Oh oh. This is just down the road from me. All the worrying ingredients. Medi-hotel worker. Big family. Lots of contacts. On the plus side we don’t have Dan Andrews and his bunch of clowns running the place. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Gladys proving again that she’s the most sensible Premier in the country. Disgraceful over-reaction by WA and QLD in particular.
I saw an article on the air ambulance running out of crew due to quarantining when coming back into Oz ..... you might get an opportunity for some overtime when you get back to "work"
Yes we’re dealing with all sorts of crew issues. Massive PITA. Remember our section has bases in SA and NT and flies between the two every day. In the jet we also often go to WA, NSW, VIC and sometimes QLD. Glad I’m not there at the moment! Chloe is involved in trying to work through this. I provide moral support from the couch, scotch in hand....
What I thought was particularly ridiculous was that the crew were using FULL PPE and were only picking up patients from overseas so hardly going there for a party BUT still had to do a full two weeks quarantine. I remember you wearing all that stuff when you went to Sicktoria , so did you or any of the crew have to do any quarantine ?
JM we do 24 hrs Quarantine after flying all over the world....That’s the US , Europe and everywhere else...We then live our normal lives ...ie Silvermine Bay etc for chilli squid... In 45000 tests on aircrew not one positive. I think I live a relatively normal life in HKG...It’s just a shame the rest of the world can’t use us as an example... It’s hard evidence....
Do you think that is influenced by screening all who board a plane; commercial flights are generally a guaranteed place to pick up bugs!
No Karen....What I’m saying is , after a London for example I quarantine for 24 hours ( in that time my spit test on arrival is screened ). I can then go to restaurants , bars etc and live normally in HKG..Our flight crew have not tested positive in over 45K tests....It shows if you do the right thing you minimise your risk. We are hard evidence and can produce the statistics that it works....So if it works for us why can’t you fly up to HKG do your spit test on arrival and Quarantine for 24 hours while you await your results...Then you are free to do your thing in HKG...Rinse and repeat for going back to Australia...
I think part of the problem is people who won’t follow the rules/ dodge or fudge the tests etc. IF everyone followed the rules (and we know HKers usually do) there wouldn’t be a problem... but then a Victorian footy team arrives and....
Just went to the shops. Queue at least 150m long out into the car park to get in to Woolies. Estimate wait of two hours just to get in. People coming out with trolleys full of toilet paper. I seriously wonder about the mentality of a large proportion of society. I went straight in to BWS, bought more wine and scotch, and came home like any sensible person would.
In Victoria IMO they are playing with the figures re testing claiming 3.5 million people have tested or 17,500 yesterday WTF why would you get tested if you felt ok. its suss .
See you are the smart one... You’ve got wine and scotch and you can use the couch to wipe your arse for a couple of months... Then call Moretti over for a scotch and he’ll wash your couch....
