More than 40 COVID cases across greater Sydney since DEC. 16 .
Forty-three COVID-19 cases have been detected in people living in Greater Sydney outside the northern beaches outbreak epicentre this month, stoking fears that any lapse in vigilance would allow undetected chains of transmission to fester in secret.
Another two cases are in residents on the Central Coast, bringing the total number of cases outside the northern beaches to 45.

I put this in WALRUS, but everyone should read this.
This is terrible. From the USA.
Meredith Case: Today was the worst day anyone has ever seen, but tomorrow will be worse. We are on the precipice of rationing. Needless to say, these decisions run counter to everything we stand for and are incredibly painful.
Mary Macdonald: I didn’t choose nursing or the health care field to not help people, and that’s exactly what the choices are that they’re giving us. They’re giving us no choice but to help only the people that they think can survive.
Rob Davidson: In addition to our own safety, some of us have faced—and others will face—decisions we never thought possible in this country. We are making life-or-death decisions not based on research, data and evidence...but based on a lack of ventilators.
Esther Choo: This country is beginning to feel like the devil’s romper room

While not based on any medical evidence, personally, I would like to see the Quarantine period set at 3 or 4 weeks or as in the old quarantine days of 40 days just to be quite sure. Selfish? Quite probably but hey..... if this keeps up the only living things in my wardrobe will be Cockroaches.:rolleyes:Quote:

Quarantine derives from a Venetian practice of 40 days detention or compulsory isolation for ships and people to prevent the spread of contagious diseases.
Yobs who cannot respect the Country's laws & conditions? "Right sunshine, you're out of here yesterday if not sooner. You can swim home for all I care. See if you can have a good time with a Ventilator or when you are dead."
Selfish ******.:rulez:
This will not be the last pandemic the World will see. Hotel quarantine is our weak link , it's becoming obvious. Peel Island in Moreton Bay, used to be Brisbane's quarantine station in the days of sail. It was also a leper colony, for a while. We could do worse than set it up as a quarantine station once more. Demountables, and a military field hospital, when needed wouldn't break the bank. It would be more comfortable for the quarantined, they would be able to walk in designated areas until tested positive. The place is shark infested, which would make good security. [bigwhistle] To me, after this is over, who would book into a hotel that was used for quarantine.? Just like going on a cruise ship, it would have a stigma. To justify building it it could be used as a low security prison, until needed for the other. Must ring Lock-em-out Anna, run it by her.[thumbsupbig]Quote:

If there is not much learned from this they have wasted valuable time.
Maybe these people could be paid on the results they achieve. If they turn out rubbish, "You're fired". No Pay.
Peel looks the business for Quarantine purposes.Quote:
