Melbourne back in 6 week lockdown July 7

All we needed were face masks - not a lockdown.


Wearing a face mask decreases your risk of being infected with coronavirus risk by 65%

Wearing a face mask dramatically reduces your risk of falling ill with the novel coronavirus, scientists have found.

A team from the University of California Davis Children’s Hospital has found that covering the nose and mouth decreased the risk of COVID-19 infection by 65 percent.

Previously, researchers believed that mask-wearing was only beneficial to prevent transmission of the virus to others.

But, as more studies have found, the piece of cloth doesn’t just stop a sick person from spreading the virus, but also protects healthy people from falling ill

Wearing a face mask decreases the risk of getting coronavirus by 65% and social distancing lowers the risk by 90%, researchers find.

There are two main methods of coronavirus transmission, one being via droplets that are expelled into the air when a person coughs or sneezes and the other from aerosol particles that humans spray into air when we speak.

‘Everyone should wear a mask,’ Dr Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis Children’s Hospital, said during a July 2 livestream.

‘People who say, ‘I don’t believe masks work,’ are ignoring scientific evidence. It’s not a belief system. It’s like saying, ‘I don’t believe in gravity.’

There are two main methods by which the coronavirus spreads with the first being via droplets that are expelled into the air when a person coughs or sneezes.

Researchers say these droplets are about one-third the size of a human hair, but visible to the naked eye.

The second way is from aerosol particles that humans spray into air when we speak, which are one-onehundreth the size of a human hair and nearly impossible to see.

This method is more dangerous in terms of transmission, but can be lessened by avoiding crowded indoor spaces.


‘Studies in laboratory conditions now show the virus stays alive in aerosol form with a half-life on the scale of hours. It persists in the air,’ said Dr William Ristenpart, a professor of chemical engineering at UC Davis.

‘That’s why you want to be outdoors for any social situations if possible. The good air flow will disperse the virus. If you are indoors, think about opening the windows. You want as much fresh air as possible.’

Several reports have found that various types of masks can prevent droplets from entering the respiratory system.

One study found that droplets between 20 to 500 micrometers expelled by someone talking were blocked when the mouth was covered by a washcloth.

Another showed that wearing a mask reduced the amount of droplets and aerosol particles someone with the flu or common cold sprays into the air.

While plexiglass for face shields and cubicles offer protection, transmission can still occur if there isn’t good air flow, said Ristenpart.

Yep....totally agree...been saying it for months....
Aah well...what would we know.....

It's common logic that it would have to give you some degree of protection.

Their theory that only those infected should wear a mask was ridiculous.

But Dan never made face masks compulsory -
in fact they are difficult to buy.
We don't have enough.
Unless we have a new law to make it compulsory we'll
get a 3rd wave after opening up in 6 weeks.
I blame Dan.

We've watched what's been going on around the world though. Waiting for someone to tell you what to do won't ever help you. You have to decide what's best for you and yours.

To rely on any politician to tell you how to address your own personal safety is not very wise.

We need Dan to make a new law - compulsory masks.

I saw Hunt on the idiot box just now saying that if you cant "distance appropriately, then you should
consider wearing a mask"
This is just a mishmash of advice...
"If you cant...you should consider...."
I heard not long ago we had 220 million masks in Australia....
They are available to those who want to wear them....
Checkout operators are protected by plastic petitions..
Medical staff and Doctors in surgeries all wear masks...
Those testing at drive by testing all wear masks....
Motorcyclists wear helmets...
Motorists wear seatbelts...
Cricketers and baseball players wear helmets...
Jockeys wear goggles....
Workers in numerous industries wear goggles...
And so on....and so on....
ALL for our own PROTECTION...…(against injury/disease....)
Yet in the middle of a world wide plandemic, our "health experts" have been telling
us for months not to wear masks...'
Yet Hunt NOW comes out and says....
In a nutshell....'
"Wear them if you want to...."
Incompetence....sheer incompetence....

Three COVID-19 cases emerge in ACT linked to Victoria ....

The ACT has recorded its first cases of COVID-19 in more than a month, with three new cases emerging during the past 24 hours.

The three cases are all in the same household and are directly linked to the second wave of the virus in Victoria.

ACT Chief Health Officer Dr Kerryn Coleman said although the risk of community transmission is low, those who were at the Fyshwick Markets on Saturday, 4 July between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm and Westfield Belconnen on Monday, 6 July between 12:00 pm and 12:30 pm should be extra vigilant.[/i]

jesus.... I trust this lot will end up in 14 detention.....bloody useless...the Markets will be fun...I can see the practicing distancing there...

bahhh humbug...

we are too soft on those who do not give a damn.....

A 4th person now, connected to the other 3. They live in Gungahlin area, apparently.
