COVID & AFL 2021

[Macca 16,963]

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.

[Superunknown 4,217]

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?

Me reading the news today. 

Anyone else an emotional Covid wreck?

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

[Jaded No More 68,907]

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

[daisycutter 29,613]

just said on radio that attendees of carlscum, jilong game at the g to go into 14 day home isolation

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….

Dear lord, that's the loudest GIF profanity I've ever heard.

Are you suggesting our club spread Covid to Sydney?!
