From what the GP I recently saw said, they’d be ecstatic if a pushy patient went elsewhere.
![]() The NSW system can be “gamed” as the burden of proof for being a carer is not at all rigorous or required to be checked. I have heard directly - not anecdotally - of this occurring. |

You need to manage the appointments, the vaccine management, the consultation, then the after care. Some GPs are claiming that the consultation alone can take 15 to 20 mins for patients with a long medical history. Basically they are running at a loss, but are willing to take the hit for the greater good.

Perth records positive community-transmitted coronavirus case on day one of lockdown The WA Health Department has confirmed a positive COVID test result has been returned from a person within the community on day one of Perth's snap lockdown. The man in his 40s presented for a COVID-19 test on Friday as he had gone to one of the locations visited by the COVID-positive Victorian case. WA Health said the new positive case had attended the Kitchen Inn in Kardinya, but that all restaurants where cases had dined were "higher risk". Anyone who went to any of the five restaurants listed on the Healthy WA website must get tested and self-isolate for 14 days from the date of their exposure. The restaurants deemed "higher risk" are: Morley: Kung Fu Kitchen April 21 5:00pm - 7:00pm Northbridge: Good Fortune Roast Duck House, April 19, 5:00pm – 8:00pm Northbridge: City China Garden, April 20, 5:00pm – 8:00pm Northbridge: Fortune Five Chinese Restaurant, April 18, 5:30pm – 7:00pm Kardinya: Kitchen Inn, 19/17-23 South Street, April 18, 12:00pm – 2:00pm East Victoria Park: Anything La Corner, U5-6/910 Albany Highway, April 17, 5:30pm – 8:00pm https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-...erth/100093168 |

No new local cases in the last 24 hours for VIC. Signs look good. So far anyway.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT April 24th, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 30 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.069%. 1 new case and 0 deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.000% and active cases 33. The UK had a lower 2,061 cases yesterday and 32 deaths. Just over 67k new cases in the USA yesterday and 853 deaths sees CMR at 1.787%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: (weekend reporting) Global cases pass 147M, the last 1M in 1 day; Global deaths pass 3.1M, the last 50k in 4 days; Global cases set a new daily high of 897,839 (23/4); Asia sets a new daily high of 485,859 cases (23/4); India sets a new global record for daily cases (349,313); Costa Rica (1,830); Thailand (2,839); and India (349,313) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average while none drop below.

The last week has seen 1800+ new cases per day Twice... (both are records) As from Monday, driving restrictions are back! (Odds & evens weekends + 9pm-5am curfew!) Govcos reasoning behind this is to reduce motor accidents that inundated hospital system simply can’t cope with.. (IC beds are presently at 99% due to Covid)

The thing I don't understand is why we are basically not allowed to leave, it seems to be ok to allow others to come here. |

I know a few people that have left to live overseas in the past 8 months. They had no issues at all.

My employer has organised a crew (11) to go to Singapore next month to pick up a ship and return to Darwin, the amount of carp they and the individuals have had to go through is mind boggling, so glad I'm on the opposite swing...

Here's a snippet from the Department of Home Affairs website for permanent residents: Australians and permanent residents If you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident you cannot leave Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions unless you have an exemption. You can apply online but you must meet at least one of the following:
Read the full details here: https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/leaving-australia Yep, Morrison and his goons didn't even want to get involved when people wanted to cross state boarders on urgent medical grounds last year, when the state borders were closed (playing political games), but they allow people to leave the country to get married?? ![]() ![]() Last edited by Tickford.; 26-04-2021 at 12:43 PM. |

Western Bulldogs now 6-zip...
I think under humanitarian grounds it’s imperative that I can return for the grannie in Sept! Quarantine preferences...Anglers Tavern or Westwaters... At a pinch Taylors Lakes hotel.

![]() My bro in law recently flew back from the US and I don't think he needed to apply for anything. His biggest challenge was finding a seat without having to sell a kidney. Its the number of airline seats available that is holding things up. And that ultimately comes down to quarantine capacity. |

All the states have the same problems with quarantine but some just get on with it and others just want to offload onto others.
I agree that by now we should have proper dedicated facilities but that is the same ****en problem for everyone. I should note that ACT is not going to take anymore flights since there are not that many ACT residents waiting. We will pay probably NSW to handle it.

McGowan is 10,000% correct but he ain't going to win this battle. So best to just cop the criticisms, keep calm and carry on.
We know the drill now. If/when there is leak, and its in the community, use the snap lock downs to give yourself time. It has worked every single time. Ignoring cheap jibes coming out of a certain state tends to help too ![]() |

OK, I have a theory, purely me 'farting in the wind'.
What if the only thing that will actually stop this is herd immunity, whether through infection, or immunisation ? Sounds like a reasonable assumption. Then what is the purpose of masks, physical distancing, lockdown ? From an individual perspective It can only be to delay personal infection until personal vaccination or herd immunity or perhaps until there are more hospital beds available. From a community perspective it can only be to wait for immunisation or manage the number in care. The negative of more extreme masks, physical distance, lockdown is evident in India, and Michigan - we have pushed all the cases as far forward as the population can tolerate, and now we have a deferred uncontrolled explosion. My postulation: If 1) hospitals are not nearing any limit, and 2) the vulnerable are getting vaccinated, masking and lonely, then, for everybody else, lets forget Masks, physical distance, lockdown. Allow naturally acquired herd immunity of the strong to grow. |

That’s what the original plan was. Flatten the curve so the hospitals could keep things under control. The problem was managing that curve as the virus was so infectious. But eventually that is what will happen. Vaccinations and infections should get us to herd immunity. The big question for me is the rate at which we are vaccinating. We are at risk of being left behind globally as other nations open up sooner. We won’t be ready.
