        Restrictions just for greater Sydney, not the whole of NSW

        I initially read this as “not suitable for work” and was very confused

        What an odd thing to say. No closure of venues, looks like a relatively normal weekend. I believe the games are still going on this weekend as well

        Hey Gid, NSW refer to this as the US variant. Would it be most likely that this strain is B.1526, the NY variant?

        I don't think they actually mentioned variants in the presser, they just said the person was from the US as far as I heard

        They've identified the source, but not the link to the case the BBQ bloke hasn't been near the source. IMO this isn't good news until they work out how it was transferred.

        We're going to have a tv series about Health Detectives aren't we? A cross between CSI and Cops? Epidemiologists: Life on the Agar.
