Peter 4,072 Posted November 19 Author Report Share Posted November 19 I’m surprised he bothered given SA can’t leave home and even next week will be locked into a 5km radius of home. Quote The Victorian government has closed the South Australian border, after coronavirus fragments were detected in Portland in the state’s far west on Saturday. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced a temporary "hard" border closure would come into effect as of midnight Thursday. That will be followed by a permit system which will come into effect from Acting Chief Health Officer Allen Cheng said the fragments were found in wastewater samples on Tuesday that had been clear of the virus last week. Professor Cheng said the viral fragments could either be from an active case, or a recovered case who may still be shedding the virus. "It's always difficult to interpret," he said. "It is possible that a recovered case for Melbourne has visited these areas." Anyone who has been in Benalla or Portland since Sunday with any symptoms should get tested immediately, he said Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were there supporting a patient, the Dr heard them coughing and made them take the test. Kudos to that man. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coming up to Yr 12 graduation here in QLD and schools close to here are constructing outdoor facilities to hold them in (not sure if this everywhere).

How about....."Lets meet for coffee and cake and sort this mess out." The quality of leadership (or lack thereof) and the level of maturity (or lack thereof) that has been displayed recently by these two female leaders has set the cause of gender equality in our political system back by at least 10 years. Seriously, if you want immaturity and pass the buck leadership, vote a bloke in. Males are far more qualified in those departments than any woman ever will be. If we had 2 blokes as Premiers, they've have organised a corporate box at Suncorp stadium, knocked over a few beers, watched the State of Origin and sorted it all out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As Peter said , they said yesterday they'd identfied it as a UK strain - so something new. The extreme reaction to information form one person was probably needed, but it's good they followed up. Pity the investigators didn't get it sooner. Unfortunatey, it doesn't surprise me that some twat decided it was funny, necessary or unimportant to give false information. There are always people out there that lie and deceive for their own benefit, or to hide something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cat Lady 815 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 There is no “issue”, what scared the bejeezers out of the scientific people is that the guy in question lied which made them believe this strain of virus was something new , transmissible by cardboard box and within a much shorter time frame, hence more virulent, and as such there would be a truck load of people infected who bought pizza in those few days. They locked everyone up because of this supposition, since proven to be false. I can’t believe they are keeping the strict lock down for several days. Crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
