Of course the tests are not fool-proof and are said to have an accuracy of around 70% which allows for the possibility of one or two false negatives in quarantine. I think the idea of limiting people to their own household for a week after leaving quarantine is a great one, just to be more sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 20, 2020 #3 Ā Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think there have been other cases of very long incubation periods. Remember the virus has to reach a certain level before it can be detected. Some people may initially fight it off but eventually the virus takes hold.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 25, 2020 #4 Ā Share Posted September 25, 2020 The problem with humans are we are not machines and we are definitely not all the same. What works for many, does not work for all, there always seems to be an exception to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Traveller Posted September 26, 2020 #8 Ā Share Posted September 26, 2020 I feel that a worrying aspect for the world, is the fair number of people who survive the virus, but are left with debilitating symptoms for the rest of their lives.

Exactly. And the Covidiots who rant and rave about restrictions and mask wearing are too dumb to understand that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted September 26, 2020 #10 Ā Share Posted September 26, 2020 Did you see where they are nine infected crew on bulk ore carrier off Port Headland? Ā Half crew have been taken off the ship and placed in hotel quarantine. Ā WA Auths are isolating the remaining crew on ship and doing a clean. Ā The ship came from the Phillipines. Ā There is also currently an infected crew member off the coast of Qld. Ā The crew on ships seems to remain the weak link in trying to control the virus.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 26, 2020 #11 Ā Share Posted September 26, 2020 Anyone coming in from overseas seems to be a risk, hence the reason only nationals returning and trade are the only incoming people.

Ā Just read that a member of a government health task force predicts 100 deaths per day in UK within two to three weeks time. Indicative death rate of 0.8% which is pretty high especially in light of such huge numbers of cases of infection. Boris under fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted September 27, 2020 #24 Ā Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) It's getting close to a year since I was in South Beach Miami post MSC cruise. Would not want to be anywhere near there now, especially after the governor's recent comments. Feel nice and safe right where I am. It may be time again to check on my cousin in London to see how he and his family are getting.

NSW is on the right track with only 1 local transmission in the last few days. Australians are mostly onboard with the messages we are getting to live with the virus until a vaccine or treatment arrives. š· Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
