WA Premier fears COVID explosion in hotel quarantine after 78 of 79 arrivals on plane are from India

https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/wa-premier-fears-covid-explosion...

Quote:

Western Australia has reported no new local coronavirus cases on the first day following the lifting of a snap lockdown.

However, there were four cases in hotel quarantine and a fifth under investigation.

All five of those returned travellers were in COVID-plagued India and arrived in Perth on a flight from Kuala Lumpur.

Premier Mark McGowan on Tuesday said emergency health meetings on Tuesday morning revealed 78 of 79 passengers on the flight had been in India.

WTF???? All these people STILL arriving from India? We're in the middle of a steadily worsening pandemic FFS!!

Quote:

He fears this will place a significant strain on the hotel quarantine system.

Understatement of the year!!!

Just a matter of time before there's another outbreak and we're back in lockdown... and, it'll probably be longer than 3 days this time.

Well, it looks like we've dodged another Covid bullet here in Perth but I'm sure it won't be long before our luck runs out, especially with winter almost here.

Oh, it'll happen again alright.

Thanks to smacking idiots who refuse to wear masks, social distance, and obey lock-down orders.

Don't throw your masks away yet.

I have a good supply in my car, at work, and at home - we'll be needing them again in the not too distant future (as well as for the rest of this week).

And also the ones who STILL don't use the SafeWA app or a pen and paper register when shopping, etc.

Coronavirus WA: Many West Australians not using SafeWA app and QR codes while out shopping during lockdown

https://thewest.com.au/news/coronavirus/coronavirus-wa-many-west-australians-not...

Yes, I've seen it myself while out shopping the past few days. Been happening since it became 'compulsory' a few months back.

(Its a subscriber only article but the story is obvious, I'll probably read it when I get today's West later on.

I'm usually the only one who signs in with the app when I go to Woollies etc.

Hardly anyone uses the hand sanitiser, cleans the basket handles, or signs in.

Bastards!

News conference in a few minutes.

(Four new cases in quarantine hotels overnight)

No need to sign in with app at individual shops if you already did at at the shopping centre, thats why. I have observed that most are using the app. Maybe they do it different in Vic park, high amount of Indians and Chinese so they are probably arrogant about it. would not surprise me if these people are hoping to deliberately spread it.

No, it won't. Not when they keep flying thousands of potentially infected people into the country every week... especially from places like India at the moment.

This guy had the right idea back in December.

Fully close the international borders – with no exceptions

With the benefit of hindsight, we should have bitten the bullet back in March (2020) and closed the national border completely to international travellers.

Pigs will probably fly before that ever happens, especially with the clowns we have running the show in this country.

um

maybe you ignoramuses want to think about things like global supply chains when you start "shreiking" about closing all borders Roll Eyes

.

if we cant import all the things you lazy chodes refuse to make then you might have to go without your 'entitled standard of living"

its truly pathetic that cowardly chodes think the solution is to build a wall around australia and then its problem solved.

1/2 the australian population have family overseas.
and calling for the cessation of allowing ex pats back home?
what if YOUR kid was studying at oxford.

this "i'm alright jack" attitude is woeful.

and for the people who screeched about their safety to now not want to roll up their sleeves (which would appear the only way back to normality) is incomprehensible to anyone who isnt a recluse.

as for peccas comments that young people should not get to go to schoolies as a right of passage, play interstate sport, seek jobs in sydney and melbourne or overseas and then return home to loved ones at any time they please...it merely shows the selfishness of some australians.

the response to covid has brought out the very worst in the selfish chode

We'll build a wall, and India will pay for it.

Well that was interesting.
Landed in Coolangatta airport this morning, walking out towards doors that lead to luggage pick up and vehicle pick up area, and what do I see.... about 12 police, standing before exit, all radioed up, visible guns in holsters, and I’m thinking wow, who’s this welcoming committee for?
I asked a security guard watching over car pickup/drop off area, who the police are greeting.
He said..... people from Perth!
Oh and BTW, the plane I’m in from Melbourne all wore masks, except for the hostesses.
And these police had no masks on either.
Just as observation.

what a dogs breakfast LOLS.

if ever there was a need for a focused strong unshakeable military type response it is to this debacle.

the CCP is now back to full production. (strong leadership and strategic implementation)

the virus is demolished.

the CCP is also currently exploring sources of iron ore in south africa, brazil and chile.

soon they will say bye bye to WA and the fine citizens of perth can starve behind their walls ,

no courage, no jobs, no income, no purpose.

except to survive

surviving not thriving

coping mentality.

just trying to "cope' with this harsh world.

its woeful

You know nothing of where the CSNSP is at. They release nothing that is detrimental to their own narrative...

And what does get out... They hunt down the sources and bash them.

You don't seriously believe the CSNSP didn't just bolt in their homes people with the virus to die (the ones they hadn't bulldozed) and corralled the rest into (what looked like) dog boxes?

You know very little of totalitarian capacity for stage-managing a state display... Leni Riefenstahl would turn in her grave...

Where do you think Xi Jinpig is getting his ideas from?

will you accept the Wall st journal as credible

BEIJING—China’s economy surged 18.3% in the first quarter from a year earlier, a record rate of growth that reflected the recovery from a deep coronavirus-induced trough in early 2020 and the continued momentum of the world’s second largest economy.

The rate of gross domestic product growth in the first three months of 2021 was sharply higher than the 6.5% year-over-year growth recorded in the final quarter of 2020, though it fell short of the 19.2% growth expected by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal.

Analysts had anticipated GDP growth in the first three months of the year to jump sharply when compared with the year-earlier period, when the Chinese economy suffered a historic 6.8% contraction as the coronavirus’ initial emergence forced Beijing to shut down large swaths of the country.

In recent weeks, China has reported economic indicators showing growth of 30% or more from a year earlier.

I think the key takeaway here is: China (read CSNSP) has reported economic indicators showing growth of 30% or more...

The CSNSP isn't reporting credible virus death rates any more... No one's questioning them any more because there's no point... The CSNSP will veer off into a rant about 'racism' and send its 50 cent army to do what its does best... fling their faeces across social media.

would you like me to post the shipping container arrivals for the USA from china for the first 3 months of this year.

record numbers

thru the roof.

the chinese are sending so much stuff to the USA it isnt economically viable to send them back so they just make new ones and leave the empty ones parked in the states.

they certainly seem to be back to business as usual

BEIJING/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - China’s world-beating economic rebound from the coronavirus pandemic is being blunted by a global shortage of shipping containers, sending cargo costs to record highs and hampering manufacturers in filling fast-recovering global goods orders.

Exports from China surged 21% in November from a year ago as the country’s mammoth industrial engine cranked out mountains of appliances, toys, clothes, personal protective equipment and other items currently in high demand around the world.

But due to China’s lopsided trade balance - exporting three containers for every one imported recently - and delays in containers returning to China due to the pandemic overseas, a severe shortage is now starting to pinch export flows. Roughly 60% of global goods move by container, and according to United Nations trade data there are close to 180 million containers worldwide.

“We have so many orders but just cannot ship things,” said Charles Xu, a mirror salesman in the export manufacturing hub of Yiwu in Zhejiang province who supplies U.S. retailers such as Walmart and Home Depot.
