Yes, for reasons unbeknownst to us Bill Gates is out to kill us all, or control us all, or make money off a non existant vaccine, or some other contradictory narrative

Re: Coronavirus
It actually started with the protests in the US and the claim was 'well nobody seems to be get infected now so maybe it was all a hoax'... so I replied 'well according to worldometers 22,000 new cases were reported in the US yesterday'... so that triggered the 'you are a bit of a sheep following that mainstream media, don't you know about the hoax theories that you won't find on mainstream media' I said no, show me a link and he posted a Fox news article.. so I pointed out that Fox is pretty mainstream and also pointed out the obvious flaws in the article..... his response 'look I don't have time to argue about this'

Re: Coronavirus
Interesting NSW have essentially binned over 200 of their active cases as they were active for 6+ weeks
Their method of tracking recovered patients is through self reporting which I find a bit odd
Apparently there are 138 active cases remaining in Australia

Re: Coronavirus
Victoria really needs to sort itself out, they're letting the team down. Don't they wash their hands down there or something?
Re: Coronavirus
Large areas of Melbourne now going back into heavier restrictions as reported on ABC news breakfast today. Is it a second wave or that the high level of testing is finding more people? I am hoping for the second. People are asked to not enter or leave 6 local council areas which together, it is reported, make up 20% of Victoria's population.
Re: Coronavirus
It's not a second wave, it's a few clusters spread by selfish gits doing the wrong thing
Re: Coronavirus
Like people getting tested and then going to packed shopping centres..
Like what the actual **** are these people thinking...

Legitimate question, has there been any update on whether or not the app is working, or effective?

Re: Coronavirus
When I’ve heard mentions in the media they’ve referred to technical difficulties in May so I hope that means that they addressed them?
Overall it sounds like it hasn’t had much use since the case load has been small and the take-up has been average.

Re: Coronavirus
Building a wall around Victoria would be a good idea in the best of times.
What’s the status of community transmission in NSW? I keep hearing it’s controlled. Are the rising cases all from overseas? The information isn’t flowing freely.

A quick look shows two locally acquired cases for NSW this week.

There's a trickle one or so every few days. The vast majority are travellers in quarantine. Victoria is the problem.gangrenous wrote:A quick look shows two locally acquired cases for NSW this week.

Re: Coronavirus
Some hard decisions coming up in the next few weeks.
Tasmania NT, SA have essentially eliminated the virus. ACT also but have open borders with NSW.
NSW, WA and QLD are oh so close
Victoria is a long way off.
Does NSW close their borders to Victoria and the rest of the country open up to each other.
Do all of the states accept that we can't eliminate and open all borders.
Do Victoria go back into a lockdown to try and eliminate so that we have a virus free country?
Its worrying that Victorians are heading to Sydney for the weekend. Gladys has a decision to make.

It won’t stop tunnelling. But I heard Gladys is gonna build a wall and make those Victorians pay for it!
Re: Coronavirus
Doc, do we know if it is a specific Coronavirus strain which is prevalent in Victoria? The Victorian Premier originally asked the Feds for military assistance and was given it, then he changed it to a fraction of the number originally requested. Everyone is smart in hindsight but this is a confusing series of decisions.

Re: Coronavirus
NZ back up to 13 active cases after declaring they have eliminated the virus; largely stemming from not properly testing returned travellers.
Salient warning for the non-Victorian states and territories allowing the Mexicans to spread their germs willy nilly across the rest of the country.

Re: Coronavirus
It's virtually impossible to remain virus free while it's still prevalent around the globe, unless you completely seal off your country. Which is not overly practical.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑June 27, 2020, 8:10 am NZ back up to 13 active cases after declaring they have eliminated the virus; largely stemming from not properly testing returned travellers.

Re: Coronavirus
This thing will run around the community forever now, especially whenever the borders are reopened.
A vaccine would help control it, but it's basically a common virus now, like the flu or the cold.

Re: Coronavirus
Indeed, but it also does seem like the kiwis forgot to implement their own testing and reporting protocol for returned travellers.
