They were showing all the football teams leaving Victoria this morning before lock down, you hope they are all covid free or they are just taking it out of victoria.
What are the odds? Sports gets to continue because they clearly wouldn't have caught it. Everyone else gets to spend another month and a half imprisoned because Chairman Dan couldn't run a pub raffle. Bad luck if you had just reopened your business or managed to secure work again.
Might add this is just the stuff-around my programme didn't need.

They all get tested three times a week I think, so the risk is very low.

@barbarian was that thier families too?
One guy was carrying his toddler onto the plane.
Bear in mind this was NZ media so was probably a 3 year old stock clip.

Influenza
She and ilk are a virus

@taniwharugby I'm not sure about families, but I know they are in a pretty tight 'bubble' set-up so I'd assume they are playing it very safe.

This is a shame. How much travel has their been between Melbourne / Sydney? Has it been opened for all 'n sundry? Sports teams etc?
Yes, there's been free travel between them up until yesterday when NSW closed the border (119 years too late). Apart from all that time Victorians weren't allowed outside (the first time).

@MiketheSnow
Is an "influencer" like a socialite without the money? -

Lvl 3 lockdown for six weeks for Metro Melbourne...awesome
Just wow
But aussie still did an awesome job dealing with covid right?
They/we did.
Not so much the quarantining of infected peeps coming back in.
And it's one state.
Qld, SA, WA, ACT, Tas, NT and even NSW have killed it.
Only Victoria has dropped the ball on the returnees.
Hope they contain it.

Hotel quarantine mismanaged. Non-compulsory testing when leaving quarantine made absolute no sense.
But also others that had symptoms and didn’t get test and even worse, some that had contracted the virus, did not self isolate and went off to work, family gatherings etc and it has spread.
I may have to revisit the ol’ Parenting thread with only the oldest returning to school next Monday and the other 4 at home....

I think there were legal issues with that

My brother in law is in Melbourne and says the private company overseeing the isolation process fucked up big time. Literally

There are powers that can be made under health orders available to the States to keep people quarantined until they get tested. This was confirmed by the Chief Medical Officer.

Messaged a mate in VIC yesterday asking how he was etc and he planned to get through this latest development.
He responded at 11.58pm last night with a pic of his motel room in Albury.
Made me wonder just how many will do the same? He has family in NSW so made sense for him, but there could be heaps in similar situations.
Are we about to see a spike in NSW as a result?

@ACT-Crusader Security Guards - Minimum wage job for people with few other options.
So you'd think their training would have amounted to more than being locked in a room together to watch a 12 minute video and then set free to "do the job".
Yet according to an interview on NR this was the sum total of their training.
Hardly surprising the resulting cluster fuck

@mariner4life There is no worse type of person than the self described social media influencer.
Being ‘famous’ and an ‘influencer’ online is like being rich in Monopoly. It’s not real.
