Caronavirus - COVID 19

[mightytiges]

They are doing 6 days of full lockdown

And then the 8 days there will restrictions but the hope is some of the more severe may get lifted
 
6 + 8 = 14

From what I read everything is dependant on the number of cases over the next few days

Thanks for that WP. That makes more sense.

Apparently this SA strain also causes symptoms to occur more rapidly (within just a couple of days) compared to the Vic one which could take up to 10 days.

Yes heard that to

People were queuing up 8 hours to get tested in 34o heat

SA have a premier who knows what he is doing in this case unlike our Dictator, and is also not a narcissist so i expect there to be much more controlled than here.

Just read that South Aust is going into full lockdown for 6 days

Everything closed

Exercise won't even be allowed

Masks now compulsory

Their Premier calling it a 2nd wave

It started at hotel quarantine

And this is the "you can't be serious" part

A person who works at the Stamford got the virus off a person who works part time at a Pizza place. The part time worker was also working at the Quarantine hotel where this cluster started 

The CHO in SA was asked about that and said " well in hindsight...."

Seriously, after what happened in Victoria have people learnt nothing?

It seems like you couldn’t help yourself WP

So now you brought it up tell me how did the Andrews government conduct themselves in the hotel quarantine fiasco in Victoria.

Your response should be swift just like your response was when another state goes into lockdown

Shame on you Frankie, couldn't resist bringing in politics could you And having a go at me?

This thread is about COVID19 and that is what I posted about

I am actually applauding what SA are doing. Absolute right call

I am amazed though that some lessons have appeared not to have been learnt from the monumental mistakes made in hotel quarantine here in Victoria. When it comes to hotel quarantine I would have thought what happened here would be a beacon on HOW NOT TO DO HOTEL quarantine, you know lessons learnt? Going by reports it hasn't been the case. As I posted have people learnt nothing?

Throw in the incredibly stupidity of people and SA has a 2nd wave. I could add a few other comments here about that behaviour but will not set myself up to be attacked by other posters

Going early to lock down is the best option because as has been seen it works. It's no picnic but it does work.

So kudos to the SA govt for making a tough but right call

Victoria has now closed the border with SA.

Scott Morrison praises Dictator Steven.

South Australia will be “back to normal” within a week, Scott Morrison says, despite previously criticising Victoria’s hard lockdown measures.


SA’s Liberal Premier Steven Marshall announced on Wednesday the state would go into a six-day lockdown, as he looked for a “circuit breaker” to quell a spike in COVID-19 cases.


The Prime Minister said the system would be in place “no day longer than it has to be” and was “the result of careful consideration” by the SA government.


“We’re going to back his judgment on this. I’m very confident he’ll have things back to normal within a week,” Mr Morrison told Sky News’ The Kenny Report in a wide-ranging interview.


“Their tracing system is working very well, their isolation system is working very well. Their testing system has been extraordinary.”

Another hotel security guard worked at the same pizza joint but lied to authorities by saying he only bought a pizza there. What a selfish idiot!     

SA's CHO said genome testing shows it's a UK strain that spread from hotel quarantine by a casualised worker to their large family and to the pizza shop. So a repeat of what happened in Vic. The SA premier said he is seeking advice from the federal AHPC about the risk of casualised workers in hotels working other jobs.

Dictator Steven should have use the police and ADF.

Heads must roll.

[1965]

I heard Dictator Steven was offered ADF personnel but knocked them back.

SA can thank a young doctor for spotting their outbreak early. She noticed one of her patients had a slight cough and decided to swab them to test for covid. SA's CHO said they wouldn't have noticed their outbreak for another 2-3 weeks without it.

SA premier showed the country the difference between a competent and an incompetent leader

No deaths and knocked it on its head. Ooh yes and no lies

I bet some of you had already factored in a second wave, but forgot the critical element of someone actually knowing what they are doing who used the best possible resources 👍 unlike the bloke who cost 800 deaths
