So wash your bloody hands, wear a mask and don't sneeze over people in the food court at the local shops. Take some responsibility for your own wellbeing instead of expecting Australia to bend over and take it up the asre "to keep you safe".

Snap 5 day lockdown archives what?? Incubation period is at least 14 days. WA and QLD were just lucky further cases didn’t emerge definitely not a result of “snap” lock downs and “slamming” the borders shut.

All of you complain that states that lockdown when outbreaks occur say they should follow NSW's approach and just use contact tracing (even though they did a partial lockdown) because otherwise it destroys the economy. Now in Victoria you're all piling on DA for....... using contact tracing and keeping the economy going during a major income event (the AO) It seems people just decide who to like/hate based on what political party the person involved belongs to and then they look for evidence solely to back up that position. |
Mystery modes of transmission with hyper mutant ninja infective ability, the naughty guest used a nebuliser, so it couldn't have been a breakdown
of basic infection control , breach of discipline or any fault of the Govt Was the CHO of Victoria biting his tongue or trying very hard not to laugh when he was agreeing that the nebuliser was a "plausible theory indeed" Uber driver accidently delivered a nebuliser to the other hotel Grand Hyatt instead of a pizza , where other transmission to staff occurred Victoria leads the world with hotel quarantine procedures , Dan tells us all the other states learn from us & come asking humbly for advice The fact that Vict had a little issue to deal with in 2020(circa 900 dead people) and didn't accept international arrivals from July until December in no way diminishes the superiority of Dan & the gang with hotel quarantine He also took the great leap forward to invent the "traffic light" system to judge the plebs outside Victoria No doubt there will be excitable buzzword baby talk in todays press conference , we might see just a little bit of self-congratulations and "shout outs" to the incredible team Before you can say "Dans your Uncle" yes another lockdown , transmission from two Hotels in less than two months after second chance You show em Dan , you tell em |
Melbourne about to announce 5 day lockdown just like Perth a few weeks ago. Not confirmed cabinet is meeting.

CHO ..... Chief Humour Officer ..... rather sad situation actually.

The guy was just wincing as he was saying it , somehow I don't guys like the former Fed CMO would have played along
More months of stand downs on the way for flight & cabin crew |

It’s a good idea, but the downside is that it is preceded by panic buying and people fleeing the lockdown area, which is not good for containment.
But they won't, will they? |

I doubt there's a legal pathway for the Feds to assume responsibility, but I'd be interested to know if the GG can have an impact here. |
The scary number, whose name I forget, is the reinfection time. The time from when a person is infected until they start infecting others. That number for "ordinary" Covid is something like 4-5 days. This new British variant that is causing us grief has a period of 48 to 72 hours.
That means that the victim is infectious before or at the same time as they develop symptoms. The Five day lockdown is to enable the contact tracers to keep up with the virus. There are already about a thousand contacts isolating in Victoria. What you should be concerned about is anyone who has traveled through terminal 4. |
I just cannot understand why we are continuing with this madness..how many more shutdowns will it take before quarantine is moved out of major cities

He used to blow up about border closures, now not a peep. It doesn't change anything and makes him look powerless compared to the premiers. He knows which way the wind blows. |
I think a push for change is coming. To move HQ out of the cities.

Just for information, does Australia/ NZ have a vaccination programme in place.? We can’t eliminate C19 in the long term, and vaccines seem the way out to a life of some normalcy worldwide.
Or is the idea to stay shut off from the rest of the World with a 0 infection C19 policy, as they fortunately have now. |
