![]() Ignoring the distorted numbers at the beginning where there wasn't enough testing in place to identify real case numbers which artificially inflated CMR, it got as low as 1.2% in October last year but is trending upward again currently.

That’s about so progressive as chucking your asbestos in the stock dam to get rid of it. How does he think forcible containment will help people within Sydney? It’s already being conceded that many transmissions are occurring in legitimate, honest, predictable activities, and that many people with negligible symptoms and no prior requirement to get tested, are carrying the virus.

And then there is Kerry Chant NSW Health, fast forward to 5:20, total scaremongering. Don't talk to anyone ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVFLdnDEjaI Gladys should sack Chant, she is not part of the solution, she is a problem! Last edited by cheap; 23-07-2021 at 03:57 PM. |

Doesnt mean the other states are ignored, but make certain LGA's a priority and that would mean a radius from SYD and MEL for a start.

can you imagine your obvious alpha male heterosexual attitude fitting in at the ABC? You would be cast as a mysogynistic sycopathic male.. Think of the ABC (with 97% female journos according to the Annual Report) as being the fun police..

I hadn’t thought about it much but yeah I guess the extremely low cases would be a driver for my line of thinking. Even if I do get it, statistically I probably wouldn’t even know unless I get tested, it seems the vast majority don’t get any symptoms at all, or only very mild symptoms. I get bad hay fever fairly regularly so who knows, maybe I’ve already had it and I thought it was hay fever? I still don’t know anyone that’s had it, it almost feels like I’m watching a movie or something it’s so detached from my reality. Having to wear a mask for the last two weeks is pretty much the worst of my covid experience this far. |

There's only been 32000 cases in Australia.
So its no surprise you havnt known anyone that has had it. Alot of countries have seen more cases in a day than that.

I thought the same, till a co-workers dad caught it. He has been absent from work (close contact) for last 16days, been tested every 5 days, all his tests negative. everyone else who has worked with him, tested negative. Still a bit anxious on his return next week.

The positive is that the vaccination rate is picking up quite a lot. It would be a lot better if not for the hit job on AZ but what can you do.
The ACT has opened registrations for 30-39s. I tried doing it online but can't do it because I've never been in the ACT system despite living here my whole life ![]() I called the phone number near closing time and after nearly 3 minutes of VR blah blah I was put in the queue and was 38th which is not that much but meh. Hang up. No risk here at the moment so I can't be arsed with it, maybe try again in a couple of days. |

Our isolation has given us some time to prepare, but some think it means they don't have to do anything right now. It's coming, and even fully vaxxed it looks like it's going to be terrible. Face it head on and just hope for yourself and family etc, because we can't be locked up forever. |

I am no going to respond to any one person in this post but just a general comment
What does CCP, roads and ports have to do with COVID? What aren't people as critical of the Labor Premier of W.A. or the Liberal Premier of Tasmania? or the Liberal Premier of S.A. - they have shut the borders tighter than fishes ****s? Why aren't people getting stuck into the Premier of NSW for her lack of containment? You rip into the Victorian Premier but not the NSW Why aren't people ripping into the Prime Minister for leading (again) an abysmal response? You people are sounding like the masses who did the full hatchet job on Julia Gillard (which BTW still continues to day) - this is about the COVID Grow up

Had a few instances where a workmate has been in the area of clusters when they began, have had to self-isolate while they await test results, and then had to prepare for if they come back positive that we'd be out of work until the cluster dissolves. Luckily none of it has come to anything so far, but with only 3,000 cases if we've had these few close calls as it is, I don't feel like it would take much for the virus to take hold in NZ. In saying that, I don't know anyone directly who has had it, but we interact with people on a daily basis who interact with more people on a daily basis and it's kind of like a '... and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends...' situation. It's kind of a joke here in NZ that everyone knows each other by only two degrees of separation, so it seems that everyone knows someone who knows someone who's had it ![]() |

We have had deaths at our organisation in centres located in the US, so management globally take it extremely seriously e.g. all our offices are now fitted with the facial temperature checker, the one where you can see a video of yourself, and there is a person out the front checking that you use it every time. There are cleaners going through all the high touch points every few minutes. We are even now considering providing funding for essential office staff to rent cars rather letting them catch public transport. BTW, has NZ had ANY hotel leaks?
