Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[HappyFlyerFamily]

Expect the numbers and exposure sites in Sydney will increase again today and for a couple of days. Hopefully by Wednesday-Friday we might see the effect of the lockdown kick in with the numbers and sites.

The irony of a lockdown with Delta will be likely household transmission.

NSW Health have already recognised that and said that most ppl in a household will test positive.

That's where the Special Health Accommodation comes in - if you cannot isolate at home, you should ask NSW Health to go into SHA.

ABC reports: Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has also flagged she wants to look at temporarily lowering the international passenger caps again.

So make it harder for Aussies to get home, when the community cases have come from air crew, is she going to restrict the freight arrivals too?

Interestingly I don't believe Gladys has asked for a reduction in arrivals. I'm not sure we need to - Sydney needs to ban aircrew, not passengers!

the other possibility given the timing, is that is the delta strain is linked to the delta strain circulating in Victoria and the miner brought it from Vic to Qld.

That's the kind of clutching at straws another member of the forum is prone to do when defending their home state... I very much doubt this is the case.

Or just police better / ban their dodgy transport drivers...

Can't do much when limo drivers are just following the rules and not the intent of the rules - ie wear a mask etc. when transporting international flight/freight crew

There are vehicles where the driver is airgapped from pax. Let’s find them and use them. Even use golf carts!!! The air crew can survive the 15 mins to the hotels

Make the fitter crew walk. Just have cattle prods ready if they choose to make a run for it

So relatively good news.

Gladys snaps back "There's a lot of experts with opinions that may or may not know the facts, we listen to the health advice of Dr Kerry Chant and her team".

Boom.

So in the regions now




And on the party:

So that’s a .0003% positivity rate. Most international “outbreaks” have seen positivity rates of over 20%.

The Glen Innes Severn case is actually related to The Granites gold mine outbreak, so the controls about leaving the Sydney metro region appear to be holding at this point.

She is a bit snappy today but give her a break, she’s under a massive amount of pressure and stress.

Anyway at least the numbers came down and the test numbers are still good!

Dr Chants comments around vaccine were good (and unsurprising as we know she shares Prof Sutton’s view on just getting it out there).

Yes.

Meanwhile the big issues "two men were found sunbaking naked on a South Coast beach"

This is the argument about recreation in your local area... not going out and doing something that then requires you to be rescued.

Great story though.

Possibly a way to deflect that they’d left their LGA? Not like they could present ID…

Good news from the party that an attendee, or a linked close contact, who had had only one vaccine dose remains negative.
