TOPIC:

People would have a go at the premier for not following other states in protocols for security guards, that is the issue, we dodged a bullet cos he wasn’t prepared.
Simple as that, he has no idea about planning, he is just reactionary and panicked because he knew he was responsible for the stuff up

Yes but if there was another case next week do we go into another lockdown again! If another one follows that several weeks later do we have another lockdown? McGowan and Cook have milked the politics of fear for all that it is worth.

Imagine if there HAD been community transition and he’d chosen not to do a lockdown and it spread everywhere, what position would small businesses be in then? He’d be lynched. He doesn’t have a crystal ball. With the partisan nature of politics (especially on ozfooty) you’re damned if you do damned if you don’t. Lose lose.
It’s time for a federal approach to quarantine because it appears Covid is hanging around the world for a while yet.

A 5 day lockdown is not going to stop community transmission if any other person who might have the virus is asymptomatic ToOl. Serve your 5 days, go back into the community and potentially be a super spreader whilst 80% of the state's population including small business owners have been locked inside for nothing.

Some research was done this week by medical scientists. They found out by giving a shot of Pfizer. Than a booster jab a few months later. Of an alternative medicine manufacturer .That could cure the new strains of covid-19..So let's wait for a vaccine jab .As it's the only way we can get back to normal..Most bad viruses and pandemics from previous eras don't even make us sick anymore.Covid -19 will be the same in 10 years..

Was absolutely spewing last night .Finding out we have to wear face masks another week.But with the health and economic costs of Covid.No thanks in Wa.

Quoted from the Mayo Clinic

Most people who have coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recover completely within a few weeks. But some people — even those who had mild versions of the disease — continue to experience symptoms after their initial recovery.

These people sometimes describe themselves as "long haulers" and the condition has been called post-COVID-19 syndrome or "long COVID-19."

Older people and people with many serious medical conditions are the most likely to experience lingering COVID-19 symptoms, but even young, otherwise healthy people can feel unwell for weeks to months after infection. The most common signs and symptoms that linger over time include:

Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Cough
Joint pain
Chest pain
Other long-term signs and symptoms may include:

Muscle pain or headache
Fast or pounding heartbeat
Loss of smell or taste
Memory, concentration or sleep problems
Rash or hair loss

Organ damage caused by COVID-19
Although COVID-19 is seen as a disease that primarily affects the lungs, it can damage many other organs as well. This organ damage may increase the risk of long-term health problems. Organs that may be affected by COVID-19 include:

Heart. Imaging tests taken months after recovery from COVID-19 have shown lasting damage to the heart muscle, even in people who experienced only mild COVID-19 symptoms. This may increase the risk of heart failure or other heart complications in the future.
Lungs. The type of pneumonia often associated with COVID-19 can cause long-standing damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The resulting scar tissue can lead to long-term breathing problems.
Brain. Even in young people, COVID-19 can cause strokes, seizures and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis. COVID-19 may also increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

I realise this is early stuff but the cost is not just now but long term health costs and not $'s but for folk and their lives but hey keep complaining and sooking!

A couple of work mates who have had friends and relatives .Cured from covid overseas,UK+Ireland.Are still feeling not right months later..

Correct GTRX its a very simple game plan we are adhering too which is minimizing the spread of infections till we all get vaccinated which is hopefully just around the corner,and my biggest concern is the efficacy of the Pommy vaccine which is rated around the 60% mark which is a bit of a worry.

If that’s the game plan what happened to the game plan for security guards ?
Non existent and ended up causing a lockdown.
Responsibility of the premier ?

I'm sure the minister for health is responsible,McGowan is the Premier he can't over see every minute detail from a portfolio he's delegated to someone else.

Minute detail ?
Like information discussed at national cabinet and recommendations that were not put in place straight away ?
Yeh, can’t be the premiers responsibility

I'm afraid you and Fat Clive are in a minority trying to pot a premier who had a 90% approval rating late last year and unless his popularity has dipped 40% in the last couple of months,i'm afraid you will have to endure Mark. MCgowan after the next state election for another few years
