Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted September 5, 2021 #401 Share Posted September 5, 2021 7 hours ago, ilikeanswers said: To be fair we don't all have the same illness experiences, personally I can understand why people might wait. I've had plenty of 24hr illnesses that disappear after a good night sleep. The next day I sometimes might still feel a little crook but if symptoms have decreased from yesterday than I know next day it will clear up. Myself I do wait at least a day before I get tested. True but the symptoms are too similar to risk these days, in my opinion. If it was Covid and you only had mild symptoms, you'd still be infectious. So better to get tested earlier than later.

I think it is more of an issue if people are still going out and about rather than isolating. I don't think it matters as much when you get tested if you have isolated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my QLD road trip only one of our accommodations was still rocking the International Roast😂. Mostly we had Nescafe and Moccona. One B&B had the pod machine and one hotel had something I never knew existed, coffee bags😲. Brand was Robert Timms and they were like tea bags but with coffee and they made a pretty decent cup of coffee😁.

Looks like some faulty crystal balls around the place. I can't speak for Victoria but in NSW we know who patient zero was, it was an advantageous position. If they had locked down Bondi the way they did the Northern Beaches last year it might have likely prevented an infected person from travelling from Bondi to West Hoxton that led to the super spreader event. There is aquestion to be answered as to why Bondi wasn't locked down. Most places never find their patient zero till long after the infection has spread. It feels like we squandered a unique opportunity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she had done, it's quite possible all those people in Melbourne and Sydney wouldn't be breaking any rules because they wouldn't be in lockdown.

It arrived into Australia via an infected aircrew member. 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he said, the current delta outbreaks in Australia came from Sydney. Where it was before that doesn't alter that fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a USA freight plane crew flying from America but it was an Australian limo driver contracted to drive the crew to and from their hotel who brought it into the community. And he was discovered before the infection had left the Bondi area which is unusual as most places don't discover their patient zeros till it is already spreading. We could have nipped this with a short lockdown of Bondi like we did Northern Beaches. Waiting gave time for infected people to leave Bondi and infect people around Sydney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that limo driver was not vaccinated, which as someone involved with overseas arrival he surely should have had to be. Not only that but he was wearing nil PPE - no mask, nothing. That same limo driver is still flouting the rules and was recently fined - sitting at a bus stop, maskless. Drongo. Actually, more than a drongo - he's an absolute danger to society. He has caused a world of pain, with the help of those officials who allowed it to spread.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 6, 2021 #424 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The Delta strain is much worse than the previous strains in terms of spreading, that said if people don't mix, they cannot spread the virus. It needs bodies to live and if people don't mix it will die. Lockdowns work but only if done properly and absolutely. Even now there is too many people out and about and too many doing essential work when in reality only medical reasons should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A short, hard lockdown of all of Sydney would have been better as there was not guarantee that all shoppers at Bondi Junction were locals. I used to shop there occasionally and I live on the other side of the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
