Not sure how accurate it is but i've heard reports that omicron is better detected via a saliva swab and the up the nose ones are coming back negative, even if the patient has it.

Could explain a few things with people being sick, but negative.

Not sure how accurate any of that is though.
The tests I've seen people using require you to swab both the nasal cavity and the back of the throat.

The drive through tests have always been like that.

Similar could've been said about a former world number 1 who came back from cancer to reclaim his title.

I'm not sure if tennis players are on the same gear as cyclists, Lance Armstrong says hi, but it's hardly done with just diet and hard work.
Maria Sharapova was on something legal for a decade before it was banned.

Personal or not, don't put these athletes up on a pedestal, you will be disappointed.


I don't idolise people very flippantly.

In fact, my idolatry of sports stars wanes the more money involved in becoming the greatest there is.  It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.  Very difficult to become the world number 1, but when you get there, the dollars for simply being there can sustain you at the top (ala Hawks, and recruiting players cheaply during their recent reign).


Nobody should have lost their livelihood over these choices, and this recent Novak flip flop makes the government look like the rabble they are.

I know someone who did a rapid test and a PCR within an hour of each other and the rapid was  negative but the PCR came back positive.

Macca, the flu is going to rebound now the lockdowns have ended. Despite the anti-vaxxers arguing that Covid is no worse than the flu and behaving as if the flu is no worse than a paper cut, the reality is that flu can be a serious disease. Unfortunately, there's also the Flurona which is where someone catches both the flu and covid. Best wishes on a swift recovery for your wife and yourself.

Interesting comments from Abul Rivzi, a former Deputy Secretary of the Department of Immigration:  Why stopping Djokovic at airport was worst outcome for all,, 9News.

He notes that the Govt blew 2 opportunities to stop Djokovic before he arrived in Australia: 1. They should have refused the visa instead of granting it, & 2. Australian Border Force staff would have been supervising the boarding of the flight in Dubai (?) and should have pulled Djokovic out of the queue or off the plane.

Quote
Mr Rizvi said intercepting and turning people around at the border "should only be done in absolute emergencies or when there has been dramatic changes in circumstances or some other alarming thing has happened."

Djokovic might then be able to rely on an administrative law principle: he had a legitimate expectation that he would be admitted to Australia and undertook a lengthy flight in reliance on that expectation.

Mr Rivzi hit the nail on the head when he pretty much described Scotty from Marketing's MO in dealing with fiascos:

Quote
If Djokovic wins his appeal, the Government could appeal that ruling.
However, if Djokovic wins, Mr Rizvi said the Government will probably "let it go from that point and look to blame somebody else".

THAT would be an international airport first.  Don't believe it for a second

I wouldn't have the faintest one way or the other. But that's what he said.

I’m no expert but I couldn’t see how/why Australian Border Force Officers would be loitering at overseas international airports either, barring a specific “sting”

Travel advisories for Italy look set to be strengthened this week, as Australian Border Force officers are deployed at overseas airports to enforce coronavirus protections.

I look forward to your research on this issue. Or it might form part of Djokovic's case. There's a few issues that are just speculative at the moment.

That's quite possible, PCR is almost 1000x more sensitive and will pick up an infection much earlier.

I've heard testing specialists advise that lateral flow tests(RAT) should be repeated about 3 days apart before an all clear is given. I think some states have something similar as a basic requirement. A lot of tests that can be bought come in pairs for that very reason.

Didn't realise registering your positive Rat test made you eligible for a $750 payment.
That's a nice invitation for rorting...

Why do you think you can't buy the bloody tests anywhere!
