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.
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.

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....

My sister is spewing. Finally having the chance to head up to Moloolaba from VIC after having not left the state for over a year and this happens a few days before departure. I expect she will pivot and head to WA or somewhere else warm to spend her tourist dollars

I feel really sorry for everyone in tourism. Jesus.
We run at about 300 cases a day in Tokyo and everyone just gets on with it.

oh, so yeah, this looks like it is all going to stem from an unvaccinated health care worker
this should play out well, watch the finger pointing begin.

Agreed, especially if either government decides to require isolation/quarantine on return if a traveller is in the country when a case arose, rather than just while there are issues, so they can't even wait it out for a week or two and avoid quarantine.

@voodoo Fair enough. I've got family in Australia and can work from anywhere, so TBH, I probably wouldn't care as long as I didn't have to fork out for quarantine as I could just "shelter in place" until any requirement to quarantine goes away.
The issue is if the quarantine becomes mandatory if you are there between certain dates e.g. I go for a holiday in Brisbane where my family are, some cases crop up somewhere in Brisbane like now, and the NZ government requires me to go through MIQ because I was in a hotspot between dates X and Y. Instead of just waiting a few weeks for it to blow over, if I have to actually book MIQ and pay for it, suddenly I could be waiting for months and forking out thousands. Since I have family, I have somewhere to stay cheaper than a hotel, and can work, so won't run out of leave or lose my job and will continue earning, but for anyone without that support, that would be untenable.
-
@godder that's me in reverse, if I can get to NZ for "free", I'd take the punt on getting back to Oz without quarantining, would wait it out with the old lady if necessary. Would be far from ideal, but the longer time goes on, the more I'd be open to the risk.
-
two cases. Linked to the "cluster" stemming form the fuck up at the Hospital. Nothing else anywhere in the state.
Thus far Qld Health getting a free ride in the press.

@mariner4life That's coz people realise they are the thin yellow line between you and the zombie apocalypse
