What do people actually think happens from here?

It's a month till we get any sort answer right? Which means 6-8weeks minimum before a possible opening, that puts us around early April. Opening early April seems not the smartest move given Winter is right around the corner. But waiting too much longer and even the booster shots start to wane.

Next year?

Does Winter and Summer really make a lot of difference on Covid in Perth? The temperature differential is not much compared to UK, US and Canada.
 
Which thread can I bash mask mcgowan in?

What a tosser

No doubt we have another strain and need our 2nd booster before we open.

Can someone explain to him that this isn't going away and we look like ****ing cavemen?
 
It definitely does on the normal flu, which will still fill up the hospitals.
I really dont know the answer.
Lower temperature and lower humidity favour the covid spreading.
Our summer is high temperature low humidity, but winter is lower temperature, higher humidity. The temperature and humidity factors counter balance each other.

Apparently it's humidity that makes the difference (low humidity slows the virus). So all good if you live up north and we open up in June.

Our Omicron outbreak takes off and we open up between mid Feb and mid March this year. The final effect ends up being extremely similar to if we didn't have an existing Omicron outbreak and we'd opened up on Feb 5. It ends up being a bit better than if we'd opened up on Feb 5 with our existing outbreak going.

decrease in humidity will increase in covid case is what the following article said.

You could be right here

From the posted article above

The Chief Health Officer recommended a ‘case number threshold’ be established for opening the international and interstate borders if Omicron outbreaks grew to large levels before whatever the new planned opening date was.

“If the Omicron disease were to enter WA prior to WA opening, or the current outbreak becomes established, consideration should be given to opening the borders when WA reaches a community daily caseload above a threshold level, which would require assessment to ensure that this would not further exacerbate the outbreak,” Dr Robertson said.

You would think: SCG , Kardinia Park and Carrara (Metricon) would be ruled out straight away.


The Eagles record on those grounds are not that good. Dont think Metricon suits the Eagles stay, as its one of the dewy grounds in the comp.

I think Adelaide Oval is another ground that suits West Coast style.
Gabba thanks. I live opposite so could watch every couple of weeks.
 
Having 7 News on in the background, their poll had 73% of respondents agreeing with the decision to delay reopening.

Obviously in no way scientific but I found that number quite high, I expected closer to 50/50, especially given the noise on social media.

I think it makes sense to keep the borders closed, I agree with his decision.
I definitely feel sorry for people who were expecting to be able to see their family in the couple of weeks, it's a f****d situation.
I think a lot of the extra angst is around his messaging, he's been standing firm on the opening date as the 5th of Feb when he probably should have set the scene weeks ago that with the changing situation Feb 5th wasn't locked in.

Most who agree with it probably haven’t posted anything on social media. Tends to be those who disagree who voice their opinions more and that’s for anything

A 70/30 split makes sense. A majority want it but there is still a rather large minority.
