So thoughts on an appropriate punishment for the Brisbane chap who was tested for Covid as a close contact of a positive case, then threw a party for 25 of his besties while waiting for his result and subsequently tested positive himself?
Seems it was 'only 5 not 25.
Not sure what alien has stolen Anastasia's body. I'm shocked Brisbane isn't in full lockdown. Doesn't she care that we'll all die?
@voodoo And 4 of the 5 were his housemates.
Ha ha, that's some quality reporting!!!
Appears Queensland Health announced the 25 people and D'Ath is now scrambling to defend her department.

Queensland has recorded 10 new cases of coronavirus, four of those locally acquired, with Brisbane to go into a three-day lockdown. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said six of the cases were overseas acquired and four were community transmission, two of those were linked to the 26-year-old landscaper from Stafford who tested positive to the highly infectious UK strain on Thursday night. Two of the cases have an unknown origin. Another case is a nurse from the Princess Alexandra hospital who had worked on the COVID ward. Greater Brisbane will now go into a three-day lockdown as of 5:00pm today and masks will be mandatory. This includes the Ipswich, Logan, Redlands, Moreton and Brisbane council areas. "Two are known cases of one of the previous people, then we have two under investigation but we believe one of them is a nurse from the PA hospital," Ms Palaszczuk said. "Now what this says to us is the fact that there are now more community transmission and these people have been out and about in the community.

Fucks sake. Finally got a few days off and planned a cathartic motorbike ride, and the fisheads decide to put us in lockdown again.

and on some pretty small pretense as well
the very cynical part of me says this keeps the Qld Health story from above off the front pages

Lockdown ~2.4 million people over four community transmissions.

and the distinct possibility of some bizarre state-wide mask mandate. Sydney and Melbourne are two times closer to Brisbane than i am, why do i have to wear a mask?

Especially when you assume the 'vulnerable' have already been vaccinated.

Feel for those in the tourism/hospitality industry. No confidence at all to prebook anything.
A major pub had to shut down early Saturday evening because one of the positive cases visited there for about two hours seven days before. The owners are bloody wealthy and can probably take the hit, but that's a hell of a lot of income to lose. Wonder if the staff still got paid? All this because of a visit a week earlier? Surely the damage would have already been done if he was spreading anything.

stupid fucking idiotic Qld Government motherfuckers!!!!
State-wide mandatory mask wearing. From 5pm. There has not been a case of COVID in Cairns outside of the Quarantine Hotels since May last year. We are 2100km from the "hot spot" most people don't even have access to masks, and yet have to wear them just to come to work!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we have to wear a mask to go any fucking where. I think we have reached a new low point of stupidity.
FUUUUUUCK!!!! Hotels were booked solid from this weekend. I bet the cancellations start rolling in! fucking fuck you.

The hide of the Queensland Government to launch an ad campaign to get Sydneysiders up north, then to pull this shit. Morons.
but but but they are just following the health advice...
the fucking ongoing nerve to continue to say shit like "it's either we do this, or we get what is happening overseas" fuuuucking bullshit.

We have booked Cairns/PD/Cape Trib for June, you fuckers better sort your shit by then!!!

very strange look around the city. and dead quiet. so strange that in the 12 months of COVID, this is the first time masks have been mandatory in Cairns.

Shows just what a chimera the prospect of a trans Ta$man bubble is. No way will I risk being trapped overseas because some politician has a knee jerk reaction to a couple of isolated cases.
god it reads even worse when it's laid out like that

Holy shit, I can't imagine what level of stupid is required to make that a rule in a state which is two and half times the size of Texas (I didn't know that, but other fun facts here) and seems to have a total population about the same as New Zealand.
Wow. Just, fucking wow.

oh it's absolutely retarded.
Sydney is half the distance away, why are they not masked up?
Melbourne is approximately the same distance.
Adelaide and Auckland are just a little bit further away, i guess it doesn't travel that far
Yes, i now it's about flights, but i bet there are more flights elsewhere than here.
Cancellations have rolled in over the past 24 hours, but the Qld government are confident it will have no impact on the school holiday tourism sector....
