COVID-19L Australian Capital Territory goes into lockdown

The ACT has been COVID free for months, but with the reporting of a case, initially from sewerage monitoring, they have gone into a sharp lockdown for 7 days, starting at 5 pm today, Thursday 12 August.

The lockdown will last for an initial 7 days

This comes with the reporting of a positive case of a man in his 20’s who has been in the community for the last 5 days and moving around extensively, thus creating a load of potential exposure sites.

Expect a strict and strictly enforced lockdown given recent experience in NSW and Victoria.

The aviation industry has a difficult road ahead when it comes to sustainability. It’s going to require a relative revolution in technology, with ‘electric planes’ or hydrogen planes, or some form of jet engine that doesn’t require a carbon based fuel. And that is going to require the development of an alternative to jet engines probably.

It’s a big ask. It will take time to develop.

This move to home grown and manufactured SAF is a first step – maybe even a baby step in a very long road of innovation. In the long run, US$200 million won’t even touch the sides.

Please, everyone, reduce your movement, treat everyone as a prospective COVID carrier, keep your distance, wear your fucking mask, get tested if you have the slightest symptoms, or if you have visited a contact area, and get vaccinated – twice.

Don’t be dickheads like those ‘mouthbreathers’ who only wear their mask over their mouth or chin, exposing their nose, or hang around in public places without masks while eating or sipping their coffee!

Stay home! Some of us would like to end lockdown as soon as possible, so we can travel!!!
