Corona virus, Port and the AFL. Part 2.

The WA border is open one way at the moment, so you can bring them in, but not send them back without issues.

We've been told that will change by the time we do our first event in two weeks.

Victoria has racked up 21 cases today.

Of these 15 are returned travelers.

Victoria records biggest COVID-19 spike in 33 days, majority being returned travellers

Victoria has recorded 21 new cases of coronavirus, the biggest daily increase in more than a month. Health...

A few days back one of our number was arguing for the lifting of international border restrictions. Those 15 positive cases provide conclusive evidence as to why Australia cannot open it's international borders anytime soon.

How many people are travelling while sick?

Gladys is a bit upset, she wants to know why NSW isn't included in the lifting of SA's border restrictions.

Do South Australians travelling to WA, Tas or ACT still have to quarantine on their return?

As I understand it entering SA from those States and Territories is not a problem. The problem is as things stand you will need to quarantine when you arrive in WA, Tas or ACT as they have not opened their borders to travelers from SA. This may very quickly change of course.

We are waiting on Tas, WA, NT Governments to reciprocate.

I reckon anyone overseas with symptoms would be stupid not to get back to OZ where the health system is not overloaded. For that reason I think quite a few people would be traveling with symptoms. The airlines tell us the virus is not transmitted in flight but I doubt that and I think some healthy people are infected on the flight.

Are all the international flights coming into Melbourne these days because Sydney and Brisbane do not seem to be getting any quarantine cases.

Maybe Melbourne has more 5G towers?

Catholic priests receiving JobKeeper double their stipend, so the church asks for the extra cash

ABC Investigations obtains letters sent to priests that ask them to hand back some of the money from JobKeeper to help make up for a plunge in donations from parishioners.

Unbelievable, JobKeeper has more holes in it than the Cows defence.

How many people are travelling while sick?

About 400 odd from Thailand over the past couple of weeks. Wouldn’t be tested before getting here and probably no idea they were likely to become ill.

Word is that SA/QLD border may be opened as early as tomorrow meaning we will be able to fly in, fly out for our “hub” games and won’t be required to stay up there for any extended period of time.

Crowds allowed as well. So how can we get a ticket? The locals won't want to go to Port VS freo at metricon lol

Both ways no quarantine?? We have a FNQ holiday booked mid July so not sure if we will be able to go or not.

 

[Jojay]

Oh dear...

 

[Doctor Feel]

Oh dear...

Nice to see a premier give a shit tbh.

 

[Doctor Feel]

If borders are open it's not too late to abandon the hub idea. As we should.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Oh dear...

Idiot

No, but at this stage SA travellers have to quarantine in those jurisdictions first for 14 days before doing other stuff.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Oh dear...

Yeah why? You can't have close corrupt mates and lick the AFL's arse like you can in Victoria.

 

[manureid]

I am doing the worse job of any state in Australia, I have corrupt people working for me.... Quick, look over there!!!

 

[Hodges 153!]

Curious as to why, a week or so ago, the fencing and 24/7 Police guard went back up at the Pullman Hotel corner of Hindmarsh Square.

Did another large batch of quaranteeners land, that we havent heard about?

Wasn't that where AFL umpires and officials and 7's broadcast employees quarantined?

 

[Hodges 153!]

Not sure REH, but i reckon the fence would have gone up after their arrival.

Assume it is for the Singapore airlines flights that have started up ( and others planned).

To be clear, I wasn't having a go at Marshall.

"I don't want to be offensive to South Australians but why would you want to go there?" he said.

but your comment is offensive and only an idiot would assume that it is not.
