Just as the Vic/SA border is opening up ....... Might be a good idea to stay outta SA

Just confirming that keeping borders shut, and stop people from moving all over the place. Maybe we should all discover what wonderful places are there in the area we live in. 100 years ago everybody hung around their neighborhood and did not get suicidal.

3 cases in SA. The only ones in the country in the last week, outside of quarantine.

I await the alleged 'I voted Labor last time' fence-sitter to justify how this happened.

I take it your post is referencing me although I,m not sure what the fence sitter jibe is supposed to represent. My vote is based on who I think will best represent the views of me and my community and that certainly wasn't a career politician like Georgina Downer !

As for the COVID cluster in South Australia, contact tracers believe it entered the community via a worker from one of the Quarantine hotels used to house returning Australians coming from overseas.

There has been NO suggestion this woman acted in any way unprofessionally. NO suggestion she wasn't properly trained and not supplied with PPE, NO suggestion she spent hours socialising in rooms with quarantined people and NO suggestion she had sexual relationships with quarantined people at the hotel.

When you have thousands of citizens returning to Australia after months in COVID hot spots, there is always a risk one of our front line workers will contract the virus and take it home to infect family and friends. This is a risk they knowingly take day in day out to keep us safe. For you to attempt to score cheap little forum points based on this risk reflects very poorly on you.

This is not the first time COVID has occurred in the South Australian community and it wont be the last.

Until there is a vaccine, flare ups in COVID can occur anywhere, anytime . This is inevitable. The important thing is how professionally governments respond when these flare ups do occur.

This is what we know about the Adelaide coronavirus cluster so far

And this from the Sydney Morning Herald, confirming the cluster is believed to have come from a front line staff member, working in the returning Australian citizens hotel quarantine system. The risk these workers face is not something forum posters should be using to attempt to score cheap forum points with. It reflects very poorly on you david that you choose to go there.

it's very similar to the way the 2nd wave outbreak started in Vic... hopefully it can be controlled quickly.

Sadly, many doctors and nurses all over the world are getting infected and dying. It shows how infectious and dangerous this virus is.

It disgusts me that some try to make it political. That is so damaging to our capacity to fight it. The SA outbreak just shows that being hot summer makes no difference; it can still spread.

My teenage daughter called around home yesterday morning and was ribbing me about the 24 tubes of hand sanitiser I had purchased in the 20 cent discount basket at Coles a few days ago. ( yes Dad's a compulsive hoarder ) I told her when the next COVID outbreak occured and she couldnt buy it in the shops, I would share some with her............Guess she will be back around in a day or two........

Shouldn't be a problem as they have over 3.6 million less people in Adelaide and Salibury/Elizabeth are outer

suburbs and they only have 379 thousand that live in the rest of that state which have low densities as it's more then four times as big as Victoria in size so it shouldn't spread as quickly as it did in Vic.

With all the help they will get and the experience from Victoria on how to get it under control they should be at 0 within a month.
