When you remember the PCR test - most likely the one used - throws up false positive / responds to previous corona-type virus presence (common cold, seasonal flu exposure...) and there is NO gold standard test to 'prove' the PCR against.... it starts to get worrying.

How far would some (US, in this case) Authorities be prepared to go in enforcing this? - Would be doubly tragic if they turned out to be NOT infected...
Then we in WA recently had a medical data breach - done by a 15 year old kid. Anyone else feeling insecure about government electronic health records / COVID Test results ?

If the lady in question lived in NSW she would be in exactly the same situation, although the test would probably be more reliable and be followed up with more diagnosis to ascertain whether it was a false positive. She would also be forced into self isolation with a large fine and monitoring of her adhereance via visits from NSW health staff and/ or police. She's probably silly wanting to visit her grandparents after testing positive in any case but she's in America after all.
The big difference is the level of trust that I would place in the testing and the authorities between here and there.

I'm not in vic, so....:huh:

With snippets like "Of the 3,810 people who tested positive to coronavirus in Victoria between July 7 and yesterday, 3,400 of them did not isolate when they first felt sick or after they got a test, Premier Daniel Andrews has said." Suspect a BIG taxpayer boost with the fines those turkeys should be paying [bigwhistle]Like to see idiots paying costs for those they infect as well. Nasty me.


26 November 2022 for next vic election Dave. I never try and pick it. I assumed one way in vic and got it wrong last time. Another way for Feds and got that wrong as well. Only good predictions I can be sure of is my assumption either way will be wrong [biggrin]

Sounds a bit like the early days of self isolation not working elsewhere as well resulting in hotel quarantine, might be cheaper to send all positive cases into those public housing blocks and relocate the public housing tenants into 5 star hotels for a couple of weeks. [biggrin]

One-third of workers are casuals and casual staff, such as in aged care, don't get sick pay, so if they don't work they don't get paid. If they take 14 days off the employer may replace them and they're out of a job. Wages are low and people are struggling.
So it's not surprising people might ignore a sniffle or sore throat and go to work to get paid, just as they do with a mild dose of the flu.
Remember they can't apply for the Victorian Government's $1500 a fortnight one-off payment until they test positive. So for some people they have to work to feed their kids and pay the bills.

WA POL is, AFAIK, actively checking those who are self-isolating at home.

Yes, agree, She's someone very clearly located Left-side of the IQ Bell Curve.[bigsad][bigsad][bigsad]

(And assuming a 'Positive' test will result in a Gold Standard (100% accurate) check to prove she has the active virus....)

I'm just glad to know that our (Oz) testing is both more accurate.... AND free from political shenanigans as wot afflicts the Good 'Ole US of A.
