I thought that traffic would be significantly minimised with stage 4 restrictions but it actually took me longer than it normally would.

I still reckon it was quieter on the streets in March when all this starting.

Looking for someone/something to blame for the Hotel quarantine stuff-up?


https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/australia/coronavirus-australia-live-victoria-qld-nsw-covid19-updates/live-coverage/6112b8febb0cf51b6b5a73b74257af04



Authorities are hesitant to tighten restrictions in NSW, but experts warn the state's COVID numbers could rise exponentially.
A nurse who reportedly worked at Melbourne's quarantine hotels says those in charge of the program were more worried about appeasing guests than infection control.


The nurse, who did not want to be named, told the ABC that some guests were given extra “fresh air” breaks and took advantage of the increasingly relaxed system, threatening to self-harm if they were not given allowances to leave their rooms.


She said a suspected suicide during the first two weeks of hotel quarantine may have unnerved the Department of Health and Human Services.


The suspected suicide is being investigated by the coroner.


“They were just trying to fix guests’ anxiety, and as a result (staff) started having too many interactions with guests,” she told the ABC.

Nothing suspected about it - genuine suicide.

Friend of mine was a few rooms up. Poor prick was locked up with his wife and two kids in two rooms, no fresh air etc.

Showed me the food they were given. Enough fruit and candy bars/chips to choke an elephant, along with the hot meals. Could have opened a snack shop when they left.

More lies from Scotty from Marketing.


One has to ask why the cover-up? What are they hiding?


https://www.theage.com.au/politics/federal/federal-officials-shielded-from-ruby-princess-inquiry-20200810-p55kda.html


Federal officials will be shielded from direct scrutiny at the NSW inquiry into the Ruby Princess cruise ship amid accusations the Morrison government has failed to co-operate with the investigation.


Asked why he did not encourage the two officials to come forward and speak to the special commission, Mr Morrison said the government continued to help the inquiry.


More than 1000 cases of COVID-19 are estimated to have come from the Ruby Princess passengers who disembarked in Sydney on March 19, four days after Mr Morrison said ships would only put passengers ashore "directly under the command" of the Australian Border Force.

Another stuff-up from Scotty from Marketing.


https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-13/coronavirus-messages-translated-to-nonsense-in-other-languages/12550520


One Federal Health Department campaign aimed at encouraging Arabic speakers to wear face masks was so poorly formatted it "doesn't make sense", according to the Refugee Council of Australia's Deena Yako, a native Arabic speaker.



Another image, tweeted by the Federal Government, is supposed to tell Chinese speakers where to look for more details about the pandemic.
But the text instead translates to: "Use your language supplied information."



In June, the ABC revealed concerns about the Federal Government's handling of high-risk groups such as migrants, with community representatives telling an expert panel of doctors and politicians they were involved in Australia's COVID-19 response "on an ad-hoc basis or not at all".


The panel identified migrants and refugees as among those at a higher risk of contracting the virus and passing it on without realising, because they were more likely to have a chronic disease and miss out on important health information.

If migrants cant read english they shouldnt be here in tne first place.

Nevertheless most of them do know english they are just hiding behind the "i dont understand english line so they can break the rules. Its their fault.

Scotty from Marketing is at least good at one thing. Spin.


He apologises but then says there is nothing wrong with the Government's response.





https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-14/aged-care-royal-commission-coronavirus-pm-apologises/12558076


Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he is "deeply sorry" for failures in the aged care sector during the coronavirus crisis, but has defended the Government's overall response.


It comes amid ongoing tension between the Health Department and the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, which this week heard many of the deaths in aged care homes were preventable.

Aged care was already at tipping point, private or public.

Some of them don't contain more common viruses very well in normally circumstances.

C19 was waiting to happen.

More on the Hotel quarantine outbreak


https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/patient-zero-for-victoria-s-second-wave-was-not-a-security-guard-20200813-p55li3.html



Patient zero in Victoria's calamitous second wave of COVID-19 was not a badly behaved security guard but a night duty manager at the Rydges hotel on Swanston Street, one of Melbourne's busiest quarantine hotels.


Leaked emails show the night manager reported on Monday, May 25, that he had come down with a fever, and late on the afternoon of the following day Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions officials were told the hotel employee had tested positive. It is presumed he caught it from a returned traveller, who has not been identified.

So maybe Dan Andrews not as guilty as some would try to make out.

Stupid comment from the Victorian Health Minister.


If she has been unlucky what about all the people that have died?


https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/i-ve-been-unlucky-health-minister-feels-the-heat-20200814-p55lux.html



Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos considers herself unlucky.


"I’ve been unlucky enough to land a one-in-a-100 year global pandemic during my time as Health Minister," she said.

and now the truth

Other staff and security guards were sent home immediately to isolate but it was too late, with five guards testing positive and spreading the virus to their families.

even the good ol abc want a peace of the failures of the andrews quarantine hotel
