Yes, as some symptoms are similar.

I think Prof. Sutton went through this a day or two ago:
If the symptoms are transient and self-resolving (i.e. you wake up with a blocked nose, but it clears after an hour or two) then no. But if symptoms are persistent, then yes you should get tested.

My take on it
Something to do with the Commonwealth Communicable disease norification requirements, reported to Commonwealth authorities. with Commonwealth assigning a death against a disease.
In Victoria most reporting of deaths is through the Registrar of births deaths and marriages, with cause according to doctor’s certificate or by coroner.
Aged care providers were not directly reporting deaths to DHHS.
Sutton said the other day that Vics and Commonwealth had reconciled the statistical definitions - i.e. anyone dying with Covid would be a Covid death, which would involve a time lag to rectify stats.
And aged care providers now appear to be compelled to inform DHHS of deaths of those with Covid.

This is good advice, I’ve sometimes woken up in the night with a blocked nose, or a cough. Either it clears in an hour or it’s gone by the morning. Can still hammer the daily bike ride up the hills - no decline in oxygen saturation I would think. It is amazing how any little snigger makes you think, could I have it, but yet I haven’t been anywhere near someone outside of my own house for more than 2 minutes in weeks. How could I have caught anything?

I know you are being facetious but while we certainly shouldn’t be easing too hard (we’ve come too far), I reckon there are some pretty low risk levers the Government can (and will) pull to give the gen pop a carrot. Particularly as the weather warms up, it gets darker later, etc - remove the time limit on outdoor activity (it’s too important for mental health) and push back the curfew (if one is needed at all). Give that a couple of weeks and then see what else we can start to release.

I agree. Stage 5 is far too lenient…Stage 6 it is.

Agreed.
But it’s a bit counterintuitive to be easing just when a few extra days (WEEKS!!) would just help the HCW and AC numbers improve.
I’m in Darebin, which ain’t doing well.
I’d be comfortable with easing restrictions in the suburbs were theres no cases, and slowly bring the restrictions down in reverse concentric circles, if that is even a thing, until the last suburb is over this.
Think the big thing people want is interaction with others outside their household bubble. So if they can somehow arrange that, That’ll help.
