All borders to reopen.
There were 9 local cases that day, 22 the next. Today there were 26. Hardly the definition of “very high”, yet here we are.
My point being his language changes when it needs to, often on the day. The announcement of the “very high caseload environment” today was a surprise to me, I thought this step was going to come in a few weeks when cases hit the hundreds and then a reopening weeks later. So they’ve jumped ahead of the timeframe I was thinking they were going to do.
They CHO is doing a review of opening options by 4 weeks from their original delay, which is next week. One could surmise they’re implementing that reopening plan now, and should be opening by March.
Well now Australia is joining the world Feb 21st, WA may as well open up.
If he does decide to open in March (optimistic) WA will have to do a full opening 0-100 because the eastern states have opened international borders it would be pointless for WA to just open domestically with restrictions and closed internationally. MM has messed this up and missed his chance to open “safely” as he calls it.

The so called deaths out of control in QLD is because a ****load of boomers decided not to get vaccinated or decided to resist the booster, I mean you can’t make this **** up these idiots are dying because of their own choices, they deserve to die if they haven’t taken all the precautions so far. WA is now ****ting over QLD on vaccination rates, that’s the reason right there. What else can I say? You deny, you die, it’s pretty bloody simple if your an old bastard.
Lost in all this narrative is; what developments are there in actual treatment of the condition.
Regardless of vax no vax…..
An individual gets Covid, is told to isolate at home. No support or treatment advice is actually given apart from, “call an ambulance” if things go south.
Throughout this entire event. The medical profession has been hobbled by politics and bull****. At what point have doctors been left to treat patients without the fear of breaking some health directive or eco-political agend?
The overall medical outcome In this country is terrible. So many questions……

So, Mc Gowan is now issuing the daily Covid cases figures split into 3 categorys. Local cases, Interstate traveler cases and International arrival cases.
He is also listing the death figures from other states in his press briefings.
The highest case figures today are Interstate travelers.
Wonder if he is going to use these figures to further restrict inbound travel. Or something else on his agenda.

Give one example where this is not the case.
Just a thought.......
A 'Particular Problem' in WA at the mo., is that the hospitals are ALL 'understaffed', nurses and docs are run 'off their combined feet', ambulance ramping is 'rampart'.
Due to staff shortages due the Virus and 'isolations'......
So, naturally, the WA Gummint HAS TO cancel 'non urgent' surgery, and 'other treatments' so as to leave 'some beds' available for the inevitable......following the
introduction of people - yes fellow humans - back into WA ('cause they actually live here' / 'used to live here'...) BUT.....they MIGHT bring in the 'dreaded lurgy'.
So, 'we' politicians just 'close the gate'.......ZIMPLES!!! To protect our 'authority AND our jobs' of course.....WHO SAID THAT???
No names......But without an 'effective' opposition....(in WA).....WOT CAN ONE DO??
Even some business leaders are re-locating to the 'East' 'cause they reckon they cannot do business here to an adequate satisfaction.....so they say.
So, the PM opens the gates to INTL arrivals by air, and then what? Does the WA Premier say 'NYET'..??
Interesting times ahead methinks.
Cheers .....

For the majority of the fully vaccinated, life is almost back to normal. Fortunately the prevelant C19 strain now seems to be more an inconvenience than a debilitating illness.
My wife and I left Tasmania last week and are now in Philippines. No issues as got a PCR covid test at Melb airport and got result in 40min. No testing or quarantining in Philippines since 1st Feb. Everyone is just getting on with things here. We do need to show our International vax printout to get into many shopping malls and banks and wear a mask indoors. There is not the atmosphere of fear that Oz pollys and media keep whipping up.
The real damage is that every other ailment and condition does not enter a lockdown just because of the pandemic.
There is no need for me to give you one case. If you have no one in your circle affected, then I would say you are very lucky.
****load of boomers decided not to get vaccinated
As to the un-vaxxed that I know, all are 40 something who think that either COVID is a conspiracy, the vaxs are experimental, because the Govt is pushing the vaxs or their health (vegan) life style will beat it.

I am referring to the cancellation of elective (cat 3,2) surgery;
The only cancellation I know of is the closing of the fracture clinic in a large regional hospital.
Again, I don't know of any who have had elective surgery cancelled.

This has been reported. Contact any major hospital and ask about elective surgery. It is fact.

That which can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
Have a great day.
McGowan and Sanderson (Health Minister) have used the high number of interstate traveller cases to defend their decision to continue the quarantine requirements for travellers. According to the Health Minister: “Had we not made the decision to update our safe transition plan these people would be in our community and our locally acquired cases numbers would likely be growing rapidly.” As things stand, the number of local cases has remained relatively stable. That said, the true number of local cases might be masked by the relatively low testing rate.
Atagi has updated their advice on vaccine with C-19, DA of Victoria has conceded defeat with his 3 vax rule. My question what will MM of WA enforce on international travelers? As an Australian I’m required to have shots to enter WA and fulfill my employment obligations. What will the international tourist be subject to?
