Journos in NSW covid question time asking the hard questions:

"Is it possible you can't find the case source for the Avalon super spreader because they are the case source, possibly because they are returned travellers from the US and were exempted from mandatory quarantine" or something to that effect

Cue health Hazzard bumbling and spluttering in annoyance because clearly he'd been caught out lmao

We're at 83 known cases and gently caress knows how many unknown ones because businesses weren't keeping the required records.

If we went hard now we could probably still contain it but the will to go hard seems to be lacking.

I'm still unclear how the g### coast has avoided a major outbreak given there are a couple of really high profile studio jobs being shot there this year with some big name seppo actors flying in and out on exemptions.

Presumably the industry has taken the absolute free reign they have a bit seriously wrt testing and procedures and stuff but also the grunts in the field are all the worst kind of natural health fuckwits taking no precautions in their day to day lives

I guess those might work similar to the NRL where people were in their own little isolation bubble before travelling and aren't allowed to be interacting with the general public? But I'm just not cynical or morbidly depressed enough to understand how airport security, presumably the remit of the federal government, has the policy of allowing cunts from a covid hotbed to just wander off into the community without quarantine.

It's always some oval office that breaks quarantine, and they never throw the book at them.

If you break quarantine and cause an outbreak you should be thrown in jail/fined heavily.

Yeah adding a punishment just means people will be bigger sneaks. Why get tested if it’ll cost you cash or freedom? Better just wait and lay low a few weeks. Maybe go a few cafes and a massage.

Where are you reading that in this instance businesses have been failing with keeping records? From everything I've seen the Northern Beaches is taking this quite seriously and they've been able to get on top of contract tracing pretty quickly.

Among the latest venues to be visited by a confirmed case is the Salon for Hair in Turramurra on Sydney's north shore. The business has been linked to five infections.

Anyone who attended the salon between December 15 and 18 needs to be tested and self-isolate for 14 days.

"We believe we have contacted the vast majority of people, but some people had incorrect or eligible contact details," she said.

"Please prompt your friends and relatives to check whether they attended on those days, follow the advice and get tested immediately and self-isolate if you're one or two people who we haven't managed to track down."

quote:

Health Minister Brad Hazzard said contact-tracing efforts had been hampered by people who had lied when checking in to venues.

"What we are finding is that some of the visitors to various venues still think that it is funny to be caught putting in there that you're Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse or a false phone number. That must stop," he said.

"This is a worldwide COVID pandemic and thinking it's smart to call yourself Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse is about as stupid as it gets. So that must cease."

The Premier also scolded people who thought they were being funny.

"We do have, I believe, one of the best if not the best contact tracing team on the planet. But they can't contact trace people if they don't have the details," she said.
