Should have closed the border earlier but the governments wait until the proverbial hits the fan

Mind you, the truckies probably get exemptions so Covid finds a way in somehow

And the truckie in question may not have been showing any signs of the infection and then tested positive later on

    Exactly how I read the report Macca. He had all the required paper work etc. Probably thought he was fine.That’s is the thing with this virus people who have contracted it feel fine in early stages when they are infectious. 
    You would almost think it was designed this way for maximum affect!!!!!!!!!

    would be amazing if Vic escapes another outbreak between now and September.

     

    As sure as night follows day, Jim.

    I was at a small gathering over the weekend, mostly people I didn't know. The woman next to me mentioned her husband works in the transport industry and just got back from Sydney. I asked why she wasn't at home isolating with him. The reply was that they were exempt from isolating and testing because he works in the transport industry, as if that is some sort of COVID barrier!

    Go figure.

    I got tested the next morning, of course.

    Here we go again NSW has just announced AZ fine for anyone over 40. I wonder why the vaccination centres are not being rushed.

    Honestly we are being lead by idiots on many levels. 

    That is not what was said, OD.

    Kerry Chant was very clear - go speak to your GP and if you are cognisant of the risk, and are comfortable with AZ, then go get it.

    The medical advice from ATAGI has not changed.

    Perhaps she wasn't from a hotspot or exposure site?

    The border rules changed at 11.59AM 11/7/21.


    It might be interesting to contemplate whether the Big Show needs to head up north to QLD. At present, both NSW teams and Vic teams can get to QLD, along with SA and WA, IIRC.

    So as to have crowds/gate...depends how the leak into Vic goes.

    Thise rules were for all of NSW. Sydney has been a red zone for considerably longer than that.

    2 new cases in Vic from people coming back from NSW who inexplicably did not quarantine

    we'll be in lockdown in a week

    FMD

    why were they not required to isolate?  so they tested negative? who cares? they are positive now. still isolate FFS.  this is too serious to not take every precaution

    They were in quarantine at home, as per their red zone permit, according to numerous media sites.

    But were they? I don’t  necessarily mean these particular people, but the many who are being trusted to do the right thing while quarantining at home. It’s painfully clear that while the majority do the right thing, there will always be a percentage who don’t.

    Maybe they are one of those amazing people, like those in NSW, who were in ‘partial isolation’.

    You know, they were at home, unless they went out. Obviously.

    ?‍♂️

    They were at home when they weren’t out shopping with their list of necessities like bed frames in IKEA, cushions in Kmart and gym leggings in Bondi.

    8 new cases in Victoria ... hot spots includes the MCC reserve at the MCG (Carlton vs Geelong)

    So, logically, you’d have to think a hard 6 week lockdown for anyone who barracks for either of those 2 teams is the only solution.

    It’s for the good of the nation.

    This is going back a few weeks, the Western Bulldogs official that was at  Highpoint, was he in the shop at the same time as the person that tested positive?

    No surprise. It was only a matter of time. The only surprise is that it took a day or two longer than I expected. 

    Just when you thought the Geelong Carlton game couldn't get any worse for your health...

    Interesting to see what's going to happen if the NT closes the border with Victoria before Saturday.

    It's a tier 2 site. Level 2 MCC Members.

    Tier 2 means you need to get tested immediately and isolate until you get a negative result.

    So if anyone on Demonland was at that game, shame on you for wasting your precious life, but also, go get tested!

    So the article I found read “Western bulldog official was in Highpoint during exposure period”. Didn’t specify which shop but I’m sure I heard on the radio at the time he was in the same shop. Then he interacts with the playing group, the playing then plays the Dees, the Dees then travel to Sydney and play the Lions in Sydney, all of this happens inside a two week period….

    Are you suggesting our club spread Covid to Sydney?!

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
