"The point of that is that even if they put nursing and healthcare staff on quarantine hotels staffing rosters, COVID might have got out anyway. Something other governments are starting to realise by calling and restricting the number of inbound OS pax."
That is incorrect also.
The inbound numbers are being limited because quarantine facilities are reaching capacity.

The number of international arrivals currently in Vic quarantine is not particularly high at all as at today. In fact, not even all hotels that have been used for quarantine are currently in use today.
Inbound international flights have been turned away to other Aus destinations so that Vic can improve it's quarantine practices and procedures. While the practices are being changed wouldn't be a great time to receive hundreds of people per day.

Each Vic quarantine hotel has a team of full time nursing staff stationed at it (around the clock). There are also full time Department of Health and Human Services staff on site at each hotel (around the clock).
I personally know of one nurse and several health staff that have become infected through hotel quarantine arrangements.

Total the number of pax and the resulted deaths on the cruise ships & you will find they have lower numbers than general city out breaks in many countries, given the average age - even more surprising.

Diamand & Ruby Princess are outstanding exceptions in case numbers.

One of which said this today -
"We want to make sure that we keep people safe in our hotels, but if we are inundated with a lot of returnees to Western Australia we will struggle to provide the level of care that we expect."
FWIW the VIC capacity for providing quarantine has shown itself to be very limited indeed.
Unfortunately.

There are still many repatriation flights being organised, simple fact.
Yes the government decides where they must go, ultimately quarantine decision.
I fear while plane loads are still inbound the flare ups will continue.

The BLM protestors were told not to attend the protest but did they listen,each & every 1 of them decided to attend against every piece of advice given & even if it had been made illegal,do u think they would have all stayed home?
I agree the hotel security could definitely have been handled better but 1 person(as in andrews) cant be in every part of the state every minute of the day,the actual guards are the ones who have most to answer for & the companies they work for.
Its very easy to criticise but remember its not the premier or anyone else in his government thats out there & not adhering to the rules,its members of the community continuing to ignore what theyre being asked to do.
And before you ask,NO I DIDNT VOTE FOR HIM.

if Josh goes ahead with Aviation keeper, where will it stop. Tourism keeper? Hospitality keeper? Taxi driver keeper it will never end. Aviation has been hit hard but not only aviation as been affected. The umbilical chord needs to be cut at some point and September 27th should still be it, and yes jobs will go, even possibly mine.
