These morons spread lies and misinformation with their YouTube videos that possibly caused 1, or 10, or a 100 or maybe even 1000's of people's deaths. Yet you feel sorry for them??
Sorry champ, but I don't give two ****s for these vermin, and 100% wish them the same fate they have helped spread across the USA. And I am 100% comfortable with that!

Qantas brings forward international flights to US and UK but pushes back Asian destinations
  • Optimism surrounding the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines has led Qantas to bring forward flights to the US and UK, to July 1
  • A planned restart of flights to some Asian destinations has been pushed back by four months, also to July 1
  • Flight schedules are likely to change again as airlines continue to respond to the pandemic

If you're a betting type you can make a killing on a business class airfare late next year...

No not at all, totally disagree with what they said, and what you say has no effect on them. Just if being dumb means you should die, well, this thread will suddenly have a whole lot less posts.

For someone who complains about people getting personal, you make some interesting posts. Do go on.

On the subject of gold standard contact tracing, how come NSW's reporting is different to the way other States and Territories are reporting? Are they using a different set of guidelines?

Example, NSW keeps removing locations after 14 days. Why? Do they think the location is virus free 14 day after the first known case?

Also, NSW does not report on 'Active Cases' in their daily updates?? Not even during their pressers do they mention active case numbers. I would have thought this is a vital bit of information? All other states do. You have to go digging to find that info for NSW.

BTW, last night, the original date of 22nd December reported as being the first contact date for BWS Berala was updated to 20th December. That now makes the story that a mate of the airport transport driver being case zero for the Berala cluster, null and void. The original story was that a mate of the airport worker who was infectious, visited the Berala BWS on the 22nd of December, and infected a store attendant, who infected a fellow attendant on the same day. So who is case zero for the Berala cluster then?? It definitely can't be the mate of the airport worker now. No info has been released on this so far.

Then yesterday, it was zero community cases, but there's two we'll tell you about tomorrow?? I understand the 8pm cycle, but if you are aware of the cases for that particular day at 11am the following day, then why not report it? Why wait for another 24 hours to report a case you were aware of 38 hours prior? Is it because a zero sounds better than a two?

ACT CM clarified today that we are not in hard border mode hence why they are not locking it all up on all roads. Only those from declared hotspots are not allowed except if they have an exemption which explains a lot.

So basically they said that they will mix targeted measures with RBT styles measures. If you have a NSW plate don't be surprised if you get pulled over.

He also reiterated that the federal government were very clear in September that the ADF won't be sent to patrol borders so that is on the states and territories to manage. The ADF involvement is about hotel quarantine.

The current measures are about managing quarantine. We'd take more flights if we can subject to support for hotel quarantine and providing for outbreak with the ACT.

Singapore Airlines pulled out during Covid so we have no direct flights and the only other route was Qatar and it goes via Sydney so unless they bus them down we can't take anything. More repatriation flights being planned to land in ACT.

Trying to work it out with VIC but he said basically there is only so much they can do.

You did miss a slightly important part here in that locations are removed when 14 days have passed since the last known date that a confirmed case was there. Not the first known.

I’d tell you a covid 19 joke, but you’d 99.97% not get it.

But watch out for that falling sky chicken little.

Sure some people might have other side effects. But to say “most people” is utter crap. It’s no different to cases of regular flu, where some people have lingering effects.


Just seen that jeremy clarkson had covid. But he only had minor cold symptoms, and was fine after a couple of days.

Knew that one, but NSW should include that in their daily reports. Just as everyone else are. Many won't bother digging further to find out.

How many NSW based members here check NSW Health's location list on a daily basis? How often do you check? Asking for a friend.

Also, who is case zero for BWS Berala now that the date has been revised to 20th December?

And who is case zero for the Northern Beaches?

There's rumours that it could be someone who was granted an exemption by NSW Government to travel to Sydney from the USA. They were also granted exemption from hotel quarantine to go home and quarantine. No Covid test upon arrival. Must be someone very important if they were granted all these exemptions.

Just seen some footage of a Covid ward in Egypt. They ran out of oxygen in the hospital, and all patients have died. Very confronting footage, nurses curled into ball on the floor, against walls balling their eyes out.. Very, very sad situation.

Thank goodness we in Australia have been spared this craziness. So far.

It's pretty funny all the flack that NSW is copping. They may well end up being a massive cluster **** but is not yet supported by the data.

NSW has a long way before they even catch up, let alone be worst

Let's keep things in perspective. In LA they are basically saying you're ****ed if you require oxygen since they don't have enough.

****en oxygen in the worlds richest country that they constantly tell us they have the best health system.

Hmm, the rumour I heard was that it was someone from Vic as payback for NSW people picking on Uncle Dan.


If you want 'rumours' without proof I can start more than Trump!

I wouldn’t agree with “funny” but many reactions by other states against NSW are a bit sad. I laud the Northern Territory for maintaining what seems a balance of caution and due reaction.

Here’s one situation of border inflexibility that’s pretty horrible. If you’ve been badly affected by a miscarriage, please consider not reading it.

That's the key point. The data.

As long as there's no one in charge experienced with a document shredder, we should be getting the true numbers and the true data.

For example, being honest and letting the public know that children under 12 have proven not to be carriers or transmitters of the disease.

The data says right now that VIC has 4x the amount of cases and 15+x the amount of deaths compared to NSW in totality.

Whatever is going on now is not even comparable. Chalk and cheese. It may end up being bigger but it aint at the moment. Given that it has been a huge overreaction.

OK, here is a working theory
(please note I am not an expert, so this is really just farting in the wind)


What if the nature and severity of your symptoms were ALSO dependent on the nature of initial infection ?

Vomitting, diarrhea leading to dehydration: Initial infection through food or hand to mouth (a friend had this as her only symptom, and does not believe she was close to anyone symptomatic in the preceding 2 weeks.)

loss of sense of smell/Taste : inhaling through nose or hand to nose

Lung issues : deep inhalation (singing exercising)

This is really difficult to hear. If you think we had it hard, the lock down there will be 100 more severe mentally. A lot of people in the city areas live in pigeon hole style apartments. Some of the places there are effectively just bedrooms with no lounge or yard. There are A LOT of places like that and I can't imagine what it'd be like. I still keep in close contact with a lot of friends in London and they are really struggling.

What proof is there of under 12 not being carriers?

Does Covid-19 know that it is sitting on top of a 12 year old's hand?
