Resource COVID19 V - The Info Thread

My sister had Covid but despite her husband and daughter both experiencing symptoms and getting knocked around a bit, both continue to test negative, including multiple PCRs

Well that's plain confusing.

We had something else go through the house a few days earlier. Pretty sure my daughter caught that from me and then caught Covid from a friend who'd been to a scout camp where there was a Covid outbreak. My daughter missed that camp due to being a close contact so was doubly ripped off.

Covid definitely not the only game in town which can be pretty annoying.

Something similar happened to my mate but he tested positive about a week and a half after isolation ended.

My daughter had Covid (full Flu symptoms, positive PCR). My wife, son and I all avoided catching it, so it's not a guarantee. We shared a bathroom and had at least four stuff ups with towels too.

Yeah, we share a bed and have not taken any precautions so...

No-one wants to hear about your sex life mate.

Yeah larrikin - my 7 old was in the thick of it here, and didn’t get it.

Strange old virus this one

Not really. The common cold can do the same. Some people catch it, some don't....I don't get why some people are flabbergasted when they don't catch it despite being in a household with someone who's sick. Not everyone gets sick just because another person is.

Yeah, it's a tad more transmissible than a cold.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I have a friend whose youngest caught it at daycare. Their eldest (kindy) and both parents didn't catch it and they've now completed their iso period.

Wild.

I mentioned earlier my wife had a false positive RAT (positive RAT, negative PCR)? One of her workmates had the same experience.

I have a cold, three days straight of negative RATs though so I think I'm good. Dodging and weaving this thing like Juddy through traffic.

Quite a few at my footy club who i have trained and played with have got Covid over the last 2-3 weeks and i have yet to get it..

Fingers crossed it stays that way lol

 

[dewcefault]

Also worth remembering that while the vaccines don't provide a heap of immunity from catching the virus they do still provide some protection. For some they'll provide more protection than others.

Combine that with viral loads and all those other things and you can see why some people in the same household catch it and some don't.

 

[Forward Press]

And like with all infectious diseases, you can be surrounded by them with no protective measures at all and still not contract it. The bubonic plague was highly infectious and medieval Europe wasn't exactly at the forefront of medical science but many didn't catch it at all.

The human body is a funny thing sometimes.

 

[ZergMinion]

9340 cases today and 248 in hospital (9 ICU). If you take yesterdays ICU figures instead (10), all these figures are higher than at any point last week.

I assume that means we've ticked up again due to restrictions easing at the start of the holidays which would suggest it's too soon for another round of easing.

 

[Forward Press]

Businesses are saying it's too strict and should be unwound asap, AMA is saying it's too lenient and early.

Ergo, at the moment the current approach is correct imo.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

i think the big jump is the lack of testing during easter. would think this will drop down again tomorrow and over the weekend as usual only to go up again next week

frankly the only measure that i think needs to go is masks in a variety of areas. keep it for high risk

 

[Luuuc]

Pass the peak... start relaxing... things start increasing again.
Not unexpected I guess, and it probably does vindicate the slower-than-we-wanted easing of restrictions.
Guess we'll still be masking up for a while yet :/

 

[ep2018]

Mask mandate until after winter I'm guessing.

no chance. the maxmium was 4 months with sa. it will end by the end of this month or may the economic damage in the cbd is substantial

Two ALP leaders. Can’t be a coincidence.



…wait, yes it can.

One of McGowan's kids is in hospital in a serious condition

I hope masks remain mandatory in schools, personally.

Yep. Expect household contact isolation to go not far behind.

Apparently Covid is done.

For my son's sake I don't. He's struggled with it.
