Issues with their European supply chain and it’s causing some real dramas. Korea only has received 4% of this months order and still unsure when they will see the remainder which has obviously caused issues with their vaccination rates

Understand the European manufacturer is Swiss, with some vial filling in Spain. There were problems back on April with supplies to Canada.
Do you know whether Australia’s Moderna supply will come from US or Europe?
PM said today that the Government had some irons in the fire to get some more vax .

MicinBeijing will be interested the Mainland China border with Hong Kong will probably open in March 2022 - Apparently they want to run the Winter Olympics in February 2022 safely before opening the borders to COVID infested HK.

120+ exposures added yesterday.
Brace yourselves.
Well looks like its made its way to the east and south-east now with exposure sites in the last few days. Let’s see if this side of town will do a better job than the north and west. I think this must be the biggest number of exposure sites listed in one day.
School construction site in Port Melbourne went up late last night.
Might be an instructive case on how the system works.
They’re listed as full working days 24th, 25th , 26th . The 27th they’re only listed as 7am -9.30am. Most likely, that morning is when they started to feel unwell, either chose or were told to leave and get tested, go home. Test comes back positive, my negative test took until the following afternoon but the positive tests would presumably be notified far quicker. Possibly it’s known by the evening of 27th that they’re positive. If that morning was the first sign of symptoms , they’ve then backdated by three full days to hopefully pick up the early contagious period. Exposure site update appears to run at two days delay.
Of course, all this goes out the window if that 2 hour period on the 27th wasn’t due to leaving for a test. But how it appears is almost identical to my experience last week. Except for the test result, obviously.
There’ll be a few construction workers now in 14 day isolation, I suspect. In theory, there shouldn’t have been any large crews on that site though. Worst scenario would be if the positive case was the construction manager, who’d potentially mix a bit with all trades.
Never really thought about 2nd hand planes until a few years ago when getting on a jumbo? At Sydney all done up in Fiji colours on the outside but well stained British Airways coloured seats on the inside.
One careful lady owner, honest guvnor.

Test (negative) for our youngest last week took ~28hrs, tested at ~4:30pm on Friday, returned at ~8pm Saturday. Over 24hrs but fitting the ~97% next day narrative.

Yep. Too close to home now.
Back to online shopping again. The supermarket has become insanely busy at certain times.

Yep, mine was 10am, notified 1pm next day.
Someone on here mentioned that the negative notifications get batch sent , so the people who really needed to know I was negative probably knew much sooner , many hours, than I .

Not denying that. I just can’t see a way, under the current two options of home schooling or school schooling. Particularly if households have mixed ages and kids not vaccinated under 12.
Some of those were updates.
I’ve got 96 new sites.

They are behind on contact tracing, but I’m expecting 100+.

I’m guessing Cazza Springs is all good in the hood now seeing as the testing sites have been closed down again
Yeah pretty much wrapped up there.
Folks be ■■■■■■■ out and about if it’s in the 70’s…
I reckon the exposure sites lag the numbers by a few days. So big exposure site increases probably reflect the bigger case numbers of the weekend (91 case day?) , not necessarily offering a portent of big numbers to come. Of course, you might then get a big cluster emerge from one - 10 cases at the construction site as a theoretical example - , but if Delta symptoms usually emerge within a couple of days then you’d hope theyre more or less already known by the time a site is listed.

I really hope you’re right!
well, i’d much rather two days in a row of 70-odd than it climbing up into the 100’s. If we get 70 cases again tomorrow ( 3 days running) then i might start to believe we’re slowly catching up to it. The problem, of course, is that you only need one episode of stupidity to undo any good work.
