Actually, testing shows the same rates of infection in NSW as Victoria.Quote:

There is one outbreak caused by the incompetence of the bureaucrats and the people in the lockdown suburbs are bearing the brunt of that, when it's really just a couple of households that have caused the problem in those areas.
From now on I suggest that all international arrivals be sent to Geraldton - let's see how you deal with the tens of thousands that have returned to Australia by air, with up to 10% from some countries being infected.
Because the guards were getting it off with the inmates [bighmmm].Quote:

The big news in Victoria is 108 new cases, including 26 in nine public housing blocks with 3000 residents, who are going into hard lockdown for at least 5 days under police guard and unable to leave.
Two more postcodes have also been added to the hotspot suburbs.
I know someone, a young doctor, who lives just near the public housing blocks.
They tested 25,000 people yesterday, so that's a big effort. Its good the higher testing is finding positives. Andrews has asked everyone in the hotspot suburbs to get tested.
I suppose in Oz it's known as getting it off with someone, in the former great US it's known as getting it on with someone and in a 1980's pandemic that killed 30 ish mill(?) there was a catch cry of 'if it's not on, it's not on' to encourage behaviour that minimised transmission.Quote:

I so hope they don't have a Communal Toilet or they will be in more strife than Ned Kelly.[bighmmm]
Some good news..
The restrictions on Aboriginal Communities, including Doomadgee, in Queensland have been lifted.
Now, maybe, I can get some contractors in to get some much needed repairs & maintenance done & our new accommodation unites completed.
Also, SWMBO, can now visit.
