what was the frigging point of all of our restrictions then if we are determined to import more cases again?
we better not start locking things down again one we start bringing in disease ridden victorians in a few weeks....
I support you keeping your borders closed, but this is a dead set stupid comment.
He has a point. We probably will have to go into lockdown if we start letting in disease ridden Victorians.
Just heard on the radio that we should expect cases here as of next week after they bring in 300 people from overseas this weekend
300 were flown in 2 days ago they are all Australian citizens and also include defence force . 800 arrived from India over a month ago and our processes (whilst lengthy) are tight - rest assured we are in good hands . Just keeping that Vic boarder closed for now is our safety net . ( those figures from someone in the know)
Not sure who I listened to on the radio before but he said we should expect around 30 cases next week from the people who have come from overseas. It's the local station here but the news service is from 5AA I reckon
I'm only a dumb country **** these days, but YTF don't they test these people BEFORE they get on a plane?
Every intended passenger has to be tested 4 days before and present a certificate?
Anyone that travels internationally is well aware that some people are quite happy walking up and down the aisles coughing and hoiking their guts up the entire flight. One person with it gets on a plane full of healthy passengers and whammo.
Same with Melbourne - need a certificate BEFORE you get on a plane to Adelaide.
OK, they may contract it between testing and lift off but surely its basic risk management that should pick up most cases.
Or did that English lady miraculously catch, and develop it, in the hour on the plane over here?
