So...will see how the announcement goes today, just to clarify, its OK to drive through a red zone/hot spot but if you get out and mingle then that's a no no.
Also, anyone know if Coffs is part of the "zone" in NSW? Ive looked at the NSW website and ill be stuffed if I can find a map that makes it simple with an outline of the zones. Seems its just Ballana and Byron? BTW thats defined by NSW, not worried about what the other states think.

What a difference 12 months makes. 12 months ago there were calls for the Feds to take over from the states in handling Covid. Now there are calls for the states to take over from the feds in the distribution of the vaccines........
Even "Honest" Gladys is agreeing with Plucka Chook.............

Re Bluesfest; am I the only one to find irony in the cancellation of an event whose name reflects a musical tradition of faith, betrayal, toil and melancholia?
Well I woke up this morning, Found my festival done gone |

LOL too too funny. A very compassionate and proportionate response indeed. You can travel anywhere, but we'll shut down a festival costing $100m hit to the economy based on 1 case. I did notice an attempt to pin the Bluefest decision on the organisers here, where in fact it was government authorities that pulled the plug. Flame suit on. ![]() |

Palachook's really lost the plot this time. Basically a couple of cases in Brisbane and the entire state has to wear a mask. It's just ridiculous. I might have to pull out my Ned Kelly mask ![]() ![]() |

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT March 31st, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 11 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.102%. 2 new case and 0 deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.041% and active cases 72. The UK had a higher 4,052 cases yesterday and 43 deaths. That's the 5th consecutive day under 5k cases. Just under 63k new cases in the USA yesterday and 874 deaths sees CMR at 1.814%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Asia sets a new daily case high of 182,032 cases; Switzerland passes 600k cases and Sweden 800k; Cabo Verde (191) - the previous high on 11/10/20; Maldives (241); Cuba (1,051); North Macedonia (1,511); Bosnia (1,972); Uruguay (3,088); Bangladesh (5,358); Iraq (6,664); and Turkey (39,302) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. Croatia and Tunisia move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average while no countries drop below.

I was thinking more of the rural areas. I can understand having to wear them in, say, Cairns as it's a busy port for New Guinea and it's rife up there. |

QLD Health - contract tracing - what a disgrace!
My daughter works part-time in a shop that today QH placed on their "get tested immediately and quarantine until you're negative" website The C19 contact occurred on 16th March, 2 full weeks ago. And no one from QH has contacted the shop owner. One of the staff checked the QH website and noted their shop was listed, she then put the information up on their group chat. My daughter got tested because of the medical degree she is undertaking - negative result. |

Another ✅ for the Pfizer vaccine.
Looks like 'Scotty doesn't know' picked the wrong vaccine for Australia. Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine found to be highly effective for adolescents Quote:

France ordered into third national lockdown as new COVID-19 infections double in a month
France is withdrawing into its third national lockdown as the death toll from the country's coronavirus pandemic nears 100,000. With intensive care units in the hardest-hit regions at breaking point and a slower than planned vaccine rollout, President Emmanuel Macron has been forced to abandon his goal of keeping the country open to protect the economy. "We will lose control if we do not move now," he said. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-...n=abc_news_web Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Leaders of Covid-hit German states call for national lockdown
Regional leaders of two German states badly hit by a third wave of coronavirus have urged the rest of the country to reimpose a tough lockdown to flatten infection rates, as a leading virologist said Germany was in a “serious and complicated” stage of the pandemic. In a joint letter reported on by Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, Bavaria’s conservative premier, Markus Söder, and the Green head of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann, said the situation was “more serious than many believe”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ab-to-over-60s |

Fears of fourth coronavirus wave grow as Spain enters high-risk situation
Fears of a fourth wave are looming in Spain as the country once again entered a high-risk situation as defined by the coronavirus alert system. Under this traffic light system, an area is at high risk when the 14-day incidence rate exceeds 150, the seven-day incidence rate is more than 75, and the occupancy rate in intensive care units (ICUs) is between 15% and 20%. The system also takes into account the positivity rate, i.e. the percentage of tests that come back positive out of the total; the traceability rate – how many contacts are detected per 100 cases; and the occupancy rate of normal hospital beds. https://english.elpais.com/society/2...situation.html |
