Hate bumping this thread but the Chinese are now being asked to test before they come here. The obvious question is why?
Australian government announces COVID-19 testing requirements for travellers from China
Australia is to introduce COVID-19 test requirements for arrivals from China — after skyrocketing COVID-19 case numbers — joining a range of other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States and France.www.abc.net.au
Apparently? It's possibly something like that but the lack of information coming out of China is being used as the reasoning by the Gov..Is that a rhetorical question? New strain is apparently rampant in China.
Article in today's Hun regarding the variant most heavily affecting the U.S.A. at the moment n it listed six variant / sub variant strains. Gawd only knows how many variations of the covid virus the boffins have actually found since the *smile* circus started or how many more will roll through once this new outbreak in China finishes mutating.What I don't understand is if a supposed new variant is so bad then it will have already leaked out of China to most countries already & will be spreading merrily everywhere anyway. It won't matter what race you are. It can come into Australia from any country.
What are they from?Massive excess deaths are happening for a reason, and it ain’t covid.
Planes with no windows?What are they from?
Faulty tin foil hats.What are they from?
Think it’s a conduction issue. Lot of Covid nay sayers and conspiracy theorists are making their own faulty, home made versions and falling victim to electrical contraction. Serious problem.Lead poisoning?
What are they from?
Sorry that you've got it again Red.Well, as Victorians get warned today of new waves of Covid it’s ironic I test positive this morning. Second time up for me after a bout in July last year.
Pretty sure I caught it coming back from NYC on the plane last Saturday. 17 hours of dozens of chronically sick, barfing, coughing, sneezing people not wearing masks will probably do it.
It was so bad that everyone else on the plane that wasn’t sick (like me and my partner) had to mask up. But not these sick, belligerent aholes. Nah. That’d be too much to ask for.

Or we could just stop worrying about it and get on with life.
I won’t be going anywhere near another vaccine, and certainly won’t be wearing a mask again.

Under 60 set it's basically non-existent.Is mask wearing in Melb is practically non-existent now? I'm heading down for a 4 week stint in Melbourne and wondering whether to pack the masks...
