Corona virus, Port and the AFL. Part 3.

This isn’t fully correct. That $136B includes intangible costs such as loss of life, pain and suffering and premature mortality. In realised costs it’s more like $19B. Also since 2016 smoking has decreased from 12.8% in adults to 11.6% in 2019 so the actual impact is decreasing year on year too. Also in 2020 FY tobacco tax contributed $17.4B

The tax raised is pretty much on par with attributable impact costs, of course not all the money goes where it should & is passed on to the tax payer with ridiculous information by way of 'intangible costs'.

Dan’s #1 fanboi due shortly to blame the feds for Danny boys latest **** up.

This will be despite the well known fact that all states accepted responsibility for their own quarantine programs with federal support including the ADF.

Hey government, buy me a home gym and access to a PT and time off work and someone to babysit so I can fit in a dozen hours of dedicated exercise a week.

"The Noble Park man last worked at the Grand Hyatt on January 29 and returned a negative test after the end of that shift but later developed symptoms."

Perhaps you misread this?

Yes I did, I corrected the error. It is yet to be officially confirmed that this is the UK variant and that it is anyway connected to the Australian Open quarantine.

Daniel Andrews did say this though,

'...between 500 and 600 Australian Open players or officials and others are considered casual contacts and will be forced to isolate until they test negative.
... at this stage, there’s no impact to the tournament proper'.

Daniel Andrews has himself between a rock and a hard place on this. He pushed for the Australian Open so he has to minimise the impact on the event but he cannot be seen to be putting the public at risk while it is on. If you are going to insist on face masks indoors then you have to insist on social distancing at a major sporting event and that will impact on crowd numbers.

This is ******* NAMBLA logic.

The North American Marlon Brando Lookalikes Association?

Next you'll be saying the COVID-19 vaccine killed Kenny.

 

[raptalia]

Am I correct in assuming that QR code contact tracing is not compulsory in Victoria?

Businesses can choose to opt in?

You bastards!

 

[pastmyprimus]

Let's hope the virus doesn't get out into the Vic community. If it does heaven help the aged care facilities. The Feds did practically nothing to protect them last time, and that's their job. The Colbeck count is 652 deaths.

Yes, I think that's right. I was quite impressed the last time I was in SA. I had to "check-in" each time I entered a cafe/supermarket/clothing store etc etc

New Check-In System For Businesses Across Victoria | Premier of Victoria

Victorian business owners across the state can now access a free QR Code Service which will help make things easy as we continue our economic recovery. The Victorian Government’s QR Code Service can be used by businesses and venues to keep records of visitors to help us stay safe and stay open...

www.premier.vic.gov.au

"In Victoria, some businesses, workplaces and premises must request that each person who attends the premise for more than 15 minutes provide their first name and phone number.

For smaller hospitality venues with a density limit of one person for every two square metres – up to 50 customers – QR code record keeping is now mandatory. All businesses and venues are still required to have pen and paper record keeping on hand as an ultimate backup, if a visitor prefers to not use the QR code method."

Dan was golfing eh

 

[Lagooner]

30 minutes of drinking then a kebab?

That’s weird.

It’s pretty good shit. I worked on that side of town for about 4 years and used to go to that place on my break every now and then. Large HSP FTW.

 

[Papa G]

Will laugh hard if they are forced to shut down the Aus Open. Hard.

 

[Lagooner]

Seriously how many more quarantine workers need to get infected before we go bush?

 

[TeeKray]

I don't understand why they don't just make the vaccination compulsory. We live in a world where the government will lock you in your house for months, force you to shut your business to go on the dole and prevent you from visiting dying family members in hospital ... but let's not take away someone's freedom to choose whether to be vaccinated or not.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

The Feds should use the Qld islands as medi hotels. Including fixing up one that was closed down after a cyclone did some damage. Win/Win.

Melbourne hotel quarantine worker who caught COVID is 'a model employee', Premier Daniel Andrews says he built him from a kit.

'Positive sign': Household close contacts of Victorian quarantine worker test negative

A review of CCTV at the Grand Hyatt hotel shows the COVID-positive worker followed all the safety procedures before his infection, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says.

If they could guarantee 100% safety then this wouldn't be even an issue of debate.

But they can't, and in a world of "my body, my choice," any government who would try to push it through as mandatory will face considerable backlash.

This really is the arseh*le of the planet and despite the stories the COFFEE IS SHIT.

Dude you obviously don't hang at all the cool places that PAFC66 and one would assume based on his personality, his plethora of mates and sultry ladies hanging off him. You just don't get it man. Malbun is Grouse.

You can't leave the country.

You can't leave this state for that state on a constantly changing basis with no apparent rhyme or reason needed.

You can be locked in your house at gunpoint for days or weeks or months at a time totally on the government's whim and with no numbers or targets written into the legislation to guide when the lockdown will end.

At any time you may be prevented from visiting sick or dying family members in hospital.

Businesses are forced to close with proprietors and employees forced onto the dole.

People are forced to wear masks.

People are forced to check in via QR code everywhere they go.

And all of this is happily accepted without question by the vast majority.

But boy oh boy that backlash from a few nutters who think the vaccine isn't safe, let's not go there!

 

[JimmyBC]

No one was kept in their houses at gunpoint, the adherence to wearing masks & checking in with QR codes etc. has been casual at best & not enforced to any great level.
