This sandgroper variant sounds dangerous and deadly.
Hope we shut the boarders ASAP to this extreme risk.

...or a lot of people with very mild symptoms, or who didn't check in but were at exposure sites that deliberately won't get tested lest it stuffs their Christmas / New Year plans up.

Heap of graduate doctors now quarantining in Townsville following exposure at a graduation breakfast.
I caught Covid in March 2020, and was by definition a “mild” case: not admitted to hospital and no risk factors for severe disease, but how it has affected me and my family is anything but mild.
Having been fit and active, I now find that on bad days I still struggle with everyday chores, and my usually quick-firing brain remains in slo-mo (“brain fog”), a far cry from the way it used to function when I was still working as a consultant in infectious diseases.
Days become a hierarchy of lists: on bad days I have to prioritise only that which is essential, and on good days I have to be careful not to overdo it.
Pacing has become vital, and the joy of spontaneity has been vanquished.
Everything has to be planned, to allow for time and rest between each activity, be it physical or mental.

More than a million of us are suffering with long Covid – yet still it’s not taken seriously | Joanna Herman
Nearly two years into the pandemic, people like me are still out of action, says infectious diseases consultant Joanna Herman

Thanks for having the courage to post that
Hope things get better for you
It's an interesting case study WA
I thought the suppression strategy was considered impossible
I reckon the omicron variant will be our ticket out of this mess. If it pushes out deadlier variants, then it's the lesser of several evils.
Yes
May be a good news story (when looking back)
Just imagine if Omicron had been more deadly
Then we'd be stuffed, like we would be had those early rumours of a 10% death rate been true.

I worked in a gold mine in the far northern goldfields of WA in 1988 and 1989, when I was on nightshift, I could sit in the work ute and pick up 3GL (Geelong, 1342 on AM) as clear as a bell from 10pm until 6am, WST, when the atmospherics were perfect for it. HF would have been more fun but beggars can't be choosers.
89 would have been a good year listening to 3GL

I thought the big criticism, and there has been plenty of it in this thread, was that Morrison was asleep at the wheel in acquiring more vaccinations for Australia earlier?
CSL is still manufacturing AZ, a simple search would have given you that information. We could have had unlimited supply of a vaccine that doesn't have to be stored and transported at -70 but idiots like the Qld, CHO (sorry for mentioning the war) turned the general public off it, particularly those who were already vaccination hesitant.
A lot of the AZ still being manufactured is being sent to Pacific nations and SE Asian countries.

Agree. Early signs are very promising.
The media hysteria around this new variant has been bizarre.
Did she turn NZ off it and Canada and most of Wester Europe and South Africa too ?
US hasnt recommended AZ yet and their own CDC is recommending not taking JnJ because of very rare blood clots
amazing how Australia got a 90+% jab rate when people had choice

I haven't seen much discussion on BF about the ethical issues surrounding the hogging of vaccines by Australia and other wealthy nations, especially when we've moved onto boosters while other nations haven't had their first round of vaccines.
For all the whinging about selfish behaviour throughout the pandemic, surely that's right up there.
I had a short wave radio and an antenna my dad and i put up from my bedroom (top story in a corner) to the back fence. Used to get bbc, voice of america and other shortwave services.
One of Queensland’s most prestigious resorts has been dogged by staff walkouts, restaurant closures and anti-vaxxers badgering guests in the weeks before Christmas.
Among the complaints, guests have encountered staff refusing to wear masks and going on Covid conspiracy rants, while room service orders take hours to arrive.
Other guests complained of being confronted by staff entering rooms without masks or claiming that Covid was “a big conspiracy”, while room service dining has been the source of multiple complaints.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Versace declined to comment on reports unvaxxed staff were among the recent resignations, but said some of the departures were “much-welcomed” with the resort “excited to usher in a new era”.

Surely SA Health should stop bothering with listing exposure sites? Most of them are from over a week ago anyway, so any close contacts would've spread it far across the metropolitan area and possibly beyond. Just tell people to get tested if they feel sick.

probably not a bad idea to get tested if you were somewhere even if you dont feel sick if you are going to hug nan for Xmas

I listened to the first final (smacked by Essendon) drove back to Vic and went to the semi and pf and then joined the massive street party in Geelong for the gf. Happy days.
I've never liked it from the start, the other thing I don't like, WA in paticular are doing it, is trying to poach medically trained people from overseas.
An I said 6 months ago we had another 3 years of this shit and people mocked me.
Brace yourself everyone.
