My money is on an adult services worker who saw both an infected client (possibly air crew on the sly) and someone close to the drummer.

Now President Macron of France, is positive for coronavirus. As a Francophile, this naturally concerns me.
Closer to home, I’ve just now received an “urgent” email from EdCon steel, informing of some immediate branch closures starting tomorrow for safety. This would not be a decision they took lightly in respect to the time of year. I hope H&G have got a similar plan, it’s a riot in there too. |

the thing that defeats lockdowns is always money..
Regardless of how they try to put the blame on regular idiots, some rich fool flies in and they get waved right through. Actor, politician, dopey paris hilton type whatever Here in the states every governor or congresscritter goes on tv and lectures us about staying home for the holiday and then hops on a plane and goes wherever they feel like going. The rules only apply to proles |

The saving grace here is that Sydneysiders tend to be geographic hermits- if you live in the East, you never cross Anzac Parade, if you live in the Inner West, you never cross the Bridge/Anzac Parade and if you live in the Northern Beaches, you never travel further south than Brookvale.

I don't mind Franco either, even tho I don't agree with all of his views. Don't know that I'd call myself a 'Francophile' tho.
![]() Mind you, with your earlier post about an adult services worker, I see the link ![]()

It’s starting to look like my hypothesis is at least 50% right.

California is probably our most locked down state and it has a ridiculous number of cases .
I've been seeing some graphs posted that show the curves for the number of cases are about the same for other states that don't lockdown. |

So the NSW outbreak went from 1 to 3 - 4 to 16.....and now 10. Odd numbers.
Really bad timing, week before Christmas. No doubt some already infected would have already traveled and be in other states before the restrictions were applied. A bit annoyed at Vic's slow response, asking Christmas travelers to be good citizens and stay at home (probably not even their home) for 14 days ain't going to work. |

I don't know of any country that has had an uncontrolled wave of Covid in summer.
I'm hopeful we will get on top of it, sooner rather than later. In the meantime it may be prudent to stock up on TP ![]()

Data valid as at 23:59 GMT December 17th, 2020.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 15 new cases for Australia and 0 deaths so the CMR is 3.235%. NSW recorded 9 cases, the NT 2 and both WA & Queensland recorded 1 each. No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.190% and active cases 43. The UK had a new record 35,383 cases yesterday and 532 deaths. Just over 251k new cases in the USA yesterday and a new record 3,560 deaths sees CMR drop to 1.804% and active cases drop to 39.7% with the raw numbers rising and now over 6.9M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases pass 75M with the last 1M in 1 day; Global cases set a new daily high of 726,923 (16/12); Global deaths set a new daily high of 13,558 (16/12); Brazil recorded it's 2nd and 3rd highest daily totals this week; passes M cases; North America passes 20M cases; North America records a new daily case high with 275,688 (17/12); The USA completes 228M, India 157M, Russia 84M, UK 49M, Germany 31M, France 29M and M tests. Syria (156); Uruguay (543); Nigeria (1,145) - 23% above the high yesterday; Latvia (1,040); Japan (3,061); Denmark (4,034); Sweden (8,815) - 14% above the previous high; Netherlands (12,779); Germany (30,951) and; UK (35,383) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.

That doesn’t worry me; it’s personal choice. But I’m not happy about the prospect of “stranded” interstate travellers demanding assistance to return in a fortnight when they’ve launched into a questionable venture of their own volition.

Yes, but you are but one individual and I can guarantee it worries many more, especially those that don't live in Sydney but are trying to get home....two way street remember.....

Apparently there's a mass exodus out of Sydney by road too. There's no road checkpoints anywhere so people who were due to fly interstate for Christmas this weekend, have hit the road instead.
The airports, including regional airports, are being screened for passengers from NSW. But there's nothing stopping them from driving interstate? |

Summary of restrictions
AAP has this good rundown of the current state of play on travel restrictions for NSW: https://www.theguardian.com/australi...sa-tasmania-nt Quote:

So far, 47 flights from from Sydney have arrived in Melbourne today. Including passengers from the northern beaches of Sydney!
They have volunteered to self isolate at home. Yeah.. see how that goes. edit: https://twitter.com/9NewsMelb/status...35872661557249 Last edited by Tickford.; 18-12-2020 at 05:56 PM. |

Thirteen airline crew, who travelled to Sydney from South America, have breached self-isolation directions. They have been issued Penalty Infringement Notices, and as of next Tuesday, international aircrews will now quarantine in two designated hotels near Sydney Airport. https://www.9news.com.au/national/co...=Social-9NewsB How were they allowed, or able to to breach self-isolation directions? Why are they able to travel freely among the community after arriving from South America, which is on fire with COVID?? ![]() Gladys Berejiklian really is in a tough spot isn't she? She knows she needs to follow Victoria's lead, and introduce mandatory mask wearing, enforce restrictions, or even lockdown the state right NOW! But that's kind of hard when you're part of the LNP that criticised every step that Dan Andrews made, and self proclaimed to be the 'Golden Standard State' of Australia. |

Hopefully, this cluster results in zero. No nobody wants to see anything more.
Curious, why the smiley face with a thumbs up after you refer to the number of deaths? Is there a competition for the number of deaths that you find amusing? |
