Hotels were not built for quarantine, and its clear that health officials across all major states are struggling to contain the leaks. Makes sense you would take some burden off the system until you get it right. Unless of course we just accept to live with the virus, which we won't.

Europe has been travelling pretty well although the UK has started to climb again the last two weeks with a 10dA of 28,279 which is above the 90th percentile of 26,798 while the only other country above the 90th percentile is Spain although the 10dA of 13,745 is below the 90th percentile of 16,872 but will pass it again shortly.
South America is also mostly good news with only Colombia (well) above the 90th percentile with a 10dA of 25,855 and a 90th percentile of 19,984. Not so good in North America despite the USA having a big drop in case averages - currently 16,768 against a 90th percentile of 184k there are some other countries going the wrong way: Cuba has a 10dA of 3,680 cases / day (and several new records) which is above the 90th percentile of 1,172 and case numbers have been steadily climbing since early-June when the 10dA was only 1,191. Guatemala has a 10dA of 2,163 cases / day which is above the 90th percentile of 1,335 and case numbers have been steadily climbing since mid-May when the 10dA was only 900. Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Honduras are all above the 90th percentile as well but not by such big margins. On the plus side: Argentina (17,984 / 23,690); Brazil - finally (50,719 / 75,822) but still too high; Bolivia (1,556 / 2,156); Chile (2,862 / 6,727); Ecuador (958 / 1,907); Paraguay (1,450 / 2,278); Peru (2,462 / 7,990) and Uruguay (772 / 2,827) have all made significant inroads.

.. and then there is Africa. It's the worst of the continents over the last few weeks but a drill-down makes it easy to see why.
South Africa has a 10dA of 20,322 cases / day (and two new records) which is above the 90th percentile of 12,634 and case numbers have been steadily climbing since early-May when the 10dA was only 1,177. Namibia has a 10dA of 1,382 cases / day which is above the 90th percentile of 455 and case numbers have been steadily climbing since late-May when the 10dA was only 263. Tunisia has a 10dA of 6,755 cases / day which is above the 90th percentile of 2,180 and case numbers have been steadily climbing since early-May when the 10dA was only 900. Mozambique has a 10dA of 1,042 cases / day (and a new high) which is above the 90th percentile of 599 and case numbers have been steadily climbing since late-May when the 10dA was only 21. Zambia has a 10dA of 2,034 cases / day which is above the 90th percentile of 1,231 and case numbers have been steadily climbing since late-May when the 10dA was only 275. Zimbabwe has a 10dA of 1,653 cases / day (and two new records) which is well above the 90th percentile of 355 and case numbers have been steadily climbing since mid-May when the 10dA was only 15. Although not as bad, Uganda, Algeria, Senegal and Libya are all above the 90th percentile while only: Morocco (925 / 3,255) although it is creeping up; Egypt (183 / 1,190); Kenya (437 / 958); Angola (110 / 212); Mauritania (75 / 126); Madagascar (18 / 257); Cabo Verde (40 / 137) and Ghana (147 / 532) are travelling well.

https://www.9news.com.au/national/lo...8-9bbbadfc514b As a side point to Sydney’s current new regs, the exercise within your LGA or no more than 10km from your home has me puzzled. Nowhere official can I find which is the overarching constraint if your LGA is small. |

govco are banging on about face masks, because airbourne transmission rated the most dangerous, but surface contact is no. two, and not one word about that.
i hear the germ can live for 24h on a surface, is this true? Last edited by Pis-ton broke; 10-07-2021 at 10:35 PM. |

How are the regional folks feeling? Apparently sewage samples being taken multiple times a day to monitor for any unreported cases, but border closure seems inevitable. Last count 17,000 red permits approved into Vic, more to come with school holidays finishing up.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT July 10th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 64 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 2.934%. No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.940% and active cases 32. The UK had a lower 31,800 cases yesterday and higher 35 deaths for a CMR of 2.523%. A higher 27,808 new cases in the USA yesterday and lower 374 deaths sees CMR at 1.794%. Other notable points: (weekend reporting) Global cases pass 187M, the last 1M in 2 days; Brazil passes 19M cases; South Korea (1,378); Vietnam (1,853); Kazakhstan (3,130); Myanmar (4,377) - the 7th consecutive day; Cuba (6,750); Thailand (9,326); and Malaysia (9,353); ... all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. The Netherlands move above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period while no countries drop below.

if everyone wore masks, you'd have less of both airborne AND surface transmission. but everyone carries on they're an emphysema patient on their last legs at the prospect of wearing masks. and the moment there's a lockdown called, despite previously everyone happy to sit on their couches, I'm seeing people suddenly out training for the Tokyo olympic walking race. have never seen so many people out walking. |

Here's a scenario using your face mask. You go to the shops and grab your face mask, the one that you have been using all day. So when you touch it the germs transfer from your mask to your hands. Then you walk into the shops without hand sanitising and touch a heap of things. |

Commenting on the 10km rule, a NSW Health spokeswoman said: “This means people must stay within their LGA, but they can also cross LGA borders as long as they do not travel further than 10km from their home. “This acknowledges the pragmatic reality that many people live in close proximity to LGA borders and their closest park may be in a neighbouring LGA.” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/bre...e6a74ba10f9fb8 Quote:

Your every day mask that you get from the shop, their primary goal is to reduce viral load. Someone coughs or sneezes, would you rather that person have a mask on or not? Infections through touching goods has not yet proven to be a primary source of spread I don't think? Masks + social distancing + limited movement will beat exponential growth of infections.

Yes, aware its a Laura Tingle article....but oh my word. I always thought it was rather odd Pfizer would issue an immediate statement to clarify the words of the PM.
Senior business figures turned to former PM Kevin Rudd to intervene in bringing forward Australia's Pfizer vaccine supply https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-...xecs/100284902 Quote:

Of course I am serious!...this thing travels in the air, not on people only, its on our clothes our skin its everywhere, that's how folk get sick, breathing in the particles, our body doesn't activate the virus?...the virus is already active in or out of our bodies, our pets too!
But why can't it travel by air, as a stowaway inside a cargo bay, or the wheel bay on an intercontinental airline, and spread at its destination. If folk on a flight from India are all negative to Covid-19 then we get sick folk all over the city they land in, where/how did it travel!...on the plane that brought em here. I know my ideas seem odd, but this virus is beyond odd or strange, maybe we need to think/ look at it more simply, I reckon a forum like this has as much chance of working it out as a bunch of so called "scientific experts" Cheers King Billy ![]() |

As most large aircraft open the wheel wells about 8k out the little buggers would be scattering themselves all over the metro flight paths 8 kms before the plane has landed. Then you multiply that by the air traffic worldwide and the theory tends to look a little fragile. ![]()

I was expecting this announcement tomorrow. Recommendation to advance the second dose of Astra Zeneca for those who are chronologically enriched.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-...shot/100284500 What about next having targeted initiatives for south-west Sydney? Get a shot, get a half price triple cheese kaak? ![]() |

We are at 11% full vaccination now...
Get my second jab next week. Looking forward to it. Now that holidays are over and I'm back to 3 shifts a week in the CBD I feel I will be knowing my local Covid testing place workers by first name soon enough. How soon after exposure does it show in your system? Trying to work out my testing schedule..

What are your building’s rules for incoming casual trades and Covid testing? Aside from the mandated Covid-Safe stuff, I mean; do you ask if they’ve been tested recently or anything?
Interested because I’ve got to bring in a random for wall sawing and chasing. Would prefer to find a balance between protection and courtesy. |

* Face masks required in all common areas - staff and residents. * All recreational facilities closed. * Only essential tradespeople allowed on site arranged through Strata or Building Management. Must sign in with QR code. * Cleaning of all high contact surfaces in common areas every 2 hours. Nothing on visitors or food deliveries (and we get hundreds of both a day). Nothing mentioned regarding proof of testing. Back to work tomorrow, I will probably get filled in before my shift. I assume that cleaning will probably be changed to hourly and we will try our best to restrict visitors / food deliveries from getting past the lobby area. Now we will have compulsory check in for staff as well. We will probably set the main entry doors to swipe access only so that only residents can get into the building. See what happens.
