We wish them all the best. Our health depends on them.


The state's chief medical officer said until a patient zero is found, they can not be sure they are gaining ground on the spread.
"My anxiety is that we haven't found the direct transmission route," said Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant on Thursday.



She said without that, authorities can not be sure they have "locked every transmission line".
Two different situations NSW has been dealing with two completely separate transmission situations over the past week, Dr Chant explained.

Because procreation favours the stupid, so survival of the fittest becomes survival of the foolest. TLDR; we keep breeding better fools.

The federal government has declared Sydney’s northern beaches a national coronavirus hotspot – the first time it has made such a declaration during the pandemic.

I think you may have a point. There is another train of thought. That Fools are not bred, but created . If so, then it has become obvious that ' social ' media is the petri dish where these beings are cultured.

Another thought on Hotel quarantine.

Esterman points to recent changes to Victoria's hotel quarantine system, where all staff working in the program are employed or directly contracted by COVID-19 Quarantine Victoria (CQV), with the exception of cleaning staff who are on secure, fixed term contracts with Alfred Health.

I've had many long discussions on this topic with a very switched on Psychologist, we are the creations of our environment, particularly between the ages of 0 and 4.

Some are more curious than others, this drives a lot of knowledge, but for the most part people are creations of their upbringing.
Abour the only think that is hard wired into your personality is where you fall on the introversion/extroversion spectrum, and even then we can modify our natural inclination, introverts can learn to socialise, extroverts can learn to stop and be by themselves.
