Covid 19 (OPEN DISCUSSION)

[Godfather32]

Too late to worry about football, we already hit the iceberg

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

The iceberg is Simmo's 2019-2021 gameplan.

 

[Biggie]

We’re all clear here

Poor lad still has to isolate for 2 weeks. Another test in 5 days.

Omicron shows up by day 5, mate. So if he's worried, RAT on day 5 for his own sake.

Ahh does it?

So what of us? Do we need to stay isolated?

 

[Biggie]

This report says day 3 (12th Jan)

When am I contagious if infected with omicron?

It’s not yet clear when people infected with omicron become contagious but it might be sooner than earlier variants.

[Biggie]

Ahh here’s a 5 day report (Jan 21)

What is the Incubation Period for the Omicron Variant and How Long Are You Contagious?

If you test positive for coronavirus or are exposed to someone who has during the omicron surge, what is the incubation period and how long could you be contagious? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance last month, shifting the timing for isolation and quarantine as...

Do we need to stay isolated?

Have WA Health contacted you to notify you as a close contact? If so, yes you need to isolate for 14 days.

Have WA Health contacted you to notify you as a casual contact? If so, yes you need to get tested and isolate until a negative result is returned.

Otherwise no, but if you think you may have it, get tested. If you get a PCR done you'll need to isolate until the result (24 - 72 hours).

You can do whatever WA Health have told you to. I'm just relaying what I've been told by my brother who works at a hospital in Melbourne re: the 5 days.

That's why the 14 day iso is crap for omicron. If you haven't got it by day 7 you haven't got it at all.

Have we had any word on when that's changing here?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

When we hit a high caseload.

 

[Godfather32]

When we hit a high caseload.

But no clarification on what a "high caseload" is yet?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

But no clarification on what a "high caseload" is yet?

It’s a caseload that’s high.

 

[Godfather32]

It’s a caseload that’s high.

Oh...why didn't you just say so before?

 

[Forward Press]

It’s a caseload that’s high.

I thought it's a caseload that's not low?

 

[Godfather32]

I believe it's when one of these guys gets covid

 

[DanWCE]

But no clarification on what a "high caseload" is yet?

Intentionally ambiguous, much to the chagrin of parents with school aged children everywhere.

 

[larrikin]

Just confirming under 18's can't get boosters yet? Anyone looked into this more thoroughly?

 

[Dazzler9]

Just confirming under 18's can't get boosters yet? Anyone looked into this more thoroughly?

Got a feeling it was just approved for 16-17.

On SM-G970F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Would this be picked up when trying to book online (based on DOB?)

No contact has been made with us at all.

We withdrew into our home until his result came back

I assume his girlfriend will be contacted if he becomes positive on 5th day

Thats why WA govt will reduce the quarantine period to 7 days when we reach some magical number of communitah cases.

420 a day
