Coronavirus (Covid19)

[Lightning McQueen]

South Australia has 11 new cases today. Total 396 cases. 18 people at the RAH, 8 in ICU, 7 men, 1 woman, 6 are in a critical condition.

3 of today's cases are from the Ruby Princess, totals 84 from that ship and 116 from cruise ships. ( Nearly 1/3 of cases from cruise ships )

Total recovered 46 people, this is two negative throat swab tests in a row.

The airport cluster is a major focus for SA Health, 11 baggage handlers and 7 people from their families are secondary infections. This is still an open cluster, any symptoms experienced by people who have been through the airport in the last 14 days are urged to be tested.

Lot of hullabaloo for 396 cases. Can't wait to sit out the back on my own all weekend and talk to myself while I get on the gas. You little ripper.

That sounds like my perfect weekend, with the punt on.

We will be the first mainland state to resume to normal.

Restrictions will stay in place for close to 6 months

My previously mentioned copper mate has been told 100 days before a revaluation.

Wonder if the AFL are currently putting in measures to send all clubs to SA to recommence the season, wouldn't be the worst idea if Vic/NSW are going to be slower to recover.

Good boy, doing as you're told, exactly what we want to hear.

Yeah I am doing the right thing but it's still a crock of shit that all of this is happening over a cold.

Won’t peak here until June IMO so I reckon it’s wishful thinking that everything will return to normal soon unfortunately

@Psyber, interested in your thoughts on :

The response by Morrison at a Federal level -

The response by Marshall at a State level -

The way SA Health has handled the event -

COVID-19 and the risks it poses to the community -

If you could offer 1000 words or less I'd appreciate it.

TIA.

I do a few weeks here and there around the country each year as a locum medical specialist, mostly in rural areas I may not otherwise ever see. I've told my booking agents I won't be looking at anything before September this year, and then I'll look at the situation and review.

I concluded that since I'm in a vulnerable age group now I shouldn't take the risk of catching the virus.

Personally, looking at it from a purely medical viewpoint, I'd have leaned toward an earlier and tighter response locking things down sooner, but I can see (from the people I know I've seen ignoring the policies) that there is a need to play on human Psychology and sell the community the requirements a bit more gradually.

I don't know enough about national Economics to be sure about the financial policies, but it makes some sense to try to prop things up in the shorter term in the hope of a quicker bounce back. However, I think things being fine in 6 months is a bit optomistic. Morrison seems to be handling the selling of reasonable compromises gradually well, but Marshall has been a bit on the back foot compared to the Victorian and Tasmanian Premiers. Still he is not a very outgoing personality, though pleasant enough to talk to, and he may be wise to let his Ministers take the spotlight. SA Health is doing reasonably well given we have not been prepared for a possible crisis for a long time, with successive governments pruning the health budget for years and assuming nothing can go wrong.. go wrong...

COVID-19 is a serious concern given its capacity to spread rapidly even before symptoms are manifest, and the lack of any endemic immunity in the community, though its fatality is relatively low in most of the population compared with some of the new virus strains over the last few years - obviously as someone in the vulnerable age group I'm taking it seriously, and I note even children are dying in some locations.

Singapore has done a good job.

Suggested that restrictions stay in place until the end of July at earliest

Exactly, just pointing it out to those that think we will be back to normal in a few weeks.

[scottroo]

I wouldn’t believe anything the experts are saying.

Two weeks ago they were saying we could possibly have 100000 deaths

South Australia looks to be tracking very well at the moment

It is tracking very well but we still must remain vigilant over the next few months which is why restrictions won’t be lifted anytime soon.

Anything?

[locky801]

From the COP, another 28 days of the same restrictions we are currently under and then obviously to be reassessed

Lets hope we keep tracking ok and that the eastern states slow down
