What we’re not told about new cases
One of the country’s leading epidemiologists says crucial information is missing when NSW’s daily Covid-19 case numbers are announced that could help paint a clearer picture of how the virus is spreading.

Zero-case policy even after 80 per cent of WA is vaccinated
Mark McGowan wants to pursue a zero cases COVID policy in WA - even when the State reaches an 80 per cent vaccination rate - but is it realistic?

Crazy premier. I hope if he has to ask the federal government for military assistance to enforce his draconian measures that they tell him to fuck off.

Yeah, Nah.
Never thought I’d see the day I’d agree with you on something lol!

But if he's still doing it when a majority of people are vaccinated then clearly he's becoming dictatorial.
If they were being treated differently than other travellers I think that would cause more upset so I am fine that the regulations made are being used consistently in the state. As a result of someone getting covid in nsw between quarantine and being transported back to our state we are doing what we need to keep it out. It would much better had there been better communication regarding all of this sooner so the sa Olympians were transported straight onto Adelaide for their original two weeks quarantine.
What is your thought on it?
I am feeling exhausted for all you Victorians. Stay safe. I can tell by talking to my team mates daily what a toll this is taking.

Yeah, Nah.
It seems a bit harsh considering these are some of the most tested and quarantined people on the planet, and I do fear for the mental health a bit. A month in quarantine is extremely tough, but if that’s the rules SA has in place, you have to respect that. It’s disappointing that the SA government didn’t liaise with the AOC about quarantine requirements, they were the only state that didn’t get back to them, so I feel this was an avoidable situation if the communication was better.

Putting in a curfew for such a low number of cases seems a bit extreme. Surely there were other measures he could have implemented before the curfew.
I'm going to whinge...and really I probably have no right to. I didn't think lockdowns effected me very much (other than I can't see my children when I want to) BUT I'm starting to feel anxious and angry about this whole COVID nightmare. Will life ever be normal again? Are we forever looking at curtailed freedoms and lockdowns? Is there an end in sight for this? It's doom and gloom every day and it doesn't seem anyone has the answer...and perhaps there is no answer. That's what worries me. Sorry...bad day.
No need to apologise I think how you are feeling is perfectly understandable and normal. It's OK to have bad days right now. You are certainly not alone in feeling like you do. I hope you have a rl support system around you to chat to on these harder days.
Sorry I don't have any magic answers for you though.
Take care xx
I ask myself the same question about life returning to normal.
Unfortunately I just don’t see it happening as the virus spreads and doesn’t discriminate. Did you see the WA Premier saying that even when the state is 80%+ vaccinated, lockdowns would be on the table? It is worrying times.
