Resource COVID19 V - The Info Thread

It makes sense, really. Double vaxxed + negative PCR test = no issue. Obviously there may be one or two breakthrough cases, but when the virus is rife anyway it matters little, particularly when the populace is heading towards 80% vaccinated.

Home Quarantine on a mass scale would have required a huge amount of resources to manage properly.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Interesting. Good for NSW.

Border between NSW and Vic is also disappearing for vaccinated people on the 19th.

Home Quarantine on a mass scale would have required a huge amount of resources to manage properly.

And would be largely pointless for vaccinated people, who've had a negative PCR test. At last, some sense! And finally some certainty for the 10's of thousands still stranded overseas.

All wearing Eagles‘ mask to the home games will be more intimidating to the opposition than not.

Great news for NSW Residents stuck overseas and good news for those in the tourism industry in Sydney. The fear meter in Wa will be dialled upto 12 next time McGowan speaks.

It’s been stuck at 12 since March 2020.

There should have been more pressure on the Federal Government for allowing tens of thousands of Australians to leave and return (some half a dozen times) whilst they apparently distanced themselves from their pledge to get every Australian home by Christmas 2020.

Could’ve just stopped the sentence there, to be honest.

Since the start of 2021 we've had 12 days of hard lockdown in total and about a month or two of masks. Business is doing pretty well here compared to locked down NSW and Victoria - our unemployment rate went down last month compared to the rest of the country. Our last COVID death is a distant memory. The cost of having NSW throwing it open in November is tens of thousands of cases and dozens of preventable deaths (even with vaccinations being redirected to NSW from the beginning).

If you're one of those that think WA has not largely handled COVID appropriately since it began then you're in a tiny minority, the segment that is ideologically opposed to McGowan and what he and his government stand for rather than acknowledging the practical reality that WA has had it damn good since January 2020.

Better than this. Actually, WA has never registered any Covid Death due to local transmission. All the 9 Covid Death booked to WA were from the Cruise Ships infected from outside WA.

This in year in particular it feels like we've been in a different world to NSW and Vic. Life has been amazingly normal (bar travel), and COVID has just been something you hear about in the news.

Life may actually get much much tougher for us once borders open. Not just in terms of case numbers, hospitalisations and deaths, but in terms of restrictions such as masks, distancing and reduced capacities. In gaining our freedom to travel we will lose other freedoms for a period of time.

More fully vaccinated people in WA = Less restrictions when we open. That is the bottom line and there is no excuse anymore. There are free spots everywhere especially in the Perth Metro.

According to McGowan's FB, 98.2% of people over 70 have had one dose which is really good.

But what restrictions are there currently? I can't think of any ( could be wrong about that).

But when borders open, McGowan and Cook have already flagged reduced capacities and masks. Which makes sense in order to stop the virus circulating so much.

Can we get these in blue and gold then

#BREAKING Don't book the tickets just yet...! Word from Canberra that Fed Govt may be about to throw a spanner in NSW plan to "open to the world". Feds want all stranded Aussies home first, no tourism IN or OUT until then. PM to speak soon. #covid #strandedAussies #auspoI

You’ve inferred quite a lot from a one line reply as to the fear level of Mcgowan media appearances. Congrats.

I’m so glad we have a national cabinet made of of the federal government and the leaders of all the states and territories so we get a uniform and unified approach to covid across the country

So, are we going to cancel those white elephant custom quarantine facilities they are planning to build?

Come hell or high water the chook will make sure someone gets to sleep in the new digs at Toowoomba even though it has just started being built.

Australia is pretty good at locking people up, they won't be collecting dust.

Coronavirus Tasmania update: Southern Tasmania enters a three-day snap lockdown

amp.9news.com.au

How to manage Home Quarantine efficiently and effectively will be a big challenge to govts to stop idiot like this to cause health threat and unncessary lockdown?
This guy should be punished more than just a simple fine as he is now causing 3 days financial loss to many Tasmanian business (knowing that he is Covid positive himself).

Fyfe's there watching his missus at the moment in the cricket, so he's in lockdown and might have to quarantine coming home depending how the next few days go for Tassie

From what I ‘ve read, returned WA residents are required quarantine only if they have been to the hotspots(exposure sites?). However, report mentioned that the guy was not cooperating and hence the exposure sites might not be that accurate.
