What does new case of virus today do for sport + lifein SA?

“Viral heart disease, also known as myocarditis, is a heart condition caused by a virus. The virus attacks the heart muscle, causing inflammation and disrupting the electrical pathways that signal the heart to beat properly. Most of the time, the body will heal itself and you may never know you had a problem. However, in rare cases, the infection itself and the resulting inflammation can damage and weaken the heart. This can also trigger heart failure and heart rhythm irregularities.

This condition can happen to people who seem to be in good health. The only sign of viral heart disease is flu-like symptoms for some people. Although a wide variety of viruses may affect the heart, only a few are more commonly linked to myocarditis and other heart problems.”

Yes. Can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy. Medical science has not discovered all viruses yet, a long way short. People die from this. Covid19 can have this effect. It might trigger cardiac decomposition and end stage heart failure. In SA, there is no specialist facility for this, hence they go to St Vincent’s in Sydney, and Tasmanians to Prince Alfred in Melbourne.

It is possible to be at risk of this but present as otherwise healthy. Until being a “salvage” patient in ICU. From there, artificial heart and/or transplant are needed. There are well documented cases of this.

Listening to medical experts = murdering Jews

Haha same person probs thinks it’s caused by 5G

#251, know you were being a smart arse but here's some info for you :

The Morrison government give all this to their mates businesses to make a killing, it doesn’t have to work just keep donating to the liberal party and making huge profits.

This tracking app sounds worse than the new myGovID login system that came out if beta at the end of March. I get the feeling unlike private enterprise the government aren't as demanding and accept faulty product. Contractors know this and don't deliver as they know they'll get paid regardless. So frustrating for the end user.

The tracking app is having some bugs with Apple phones so it makes it even tougher to trace potential contamination.

No.

Does anyone have any insight how Level B works practically for Basketball given there are multi-court, multi sport stadiums out there.

In addition surely there will be a lack of court availability if you are limiting trainings to 10 persons per court (and that is questionable given the 10 may apply to a facility)

“ That's not really how flu works either. Flu vaccinations are only around 50% effective each year, then that immunity doesn't usually carry onto the next strain.”

Wut? The reference was not to vaccines. When you suffer from the flu your body develops a level of antibodies that would normally prevent you getting that particular strain again.

Covid there’s strong evidence that those antibodies aren’t sufficient and therefore the herd immunity concept where once you’ve recovered you won’t likely get it again goes out the window.

“ it is almost entirely elderly”

That’s not true, the average age is under 70, we don’t consider under 70 as elderly.

"Small groups (not more than 10 athletes/staff in total)." So less than a full team. Kinda pointless.
WE have Coach, 2 assts, manager, trainer and 15 in our squad.

Yeah, it's not flu like, you don't get it and then you're immune, and it's not only oldies getting badly sick from it.

That kind of result would have a far more onerous cost on the economy and greater longevity to the far greater costs. People sick or dying isn't "free", it's not going to save us money.

The guy flew in from the UK. Might be an idea to actually check the facts of the story eh. Go for it open up and watch the numbers return.

Experts don’t know everything so let’s go with some randos who barely passes year 10 science opinion

Classic nutfy haha

You sound like you’d be a trump fan

Would hate to be America rn

Isaac probably right. Government will want to reopen.

We’re not in SA, but we’re seeing the 0 cases there and thinking it was going well there due to population having more natural distancing and the warm climate in summer helping.

Our rural area has 1 known case in postcode (so probs about 3-4 in reality). It feels safe here, but visitors are always going to be the unknown. Hence Qld residents can only drive 50km, and that doesn’t include driving down to Byron Bay because it’s in NSW.

The most dangerous looking clusters have involved Sydney, with eastern suburbs and a nursing home, and Vic with a meat works and nursing home. The US has issues in meat works too. The nursing homes are a worry because that’s where some of the most vulnerable live. Staff work there and go to their families. Families of staff work too.

Junior sport will be problematic because it brings people together. Basketball is played indoors, so that comes with more risk. We will never be free from risk until we get a vaccine and it is implemented with a very high rate. But look at NRL players. Check out the Betoota Advocate for good satire of them.

Virus can last in someone 3-6 weeks.

It can take 14-16 days to show symptoms.

The person had loss of smell and taste but didn’t act on it to get tested earlier.

It’s a newly discovered case but the indication is it’s probably acquired overseas.

To this extent, lack of community transmission is a good indicator for SA.

2 active known cases over there in SA atm

Another dooms dayer! The country can't stay in lockdown forever. They are going to open things up and hope that the new protocols are enough to limit US/UK/Italy/Spain like casualties. The economy can not continue on its current path. It’s as simple as that.

Hope, yep, that's good enough for me.

I suspect they have an announcement planned for tomorrow lifting some initial restrictions and that it would have been in the works all week. Too late for a single case to disrupt that, though obviously they will watch it cautiously.

Beyond annoying!
