I'm suspect on their effectiveness given the current increasing case numbers.

It's all a bit bull**** IMO - been a week now with masks and numbers are higher than ever.

But I figure there's a bit of a lag on the results, up to 5-7 days for results, time for people to develop symptoms and get tested etc - what time period are these 700+ new cases from?

Stats this week are from actions over the past 2+ weeks.

And it's only effective if people use them. While we have people like Karen refusing to follow the guidelines, it puts everyone at risk.

The two young women that were diagnosed with Covid yesterday were in Melbourne eight days ago. It is alleged they lied about their travels when they returned to Qld. One is co-operating with authorities and has disclosed the places she has visited since her return. The other has refused to disclose this information.
One of the schools affected is in my neighbourhood and there is some discussion around here about how many days in a cell might be necessary to bring about the required "attitude adjustment" Most are a bit open ended about that.
