A plane flew to Melbourne last week from India and all passengers in hotel quarantine now.

Scoop makes a valid point though. Whilst the Fed’s moderate support has finally come through after a week, this state lockdown can’t last too long this time. Livelihoods are now being genuinely affected & that’s of great concern to our social stability.
The vaccine roll out needs to truly be at warp speed. That’s why hearing that we are running out of Pfizer vaccines is so concerning.

didn't know a 4 hour drive was possible in denmark, its tiny, traffic?It's interesting to compare how the countries react. We had 954 new infections yesterday (total population 5.8 million) and that figure has been around 1,000 for weeks. But the government appears OK with it as long as the hospitalizations are manageable - and they are.
22% are fully vaccinated, 38% have had their first shot (me included).
Think how Australia would be re-acting with figures like that. And Denmark is opening up! I went to a family Christening recently with about 50-odd people there. Hadn't seen the wife's family for almost a year (four hour drive away). There had actually been three births in the family in that time. You needed a corona-passport to get in and had to wear a mask if you were not sitting down eating.
Lockdowns are happening on a regional basis.
edit. looked it up, smaller than I thought, size of 2 or 3 NT cattle stations!

One-fifth the size of Victoria in geographic area but there are islands, peninsulas and waterways everywhere that makes driving somewhat less than direct.
I just google-mapped it --- Hundested to Store Darum. It's 304 kms and three and three-quarter hours.
They say there is nowhere in Denmark that is more than 50 kms from the nearest coast.
I don't argue with this. But when / how soon becomes the issue. What constitutes a reasonable number of weekly arrivals? We are hearing 10000 IN India but how many in other parts of Asia, Europe even the now utopic USA and UK. They all have the right to return but what is the rate we should aim for?
Is it also a right for an Australian to be be able to leave of their own volition (and return on demand) ?
You have been in and out of Aus more frequently than a Hollywood actor. I just worked out I haven't left Vic since May 2018 (family issues for two years) now my trip to see us play Suns I'm a month is looking very shaky.
Well all we need to do now is find the Chairman of the Private Security Guard meeting.
I heard it took 47 days for first 1m doses ..too slow yes. Next 1m 13 days. Much faster? Fast enough?
What rate is acceptable to you TOO?
The adults should be yeah. Kids should get parents/guardians approval first.
This will be the next Desal plant. Fox will be pocketing rent for 20 years and all he has to do is pay a cleaner and a security guard to stop squatters moving in.From all reports it appears that the faux plan to build a joint at Mickelham is coming to fruition with the impending announcement it'll be down Geelong way....
cunning as foxes these politicians of all persuasions!
Gerry the van man will also be extremely chuffed...
There is some serious coin being made by a few 'great Australians' during the pandemic
I had AZ 1 today. Emailed my doc Tuesday to get in queue half an hour later get a call saying come in Thursday.
Asked the nurse are they still getting 50.a week and she said 150 but they only take 100 as they haven't got the resources to do more as their patients don't put their ongoing medical needs on hold.
That would apply to industry as a whole...who are all these nurses sitting around doing nothing that can be press ganged into a year long vaccination drive? It's not just a vaccine supply issue.
