I'd like to know - as per my right wing ex for whom I am carer - why it is that there are people STILL being tested after a holiday OFFSHORE and being found to be the source of extended contagions?????

"just returned from a cruise"... "just returned from blah-blah"..

What are these people? Secret Boat People?

DUH - 14 people who returned to Victoria from holidays tested positive and spread the beast... DUH????

Whoa, Dudes and Dudesses - did they pick it up on a trip to New South Wales .. or was it South Australia? Huh

Looks like the answer is NO

Quote:

Tweeting this week, Liberal senator Sarah Henderson said: "Daniel Andrews blames law abiding Victorian families for doing the wrong thing rather than 10,000 illegal protesters?"

Some of Senator Henderson's Liberal Party colleagues, including Matthew Guy, Georgie Crozier and Tim Smith, as well as Evan Mulholland of the Institute of Public Affairs, tweeted similar criticisms, while headlines have also declared that the "upsurge in COVID cases [is] linked to Melbourne Black Lives Matter protests".

But these assertions contradict the guidance of officials of the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services, who continue to report that the current burst of cases does not stem from the rally. They have said that while one protester "may have been infectious at the rally", two others who have since tested positive for COVID-19 were not infectious at the rally, nor is there evidence they contracted the virus at the rally.

Rather, Victoria’s Chief Health Officer, Brett Sutton, has linked the increase in cases to family gatherings, citing family spread as the "main cause" of 120 cases in the week to June 22.

People have not followed our advice around physical distancing, hygiene and limiting the number of people you invite into your home," he said in a statement.

Australia's Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Nick Coatsworth, also dismissed claims the spike could be linked to the protests, telling reporters that "there is no evidence that there has been chains of community transmission that we are aware of through the Black Lives Matter protests".

According to official Australian Government advice, "most people who are infected will develop symptoms within 14 days of infection". It has been 20 days since the Black Lives Matter protest in Melbourne.

FD will be so disappointed Cheesy

Disappointed that they are still preventing people from going fishing and other benign outdoor activities, despite the rally. All those beach bans were obviously a waste of time.

37 new cases yesterday. We haven't had that many since April 19.

Where are they doing that? Certainly not in QLD.

A few days after the protest, they closed a big pier to fishing in Victoria.

No evidence of things they do not know?

Well they had better stop marrying/partnering & having children outside their race don't you think?

You do realise that there has been a huge increase in the population of Aboriginals, TIs & those who identify as such in the past 20 years?

Endangered my eye ....

1999 pop. was 418,800

2020 pop. 798,365

Nearly doubled in 20 years. Roll Eyes

Probably because people can claim to be aboriginal if they have aboriginal ancestry that goes back 5 or 6 generations. They might look like a bronze Eurasian. But if their great-grandmother was aboriginal, they can consider themselves aborigine.

It is no surprise then that having an average 3 children per aboriginal family (biracial or not), their numbers will grow. Some people who did not claim to be aboriginal in 1999 are probably considering themselves aboriginal now, through advanced DNA tracing. That just adds to the numbers.

Not double in 20 years ... that aint 3 per family.

You can double a population inside 20 years. Lowered death rates and a decent birth rate would double the population of a racial group. And the few that did not identify as aboriginal in the 1996 census would likely have put aboriginal as an ancestry in 2016 census. It can happen.

I have just awoken to news that the grocery stores have reintroduced buying restrictions for toilet paper again. Panic buying has set in with shelves looking empty. Ahh Rockhampton. You need to keep up with the southern states. That includes acting like idiots.

So much for my plan to get back to my normal method of buying in bulk through a wholesaler.

That won't be available again as well. Angry

I also blame the supermarkets for allowing it to get going again......

trolleys full of toilet paper should have been turned around, told to put it back or leave the store.

We'll end up with permanent restrictions on items if this keeps up.

That’s not what I have seen, there are notices up specifically instructing one packet toilet roll per customer.
So they are not letting it get away again, they have learn well from before.
But then again, that’s in Victoria, why would there be panic buying up in Queensland when only one case covid infected appeared overnight?

I’m sure you can do the bulk buying Gnads, find out rather than assuming.
Let us know how it goes.

In the meantime, this bothers me....but what bothers me more, there is this debate, whether returned travellers should be tested for covid or not.... say what???? Shocked

And then this spike overnight....41 cases in Botchtoria Victoria Shocked

Just noticed some more shops having put up their Virus Shields and implemented strict measures again.
Hopefully it doesn't get worse, as Victorians are a welcome influx during holidays - which makes a big difference to the region. These school holidays will again be a fizzer for Tourism here - but it's been like that since the holidays.

Then why are toilet roll areas in supermarkets in Vic & NSW empty again?

Are those on here reporting a scarcity again
fibbing?

There have been less cases in QLD than in NSW & Vic from the outset ......

but the panic buying went through QLD just like it did everywhere else.

The world is full of stupid people ...no?

That's 10% of our maximum ever daily count. I think we are in the second wave, and this time it is all local community transmission.
