Does that mean you & your mates in wet suits will swim up the Port River> River Torrens> Onkaparinga River, a few drains> a storage tank or two, & do me in?

You better watch out for my pet Killer Turtles & Red Fin in the dam or they'll have you by the nads.[bigrolf]

Of course you didn't. You've been butting heads with people here for too long, getting paranoid. I don't play their games Des.

Well, you'd have to wonder if it didn't come from NSW, i.e., they were infected in NSW and carried it back to Victoria and not the other way around.

That seems to be the consensus of opinion, in health circles, but there is no proof in the form of positive tests in NSW. It has been reported the Delta variant was detected in two community Covid cases in Sydney in May. The origin of those has never been traced. The Melbourne couple have the same variant , but genomic testing shows them to have a different strain than the Sydney couple. If there was some one out there with the variant in Sydney or else where, surely you would think they would have turned up for testing by now. Would it be possible to be asymptomatic, I wonder?

Possible to be vaccinated, caught it somewhere, asymptomatic and still capable of passing it on. That's the way it is unfortunately.

Paranoid? Moi? [bigrolf] Eerr ok, couldn't see anything. "Then go in peace my son (makes sign of the cross" & buggers off sharpish back to the Vestry where a new flagon or two of Communion Wine needs Quality Control testing for service on Sunday.[bigrolf] :rulez:


Cant have the flock drinking **** you know.

Never thought of that. My goodness this is a problem , for sure. But it is puzzling how it seems it is in the community , but not detected. Does this mean that you can have a community of vaccinated people carrying the virus around until it finds a host? Does that even make some sort of sense? That's scary.

You don't have to be vaccinated to pass it on, just asymptomatic.

Don't forget that there's a 20 day gap between the guy who got infected in SA quarantine and the infections kicking off in Epping - they still haven't found the link between the two, so presumably there was some undetected infection in the middle. The numbers of mystery cases around suggest that there is a reservoir of it in the community.
