Isn't this completely against all the health advice and restrictions so far? I'm not hugging the lady in front of me at the post office line, I'm not coughing, I'm not sneezing and you guessed it, I'm not directly transferring bodily fluids either... but we still line up 1.5m apart and stay facing in the same direction in order to minimise the risk and take sufficient precautions.

SARS Vaccine Could Be Stopgap Measure Against the New Coronavirus, Study Suggests
Vaccines developed, but never used, against SARS could offer hope in the search for treatments for the new coronavirus.www.discovermagazine.com
"But because there are currently no treatments for COVID-19, the authors suggest SARS vaccines could be a temporary solution. A SARS vaccine was developed in response to the 2002 outbreak, but was never sold since public health measures got the disease under control before it was ready. "
So, no.....

I'm prepared to give the heath authorities a go and if they say it was 1 person we have to go along with that. Lets all just move on and be happy it wasn't a number of players further compromising a season.

'not defined as close contacts'
The depths of utter stupidity of this DHHS/AFL decision..I'm speechless, but as others have said, nothing should surprise from the AFL, they manufacture their own reality via complicit media.
I'm sure noone else will have the virus, but the whole EFC team must quarantine for 14 days regardless. And no way Carlton should agree to play. has to be postponed, no other workplace would be acting like this, even ones that work in office cubicles without full contact of sweaty bodies.
As Gil sad, there is plenty of time to finish the season, why even walk the line here?

Just say it's *en illegal, I forbid it and police armed with assault rifles will be there to arrest anyone threatening public health by attempting to assemble.
He's real big on the danger talk today. Too *en late!

so many freaking complainers on this thread. Just thank god the AFL have taken a common sense approach to this and not closed down the whole competition. Yet for most of you on here, thats a terrible decision. BF never ceases to amaze me.

It's farcical considering the recommendations and restrictions everyone else has.

Breaking and bending the rules to suit your agenda should never be viewed as the common sense approach.

So why you so freaking upset? We get our season going along. Just be thankful. Has nothing to do with you. You will be perfectly fine.
The common sense approach would be to isolate the training group McKenna is a part of for 14 days. Like every other workplace has been subjected to. It's a horrible decision and will just lead to everyone else in the state doing what the hell they like ongoing.
