What does that mean 81?

It means I have long term ongoing health complications as a result of COVID.

This thing has had a profound impact on my life and the worry is I'll never be the same again. It's great Australia has escaped relatively unscathed compared to many other countries but the downside to that is most people here don't realise how debilitating this disease can be if you're unlucky enough to have got it.

Are you comfortable letting us know how it affects you 1981? So sorry to hear the impact it is having on your life.

 

[Ninja Worrier]

The P1 strain out of Brazil sounds like a worry too... we're in this for the long haul vaccine or not

Good luck with your recovery, thanks for sharing.

Too often we believe the problem is out there somewhere and it isn’t until it effects someone we know that it hits home.

Hope people don’t become complacent and this should be a timely warning to take it seriously

Take care 81. Wishing you the best for a full recovery in the fullness of time. Keep safe everyone.

Thanks everyone. The concern I have is when I am older if I still have these issues it could become a serious issue. That's the sort of thing most people don't think about RE Covid. The deeper, long term implications. How it'll affect one in 10 to 20 years.

Victoria reintroduces restrictions after hotel quarantine worker contracts coronavirus

Victoria reintroduces mandatory mask rules, reduces the cap on visitors in homes and pauses an increase on the number of people allowed in offices after a hotel quarantine worker contracts COVID-19.

www.abc.net.au

Victoria has reintroduced mandatory mask rules, reduced the number of people allowed in homes and paused an increase on the number of people allowed in offices after a hotel quarantine worker contracted COVID-19.
From 11:59pm on Wednesday, private gatherings will be limited to 15 people and masks will become mandatory in indoor settings.

It follows the diagnosis of a 26-year-old hotel quarantine worker, who had been serving as a resident support officer as part of the Australian Open quarantine program.

This thing is not going away, and is evolving. Be safe folks.

Stay safe Melb.

Although this could have happened at any HQ, I think the Australian open was an unnecessary risk to the community

And i'm back to wearing my mask in the office.

Love the tennis but I tend to agree.

Having said that, I think we've now got the structures in place to control things, and the reality is this probably could have happened with any incoming traveller.

And i'm back to wearing my mask in the office.

And I'm back to not thinking about going into the office.

Haven't been to the office since late March.

If they'd asked us..
Do you want A.O or greater chance of attending AFL what would Victorians have voted for I wonder.

I do not wish to be that guy (harbinger of bad news) but sadly I feel like we in Victoria are going to be locked out of the footy again (certainly for the early rounds of the season at least) due to the latest worrying outbreak that resulted from the Aus Open Quarantine Shemozzle, which according to latest reports, is a carrier of the more new and deadlier UK strain.

And even if fans are allowed into the season opener, the crowd capacity will be capped at something like 10 K (for both clubs)

It sucks, but I am really worried about the new strain that has broken out here (which has yet to spread but it will) and I think we could potentially be back to at least stage 3 lockdown by the end of the month.

Obviously I am taking worst case scenario here, but i am very very worried friends.
