Anybody arriving in NZ or Brisbane where the aircraft transited en route to NZ, I assume an Emirate flight will, if leaving to get off in NZ or Oz have gone into mandatory Quarantine.
Even if they quarantine though they don't float in an airtight bubble to quarantine. They still touch things, get in cars and go through doors on their way. As long as people are entering the country there is the chance for a small amount of cases which isn't a problem if there are still social distancing measures to keep the R rate below zero but all it takes is for someone to touch the same door knob and then go to a sports event and then you're back into exponential growth and lockdown measures again.
They stopped twice enroute it says in the article i put up. So already its been spread everywhere 3 times on and off an aircraft would have been enough to spread it.
they never go away, without human intervention. Even then, I think it’s only smallpox that we’ve managed to eradicate. more common is people develop immunity they get milder, resurface periodically. Which is what has happened with other coronaviruses.
R below zero sounds like a good strategy- you could walk round uninfecting people - or given the great British public maybe that should be disinfecting people trump will be recommending spraying your neighbours with cillit bang.
Sorry Tom I know you meant 1. They take quite a lot of precautions between the planes and the quarantine hotel but there are sometimes local transmissions as a result. So far we have had 2 identified local infections caused by the several thousand returning Australians.
One of the best factual posts on here I have seen in a long while..... does anyone want to challenge these points?????
Is this trivial enough for you eric? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-in-military-after-covid-19-quarantine-fiasco
Is there a point that you are trying to make? There was a failing in the NZ system and they are asking a senior military figure to examine their processes and make sure this doesn't happen again. They thought that their systems were OK but obviously not as good as they thought so they are going to get them better. How is the UK doing?
We are doing as i expected lots of idiots crowding in to shops started yesterday. We though do not claim to be winning and celebrating prematurely. No pubs or restaurants or clubs etc open here. I can only imagine it will be a free for all when they do. So to answer your question there is a sizeable minority intent on undoing the work and dedication of the majority. So we will keep getting this virus back untile it dies down like other viruses. We have lots of countries within easy reach of our island so i expect more infections and deaths.
That's not good news. I'm in Oz not NZ and we are not celebrating. We had 21 new cases in Victoria, 15 or which were returning citizens in isolation and 1 new case in NSW and QLD but both in quarantine. The rest of the states had no new cases. We still have a few hundred people with the virus but we are getting there, but it's going to be a long haul.
I would not rather go in a pub anymore. I can have lots of bar visits on holiday and in more pleasent surroundings.
When the pubs reopen, it's going to take a lot of getting used to the 25ml measures of malt, rather than the 150ml measures my local is serving now.
