Lolie posted:The news out of the Victorian press conference isn't good so everyone needs to get tested if they have symptoms and get jabbed as soon as they're eligible. There's no way this isn't turning into a month-long thing at the very least, I reckon. They're downplaying the severity of the viral load in this go-round with how good the contact tracing has been for locating potential infectees (and it has been good, let's be fair), but it can take up to two weeks for people to start presenting symptoms and I'm expecting a whole bunch to pop at once at some point in the coming week.

The big problem is that multiple cases have now been tracked to the exposure sites, confirming that this strain is more easily transmitted. The list of exposure sites is going to keep expanding. We, as a population, are not nearly as angry about the repeated clusterfucks as we should be and right now we should be demanding answers about the secret contracts which were awarded to private contractors to deliver onsite vaccination to aged care and disability care facilities. We should be enraged, and we're not.

The new brief today has been cases from "fleeting" contact, so it's exactly this by the sounds of it. On the "plus" side it should hopefully put a bullet in companies taking away work from home again, because those existing COVID policies are fuuuucked if even a brief encounter will pass it on.

Lolie posted:The Guardian is reporting that some of the walk in vaccination hubs in Victoria have a 3 hour wait time. I was so lucky when I got my test, less than an hour and a half sitting in the car waiting. Also, after almost a year and a half not getting sick in the slightest because of masks and sanitising*, apparently my immune system has turned to wet tissue paper. I'm currently on day 5 of the worst flu of my life and still sick as a goddamn god. * which was pretty loving nice, gotta say.

I may need to drive from Canberra to Adelaide in late June, I'm trying to plot a route that avoids the dreaded infected Victoria. So far I have: Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 2601 to Adelaide, South Australia: 12 HR 35 Min Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 2601 to Buronga, New South Wales to Lake Victoria, Rufus NSW 2648 to Renmark, South Australia 5341 to Adelaide, South Australia: 14 HR 2 Min As long as I stay out of the river and don't accidentally turn into Mildura I should be fine.

Dress like an idiot and ask at the counter to sign the movie-reviewer sheet. Then sign as some random on the list that probably won't go like 'Editor of lovely Newspaper's Guest'. I worked for one media outlet and would sign as a dickhead I knew form a rival paper. Even though I had $1 tickets with my super secret expired staff card from AHL.

Oh good what will likely be a ~Fleeting Contact~ covid variant decided to hit up NSW. I'm sure nothing bad will come of this. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-01/jervis-bay-and-goulburn-on-alert-melbourne-covid-19-case/100183084 If you're in a state that has a covid outbreak, and you flee to another state to avoid going into lockdown, you might just be a massive oval office.

It's precisely why Victoria locks down everything when we go into lockdown; There's always a bunch who try to skip out on it thinking they'll be fine hunkering down at their holiday home down in Mornington, or out at a holiday location somewhere away from the coast. And take COVID with them.

Bill Posters posted:Thank gently caress, the kids get to go back to school on Friday.... It's not a good sign though IMO; If they thought this would be just an extended circuit-breaker they'd probably just have people tough it out another week for consistent messaging. Trying to make it more flexible like this means they see this going a while and don't want to upset too many people. The student thing seems like an invitation to another super-spreader too.

I disagree. They've never historically given that much of a poo poo about making regional areas happy. Why start now? I also can't recall any significant clusters coming from schools. Which seems counter intuitive to me considering the other filthy diseases my kids bring home, but there you go.

Lolie posted:Why is everyone blaming Victoria when this outbreak originated in South Australia? The Hotel quarantine system has a lot to answer for. Ok you quarantine for 14 days, and then you become infected as you're leaving because someone infected breathed in the hallway to collect their food 10min before - which is likely how the Kappa Variant got out. The quarantine system needs to be reworked. Like I'll take the piss out of Victoria all day long, but people's livelihoods are at stake and it's not on.
