COVID & AFL 2021

Astrazenneca being thrown out in PNG

83,000 jabs in the whole of the country.

It is being reported that Shane Warne has tested positive in London.  He has had both Pfizer shots.

A reminder that no-one is 'safe'.  And no vaccine is fool proof.  Not that anyone claims they are. 

I just hope Warne is ok and that it encourages people to go and get any approved vaccine.  It is the only protection there is.

so what are the actual quarantine requirements for the team in WA.

Are they stil training etc?

I think we are allowed to train, but that is about it.

Strong chance Brisbane won’t be able to play anymore home and away games in QLD given the government just extended their lockdown. Good for us!

I think Brisbane are cooked in terms of top 4.

We'd have to go 0-3 to finish below them, provided they go 3-0.

From The AGE:

"Martin Pakula, speaking to reporters this morning, said Premier Daniel Andrews had already indicated the grand final would be played in Victoria at the MCG....

“There’s a lot of work to do. We’ve got effectively about eight weeks ’til the grand final now … so we’ve got a little bit of time, but it’s creeping up on us.”

He said it was safe to predict that the crowd measures at AFL games going forward would be “different” than it was previously, but “it is possible” crowds will return next weekend."

My hope LH is that it stops me from dying all benefits after that are a bonus. Second shot last Friday no after effects.

Well I hope the rest of the adult population is as diligent as your good self, od.

The Qld CHO is not softening her stance on AZ and 'younger' people.  Terrible advice without context on risks for and against ,especially as the ATAGI is supporting it in NSW because risks have increased.  Terrible leadership. 

Comes across as having drawn a line she (rather stubbornly in my book) is going to stick to it.  She only needs to look across the border at the number of under 60 yo who have died or are in hospital.

Next weekend as in 6/7/8 August?

The article didn't say but I assumed 6/7/8 August. 

Either way we can get to see Adelaide game at the G.

Anyone know if the Eagles are quarantined for 7 days at the moment? I assume they are since they were in Melbourne on the weekend.

I believe they are required to quarantine at home for 14 days, except training and games.  

Last week a Freo coach was stood down for leaving home several times last week.

Thanks LH. The 14 days actually makes sense. Not the pseudoscience, arbitrary 7 days of Victorian clubs.

The vaccines were never designed to prevent infection just limit the incubation period, hence reducing the symptoms. Don't see how this information is suggesting that there is no fool proof vaccine.

There is a new case in Victoria so I assume this case will have knock on effects particularly when it comes to WA.

[Demonland 70,255]

Positive case may have been out in the community in WA.

[Demonland 70,255]

No crowds for the Monday night Perth game?

[titan_uranus 24,583]

New case in WA, new case in Vic.

Stand by for more disruption...

[deeTRACted 406]

Weak positive, I guess lockdowns/no crowds will all rest on those close contact test results. 

[BDA 22,270]

Hopefully the game can go ahead without a crowd. Big stroke of luck for us if it does

A postponement would be a bad outcome

Again, 1000 to 5000 of the Grand final crowd is not hyperbole it's a significant risk.

I acknowledge things have changed, but the median death rate late last year (about half way to where we are now), was  0.27%.

For under 70s it was 0.00% to 0.31% (median 0.05%).  If anyone has current peer reviewed mutli sample studies I'd appreciate a link.

Either that is super unlucky or people who work and attend that college have learnt nothing from last year. A super spreading community if ever there was one. Unbelievable.
