Thread: Corona Virus

Victoria is still having a notable number of fresh community cases, and NSW is likely to have a second wave now it is opening up, so it seems reasonable to me for other states to wait at least one 14 day infection period, and maybe two periods or 28 days. That would take us to the end of June.
There has been mention of July 10 as a possible date for the Qld border to reopen, but that would depend on if NSW and Victoria had their community transmission suppressed.
Victorian Premier Dan Andrews seems very cautious about risking a second wave by reopening too early.
NSW is going early, putting a higher priority on economic activity despite the public health risks, so let's see how that goes. Once NSW is suppressed, it may be safer for other states to open up.

ATM the community transmission cases in NSW are popping up around Penrith and the Hills District, so testing is being concentrated there.
The rest of the state seems to be pretty clear, at least atm.

We've had a couple of new cases in the last two weeks but they are OS travelers returning home.

Unfortunately my favourite local camping spot, Bendethera Valley in Deua NP, is still closed following the bushfires in this area a few months ago.

Yeah, it’s going to be pretty ugly out there I think. I have a 5 day weekend so can get somewhere before everyone else but guess we’ll be overrun at some point no matter where we go.

Some sound advice on border closures.

Is it time to reopen our borders? For states still recording new cases, it's too soon
