Corona virus, Port and the AFL. Part 3.

[John the Butcher]

GC vs Melb on the GC today at 2:40.

Half a game with a crowd?

 

[Burningleviathan]

The PM said 80% of eligible people not 80% of the population. That would mean everyone under 18 not included, i would think. Would like to know what they define as eligible though. If there are other exclusions

 

[Grave Danger]

Is the Gold Coast in one of those Lockdown LGAs ? Where are we staying anyway?

We're staying in our Melbourne hotel rooms atm - supposed to be flying to Gold Coast on game day.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Queensland has announced a three-day lockdown for 11 LGAs of concern from 4pm Saturday.

One was locally acquired and is currently under investigation by contact tracers. The second case was overseas acquired and detected in hotel quarantine.

Now flying in to Gold Coast means flying back here from Gold Coast?
Can that happen without 14 days quarantine in sa?
If not then how can they possibly send Port up there?

SA won't let us back in

 

[Interstater]

Can we play Sunday's game at Alberton?

 

[manureid]

Just announced no sport at all. We aint playing there.

 

[PAFC66]

"there will be no football matches"

Our game will probably be canned..

They have to pause the season now....?

I don't even think we'll be able to get out of the state

That is the problem. We should not be going anywhere near Brisbane or the Gold Coast if we want to return to SA without quarantine. I assume GWS are already in Queensland so there is a problem.

 

[PAFC66]

Melbourne vs Sydney will have to be cancelled
Port Vs Suns cancelled
Essendon vs Sydney cancelled

They should of got out yesterday as their were cases escalating.

Agreed, I do not see how the season can continue if teams play in Queensland while Brisbane and the Gold Coast are in lockdown.

 

[jdeezy]

Impromptu split round, maybe? Could you get the teams up there out to maybe SA, WA or Tas straight away and then play the games next week or something?

Haha what a shitshow.

 

[raptalia]

It will take Gillion until Tuesday to announce that this weekend's matches have been cancelled.

They literally can't, they've banned professional sports.

Does Christmas Island have an Oval?

 

[PowerBaz]

Can’t wait to see what happens when Perth could hold the GF with a full house and the VFL have it the G with 10k.

 

[PowerBaz]

Hubs in SA, WA and Vic

So one of the infected in QLD is a med student who was tutoring the school girl with COVID. Has been to hospitals and a bunch of other places while infected. Best of luck Queensland. Let's hope their LGA lockdown is enough.

LGA based lockdown in Queensland might actually work because if what their councils are. The Brisbane LGA is all of Brisbane, not like how Adelaide Council is just the CBD.

Even at that number we’ll be miles away from true herd immunity, at a time when Delta is said to transmit with the same level of infectivity as chicken pox.

Yeesh to the power of yikes.

We don't even need to speculate. Look at the UK that has large percentage of their population vaccinated and are seeing a rise in cases. Was always going to happen when you get people mixing again.
What are the chances our state government allows hospitalisations in the thousands?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I don't like him but the points he made were fine. Lockdown fetishists are real. Many of them reside here.

Ill take your word for it. Id have to be paid to actually read or listen to anythng that muppet says.
