For crowded areas such as shopping centres, large retailers (Bunnings for example), public transport, etc. it should be mandatory. They have the highest risk of spread. I'm not a fan of masks either, but I understand the need to wear one in places as I've mentioned above. As is the case in VIC. And VIC's don't have to wear a mask in places where it's not as crowded, like in smaller retailers. I wouldn't trust that NSW is currently Covid free in the community. What is it now.. only 15 days without a local case? Yeah right. Cannot be trusted. The testing numbers have dropped off dramatically for a state just getting to the other side. Seems like a lot of NSW has adapted the 'if you don't test you don't get cases' that some Covidiot sprouted a while back. I'm betting the Northern Beaches cluster won't be the last outbreak NSW has. The odds are pretty good for another cluster to pop up out of nowhere. |

There is a time for political tit for tat, but less than 24 hours into a new outbreak is probably not it. In fact, its just plain nasty. Also, how he can claim WA's strategy is pointless is beyond me. It is their 1st community case in 10 months. Their economy is humming, and they have been living with probably the least restrictions of any state. Lets hope they can get it under control. They have some pretty vulnerable communities to protect. |

Disgusting, Mr Andrews. What’s the problem with a rolling review? The regulations will otherwise become a creeping tool of suppression in all forms.
And in WA, exactly what I suspected (and hinted at) with the infected person. Two jobs, one of which (was?) a “ride share” driver. The number of visits to petrol stations was a clue. With that level of upfront honesty about what they were doing, I honestly wonder if they were driving on their own ride share ticket. |

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT February 1st, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 12 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.154%. -2 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.085% and active cases 71. The UK had 18,607 cases yesterday and 388 deaths. Just under 126k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,916 deaths sees CMR still at 1.689%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Asia passes 23M cases. No countries ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

The Federal Government can also declare a human biosecurity emergency across Australia, invoking strong powers to manage a public health risk for a period of time, and it too can extend this indefinitely if the health minister considers it necessary. Maria O'Sullivan, a senior law lecturer at Monash University, told RMIT ABC Fact Check that Victoria's hard limit on the maximum period of a state of emergency provided "accountability and transparency". "It became a focus of media attention because that required the Parliament to sit and debate it," she said. "But other jurisdictions, including the Commonwealth, are able to extend their state of emergency declaration without such scrutiny because their legislation allows it." |

so with impending lock down and rules coming in to place , it is better to be implementing the rules earlier , right like face masks , only going out for essentials until they have to right ? so Mr_G6TE if you want then to do better , my point (if you realy didnt know from your first reply on mine) was why didnt you like it why not leave immediately rather than half an hr putting up with the covidiots being at home has to be safer that wearing a mask in all this like the lock down , no sooner i saw the chaos i turned and left its better as Tickford put it to implement it earlier , is it not and they were essentials (important or necessary) seeing even though youd have heaps stocked up , as Quote:

and DMing me with something more about how you personally feel about me and the other forum member Crazy Dazz as for me and my milk/bread issue im going to put up with out for the week as i dont see it essential enough to get , so i go with out my breakfast for the week and have black coffee as for your DM i think you need to look at your self it the manor you mention

This may be a good time to mention the sites T&C's, especially #3.
"3. Posts that are disrespectful or insulting to another forum member. Remember that everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as it is expressed in a reasoned manner." This rule also applies in PM's I haven't had the stress of being in a lock down, but I imagine that's it's difficult enough without petty bickering on a car forum.

So what is the general consensus in Australia on asymptomatic transfer of covid-19 ?
I have seen two studies One said the rate of transfer was 1% for asymptomatic, and 6% for symptomatic, pre-symptomatic were 7% (Dec-July I am not sure but it looks like they studied only 1000 cases) "Defining the role of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 transmission - a living systematic review" The other said the rate of transfer was 0.7% for asymptomatic, and 28% for symptomatic, I assume pre-symptomatic were included in one of these two figures. (Dec-Oct, over 77000 cases studied, analysis of those in the same household). "Household Transmission of SARS-C0V-2: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis" This implies that, unless I am reading this incorrectly, people with asymptomatic covid-19 are somewhere between 1/6th and 1/30th as contagious as those with symptoms (- likely closer to the smaller figure). |

So the bigger issue brewing are the legalities of the jab...this one is going to be a doozey.
On a personal level I will wait it out as long as I can, but the time will come when I am sure work will push it or I will want to travel. In that case I will comply. Will be interesting to see how it plays out for those who "cant" due to other medical issues... We are lucky in that we can sit it out for a bit longer than other countries.

No Sir Tom died with Covid-19.
If the UK had dealt with the pandemic; better, earlier Sir Tom may still be with us. The internet is full of conspiracy theories that the death toll from Covid-19 is over stated and only old people with one foot in the grave die. This particular burden on society raised 60 million pounds for charity and earned himself a knighthood in his 99th year. Sir Tom also raised the spirits of many in his country in a time of deep despair. Not bad for someone who was going to die anyway. RIP Sir Tom.

Lockdown, irrespective of how much or how long, can be stressful and people's trigger points can be different. Just because someone has anxiety/stress issues during a lockdown that is not as prolonged as someone else's, doesn't make it any less relevant. Let's all be kind and considerate of those who are going through lockdown, no matter how long they've been subject to it. ![]()
