A local cover band who played at the RSL where Sydney s virus cluster started have become the punching bag for furious Aussies as thousands of northern beaches residents face scuppered plans in the lead-up to Christmas. Nothing Too Serious, a group comprising of northern beaches residents, have borne the brunt of frustrated Sydneysiders after they were named by Health Minister Brad Hazzard in a press conference this week and mistakenly labelled superspreaders . One particularly strong comment written in caps lock beneath the Facebook event for the Avalon RSL Club gig last Friday reads:
HOW DARE YOU!!!!! BECAUSE OF YOU COVIDIOTS, I CAN T FLY TO SYDNEY TO SEE ME SISTER WHO IS FIGHTING CANCER. I HOPE KARMA GETS YOU!!!!!!!
No one rang me from the RSL or the bowlo, no one from NSW Health, he said.
The concreter went and got tested on Wednesday and was in isolation yesterday when he got the call saying he was positive. I couldn t believe it; I d had no symptoms at all. I d just done the right thing by going to get tested.

He said he had no symptoms of the virus when he was tested, and even now just feels a bit clammy with a slightly dry cough .
A tradesman who sat down for a burger and had no interaction with anyone whatsoever has tested positive for coronavirus.
Peter Greenwood is now one of 28 cases linked to the growing Northern Beaches cluster in Sydney, after he attended the Avalon RSL on Friday night and Avalon Bowlo on Sunday afternoon.
The local resident said he had no symptoms before testing positive yesterday and was not contacted by anyone at the venues or from the government.
It was only a phone call from a friend asking him if he had heard about the outbreak linked to the venues which prompted him to get a swab.
