People flock to these testing stations, they get there before opening time and wait in line for up to 4hrs, it seems like a day out for them. The novelty will wear off soon when it takes just 1 covid positive case to trigger mass hysteria fear and panic toilet paper hoarding.

That bloke had contact with so many people that
now over 1000 people are in precautionary isolation.

I heard Hero Dan say on TV yesterday he's doing a good job!

Today I heard on TV ten suburbs in Melbourne are being looked at for possible infection

Now Victoria has to deal with this as well.

Hundreds of Victorian businesses ordered to pay back cash grants due to government blunder

https://www.9news.com.au/national/coronavirus-victorian-businesses-ordered-to-pa...

Quote:

Hundreds of Victorian businesses crippled by the coronavirus pandemic have been ordered to pay back their much-needed cash grants due to a major government blunder.
The cash injections were given to thousands of hospitality businesses devastated by the state's gruelling lockdown from the Licensed Hospitality Venue Fund.
But 9News can reveal more than $3.1 million in grants were wrongly paid to 293 licensed venues, with the helping hand now turning into a debt that needs to be repaid.

Oh, dear... Sad

IMHO they made the blunder(like Robo debt) they should write it off...... not put the final nail into their coffins.

Uh-oh!

Melbourne on high alert as another hotel quarantine worker tests positive for coronavirus

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/melbourne-on-high-alert-as-another-hotel-quarantine-...

Quote:

A quarantine worker at the Melbourne Airport Holiday Inn has tested positive for COVID-19, days after another worker contracted the virus at a different hotel.

I wonder how long we're going to allow this to continue before something serious is done to protect the Australian population from these "returned travellers" a large proportion of whom appear to be bringing the virus back with them?

Since we can't stop them returning if they're Australian citizens (apparently it has something to do with "Right of Return", an international law which enables passport holders to enter the country they hold the passport for without hindrance, a law which obviously didn't foresee a global pandemic such as the one we're having right now) then the Federal and State governments need to get their acts together and move the quarantine out of the major population areas.

They need to build quarantine centres outside the cities RIGHT NOW. A valid point about remote quarantine centres is that some people need urgent medical attention if they've got Covid. OK, then build hospitals alongside the quarantine centres as well.

If China could build a new hospital in 10 days last year then surely we can do something similar here? (yeah, right - with this country it would probably take 10 months just to award the contracts). Roll Eyes

Another cause for concern is this:

NSW health alert after returned traveller tests positive for COVID-19 following hotel quarantine

https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/nsw-health-alert-after-returned-traveller-te...

Quote:

The returned overseas traveller, who did not have any symptoms, tested positive on day 16 after two weeks of quarantine.

So, it looks like 14 days of quarantine may not be enough in some cases?

But, not to worry Melbourne - at least the tennis is still on (at the moment). Roll Eyes

what is important is that everyone stays in their beds under the sheets indefinitely.

we have no need to do anything productive or worthwhile

just hide in your room and food, water electricity entertainment health care sanitation, technology and every other human requirement will just "manifest" itself in your room.

we havent quite figured out how.

but if scomo can just print enough dollar bills and mail everyone a cheque, modern society will continue to function.

workers and productive people are of no consequence and are largely unneccessary.
Roll Eyes

people trying to produce things are merely getting in the way of the health emergency and are to be considered 'enemies of the state "
