Re: Chinese Coronavirus

From what I read Australia and New Zealand, both islands, managed to lock everything down, unlike the UK. We are a small island so it should have been even easier but it didn't happen. At the start of the pandemic I read somewhere that some 20,000 people arrived in the UK after travelling by air from countries where coronavirus was really bad!

As a result of failures like that we have what we have now, appalling total figures for fatalities and those contracting the coronavirus. Not forgetting of course all the problems the two lockdowns we have gone through have caused in the population, a lot of this has yet to be fully realised.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

We are still shut down only returning residents enter the country and only people with permits leave.

All covid outbreaks have come from Hotel Quarantine because the useless Federal Government has had a year to build Howards Springs like quarantine centres but has done absolutely nothing. they have totally botched the vaccine roll out too. Thank goodness for the State Geovernments.

At this moment Greater Sydney is in Lockdown because of the Delta strain, it has just been extended to 30th July but I suspect it will be extended past that date unless things improve dramatically.

I was a bit worried with yesterday's figures showing no new cases in Australia (there were 69 in NSW alone) but it looks like they have been included in today's figures.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I forgot to mention that Victoria locked down Melbourne from midnight tonight so now Australia's two largest cities are in lockdown. That is about half of the country's total population.

It rather spoiled the news that unemployment had fallen to the lowest level for over 10 years (that was before the latest lockdown)
