Good on 'em, mate!

They need to bring plenty of tucker and supplies along when they escape to the outback. Not many of them are like Crocodile Dundee, can hunt, fish and live off the land.

A woman in her 50s has become the third locally acquired case of coronavirus in Australia - a sign the virus has begun spreading in the Australian community.
Overnight, the total number of coronavirus cases in NSW rose to 15, as NSW Health released the details of five flights to Sydney that carried passengers later diagnosed with the virus.

Along with the woman in her 50s who contracted the virus in Australia, the other new COVID-19 case confirmed overnight was a man in his 30s who returned from Iran and arrived in Sydney on March 1 on Malindo Air flight OD171 from Kuala Lumpur.
The man may have been infectious while on the flight. He was seated in row 15 and passengers seated around him will be contacted by NSW Health. The man is being treated at Westmead Hospital in isolation.

NSW Health also released the flight details of four other people diagnosed with COVID-19 who may have been infectious on flights to Sydney. News of the four cases were made public on Monday.
The first of those cases - and the 10th person diagnosed in NSW - was another man in his 30s. He arrived from Iran on Sunday March 1 on a flight from Malaysia that transited through Singapore.
He was on Jetstar Asia Airways Flight 5168 departing Kuala Lumpur on February 29 and arriving in Singapore later that same day. The man then flew from Singapore to Sydney on Qantas flight QF82. He was seated in row 32 on that flight, which departed Singapore at 8.30pm on February 29 and arrived in Sydney on March 1 at 7.35am.

The 11th case, a man in his 50s, returned from Singapore on February 28 on Qantas flight QF02. He was seated in row 5.

The 12th person, a woman in her 60s, arrived in Sydney from South Korea on February 27 on Korean Air flight KE121.
The 13th person, another woman in her 60s, returned to Sydney from Japan on February 21 and was diagnosed on March 3. The details of the flight the woman was on have not been provided. The patient is currently under home isolation.

Five of the six new cases are being treated in isolation at Westmead Hospital. The 13th case, the woman in her 60s, is in home isolation.
NSW Health said travellers from Iran, South Korea and Japan should be particularly vigilant for symptoms as there had been a rapid increase in COVID-19 activity there in recent days.

Hospital emergency departments across the state are bracing for a deluge of patients, with health authorities predicting coronavirus outbreaks will converge with an early and severe flu season.
The flu season is already shaping up to be severe, with the number of confirmed influenza cases in January and February even greater than last year’s unusually high number of summer flu cases.
Rising numbers of patients are presenting to emergency departments and presentations for flu-like illnesses and other respiratory conditions are well above historic averages, NSW Health said.

“It is timely to remind the community that emergency departments are for emergencies,” Dr Chant said.

“While we see and treat everyone, we will always prioritise more seriously unwell patients.”
She urged people to consider calling their GP or healthdirect for advice on 1800 022 222.
“GPs can arrange for COVID-19 testing, or if you are very unwell, you can also call ahead before attending your local emergency department for assessment,” she said.

A fight over toilet paper in an Australian supermarket on Saturday prompted police to call for calm after the latest violence sparked by coronavirus-induced panic buying in the country.
A video widely shared online shows three women pulling each other’s hair and screaming as they struggle over a large pack of the highly sought-after commodity in the aisle of a grocery store in Sydney.
“I just want one pack!” one of the women screams as two others guard a trolley stacked high with rolls.
Two staff members intervened to break up the scuffle and police were called but no one was arrested.

“It’s not the ThunderDome, it’s not Mad Max. We don’t need to do that,” Acting Inspector Andrew New from New South Wales police told reporters, referring to the post-apocalyptic action films.

The incident comes after police tasered a man involved in a scrap over toilet rolls in the town of Tamworth in New South Wales.

Police were also called to a shop in Sydney when a knife was drawn in a tussle over the scarce product.

“Pls STOP! Calm common sense would tell us if some individuals were not buying excessive numbers of toilet rolls … there would be no problem,” NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard tweeted on Saturday with a photo of bare shop shelves.
