Coronavirus II : The Virus Strikes Back

[stui magpie]

Anyway I decided to do the right thing and get test before heading north to escape. Flowed quite quickly through the drive thru testing site at Knox, still feel violated but wasn't as bad as expected.

It does bring tears to your eyes

Nice young girl was gentle!

You sure you were in the Covid queue and not the drive through blow and go?

Things are bad when you start shaking your head in belief:

The US went past 70,000 new cases reported in the last 24 hour period. Just 7 days ago, the States set a new all-time high of 58,910 new cases in 24 hours, so the new peak (71,787) is almost 22% higher than last week’s record. The 7-day rolling average of daily new cases is now up to 56,639 (slightly less than 400,000 new cases in the past 7 days).

Indiana, a state with a population comparable to Victoria’s, recorded 725 new cases overnight (total of 50,300) and 9 new deaths (total of 2,748). The number of new cases there has been creeping back up since it hit a low of just 210 on 22 June (down from a peak of 949 on 27 April).

From The Age’s blog:

A Victorian man in his nineties has died as the state recorded 216 new cases of coronavirus on Friday.

Premier Daniel Andrews said on Saturday that the state had now recorded 3560 cases of coronavirus.

Mr Andrews said there was a net increase of 181 new cases after 35 were reclassified.

He said there were now 1249 active cases in the state.

I was at the Flemington towers for work yesterday. It had calmed right down although there were still a lot of workers and police around.
At one point I went up to the Woolworths on Racecourse road. While I was there I had to go to the toilet and was disturbed to see that they didn't have any soap. Not good.

Myself and the missus are now considered suspected cases. We've both had a slight cold and thought we'd do the right thing and get tested. We are S.E. suburbs so hopefully nothing to do with all the cluster f@@@@s over the other side.

We did the drive through test, manned by the ADF, very professional. It was done with military precision.

Anyhow, we're isolating at home until the results come back within 6 days.

[Pies4shaw]

Good luck and best wishes for a negative result from both tests. Bruce.

[KenH]

Wishing you and your missus the best of results, Bruce!

[Jezza]

Best wishes to both of you, Bruce.

Here's hoping for a negative result and speedy recovery.

As someone who's near the cluster puvcks I've had a slight cold as well for a couple of weeks but haven't bothered getting tested again.

On the point of the ADF, I don't understand this Government's reluctance to use them. They've been almost hostile to the offer.

While the buck stops with Dandrews, whoever made the call to use private security firms to guard those in hotel quarantine should be lodging their application for JobSeeker ASAP, the companies who accepted the work then subcontracted it out should face significant fines and be banned from providing work for the government and any public sector entity, and the subcontractor companies should be de-registered, fined and their owners/principles jailed.
