Coronavirus Outbreak

Sorry to say but I think NSW is getting beyond containing it now, I think like Victoria we'll shortly be in the hundreds of cases daily.

You could be right

I'm actually really annoyed at people not doing the right thing, I'm supposed to be at a funeral in Rockhampton right now but decided at the last moment not to go as I had been in the Liverpool area the last 2 weekends looking to purchase a car. I decided better be safe than risk any small chance of spreading this to another state but we have people who intentionally breach the rules.

Well done mate. More should follow your example. I was going to go to the CSS match but I’m not now. Misses has family in QLD and has a visit planned shortly.

Yeah, it was a really tough decision, but the right one. I was extremely close to the person, the last time I saw her was when she and her husband travelled down to go to the Panther v Tigers game on the Thursday at Penrith last year or the year before. It was a tough day yesterday knowing I wasn't there.

Some people like you make really hard decisions like not going to a funeral. It's tough but it's right.

...And then some people just don't care. A number of people from Liverpool/Campbelltown have been stopped while trying to get into Queensland in the past 24 hours.

And here I was thinking Black lives matter cured Covid19, how silly of me.

I can’t even imagine. Condolences.

an inconvenient truth for chairman Don Tzse!
'Victorian health authorities have confirmed a link between two COVID-19 cases in people who attended the Black Lives Matter protest in Melbourne’s CBD just over a month ago, and the cluster of at least 242 cases in public housing towers in the city’s inner northwest.'

Well what a convenient narrative......

Well what a convenient narrative…

It may well be true. The decision to hold the BLM march was irresponsible.

But, I've only seen this report in The Australian and I just don't trust the Murdoch press. It is a well known manipulator of the news to further it's owner's particular political ideologies.

The last report I heard from The Vic Dept of Health (Prof. Brett Sutton) was that the genome of the viruses tested to date
all relate to the quarantine outbreak and that this particular genome wasn't present in Australia at the time of the BLM marches. I haven't heard any update on that advice.

So, as I say, it may be true but personally I'll wait to hear it from the Health Dept or from a more reliable news source than Rupert's empire.

Reading the tea leaves is a more reliable media source than murdochs empire.It is trash at the best of times

Yes ABC and Sydney Morning herald is much better lol

The interesting thing about The Australian article is that it is probably 100% accurate whilst at the same time possibly being totally misleading.

I'm sure that most people who read that article will think that these irresponsible people went to the BLM march, caught Covid 19 and then spread it through this Melbourne tower block. But of course the article doesn't say that. It says this:

"Health authorities have confirmed a link between two COVID-19 cases in people who attended the Black Lives Matter protest in Melbourne and the public housing tower cluster."

So, some people who went to the BLM march ultimately contracted Covid 19 somewhere and they live in, or are linked to people who live in, the Melbourne tower block.

Now, I can't get through the pay wall to see if that article contains anything more specific but if anyone here can, I'm quite happy to be corrected.

In the meantime I'll rely on the statements made by Prof. Brett Sutton that the genome of the virus detected in this latest outbreak was not present in Australia at the time of the BLM march.

No ambiguity in that statement.

You can sneer at both of those organisations if you like however both criticize all sides of politics unlike mudochs media empire.

It is being reported more widely, all the same story vaguely stating... "Health officials confirm.."

everyone needs competition and ABC and SMH gives that however they are very left leaning have been for a long long time. Same as Murdoch is very right leaning.

This is from the Daily Telegraph (also a Murdoch paper):

"It comes as two protesters who attended the Black Lives Matter rally have had their COVID-19 cases linked to the outbreak in Melbourne’s public housing towers.

Health authorities have confirmed the link without saying if the protesters lived, visited or were close contacts of those in the towers, The Australian reports.

The public housing cluster has seen at least 242 cases.

Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton previously said it was unlikely the protesters caught the virus at the rally in Melbourne’s CBD which was attended by 10,000 people on June 6.

The link does not necessarily mean the protesters were the original source of the public housing tower outbreak, which is the state’s largest cluster to date."

So, a bit more truthful (unusual for the Tele, but there you go). The incubation period of the virus is normally up to about 14 days. The BLM march was on June 6.

A Melbourne man attending an head office party is most likely patient zero of the cross roads hotel outbreak.

I don't get how several big towers with many apartments can have so many people all get sick.

Is it shared living, where they share kitchens and such? If they are self-contained units, then I would have thought a lot of people would normally not have much to do with their neighbours.

Did it get into the ventilation or something?

I believe they have shared laundries?
