Why don’t those who are talking it down, actually go and get infected if they’re so confident, then tell us how you go afterwards.
Perhaps this is natural selection at play, off you all go |
And in breaking news..

The difference between a pro-vaccine person and a anti-vaccine person.
Pro-vaccine person believes a drug can counteract the bad bacteria that has caused the infection. This has been going on for the last 200 years. Anti-vaccine person believes good bacteria that counteracts the bad bacteria prevents infection in the first place. This has been going on for the last 5000 years. That's the dilemma in a nutshell not an argument. As time has evolved the chemical/physical/emotional stress has built slowly, century after century. Don't forget the gut has trillions of bad bacteria at any one time and your gut is 80% of your immune system. The way you counteract that bacteria is your business and no one else's. You DO know that we are talking about a virus here, don’t you? And that a bacteria is not a virus? |

Damn, didn't realise we had so many medical professionals posting here. Makes you wonder why anyone would bother to go to university and study science when we have geniuses here who can say with authority they know more than the "so called experts".
And people wonder why the virus is tearing through a lot of other nations....... |

The Premiers have said they will not close the borders unless a significant outbreak is created, however I don’t think they will hesitate one bit if they can sniff a hotel or airport leakage problem about to surface. She normally gives Sydney a 48hr threat so you might be able to just get home in time. |
How is it possible his late in the game, that international travelers are able to skip hotel quarantine. Australia needs to grow a set and start criminally charging these ppl.
This is the ticking time bomb that needs to be addressed by not allowing international arrivals to capital city’s anymore risk is to high to us. |

Problem identified at MEL airport the last piece of swiss cheese blocked. All pax and flight crew texted. Wow. What about those on the train or bus? |
Looks like the security/quarantine theater show is on again. What on earth are these government officials doing to allow two foreign nationals to literally walk straight into Australia? What is the point of all the restrictions, the economic damage etc when you can just walk straight in? Lets not forget all the other stuff ups that seem to be at the hand of the government officials this year too. This year has seen the vast majority of the population do the right thing only to have the government at one level or another screw it up.

NSW has done very well through out this, but, this latest is almost unforgivable. Yes there will be outbreaks and cases but this should never have happens. NSW police let these two escape, as news is coming in its apparent it could of been lining up in the line for the bus when the two told police they had exemption to on travel, luckily to the diligent airport staff in ML this was picked up and reported.
This whole not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings give them a pat on the back tell them to try harder next time etc is rubbish. This virus has killed caused economic damage and heartache. Ppl need to be held accountable over this or stop the international arrivals. |

Where I am currently sitting in my man cave, there are three people who had COVID within 50m of me. Diagonally-opposite neighbour to the NW was a fit ex-navy type in his 50s. One of the initial batch of infectees in the state. Still several kg too light, still not near pre-COVID fitness. Couple in house to the SW, husband is mid 40s in aviation, was a keen cyclist, fitness now shattered. Wife early 40s, also was in good shape, and is only now shaking off recurrent waves of anxiety and again fitness is way off. So don't spout uninformed bull**** about COVID-19 being inconsequential. It is at minimum equivalent to glandular fever for many, with an R value exceeding 1.0 by a big margin, so every ******** will get if it runs free. Just because some government reactions are over the top fanatical, and causing equivalent damage as the virus, does not make it right to spout rubbish about COVID-19 being nothing to write home about. And to anyone posting malarkey about COVID not killing too many more people than the flu etc, please show a little bit of common sense and consider what might happen if we were not actively shutting the virus spread down by throwing everything else under bus. FFS. |

They (the 2 German tourists I think ) not only escaped quarantine, they escaped officials at SYD International then had to either train it, or bus it, to the
domestic side to catch the Virgin flight. Problem identified at MEL airport the last piece of swiss cheese blocked. Sydney Airport International terminal, city train or city bus to Domestic terminal, Melbourne airport terminal. All staff and passengers using those transport hubs then move all over those cities, potentially spreading it in every direction. Solution? Fly them direct to Curtin, Christmas Island, Alice Springs, Woomera, etc. Problem solved. |

Stats show COVID-19 is inconsequential to the vast, vast, majority of those infected. Your anecdotal evidence is weak. BTW I do not oppose the vaccine rollout; quite the opposite. No need to be sprouting uninformed anecdotal bull**** though. |
Australians can’t get flights home. How do German tourists get in?
|
Amazing to have so many people so close when only one in just under a million Australians have been infected. |

The Car Rental clerk in Melbourne was the person that apparently raised the concern and called the authorities. They purchased the Virgin tickets while on the train between terminals. They most certainly had this planned and we need to drop the book hard on these two big time. |
ABC and The West Australian are both reporting them as German nationals. I ask again.. how did they get here in the first place?
