Yep.

Is 1 case an outbreak?

No problem with that. SA is in lockdown over 1 case so I was just curious what the threshold is to actually call it an outbreak.

Shall we adopt some nomenclature?

Say:

One is an "isolated case in quarantine throughout their infectious period but not thought to present any risk of wider transmission, at this stage" or else a "problem case that was not fully isolated for their infectious period", as the case may be.

Two is "a second case that presents a real cause of concern for the authorities".

Three is "an apparent COVID incursion starting to take a hold in our State".

Four through to nine is "evidence that the virus is spreading in the community".

Ten to fifteen is "a massive headache for the Government as it attempts to accelerate its vaccination program in the affected areas."

Your turn. :wink:

The Victorian government is on record many times telling us protesting does not cause Covid cases so if we’re to believe them theb what’s the problem?

Different protesting, different strain. We all "knew" you couldn't get COVID at the footy, too. Remember that from 6 weeks ago?

As far as the protests go, I'm yet to be convinced that in this day and age there is any justification for these self aggrandizing spectacles of douchery. Any of these peanuts resisting arrest, assaulting Police or Police Horses, other violence or vandalism should get 14 days in remand straight off the bat, any charges and/or convictions on top of that.

Good news is apparently of the close contacts from the Prahran market, 60% of tests are back and all negative so we may just be on track to end lockdown on time. (touch wood)
