Mutant strain: Australian leaders to consider tighter rules on UK arrivals

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/states-want-early-testing-of-passengers-...

Quote:

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has recalled national cabinet a month early to decide whether to tighten precautions on international arrivals over fears travellers from the United Kingdom will spread a more infectious mutant coronavirus strain.

The nation's leaders will meet on Friday rather than in February to consider the health advice from Australia's top medical officers, who will meet on Thursday ahead of Friday's leaders' phone hookup.

Definitely a step in the right direction but I hope they consider (and act) quickly.

Authorities worried UK strain of COVID-19 may be so infectious it broke through normal quarantine protocols

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-08/coronavirus-queensland-uk-strain-hotel-qu...

Quote:

Authorities in Queensland are highly concerned about the case after the woman, aged in her 20s, was out in the community for several days, before developing symptoms on Wednesday and testing positive.

Quote:

It is the first time in the nation that a person has been out in the community while unknowingly ill with the highly-infectious strain.

I see that Brisbane is now going into a 3 day lockdown, I wonder if the same will be happening in WA (and the rest of Australia) very soon?

I see in today's West Australian newspaper that our Premier, Mark McGowan, is extremely concerned about this new COVID-19 variant.

He says that National Cabinet should consider banning all flights to Australia from the United Kingdom for the time being.

Absolutely!

Yet when it was said to ban flights from Asia you screamed racism.
Funny the double standards you show. Grin

Don't even bother replying. You're a waste of skin.

Nope. Not me.

I said ban flights from all countries, right from the start.

Panic buying has broken out across Greater Brisbane as the city prepares to enter a strict three day lockdown from Friday evening.

Despite pleas from the Queensland Premier and chief health officer, queues quickly formed outside the city’s supermarkets and shelves were rapidly emptied.

No mention of toilet rolls in the article but I'll bet they were the first shelves to be emptied. Roll Eyes

Three days my arse.....this will be extended.
And....
What did the premier expect?
Stupid bitch forces an illegal lock down and the scared people go crazy.
The dumb fkkk would have known this would happen. If she didn't then she needs new advisors.

What good does pleading over the air do pubslut?
You and your dumbarse health advisors can eat a dick. You create unease because you're fkkkn retarded. They all are.

Funny thing is.....
You can still go to work.
Can still go shopping.
So long as the multi nationals are filling their bank accounts.
Oh....And it starts at 6pm on Friday..... why not straight away? Grin

What everyone in Brisbane needs to do is stay home all together. No one leave home for one whole week.
No doctors, no supermarkets, no petrol.....nothing. Shut the joint down. Like a blockade on a job site.

bugger you Anna whatevertgebuggeryourlastnameis slut.

How is it illegal?

Which law, exactly, has been contravened?

Just got back from Belmont Forum shopping centre.

Very busy up there at the moment - especially Coles and Woolworths. Haven't seen as many cars entering the shopping centre carparks from the surrounding streets since just before Christmas.

Has the panic buying started again in Perth?

(Maybe they're all going to the shopping centres to escape the heat? 40 degrees outside right now).

I'm guessing it's the heat.

I'm not moving from air conditioned comfort today.

Currently 40.2 degrees outside.

Well, that's just f___ing great, isn't it?

I have to take my 90 year old aunt to the doctors tomorrow because she's been almost unable to walk for the past 2 days (her left hip is giving her increasing trouble).

Then, I'm supposed to take her to the eye specialist at Murdoch on Tuesday for her 6 month eye checkup.

And, on top of all that, I have to spend all day and overnight at Royal Perth Hospital on the 25th February (which just happens to be my aunt's 91st birthday and I won't be with her on the day) to have half of my thyroid and the lump attached to it removed.

Fantastic. These f___ing "returned travellers" strike again.

They stopped the "floating petri dishes" (cruise ships) last year but they didn't stop the flying ones - which are worse regarding the spread of COVID-19, of course.
