    Seems like we dodged a Covid Delta bullet in Tauranga as most of the tests of the 89 unvaccinated workers have come back negative.

      Isnt the expected incubation period around 5 days (not hard and fast)?….may be a little early to declare a near miss

            The whole of Cairns in Queensland is currently locked down because of infection from that same ship via a reef pilot and taxi driver, so yes guess it might be a few days of anxiety in Tauranga. Not sure that finger crossing is a sensible strategy with Delta.

      Coronavirus: A timeline of how the deadly COVID-19 outbreak is evolving
      Globally, the total confirmed cases of Covid-19 have reached over 202,872,000 with over 4,297,000 deaths and over 143,933,000 recoveries reported.

      Australia has reported over 300 daily new cases of Covid-19 as the seven-day rolling average of cases continues to rise.

      Australia’s most populous state, New South Wales, reported 283 new daily confirmed cases as infections spread from Sydney to regional areas on the East coast.

      In response to a sharp rise in local transmissions, authorities have imposed strict lockdown measures upon millions of people, including military patrols in western regions of Sydney.

      Australia’s largest outbreak so far this year has been driven by a low vaccination rate and the highly contagious nature of the Delta variant.

      Propagating material that stokes vaccine hesitancy is fifth column stuff – a bit like the saboteurs who continue to deny that anthropogenic global warming is real.

      Yes, they're still out there – shameful. You have to wonder…

      Climate change denial
