I can't remember the stage in the last quarter, but it was reasonably early, but they definitely put the cue in the rack. Whether it was effort or exhaustion, they absolutely gave up.

Which was exactly the problem last year with stopping flights from China when the virus has already seeded into Europe and the US.

MD, no-one is accusing you of eating s**t sandwiches, that would be gross. The point is they did, 26 people died in Newmarch. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32206-6/fulltext I haven't voted Labour in a very long time, not that that is any of your business...

Talking about the Feds on that one, MD.:)

The fines and jail time are mandated as part of the Biosecurity Act, it's discretionary as to whether they are applied or not. You haven't addressed why you're not similarly outraged about other returned travellers from hotspots, nor about the fact (or should that be FACT) that the Wollert case...

I wish that were true, I honestly think they're just incompetent.

One would think we should have a Royal Commission, or some such thing, into the whole schemozzle.

29 facilities in Victoria haven't even had their first jab yet. I struggle to comprehend how Richard Colbeck still has his job as Aged Care Minister, his incompetence know no bounds, even Ned Guy got the flick. Anyhoo Go Dogs!

Of course you do, what a ridiculous statement.

My understanding that the player who attended would have to get tested and quarantine for 14 days. His contacts (the rest of the team) would need to get tested and isolate until they receive a negative result. Happy to be wrong.

And neither Essendon nor Collingwood made the GF in those years, let's hope we are third time lucky!

No, as others have said, it does reduce the viral load and therefore the symptoms that cause transmission such as sneezing and coughing. You are right that the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting Covid but it does prevent severe Covid and hugely decreases transmission.

We shall see, I'd like to think that our game style would be rewarded. Brett Ratten is no Al Clarkson.
