Public health alert issued after infectious fruit picker flies from Melbourne into QueenslandQueensland Health issues a public health alert after a fruit picker took two flights — from Melbourne to Brisbane to Bundaberg — while infectious. He also worked and lived with other strawberry pickers before his positive test came back. So the bloke was around someone who had it and decided to travel and go on as life is normal? Can he take an IQ test aswell Why is this crap still happening? Social Distancing? Nah, just party with all my mates. Unfortunately there will be more ppl infected. Shutting down for 2 months just delayed the virus. It didn't stop it.
