As health authorities warn another wave of COVID-19 has hit Queensland, some families, like the Brodies, have been unlucky enough to have caught COVID twice in just two months while also dealing with the disruption of the floods.
As health authorities warn another wave of COVID-19 has hit Queensland, some families, like the Brodies, have been unlucky enough to be hit by COVID more than once while also dealing with the disruption of the floods.
The first time, in February, the entire family caught the virus, but this time only her husband has so far tested positive. "We tried to work out if it was any of his friends that might have been unwell and had it and he said, 'Who knows?' Ms Brodie said"I'm not sure he really understood that they were all off because they were most likely unwell or isolating their families."
"This is a little bit more infectious than the original Omicron, probably 30 to 50 per cent," he said. "I'm just not surprised that we're going through this wave now, because of course that is going to happen when we're fully open and we're living with it," Ms Brodie said.
