Restricted to 5 miles for exercise - so me and mrs Notty went to Penarth sea front for some fresh air. She is shielded due to underlying health problems so a rare trip out

WTF is wrong with people.

In a country which has (I read) seen 43,000 covid related deaths?

Covid related, means anyone who coughed in the last month I think.

We've had people die of heart conditions they've had for decades & were always going to die of, but they add covid the death cert as it might have been involved. It's overhyped to hell. The hospital I work at covers roughly 252,000 people. Total cases 577 inpatients & 185 deaths. Now to me that doesn't sound anything like as many as this thing is being hyped up as. If you believed the government hype it'd be like the Black Death & kill a third of the population.

Doesn't help that one of the major advisors here has been proven wrong loads of times in the past. It's the same bloke who said 20million would die of Bird Flu, when I think total deaths were 391. He was utterly wrong about BSE too.

Two young women have been diagnosed with coronavirus in Queensland, Health Minister Steven Miles announced today.

One is believed to be a worker at the Parklands Christian College at Park Ridge. A criminal investigation will be launched because the two operated dishonestly on arrival.

Mr Miles reported they were two 19-year-old females who had travelled to Melbourne together via Sydney and returned on July 21 on flights VA563 and VA977.

One is from Acacia Ridge one from Logan, in Brisbane's southern suburbs.

Queensland Health were in the process of setting up rapid testing stations throughout southern Brisbane and those who had any concerns were encouraged to get tested.

"These young women have gone about their business in the communities they live in – so there will be a large amount of contact tracing to be done – largely within in the Logan and Springfield areas."

Mr Miles said, the women had visited shopping centres, a restaurant and a church in the area and Queensland Health contact tracers were investigating these leads.

Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said these young women's behaviour would inconvenience many people throughout the community, as the facilities they had visited would be closed until deep cleaning and contact tracing had been finalised.

Dr Young also announced that all aged-care facilities in Queensland's metro south area would once again be closed to visitors as an additional precaution.

"We need to act fast, these young women have been out in the community for eight days unwell," Dr Young said.

"If you have any concerns get your self tested as soon as possible and if you're unwell stay at home."

Deputy Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski said the circumstances of the young women's re-entry into Queensland from Melbourne was an ongoing criminal investigation.

"Initial investigations indicate there were incorrect details on border declaration passes," Mr Gollschewski said.

"This highlights why you need to declare if you've been to Victoria where there's been a high instance of community transmission.

"You need to think about those around you - not just yourself."

As we in the Bay of Plenty here in NZ snivel along in level 2 the Auckland area are in a paralising  level 3. Listening to the news this morning they are talking about making face covering/masks compulsory on public transport.
Never thought it would be made compulsory to wear a burqa 

[Hooli]

We've had compulsory face coverings on public transport for a while now. Yet another reason to never use it.
