Gladys' lack of action is making Nero the Fiddler look like a hyperactive obsessive compulsive!
She is sailing so close to tragedy for the chance of a political victory, but if it goes wrong it's going to screw the whole country. At least this time she has some Fed support, rather than washing their hands of things they are actually trying to help! But I doubt their heart is pure, they go the political leverage as well!

The two articles I read on the The Swiss Policy Research site have no authors, and the site is run anonymously. It's not really a good start.
You can’t debunk something that’s fact : 
Meanwhile, the long term impacts of COVID are becoming clearer:
Quote:The first Australian study looking at the long-term impacts COVID-19 has published interim results.
It found 40 per cent of the people in the study had persistent symptoms two months after infection.
The most common lingering symptoms were fatigue, shortness of breath, coughing and tightness in the chest

Of course, conspiracy theorists will claim that this study can’t be trusted because it’s reported on the ABC

Interesting that the Feds knocked back Dan’s request for ADF personnel to help with border control because they might be needed somewhere else :

I don't understand the political roll of the dice in this instance, the win is trivial for many in the bigger longer picture, but the potential immediate loss is catastrophic for some!
Gladys may well celebrate single digit cases in the coming days, but only because Gladys has by negligence allowed to exportation of the infected to interstate quarantines, so the risk and cost is the burden of some other state. I do not get the media silence on this issue, maybe because most of it is headquartered in NSW!

The Feds are opposed to border closures - remember Scotty from marketing’s initial support for Clive Palmer’s court action against the WA Government. It’s not good for business even if it may stop the spread of the virus.
Teflon Gladys indeed!

Teflon Gladys indeed! Yes, that is just one perspective of involvement though, they are helping in NSW in a lot of other ways that they didn't in Vic due to politics.
But I agree, it's clear they choices they are making.

Border closures aren't the answer. There needs to be a common, national approach. When there is an out break, put a ring around it. No one in or out of the area. Its not that darken hard.

I see today they have closed a loop with international flight crews must undergo mandatory 14 day quarantine in Melbourne. About time.

Precisely, just as I said last week. Will cost each of the airlines a bomb with spare crews having to be based here to effect a quick a/c turnaround
