Totally agree, terrible



Confused on testing, they want people to be tested yet Marshall is saying many people getting tested shouldn’t be tested?

There are a stack of hypochondriacs and bed wetters out there that are being tested regularly because they think they might have a sniffle or they visited a exposure site for 12 seconds 2 days after a infected person did.
Plenty don’t need to be tested and are clogging up the system. Hopefully when RAT’s are more available that will see restring cut dramatically

Where / how do you listen to the experts?

Multiple sources, multiple countries of origin on specific questions I have.

But all on the web eh?

Pick up your long bow, I'm not playing along.

The longbow was one of the most effective weapons in history. Just ask Froggy

Plus those that just want a free pass at 48-72 hours of work without a boss hasseling them

The definition of close and casual contacts wasn't helping either or travelling from a hot spot location.....

Had 2 tests in the past month due to these classifications despite showing no symptoms what so ever!

About 20k new cases across the country and a reduction in the number run hospital.

However the death of a 2 year old is very sad.

One of the key issues is having a national standard and some consistency across the country.

It is something that has been lacking so far. Basically leaving it up to the states to work through this.

Recently a mates wife was a close contact and they got themselves tested and the kids as well. It could be argued that he probably didn't need a test, but as he put it so eloquently that he was within close contact (sex) with his wife for more than 15mins (all his mates doubt this very much) during her alleged infection period that he would have it if she had it.

To a degree he has a point. If she has contracted then he would definitely have it.

However he would only be a causal contact, but common sense says differently.

[stan]

Although we have a national definition now for a close contact, as expected SA will have additional requirements. Basically the 15mins will still make you a close contact and QR codes are still in place.

Miss Nicola will not give up power so easily.

Whilst I'm not looking at cases alone and hospitalisations etc, NSW, 21,151 new cases today.

And I’d take that with a grain of salt as many aren’t even bothering to be tested.
Only 16 new hospitalisations from 21k though so fingers crossed

Just had my booster shot. Quite a streamlined process now, I pretty much waltzed straight in with no waiting.

I reckon I'll be feeling a bit under the weather tomorrow, but I doubt it's going to be because of the covid shot.....

[Armchair expert]

Listen to Marshall talking about "close contacts" he has no ******* idea
