A man has suffered extensive injuries in a shark attack off the coast of central Queensland.

After landing on the island, a doctor and a paramedic travelled to the scene at 8:30pm via another vessel.

North West Island is the largest coral cay in a string of islands and part of the Capricorn Cays National Park. A camping ground is the only permanent facility on the island and visitors are required to take their own water.

Our ABC thinks sharks exist in central Qld!!

NEWS JUST IN - this man has tested positive for COVID-19 and now he's infected all the Sea Life. (Yeah sounds stupid when I say it, but if any msm source said that, people would stop eating seafood. Another step to a closed communist food rationing society).

Is he not supposed to stay at home?

Was it a covid19 shark ?

Ouch, the last place you would want to be is in a hospital surrounded by 100's of people with one highly contagious virus. I imagine he wished he stayed home.

Should have stayed at home like you're meant to.

Guess the sharks didn’t get the iso rules memo

Obviously not staying home?

Waiting for the ‘should have been isolating’ comments to roll in...
