Stay home

This is what I thought you were getting at ,Dion confused me when he somewhat agreed with you and then made opposite statements.
Unfortunately you are correct ,Contrary to all the New age "freedom warriors"out there ,Govts need to rule with a iron fist to get on top of this.

where are you based Ribbiea , Vancouver ? or there abouts . how is it going there ? Maybe a good time to have some down time or leisure time on Victoria island while the virus still poses a threat . Or would it be even safer there ?

Stay away from the Island, Robbie or I'll get my fam to hunt you!

Conundrum can be solved by naming and shaming whilst also releasing their address to the public.

Too harsh?

Nope not too harsh at all in my mind.

christmas has been royally screwed for so many by the actions of a few.

to all those like myself who are in lockdown i know we will get through this and come out the other side.

I'm over on the other side of BC ,Golden to be precise .We are a border town (about 45 mins from Lake Louise)
We have Alberta to our East ,which was averaging 1500 new cases a day (with no border closures)
And I think here in BC we are at about the 600 a day rate.
We also have no quarantine hotels ,so I dare say ,tourists arriving are not doing any.
Our small town here in the mountains has a pop of 3500 ,and has been lucky so far .
But ,with the winter starting and a ski hill (kicking horse) on our doorstep ,the Albertan tourists are starting to turn up in droves.

Tell that to the skiers and sledders visiting here.

A couple were flying from Florida to Los Angeles last week when the elderly husband had a cardiac arrest and died during the flight. The wife admitted later that her husband had tested positive for COVID two days prior to the flight and was still suffering symptoms when he boarded the flight.

As my friends living in the USA always tell me...”Almost 50% of our population is nuts however neither 50% can agree which 50% is nuts.”

Yes, I think the government have over reacted in many ways to the virus, mainly due to the unknowns (I.e will the vaccine be effective due to mutations/ similar to the seasonal flu) that it has and how highly the government has placed it above all other factors the country has to stay afloat, my thought is the current band aid on the world economics will only last so long and Australia will not come out of this very well.

The link below will give an understanding of other illnesses with higher mortality rates, you can filter it by country etc.

Let me guess I need to do my “research”

Throw in brexit and how they have handled COVID I think we better placed than the UK

Just an FYI for Sydneysiders - I think the 15 new cases is a bit misleading. I got the close contact text Saturday arvo and went and got tested at Mona Vale hospital. They are WAY behind on results. No one from that night seems to have theirs (me included), some people from Friday are just getting theirs. They you'd have all yesterday

So I'd imagine from all the people that got texts from the close contact venues Saturday afternoon there should be a few more positives in that Mona Vale group.

Good scenery around Lake Louise . Gee, did not realize that the covid spread was quite serious in that part of Canada . Stay safe ,

Well put!!

It is horrible what is happening as of now with the EU considering banning road rail and sea on top of the already flights banned from the UK due to the new mutation of the virus. With Europe now over 500,000 lives lost the new mutation is not good news.

Many lives lost is not good and I have had reservations on the way the Australian government have handled the virus situation.

The UK has about 2 1/2 times Australia’s population but has recorded approximately 75 times as many deaths.

So yes, you are right to have reservations about Australia’s pathetic efforts vis-a-vis the UK.

my current wife queued up for 4.5 hours on Friday in the heat and waited till today and then called to follow up and after 90 mins trying to speak to some one was told they had lost her f^%$ng test

It’s hardly optimistic!

I wonder about the reporting too. I found out today about a cafe owner in Paddo having it but the whole narrative seems to insist it’s all on the Nthn Beaches.

I just had my test done - luckily not too big a queue so not too much hanging around.

Now waiting for my result.

Yeah it's pretty rubbish. My wife works at Nth Beaches hospital and can't work until I get my results so this taking ages means they're short staffed.

If I don't get my results tomorrow I'm going again somewhere else

 

[globaleagle]

are you all getting tested as you think you have it? Or do they give you a "i passed my covid test" cert?

(or you need it for work- was what I was getting at)

or - you're a parra fan

All the best with the results mate. I’m sure it will be all good.

I'm sorry, I'm sure you're not, I just wanted to use that old joke and you seem like you can handle it.

You have to stay isolated until you receive your results. You will still have to await results of any further testing anyway.
