16.01.2022 QANTAS SLASHES INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS BY 90% Qantas will cut 90 per cent of international flights and 60 per cent of domestic capacity until the end of May, in response to massive falls in travel demand due to the coronavirus. In its most dramatic changes to network since the outbreak was confirmed in China, the national carrier will ground the equivalent of 150 aircraft, including almost all of its widebody fleet, made up of Boeing 747s, Airbus A380s, A330s and 787-9s.... A statement to the ASX on Tuesday said the 90 per cent cut to international capacity reflected the demand impact of severe quarantine requirements on people’s ability to travel overseas. The 60 per cent cut to domestic capacity reflected the rapid decline in forward travel demand due to government containment measures, corporate travel bans and a general pullback from everyday activities across the community. The statement acknowledged Qantas still played an essential role in transporting people and goods on domestic and international routes, and said some domestic flights would be freight-only. https://www.theaustralian.com.au//e6db4ca067d07c551540a469
14.01.2022 BRITAIN IN LOCKDOWN FOR ELDERLY AND PREGNANT WOMEN ***Latest news*** Elderly over 70 yrs old and pregnant women will be forced to self-isolate for 3 months, starting immediately. ____________________________________________ Britain faces a doomsday scenario of social distancing and lockdown in the country for as long as 18 months to two years until a vaccine becomes available to combat the coronavirus, believes the government’s scientific advisory panel.... The British government has switched tack and is now trying to suppress the virus in a new long term strategy which has been described as having profound’’ social and economic effects involving social isolation for huge periods of time. This comes after the team of scientific advisors realized only in the past few days’’ that the UK health system would be completely overrun resulting in at least 250,000 deaths if a mitigation’’ strategy announced last week was continued. https://www.theaustralian.com.au//5de82b7b312627d3d79e8fcc
05.01.2022 WHO - trusted world health body.... or China acolyte? Coronavirus has spread throughout the world. WHO is a United Nations body supposed to advise the world on...health matters. Praising China for their 'cover-up' and allowing people to travel with the virus....does not sound like 'sound advice'. Watch and make your mind up. Another reason to leave the UN?... Senator Jim Molan Scott Morrison (ScoMo)
03.01.2022 SHIPS DISEMBARKATION IN SYDNEY NOT BORDER FORCE RESPONSIBILITY Amazing how fast the Berejeklian Govt moved to blame the recent disembarkation of infected passengers from 2 cruise ships in Sydney on the Australian Border Force. We will see much more of this when departments fail under pressure.We are on a war-footing, and everyone has to fight this together. Gladys Berejiklian - "woman up and take this on the chin" _____________________________________________ Australian Bord...er Force Commissioner Michael Outram has hit out at the NSW government for not allowing trained doctors and nurses on board the Ruby Princess before passengers disembarked, while denying he was blaming any agency for the debacle. The cruise ship’s 2700 passengers were able to leave through the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Sydney’s Circular Quay without being screened for the coronavirus or having their passports checked. At least 133 passengers have now contracted the disease and one woman has died. Labor Senator Kristina Keneally says the Federal Government must explain the disastrous decision to allow passengers to disembark from the Ruby Princess Cruise, a bungle tha... Defending his agency on Wednesday morning after The Australian revealed NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian told a confidential partyroom meeting on Tuesday that ABF officials were responsible for the decision to release passengers, Mr Outram said: I had a conversation with Minister (Brad) Hazzard late on Friday night, the NSW Minister for Health, and stepped him through what I’d seen in Victoria and Western Australia where I thought the arrangements had worked very well. The protocols are any vessel coming into Australia’s water from overseas has to give us 96 hours at least notice of any illness on board or disease. As they come into port, there’s protocols about declaring any quarantineable disease when you come into port, when you come up alongside you have obviously to declare, the ship has to declare to the state or territory health department whether there is an illness on board, and then of course my officers will board. What broke down in this case was of course I think health officers, trained doctors or nurses didn’t get on board the vessel, swab passengers and take those swabs for results before a decision was taken about disembarking the passengers, which is why when I spoke to NSW health government on Friday night, I said ‘what I saw in Victoria, the way that vessel was handled was done very, very well, and had that occurred in this case, what happened wouldn’t have happened’. https://www.theaustralian.com.au//f0c260f76c3447c4e7b6aec4
03.01.2022 VICTORIA CLOSES ALL SCHOOLS - BRINGS IN ENFORCERS. NSW KEEPS SCHOOLS OPEN BUT ASKS STUDENTS TO STAY AT HOME The two states with the highest cases of COVID-19 are 'going it alone' in the fight against the CCV - China-Corona-Virus All other state schools in all other states and territories remain open. The PM has announced some drastic actions following the weekend when people refused to observe the 'social distancing' rule. ___________________________________________... Welcome to live coverage of the continuing coronavirus crisis. Across Australia, pubs, clubs, churches, cinemas, indoor sports venues and casinos will today be closed. In addition, the divide between state and federal government on schools has widened, with NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian joining Victorian counterpart Daniel Andrews in telling parents to keep children home from school. Josh Frydenberg has described the coronavirus as a team Australia moment as he spoke on the omnibus stimulus legislation tabled in federal parliament. The Treasurer said the government’s unprecedented package was designed to keep Australians in jobs and businesses in business. This is a team Australia moment and we call upon all sections of the Australian community to join in this struggle, Mr Frydneberg told the House of Representatives. We now expect the economic shock from the coronavirus to be deeper to be wider and to be longer. Our response will provide the hope and support (that) millions of Australians need at this time. Parliament will be suspended after the legislation passes the House of Representatives and the Senate. https://www.theaustralian.com.au//016fbdf40be806cbfcc6453d
