I have no issue with DA taking a break. He'll be close enough to home to get back in need.
I still don't understand why there isn't a universal agreement about how to deal with the issues across borders. There should be agreement about what a certain number of cases means for cross-border travel. It feels as though WA are overreacting, New South Wales are not being strict enough. It is a real disappointment that the new year will start with these re-emerging threats but I guess that is what 'covid normal' really means. Happy New Year, stay safe, wash your hands and keep your distance.

I agree even as a WA resident, dont cane everyone, just use the 'intelligence' of contact tracing, post code(s) etc. |

Heard on the radio that covid 19 traces have been identified in sewerage at Lakes Entrance. Given this is a favourite summer playground for Melbournites, I think there's a good chance that the current cases in Vic will climb quickly in the next two weeks. I think there's a good chance that I won't be back in the office for a good while yet!
Clearly this virus doesn't recognise a change in the calender year, just as it doesn't recognise geographical boundaries.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT December 31st, 2020.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 24 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.200%. NSW recorded 17 cases, Queensland and Victoria recorded 3 each and WA/SA 2 each. 11 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.156% and active cases 49. The UK had a new record 55,892 cases yesterday and 964 deaths. Just under 235k new cases in the USA yesterday and another new high of 3,879 deaths sees CMR fall to 1.735% and active cases at 38.9% with the raw numbers rising and now over 7.8M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Africa sets a new daily high with 30,479 new cases (30/12); The USA completes 253M, India 172M, France 35M, Germany 34M and Saudi Arabia 11M tests. Latvia (1,861) - 36% above the high yesterday; UAE (1,730); Malaysia (2,525); Lebanon (3,507) - 22% above the high yesterday; Slovakia (6,315) - 56% above the previous high; Colombia (16,314); Czechia (16,939); South Africa (18,000); and UK (55,892) ... all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

I thought it was first found in 2019 also, but after looking, that's not correct

How Victoria's coronavirus outbreak spread from a Melbourne restaurant to Leongatha How did the outbreak begin? The first lead, a person who had returned from NSW and also dined at the restaurant, has returned a negative result for coronavirus. Two other people had been in Sydney for around 24 hours "a couple of weeks ago" before coming back to Victoria, and were close contacts of positive cases, Mr Weimar said. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-...break/13026068 |

I run a low body temperature. Always have - and it’s one big reason I dislike hot places.
But this week it’s been causing amusement while visiting people in hospital. The “COVID Concierge” tend to think their thermometer is faulty. They check me, look puzzled and they check their wrist, check me again, rap the thermometer butt on the counter and then - slightly mystified - tell me my temperature is low. |

Provided it’s screened for privacy and done by a qualified person, no problem. If I expect my animals to put up with it, so should I.

I'm not sure how they will enforce it though because apart from mentioning a police presence on the Federal Hwy there are other routes in. |
