All borders to reopen.

Looks like Dr Dre science.

The study size was 78 patients, of which 9 had been hospitalised. The average age in the study group was 47 years of age. 37 of the 78 had no comorbidities, and at the time of presentation 3 of the 78 were classed as obese.
There were a range of measurements taken to assess the impact across various organ systems, with a substantial proportion of people experiencing ongoing problems across a range of organs, including some with cognitive impairment or ongoing loss of smell, indicating some sort of nerve damage. The authors acknowledged that their study is limited in its ability to generalise across a broader population, as their sample was largely drawn from a highly educated, wealthier predominantly white population with lower rates of chronic co-morbidity - ie the results found in the study are actually likely to be better than those found in a poorer, sicker group with worse healthcare or the general population.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a more recent or different paper, as the journalist keeps referring to an 8 month timeframe, that would be appreciated.

So, in essence Queen P has successfully obliterated plans over easter for many Queenslanders going interstate. Some may have taken a chance and not cancelled their bookings. For those that did, any efforts to rebook are now met with huge increases in costs.
It is ok though. QLD is "good to go" over Easter......... as long as you do not leave QLD!
Effectively shuttered Queenslanders in to holidaying in QLD all the while keeping the tourists from down south heading to all but the "hotspots"......
Perhaps she is smarter than the average bear.

Anyone who ever thought it was the QLD Queen who closed the borders hasn't been spun the spin adequately....so far.
Just watched Jeanette Young on the news and you couldn’t make this sh1t up.
Apparently the rest of the state are wearing masks because ‘people in Brisbane are now free to travel across the state’. So there’s enough of a risk that people 1600km away need to wear a mask, but not enough to keep potential spreaders in one place. There is no pretence at logic or policy anymore.

but they know voters will remember being locked up for Easter 2021 at the next election.
so no lockdown extension.
happy when the others were being locked down, not so much themselves.

As it is, they've lost all bar a couple of the Queensland contingent elected to stay in WA, the others flew home and will take their chances about getting back in. Our families are worth more than a few $$ and given how most of the FIFO crew have been screwed over, both by WA and their respective payroll departments with various living allowances there's no love lost there anymore so it'll be interesting to see how many shifts aren't able to be covered in the next month or two, particularly if McGoose does include NSW in his latest tantrum.

IMHO one's been a pretty good leader - not perfect but no-one ever is - regards CV19, the other couldn't find the word in the dictionary.
Let you work out which is which.

I have never really had an opinion either way about Gladys but it does seem she has the most practical approach of all the state leaders. I did like her comment about NSW residents not having to worry about being locked out of their home state. Gave them confidence to travel.
