Mind you, your employer may be treating a work colleague who test positive as a close contact. Either way, better safe than sorry taking a RAT.

Really!?
The CDC in the US have been quoting just under 1 million deaths due to Covid. Do you have a link to where they now claim just under 750000 deaths? I can wait.....

Can you imagine the panic 12-18 months ago if there were 53,000 odd new cases in a day?
Become quite blasé hasn’t it?

Back to the office today after a 2+ year hiatus. Found a spider in my work shoes as I went to dust it off this morning
![]() Interestingly, the local cafe said their business has boomed in the last 2 years, mainly cos residents in the area was flocking in during restrictions. We are situated just on the fringe of the CBD. Today's cases is very different to 18 months ago before vaccines and the less severe variants. If I recall, Victoria's 2nd wave topped around 700 cases a day, but took 800 odd lives in a very short time. Seems to be more acceptance than anything else. Plus there are other things to talk about and be scared of on the news.

Its become old news and not for all.......yet its still going through many (another variant) as Russell's daily figure's tell. We've moved on thankfully due to vaccine rates and people trying to get back to the new normal. In saying that for many it still effects daily life that used to be front and centre in the media etcetc. Staggers me how our Govs come to some decisions. Your allowed out, go to malls or crowded areas masks dropped. Yet workers (most) in shops and using public transport (Sydney) masks are required. Like wtf........ Just past Friday our no2 double vaxxed son tested pos Sunday via rat test due to a mates party that night. He got tipped off some got pos results. Sunday night he had typical flu symptoms, aching body, temp headache. Obviously locked him up in his room, rest of us done PCR tests Monday all negative. He's coming out of it well by Tuesday and keeping him in the required 7days. What I wonder is why being we test negative and doing the right thing staying home why ? Happy to do rat tests every 2nd day for eg....... Then just last night one of my bro inlaws sms'd me we can't catch up this weekend for his daughter tested pos from school. Telling me its going rife at their school - he said several friends of his 2 kids are pos. Its all old news now in the big picture but like I said, its in someone's life daily. I saw a 4th jab is coming up for O65's soon. No doubt about it I'm all for looking after them (heck I'm knocking at that door lol) and will make sure our aging parents and inlaws are jabbed but seriously how many more I wonder ? Will there be another huge new outbreak, how are we gonna be managed next time as Polyal quotes, doing things better in the future.

Governments have a poor track record just about anywhere for getting things right and while the Victorian experience of 2020 with COVID in the aged care system, it really only highlighted just how poor that sector was managed full stop.
There are still countries struggling with COVID. Our 10-day average in Australia is a little over 46k cases / day or 180 cases / 100k of total population. Comparatively: The UK has a 10DA of 82k cases / day or 120 cases / 100k. Italy has a 10DA of 63k cases / day or 136 cases / 100k. France has a 10DA of 97k cases / day or 150 cases / 100k. Slovakia has a 10DA of 8.3k cases / day or 153 cases / 100k. Vietnam has a 10DA of 158k cases / day or 162 cases / 100k. Greece has a 10DA of 22.6k cases / day or 217 cases / 100k. Germany has a 10DA of 219k cases / day or 261 cases / 100k. Netherlands has a 10DA of 46k cases / day or 267 cases / 100k. New Zealand has a 10DA of 17,673 cases / day or 366 cases / 100k. Austria has a 10DA of 43.5k cases / day or 483 cases / 100k. South Korea has a 10DA of 387k cases / day or 741 cases / 100k!

I have to laugh about all this ****. Work finally sent out a text saying there was a positive case in my office but there are no close contacts.
This is despite sitting right next to the bloke and talking with HR about me lining up with the ACT Health definition about high risk exposure and should do quarantine ![]() One thing I have learned is that unless you're a household contact you don't have to legally quarantine in ACT so **** that ![]() Day 6, negative RAT again. Good to go tomorrow right in time for the best time of the week ![]() |

While that suits the anti govco lot we have done all we can practically do. I heard on the news this morning there are talks of an omicron sub variant, whoop-dido, of course there is....and of course its more transmissible etc etc. The only people that seem to care anymore are the bureaucrats and management to scared to contest or make a decision independent of the gov. Which essential all comes down to risk mitigation, not from a health POV but a legal/financial.

It certainly was worse than a typo and I've fixed it in the original post. It's actually 366 cases / 100k!

Watching everyone lose their mind having to go back to the office on Monday. To be fair I get the argument to some degree but this epic meltdown has been giving me a ****en laugh for sure
![]() Unless you're wrapping yourself in a bubble all the time and not out doing what you want to do, you have no right to complain. Only reason I was WFH in the first place was because I was forced to and given how many have actually shown up since we were allowed to, I can't see any reason why I couldn't have been in the office the whole time! It's quite clear that you can still WFH if your circumstances require it ![]() |

Interesting the CMR for NZ is low as yet we're in the peak for infection and deaths . When we had basically no cases and no deaths we were higher than Australia....i know its just a mathematical calculation but it shows how inaccurate it can be in real world situations ....huge infections lower the figure (as long as deaths dont get out of hand)

My wife is a teacher who nearly got through term 1 (this is the last week of term) unscathed. She tested positive yesterday.Covid has run rampant through her class and the whole school.
She has 22 in her class and all 22 were present for only one day of the term. Her numbers have ranged from 6 upwards averaging out at 13 per day for the term. |
