Yeah, I did wonder, being a pic in the media they likely just grabbed an old picture and ran is as if it was current.

You mean "international" flights from India ? Or, Indian airline carriers are suspended but Qantas, not ?
Sorry, neither, was meant to be Commercial. I'll change that now.
States just as weak for not pushing back. They pick and choose too.
Brett Lee has donated a bitcoin (worth $70K) for oxygen to Indian hospitals.
Probably. But leadership was required and scomo demurred. Discretion the better part of valour and all that.
Situation in India not projected to peak until mid-May. Curve starting to roll over. Not sure whether it's because they've reached their counting capacity.
Victorian CHO said yesterday that the numbers reported are more like 2 million cases a day than the 350k officially reported. Terrifying.
Yep it suggests that their testing numbers and deaths numbers are well below what they really are.
This article talks about the situation, scroll to the bottom and there is the following paragraph.
India Covid: Delhi builds makeshift funeral pyres as deaths climb
India's capital struggles to find space to cremate its dead during the second wave of the pandemic.
www.bbc.com
"An investigation by television station NDTV found at least 1,150 extra deaths which were not included in Delhi's official Covid count over the last week. Other investigations have found similar examples of undercounting replicated around the country."
Roughly 20,000 deaths last week. If Delhi has an extra 1,150 deaths, then the real number across the whole country could be around twice the number of deaths than what is being reported, and this is likely to keep increasing with their low levels of available oxygen.
Disagree. States & Feds held a national conference to decide how to tackle the whole pandemic & it has work extremely well. Look at how well Aust sits to the rest of the world.
Vic stuff up HQ and had they not, the figures would have been fantastic compared to the world. Ultimately the feds mightve been responsible but the setup in Aust was agreed by all (States & feds but we dont know the full extent why they(Feds) couldn't but the States would know. One snipet that came out recently the army bases werent/arent equipped to cope & States were aware.
Wish that was relayed to us all from the start. Communication failures as mentioned. Agree
States & Feds would have discussed everything on the abilities of the country to manage HQ, border closures &all. You had empty hotels & funds were fed into them to support. States didnt push back. McG imo was completely out of line recently when he knows what he had agreed too from the start & why. I dont get the bs media not asking the right Qs on his statement. McG gets a few cases using a hotel that had similar issues to the Vic one (ventiliation). Sorry dont accept his deflection of his failures too.

Russia, China hyped safety concerns to sow distrust in Western vaccines, EU report says
From December to April, the two countries’ state media outlets pushed fake news online in multiple languages sensationalising vaccine safety concerns.
The State government here in WA are still adding exposure locations to the list of where the Patients 985 and 986 have been and yet they lifted lockdown.
They haven't completed contact tracing for the new sites and yet they lifted lockdown.
Strikes me as a tad strange

Some interesting stats on international comings and goings in March.

WA now;
3 community infections last weekend - no crowd at the football
3 new community infections this weekend - 45000 at the fottball because it's the Derby
Masks off for 2 days, now masks back on
Complete and utter buffoonery

Does seem strange Althorn.
Presser at midday Vic time, rumour is that if its another 3 today, they will have no crowds or go into lockdown.
The virus has a lot of different strains now, not good.
Not sure the vaccine is the be all and end all.
I predict another very short lockdown in Victoria in a few weeks, covid is in wastewater everywhere (small doses)
