The non reporting of positive RAT tests and those people still going to work or still mingling with the community is most likely one of the main contributors fuelling the spread of this virus in Aus and most likely over the "Ditch" as well.
Human nature is what it is I suppose[bigwhistle]

Human Nature once again.
You may also be forgetting that some of the spread can be attributed to those who do not know they have it and are actually going about their daily stuff while also unwittingly spreaders.
When eldest daughter gave it to us she was pretty much non symptomatic at the time and had dismissed her symptoms as hayfever. She has done quite a few RATs since with the same hayfever symptoms, tested out of caution and come up negative every time.Quote:

Masking up may not be compulsory - it may be very very smart as is that 3rd dose for those who have not. A kid with covid coping another variant a few weeks later is not an isolated case. A LOT of cancelled appointments due to they have Covid and have deferred for 6 weeks is killing me. I was scheduling Flu vax for the end of April[bigsad] Double TAP vax ???
The waste water testing has BA2 at 50% here. Ba BA 1 is having its butt kicked in under a week or three! Did I mention get your 3rd dose? [thumbsupbig]
well I had a covid swab and 2 rat's last week, which were negative.
but repeat it next week and it could be positive
What do you mean 3rd dose , there are many thousands of Australians that haven't even had their first dose yet.
Fortunately the majority of Australians are much smarter than that and have had at least their 2nd dose and a goodly percentage of them have also had their 3rd dose as well.
Unfortunately they havent developed a vaccine for "Stupid" yet[bigwhistle]
a vaccine for "Stupid" No money or time to donate to that sorry[biggrin] https://knowyourphrase.com/wp-conten...=ng:webp/ngcb1Quote:

Thank your Nurse, Doctors, Paramedics. reception, porters, cleaners and cooks. delivery drivers and yourself! Stuff those practice managers- tossers [biggrin]
Well. I'm at a loose end, at the moment. I'd be prepared to volunteer as a vaccine testee. [thumbsupbig]Quote:

Meanwhile, UK has reportedly cleared the way for a 4th dose...
How did we survive the 2017 'flu season ? - with over 1,200 directly attributed deaths, - going to over 4,000 when pneumonia was included.
