Who is going to grant Anastacia Pallachook permission to leave QLD for the Tokyo Olympics? Will the chook be locked in a hotel room for 2 weeks on return?
Or will there be a series of Special Dispensations to allow the old duck to leave and return, but regular humans can just wait in the queue? |

Singapore has announced that they are going to stop counting COVID cases and they are going to start treating COVID as if it was a seasonal flu.
Finally a country and Government with half a brain. And before all the COVID scaredy-cats start bagging them out, Singapore is a very clean country with some of the best hospitals and medical systems on this planet. |
But no chewing gum.

Australia is at 25% first dose and 7% second dose. We too can be in Singapore’s position when we reach similar coverage levels, whenever that will be..... |

The opinion piece, authored by co-chairs of Singapore's Covid-19 multi-ministry task force - Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong and Health Minister Ong Ye Kung - is not much more than some thinking on how COVID-19 might be managed. It's yet another political "road map" to better times that lacks specificity. The penultimate paragraphs wrap it up: We are drawing up a road map to transit to this new normal, in tandem with the achievement of our vaccination milestones, though we know the battle against Covid-19 will continue to be fraught with uncertainty. In the meantime, we still need to take the necessary precautions and safeguards, to keep infections and hospitalisations at bay. |

Its definitely going to take something like this to make other countries take notice. We have very good medical systems here too along with good living conditions & just need to get the vaccination debarcle sorted. Theres no doubt Scomo has made a dogs dinner of the rollout however it was interesting to note his post on instagram this morning & the hundreds of anti vax comments. I bet that doesnt happen in singapore. |

The only reason Singapore are doing that, the only reason they can do that, is their wider vaccination coverage. They are at 61% first dose and 38% second dose, with a goal of reaching 67% second dose by August 9, Singaporean National Day.

“For months we’ve been advocating for a purpose-built regional quarantine facility in Queensland, like Howard Springs [near Darwin], that address the weaknesses we’ve seen in hotel quarantine,” Miles said.“The more facilities, the less risk of leaks in hotel quarantine and the more ability we will have to bring home stranded Australians coming from high-risk countries. “Australia needs more alternatives to hotel quarantine if we want to eventually return to life as normal.” The leak from hotel quarantine follows multiple cases where Queensland hospital workers contracted the virus despite not coming into direct contact with Covid-positive patients. Three separate nurses at the Princess Alexandra hospital contracted Covid earlier this year – including two who caught the virus from a patient with whom they had no contact. The ward was temporarily closed and is no longer used to treat Covid patients. Similar concerns are now focused on the Prince Charles hospital, where two staff have contracted the virus. One was an unvaccinated woman who worked as a receptionist outside the Covid ward. The Premier of Queensland has warned that Australia simply cannot contain the new Delta variant of Covid-19 with its current systems. |
