fifo workers prob have more freedom traveling to and from the state than they have working on site as they'd have to be fully vaxed anyways to work for both the companys wants as well as the states
all mines are now wanting full vax from their workers last ive heard , even our trucks have been told same delivering to mine sites

As Gasoline quoted I do not give a toss when your state opens up as I have already visited it many times and probably will visit in the future when we all get back to some normality.
I feel sorry for locals who have been restricted from visiting or being visited from family and friends interstate.

Presently I'm able to move around rest of Australia without being caged like you lot and getting along with life.

14 fully vaxxed FIFO workers tested positive for covid last week, at a mine in the South of WA, Kemberton I think from memory, I mean where did that come from?

not sure where your going but you seemed annoyed with the extended lockdown
then said it affects the fifo
then it seems your annoyed its still getting in and you seem annoyed fifo ar bringing it
your all over the shop
yes there is 9 tied to the lithium plant in kemberton

Nine of the new cases are linked to an outbreak at a lithium plant in the state's southwest

https://www.northweststar.com.au/sto...a-covid-cases/
yes mines are trying to restrict it as they want to stay open for business
https://www.9news.com.au/national/we...1-3935ccbd4703
and as others have said once it s moving you wont stop it , its how you prevent its speed in spreading
yes even vaxed people can still get and transmit it but being vaxed can help curb its spread and affect

so as said im lost at where your going with these last few posts

heheh there was a radio station here the other day (can't remember which one) with a WA Gov ad encouraging Victorians to visit WA.

I think they are also relaxing the rules for international students?

More relaxation will come before he due for his court appearance.

Australia
NSW records 17,316 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 0.9603 (from 0.9630) while the actual line remains above the predictive trend line.



VIC records 13,755 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 0.9603 (from 0.9574) while the actual line remains above the predictive trend.



Here is the predictive trend graph for three States based on cases since Omicron was identified which, for our purposes, will be taken as December 1st.

There is no mention at all of "14 fully vaxxed FIFO workers tested positive for covid last week, at a mine in the South of WA"

The article you linked to refers to local cases only....

I get fed up explaining myself here at AFF, was called "bullying" at school, but we are not at school are we, look to the right under McGowan's mug and it says in Bright Blue Key Points, though my newspaper stated 14, this mentions 13, and if I can find it so can you so do your own research, I'm busy

I will repeat......there is no mention at all of 14 FIFO workers, all the numbers in the link you posted refer to LOCAL only....

No bullying at all lol, just pointing out that all those numbers quoted in the article you linked to acquired the virus locally

Read the blue points on right, cluster on refinery construction site, stop being so bloody pedantic, and picky, it's not a big deal and was only relevant to a post so far down this thread it's no longer an issue, just move on and stop being " the man who shot Liberty Slowsnake"

Who's been pedantic? you post on a public forum (yesterday!) making a claim that others are interested in and ask for a source, then when you can't find it and realise you were wrong you then proceed to lose it.....

If you don't want to be questioned on a public forum don't post or make sure you are correct on the subject....we all make mistakes at times (me included) but most don't go into a downward spiral when it's pointed out...

Also......You seem to be under the mistaken assumption that everyone that is working on the Albermarle Lithium construction site is a fifo worker, they are not! the overall majority are locals.

[slowsnake]

It bothers me no end that people in positions of "power" meaning sports stars an d their ilk can always find a way in through WA's border restrictions!

Case in point, cricketer Cam Green, now I never knew that he is allowed into WA on his "student exemption".......student exemption?

He's an international cricketer, but apparently can come and go because he is studying at Curtin University!
And as such he had his G2G application approved, well by the time his 2 week quarantine is completed just how much study can he fit in on campus before flying out to play cricket in Pakistan?
He is doing a Commerce degree by the way, and according to the West's newspapers reporter, Brayden Quartermaine "he organised the application himself"......is someone having a cheap shot at a recent Serbian tennis player!...who dident fill out his own application, I wonder?......

I am well aware that the 300 operational jobs are going to locals where possible, but the construction phase of any minesite is a torrent of outside workers qualified to do the work the locals can't, and it stated the exposed workers were FIFO.

... all recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

No countries move above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period while Ethiopia and Uganda drop below.

[russellw]

The current fortnight of UK data for cases and elapsed mortalities has finished.

There were 2,523,303 cases in the period to 11/1 and 4,093 deaths between 12-26/1 for a CMR of 0.162% which is lower than the previous period which was 0.188%. Case numbers, however, are up by 1.1M (81.6%) over the previous period so there will be some flow on.

Thus, in the 180 days since 'freedom day' they have totalled 9,251,043 cases and 25,119 deaths for an overall CMR of 0.272% which is below the 0.313% at day 165.

Here it is graphed - note that the base column at the end is the 2 week period prior to freedom day.





On an annualised basis, that’s 18.7M cases and somewhere between 30k (at the most recent CMR) and 51k (at the average CMR) deaths and just over one third of the adult population would get COVID in the year.

Woman who came face-to-face with lab monkey after truck crash becomes sick

“Because the monkey did hiss at me and there were feces around, and I did have an open cut, they just want to be precautious,” said Fallon.
.....
“I was close to the monkeys, I touched the crates, I walked through their feces so I was very close. So I called to inquire, you know, was I safe?” said Fallon.
......
Fallon says she grew concerned because she has an open cut on her hand and developed pink eye-like symptoms, so she went to the emergency room.

Well, good to see ATAGI not being pushed over by the pollies. With numbers now look to be steadily on the downward trend, and that's with "only" 30% boosted, is there really a need to mandate 3rd shots across the board?!

And who made Dandrews the warden of the east? He seems to be calling a lot of the shots for the eastern states lately. Quarantine arrangements for fruit pickers, back to school plans, and now the booster shot....


National cabinet makes no change to two-dose definition of ‘fully vaccinated’

National cabinet has made no change today the definition of “fully vaccinated”, which at present means two doses of a coronavirus vaccine.

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation is still considering whether that definition should be revised to require adults to receive a third dose, sources confirmed after today’s national cabinet meeting.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews had foreshadowed earlier today that a change to national vaccination policy may be imminent.

You being a Victorian should know by now Chairman Dan has always been outspoken when it comes to opinions, I'm certainly not surprised what comes out of his mouth.
