On its last bounce that ball goes a little more Mackays way and its entirely likely he takes clean possession and is either tackled or passes Clarke with little or no contact and you think he should slow down beforehand?

Yes but in this case the information they had indicated potential exponential community exposure to hundreds of people. I know I wouldn't want to be wrong and not lock everything down.

The question can also be asked - without real evidence of close contact exposure is it correct not to shut down the economy? Both views are correct in their own way but only one of them does the job of protecting the community adequately with the information at hand at the time

Yeah agree. I guess the exposure was pretty unlucky if it is a simple innocent error as suggested. Not having direct face to face contact is a unlikely source of contracting the virus

I would expect if they hadnt had physical contact with a quarentining guest being a cleaner they had contact with the linen or waste, they are the most obvious points. There would have been some sort of failure by that person to correctly remove ppe or sanitise after handling... Edit - or the...

On the surface yes but he was tested along with every other worker on the Monday and was the only positive and had absolutely no contact with the quarantined guests or their waste.

He was tested because he was working in a medi-hotel on Monday when all staff were instructed to have tests. He hadnt had a test as a result of being identified as a close contact

I think you would find that the price wouldn't change even if you could opt out of the catering. The hotels cannot sell rooms to the public, nor have functions, run any bar or resturants that cannot be accessed solely from the street whilst hosting returning internationals and so would require...

Why should Port be disadvantaged? Every fixture since the VFL expanded beyond 12 teams has been unfair so regardless of whether they benifited or not from the days break differentials during the H&A season this year is immaterial. Where possible, there is no reason a side finishing in the...

If Karen feels bad because she is being called Karen because she is being unfairly stereotyped then she has a right to be aggrieved. However that does not make the term racist in of itself, which seems to be the point some are arguing. The term is not really different to any other label...

You do understand that for it to be racist it needs to be used by a person that is not white? It doesnt matter if the origin of the term came from black people. A white person calling someone a Karen is about as far from racist as you can get and simply put that is by far and away the most...

Lol

Whilst I quite like reducing rotations and even removing a couple of players per side on the ground surely the first step is to protect the ball winner. Ping holding the man and high first foremost - make sure the tackler gets it right otherwise they cough up the free. Once the ball winner...

Maybe but if the information we get is skewed, misleading or confusing we arent really making an informed decision are we. There is precious little fact based reporting these days its mostly interpretation or opinion based. Btw I never said our governments control the narrative, they try but...

We may have more access to different points of view but that does not mean we are better informed or that narratives are not controlled by a few. My main objection is that there seems to be an assumption here that what we are told by our media is correct and other sources are completely wrong...
