10 day so why no one else been infected hmmm lokento know how he got it

That guy? The one who can't breathe?

Must be a white guy because his identity is protected

Difficulty communicating, that applies to more than two thirds of the Uber drivers ive met in Toowoomba.

Unvaccinated, ah well.

He was in Melbourne 10 days ago ? Didn't he quarantine? So how can he be in the community? GoldCoastNews lockdown Australia Covid_19

Just curious how he’s out in the public here in Qld if he was in Melbourne 11 days ago? Wasn’t he required to do 14 day quarantine as he came from a hotspot? Am I missing something?

Can I suggest AnnastaciaMP if he is that sick and can’t talk, leave him alone to get well. 🙄

Can’t keep it out forever..

are his symptoms like genuinely severe or is he putting on an act. “So severe he can’t communicate” sounds sarcastic lmao

Victoria records 2,232 new COVID-19 cases as it hits 70 per cent double vaccination targetA further 2,232 local COVID-19 cases and 12 deaths have been reported in Victoria as Melbourne prepares for the end of its sixth lockdown. No doubt the changed vax requirement is recognition that alcohol and social distancing & other compliance measures don't mix. An infected hospo worker is able to infect many, many ppl in close sweaty proximity in pubs, clubs and bars. Sensible, necessary measure. It may as well be because of religion! Because the science obviously didn't work! LOL Wow
