The tennis players are already here. They did their HQ and they are fine

It was a returning Australian that was supposed to be home before Christmas that was patient 0 for this.

Yeah, they're fine now, but I meant to say going ahead with the tennis was riskier than the footy or cricket.

And funnily enough they were all fine

But one person doesn't follow the rules, one time and it effects like 7 million people.

I wonder what makes it more infectious than the original but I suspect the actual answer is well above my knowledge in the field

From what I understand, the spiky bits (protein spikes) of the virus are mutated in a way that makes it easier to attach to the healthy cells. Therefore it is able to infect the host easier.

So like the punk rocker version of covid

Bubbles are ok for footy and cricket, as it's easier to keep teams together plus the players aren't from overseas. Risk is much lower.

There is a bigger risk for the tennis, as players are flying in from all over the world, and professional tennis players are some of the most entitled athletes going around and come with their own entourages.

But I agree that the Feds are the ones who need to step up and take responsibility here.

Absolutely can't be done... it is not within their scope of power

 

[Punts]

Their in bubbles . We didn't complain about footy

Mate the tennis cause this

Was a returned Australian who was supposed to be home before Christmas who brought in the nebula-whatsitcalled thing. Had nothing to do with the tennis

Very sure she was being sarcastic mate, though your point stands

I do find it more and more strange that Morrison has become more-or-less a second opinion for anything COVID.

If USA announces or implements anything its Trump/Biden front and center, if UK announces anything Boris Johnson is front and center, if France announces anything Macron is front and center.

In Australia its a premier thats front and center followed by journos asking our countries leader what his opinion is at some other press conference, like he is a random member of the public.

And your spelling like them lol. Morrison said yesterday that there will be leaks from Quarantine anywhere . But he will take no responsibility.

Poor bloke on the nebuluser is in hospital. Let’s blame the sick person for the latest hotel quarantine issue in Vic. Strangely this only happens in Vic. In Sydney restrictions have been lifted after a larger outbreak at Xmas.

Morrison gave a press conference on Friday which covered COVID. It probably didn’t make the news as Dan was updating everyone on how good a job he was doing.

 

[Olian]

It wasn't the UK variant then. And I think that because this has gone through HQ there are a lot of close contacts

Difference in the strains is 11% versus 14% in the contagious scheme of things. Not quite the end of the world.

 

[Olian]

124k have come through NSW hotel quarantine versus 36k in Vic. Why stop the majority who are healthy from coming back home?

If your that concerned though you could head over to Xmas island and lie low until this passes over.

 

[Olian]

A friend of mine who is a senior cop told me it's only spread because of a woman who used the Neperlizer or however you spell it . She was not allowed to have it and snuck it in . That is not the Premiers fault . JUST CLOSE THE BORDERS FFS

It was a man who used the nebuliser who’s now in hospital. I’d find a friend who’s a better source of info.

Sydney had a different strain.

Perth and Brisbane had this and did the same thing

Vic should never had HQ back anyway imo

I was lazy on my 80's computer , i would never yell at you

I know who my friends are , maybe follow your own advice

This arvo's presser was the usual shit show of journalists that seem to have missed the growing into an adult stage and stayed in the emotional teen stage. In the space of half an hour the same journos went from saying you're not doing enough and you've let it get out of control to why are you trying to scare the public when it is not that infectious all while demanding personal information be given out, effectively identifying individuals that have tested positive. Absolute ****ing scum, the lot of them.
