£2.50 each , that's a bargain. In Queensland Australia if that happened and rules didn't permit at the time probably somebody going to the big house for a couple of months to think about things. Our first covid 19 prisoner threw a house party , got a £750 fine (approximately). He or she , not sure decided to do the same thing the next day and got 2 months prison.

It doesn't surprise me the state that you mentioned. They delayed data in October up until after the presidential election, said it was about checking their systems for reporting or something. The date it occurred must have been a remarkable coincidence.

January 23 Wuhan was locked down completely, no commercial flights. The number of cases outside of Wuhan was really low so no more than 100 cases would have got out through other air flights and also it was known it was around the world on January 21 anyway. The majority of cases to leave China would likely be repatriation flights , that is governments evacuating their citizens and then not quarantining them. Could China have acted a little quicker noting that they locked down Wuhan when it got 600 daily cases, UK and US never locked down anywhere.

One little mouse lol that I have seen. The tennis players and crew are the scary possibly diseased ones. Rodents can catch it but no idea how difficult because they ran tests on them earlier on.

@VictorCopeland Trump evacuated people from Wuhan and didn't quarantine them. Achieved nothing , in fact probably jump started the spread. To be fair in the beginning Fauci was singing from the same hymn book. The second superspreader event was all those people rushing back to the US from Europe mostly through NY because flights being stopped soon.

You don't want an antibody test, they are useless unless you only want 99% accuracy which isn't good enough if you want to stop the virus. Australia and New Zealand won't use them, I think they might have some in hospitals or ambulances for emergencies however with so few cases probably never been used.

@clarejohnson9265 at least your country as a whole is still doing a lot better than the US. But as we know that can change quickly if some of the faster transmissible strains get a hold, best of luck.

Every country has that problem to a point, even Australia. It's not our politicians breaking rules but allowing movie stars and performers to quarantine where they choose instead of the cattle class hotel quarantine for everyone else.

@RussCR5187 It's not about freedoms at all, the same people who argue about masks tend to be fully in favor of holding 400,000 health prisoners who's crime is to ignore a government health direction, drugs. A drug taker does no direct harm to anyone. This is about control of ideology and or convincing one's self that they are in control . They just want to show that they are more powerful. I am in Australia and no real partisan issues here. Yes a few antimaskers but not a lot. Where I am have only had a mask mandate for 2 weeks out of the entire time but when it did exist the majority complied.

I would encourage you to listen to the most recent Osterholm Update. He explains how so far no evidence of the vaccines killing anyone, just they die of heart attack or whatever which they would have died of anyway. They will keep checking of course as deaths occur within short time periods of getting the jab to see if anything is missed.

I just read a news article, apparently in South Korea and Hong Kong they use those ankle bracelet things. The case numbers in many countries it's impossible to monitor and no space to put them into hospitals or hotels. Infected people in my state of Queensland usually picked up in hotel quarantine are encouraged into hospitals as a quarantine measure. Compared to staying in hotel quarantine it's probably a nice change if they have the same entertainment options.

@CabinGirl57 In Australia in general a single has to pay around $2,800 AUD for the hotel quarantine in most cases unless for compassionate reasons they forgive that, extra people it's $600 per person about for food. It is run by our states so pricing is not all exactly the same. It's my memory that Taiwan actually started hotel quarantine first in our region after some returned traveller breached the home quarantine causing a bit of an outbreak and other countries quick to follow but Europe and US still don't do it. With our hotel quarantine I think a bit of luck how good or bad but it's very strict in Queensland , maybe everywhere now and can't leave room at all, before they might let people out of the room for short periods. Taiwan has done very well of course but like the rest of us quarantine breaches where a hotel worker gets infected can happen anytime because impossible to completely eliminate risk. Best of luck and hope our countries manage to have continued success.
