Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[Batterytraveller]

Vic Presser.

Almost 16 thousand people are isolating.

Lockdown will be extended. But details will be decided/announced tomorrow.

Good to know that it's definite. Can now work on getting my Falls Creek bookings refunded, or moved, or something.

Vic Presser continued.

First case from watching Euro final has emerged. At The Crafty Squire.

"That [Crafty Squire] case is of concern — it is absolutely an example of how quickly this variant is moving in the short time we're seeing between exposure and being infectious," Professor Sutton said.​

• Mildura Man (MCG). Plus household contact (So transmission in Mildura).
• 4 from Miss Frankies.
• 2 linked to Trinity Grammar.
• 1 social contact of Philiip Island cluster
• 1 linked to AAMI Park
• 1 to Young and Jacksons
• 1 to Bacchus Marsh Grammar
• 1 at The Crafty Squire (Euro Final)

Total = 13 cases till midnight last night.

Of the newer cases the viral load at time of testing is lower indicating that the infections are being picked up earlier.
The average period of infectious days in the community will also have decreased.

With newer information on people who did not seat near each other at both AAMI Park and MCG but have been part of transmission events the Tier 1 requirements are being extended, plus second testing required.

“Today’s AAMI park case was seated in an area of the ground that was not anywhere near the initial case,” he said.​

​

“We think that transmission’s occurred on the pinch point on entry.”​

​

​

“If you were on level two of the (MCG) Members Reserve at any stage and have already had one test, I am requesting that you obtain a second test when possible following your first test, reflecting that upgraded risk,” Professor Sutton said.​

Dan Andrews:

There are 4 cases since midnight, but all were in isolation already.

RIP TikTok guy.

Looking at the Vic transmissions, only 3 from the “unbounded” population locations (i.e. pubs and sporting events). Fingers crossed this means not as much transmission as feared and not just people not being tested.

Hoping my information is wrong but hearing SA is going into L4 restrictions this evening

seems it is a bit of a mess up with SA Health here.
What are Level 4 restrictions?

 

[oz_mark]

98...Tik tok man is over.

37 wild or partially wild in the community (plus 7 unclear).

I wonder if they tried the old school trick of giving different people different numbers!

 

[MEL_Traveller]

RIP TikTok guy.

Phew. We are all safe again! (NSW Health claimed the early release of figures was an immense danger to public health - wait for it... because the figures weren't supported by commentary. So I'm relived that's one less thing to be challenged by )

- No pineapple on pizzas
- Police commissioner thawed out and reanimated from cryo-sleep
- Emergency blow waves for the CHO
- Catching footballs with gloves on

I shouldn't laugh but it will be full scale panic here. It is an older man who returned from Argentina I understand but went to actual hospital for his quarantine, was released and now infections. Or I could have that all wrong. It's all a bit of a mess. He was in NSW quarantine and had a fall but the dates all seem to be a bit weird.

I thought she said they did HQ in Sydney and he had an injury there and spent part of it in a Sydney hospital.

I'm wondering what it means for locals though not travellers. No pizzas I guess.

Yes I amended it but the timings still seem too long for him to still be infectious.

It seems thankfully that sanity has prevailed and will only have a slight tinkering to restrictions

Probably my imagination but it seemed a number of points raised today (by media) in the NSW press conference were noted in this thread recently.

Today I'm getting the sense that there is more asymptomatic transmission - hopefully not a sign of positives telling a white lie of not having symptoms to the contact tracers.

Its been awfully civilised across AFF threads for the past 24 hours - just like covid, bracing for the next outbreak/report.

As much as I dont want to say this they are most likely out buying toilet paper or should I say trying. Remember theres going to be a high demand in Sydney with all the construction workers being at home for the next 2 weeks.

Groan. Exposure dates going back a week. Bet they wished they didn’t have a full house at the footy yesterday.

Luckily it was far from full (probably less than 50%) and hopefully this gentleman due to his age hasn’t visited 5x Bunnings, 6 Dan Murphy’s and 17 different take away food premises

People more sensible than SA Health then. Or given up on the Crows!

Sounds like he lives with daughter and has a large family. But where did he get it? Hospital in NSW?

Arrived back here on the 8th it’s taken a while to develop symptoms. Hospital in NSW seems most likely at this stage

It will be interesting to see the genomic result which strain he has. And that will in part determine how strict the settings that SA will run with.
