All the WA ones have been from that goat ship off Freo and Families (finally?) returning from overseas. I guess some people were unable to get on flights early or had jobs in other countries etc. Overall I am very satisfied with the way the Western Australian Government has handled the crisis. I am quite sure that it was announced the boarders of WA would be the last thing to be lifted.
You could be right. Especially when the Ruby Princess let a whole bunch of people to disembark before being checked thoroughly. Except that about 18 or 20 people at the Newmarch nursing home died because a nurse who unknowingly contracted COVID-19 at another hospital, brought it to Caddens, next door to Penrith, in the far West of Sydney. Many of these people were in their '90's, & probably had underlying health conditions as well. Fortunately, no new cases have been reported there since last Wednesday, as far as I know, let alone deaths.

If you asked me in January or February. I would have said the Australian bushfires would have been the crisis of the year.
Yes, I would agree with you on both accounts. I do hope most sincerely other NarniaWebbers are beginning to weather the COVID-19 pandemic plus any other troubles.
Even though the bushfires properly started in the last two months of last year, the aftermath is still being felt.
In today's news they have found that many of the species that are now under threat of extinction, tend to have all come from the same areas, so what will help one species will help others as well.
