Keystone Cops? Dad's Army? The Goodies?
"The passengers will quarantine for three weeks, which is short of the 42-day potential incubation period for hantavirus,"
3 x 7 days = 21 days
42 days ÷ 21 days = 2
They're doing quarrantine for half the incubation period.
Half witted. Half baked. Going off half cocked.

9News | 'A soft target for crooks': Shocking extent of NDIS fraud revealed by 9News
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The parliamentary inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) uncovered that roughly 8 percent of the scheme’s $45 billion budget—over $3.5 billion—has been compromised by fraud, with criminal gangs, coercive schemes and international cartels targeting vulnerable people with disabilities. Investigators found that 90 percent of the smallest 1,000 of the 1,400 plan managers show traces of fraudulent activity, including inflated billing, “harvesting” of participants’ packages, and exploitation of those recently released from prison. NDIS Minister Jenny McAllister called the scheme a “soft target for crooks,” while officials from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and the Fraud Fusion Taskforce warned that the fraud spans Australia, South America, and parts of Asia. In response, the government plans to slash NDIS spending in the upcoming budget, aiming to reduce the average annual plan by about $5,000 and save $35 billion, alongside tighter safeguards and oversight.

#Health minister urges Australians to stay up-to-date with Covid-19 #boosters
#MarkButler, has said a new Covid-19 variant is spreading around Australia.
“I do encourage, particularly as we head into winter, for people to think about the last time they got a Covid vaccine.
If you are over 75 you should have one if it’s more than six months since you had your last booster. If you’re 65 to 74, if it’s more than 12 months. And for everyone else have a serious think.”
