Thread: Corona Virus

I don’t need to, just pointing out the black pot and kettle. Seems you’re happy to hang it on other states (particularly Vic) but get your back up (heaven forbid) anyone says anything remotely derogatory about your beloved Qld. It goes both ways. 😉

Andrews told reporters on Tuesday that a number of Victoria’s cases through late May and early June had been linked through genomic testing to an infection control breach in the hotel quarantine program, prompting him to call for a judicial inquiry. Security staff at the Stamford Plaza Hotel in Melbourne had breached infection control measures and had worked while infectiou

As border restrictions ease we seem likely to have more cases everywhere.
