The next case to emerge was a guest at the hotel who left HQ on Dec 7 after completing their 14 days
They were tested as a result of the AO testing positive
That result came back on the 9th
I have worked all day on the Holiday Inn Cluster timeline
The first case was reported late on Feb 7
This was the Authorised Officer who tested negative after a shift on Feb 4, returned to work on the 7th, developed symptoms and tested positive

All had B.1.1.7 VOC
That family was transferred to a hot hotel on Feb 4
The father in the family of 3 was admitted to ICU on the 9th
The intersection point is a hotel quarantine worker and it is a little confusing as the TLs overlap
A man in his 30s from the Coburg area who had been at a Private Dining function on the 6th
38 guests and staff at the function were told to quarantine that night
He was also a friend of a HQW
The night before, the 6th, she had been at the Dinning Function
As an identified close contact through her work at the Holiday Inn she quarantined on the 9th and tested on the 10th which was positive
They retested the HQW's Feb 7th sample and it returned a weak positive leading investigators to conclude the first test was a false negative (a rarity)
More from Society
This is a piece I've been thinking about for a long time. One of the most dominant policy ideas in Washington is that policy should, always and everywhere, move parents into paid labor. But what if that's wrong?
My reporting here convinced me that there's no large effect in either direction on labor force participation from child allowances. Canada has a bigger one than either Romney or Biden are considering, and more labor force participation among women.
But what if that wasn't true?
Forcing parents into low-wage, often exploitative, jobs by threatening them and their children with poverty may be counted as a success by some policymakers, but it’s a sign of a society that doesn’t value the most essential forms of labor.
The problem is in the very language we use. If I left my job as a New York Times columnist to care for my 2-year-old son, I’d be described as leaving the labor force. But as much as I adore him, there is no doubt I’d be working harder. I wouldn't have stopped working!
I tried to render conservative objections here fairly. I appreciate that @swinshi talked with me, and I'm sorry I couldn't include everything he said. I'll say I believe I used his strongest arguments, not more speculative ones, in the piece.

I appreciate his intellectual curiosity and effort. I have quibbles. But my big disappointment is there was no mention of unintended consequences, which we discussed and which are kind of THE core conservative concern on this issue.
