Rydges becoming infected.

Limited crowds of 1-2k back next month for the Raiders and Brumbies back to back games.
If no issues then they will go to the 25% of capacity cap. I won't be surprised if the first game for the Raiders without restrictions is a record crowd. Though that may not even be this season. |

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but as the news/politics has been so toxic around the world I've been spacing out off in the famous incidents of computer gaming. There's some funny stuff there. This event was legendary - the Corrupted Blood Plague of World of Warcraft:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFMv_hqinvc Programming oversight. Deadly pathogen. Unintentional breach of containment. Asymptomatic carriers. Isolation attempts, quarantine attempts. People running for the hills, or swimming to far off islands. Suspicion of others. Trolls spreading it. Cities desolated. Millions of deaths with skeletons piling up. Here's some raw footage of the plague: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAEhyHiNdrA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS8IKiSIfhw And this guy claims to have unleashed patient zero, after about 10 seconds of moral contemplation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxDvxKeLWlA

18 new cases for Australia (ALL Victoria and NSW) and no deaths so CMR drops to 1.377% but active cases rise to 429 (5.8%).

Went to the local Maccas for lunch. They have half the place closed to diners.
The other half is all marked where you can and can't sit. Signs all over the place about keeping 1.5m apart. Yeah thats fine but why close off half the restaurant? There were 4 tables in a row next to 3 more tables all closed off. Surly they could have opened up a few more seats? Is there a number limit at the moment per place or are they now doing it per sqm? My mum took my daughter to Maccas this afternoon. She said they would only allow 3 people to sit and eat in the entire store. They had everyone outside. Someone asked why only 3 - the Macacs worker said they are only allowed 20 and they have 17 staff working. Since when were staff considered in the amount of people allowed? This can't be right?? Oh... and another thing. They make you sign in via a QR code or whatever you call it. This information seems to get sent to a handheld tablet looking device that is accessible to all staff. I overheard two 15 year olds arguing over who was going to confront the guy that had obviously entered dodgy personal information about themselves when they signed in. There were 10 of those delivery bike riders sitting on the grass verge right outside Maccas - all rubbing against each other, leaning against each other, watching rubbish on their phones together. But I can't sit at a table by myself within the store... I can't wait for all this BS to be over.

One family spread a couple of cases among itself. I wonder what the actual rate is of infections in the community - there would be people with it who haven't been tested. Has anyone here been tested? I have and I copped absolute **** for it from work, this was when you needed to have symptoms to be tested. |

Bit of a joke cancelling the game because of one positive test.How many times did a player get named on Thurs night,then a late withdrawal because of a virus on the morning of the game.Flu,Covid what REALLY is the difference??

Forget closing the borders how about closing all the roads in and out of Melbourne so they aren't coming out into country Victoria.

Within Melbourne, locking down infected areas & testing heaps is how it has been overcome in other countries, eg China, Italy, South Korea. I bet you are happy you live outside the city now Franco...
