Nice to be free of fear of contagion

Guards still aren't always wearing masks in Covid hotel quarantine (msn.com)

I am sure there as some people wiling to get some paid work in return for wearing a mask.

I thought the Vic government had done away with contracted 'security' guards.

I do take issue with the facts of that piece, given the UK variant is allegedly 70% more contagious, NOT 70 times more contagious. If the 'reporter' can't get that right, what other facts are being misreported?

Well another concern is that the mutant virus is more clingable to the ACE2 receptor which might mean will seriously affect a wider range of ages due to a greater viral efficiency

Next week they will clarify it, we meant 3 weeks not 3 days. But one thing you want enough of is masks as kmart had them for $9 for a box of 50 on saturday when they announced mandatory masks, then at coles today and they are selling them for $45 a box of 50 and this was in NSW.
