They should pull their heads in and abide by the rules or take the next available flight.
Interesting contrast in attitudes between 'team players' of the AFL and their overwhelmingly positive/constructive attitude to quarantine (there were only a few knobs) and the attitude of those in an 'individual' sport. And our players had it for months.
Interview with Pat Cash revealed that Tennis Australia had gone to extraordinary lengths to inform all tennis players of all scenarios in the event of a C-19 positive and resultant quarantining. And the need for quarantining in general.
Any player, manager, support staff person etc. who continues to complain about the strict measures in place to protect them and OUR community can FO. I'd be happy to kick in a fiver to help out with travel out of the country... along with a size 9 boot to the dot.

Nice link Paul, but didn't you know, lockdown is doom and gloom?

If accurate this is a bit disturbing.
Coronavirus UK: COVID's long-term damage sending one in three patients back to hospital within five months (theage.com.au)

As I read it, functionally without further interventions it means long term deaths from COVID will double after a sufficient period of time. That is 30% of Long COVID cases returned to hospital within a year, and 1 in 10 of those perished!
Long COVID indeed! :o
Sort of makes a mockery of economic rationalist arguments, the full price of not acting is going to skyrocket, Dan might well be a dictator but he's done us a mighty favour it seems!
Piss on the anti-maskers and COVID deniers at every opportunity, they are killing people.
FMD what has Trump done! :o

one of this issues with this whole argument is that its very all or nothing.
We cannot continue to shut everything down and live a paralysed life, hiding from life because it might hospitalise people.
Sure, take the preventative measures where practical if practical.
Where its not practical, or practicable though the fix seems to be a worse outcome in some cases. The lady who killed herself and her 3 kids, is just the beginning.

The Chinese are Trump like in denials and ridiculous counter claims it didnt start in China but in the USA etc.

I notice the corporate psychopaths want everyone back in the office ASAP.
The motivation isn't that people working from home are less productive, the problem is the corporate psychopath is inherently paranoid and the poor bastards are running themselves into the ground trying to keep watch over the dispersed staff. They want them back in the pig pen so they can stroll around and laud over them in the old bullying ways! Staff working from home, out of the eyeline, is the paranoid psychopaths worst nightmare!
But there is a problem for the psychopath, it turns out not running the office block, not having a tower of power, is more profitable for the crew in the big house. Once the IT crews solved the security and paranoia issues that good corporate governance required, working from home was a no brainer. Operating costs have plummeted, there has been no real hit on productivity, and the Board Executives are already eyeing bigger bonusses, ........................... the only real loser is the psychopath!
Even worse, it's good for the environment, CO2 emissions have plummeted, there is less traffic, staff having acclimatised are less stressed, and the bulk of the bad eggs have left the building(quit or sacked) because taking work home was their worst nightmare given they spend all day working harder at getting out of it than actually doing anything!

EB, I read somewhere that there was much funding and cooperation from the West, including Australia btw, for research in China into viruses including Covid. Maybe we have ourselves to blame, at least partly.
Reality always wins in the end.
