Coronavirus Outbreak

Interesting article. The author is a labor politician which means not much but I think it encapsulates the paradigm shift of thinking that is on the horizon.

So the test electorate for lifting will likely be Northern Beaches. Wonder whether it will be the electorate of Gladys or Hazzard.

I do note the vaccine rates there are lower than other suburbs.

None of the decisions around restrictions or deeming areas high risk is in anyway influenced by politics.

it would probably be worth opening up the suburbs with less cases as a precaution towards opening up fully as you would risk having the cases sky rocket and the opening be stalled.

14th of October is when there will be a test opening up of some of the suburbs.

I'm lucky as mine is one of them.

Do you have a spare room I can move into?

Vaccinations for 39 and below is way below that of older age groups. Re-opening would disadvantage these residents and be inequitable.

Prof on 9 just a minute ago believes Sydney will be in lockdown until Christmas, perhaps a bit longer. He said when vaccination rates hit 70%, numbers must be reduced and the Doherty modelling suggested 30 per day was an acceptable figure. It seems someone is not telling the public the truth.

Are you suggesting that politicians lie ......

Interesting, the head of Doherty came out a week ago and said you can re-open with more cases but with some trade-offs:

https://www.afr.com/policy/health-and-education/reopening-with-hundreds-of-cases-is-safe-doherty-20210824-p58ld9

But reading the article...

Opening with high vaccination rates and good testing, contact tracing etc: 13 deaths

Opening with 70% coverage and less than ideal contact tracing and testing: 1457 deaths

Personally I find it extremely offensive to effectively tell over 1400 Aussies who are elderly, disabled, unwell, war veterans or Aboriginal that they don't matter as much as opening up so Gerry Harvey making can make a few more bucks from Christmas sales.

I dont think the Doherty modelling suggests 30 cases a day is acceptable? In my reading it was a lot higher than that.

Again, you have a specialist on 9 advising this today!

Again......because a "specialist" is on television doesnt make things a fact.

Does the Doherty modelling say 30 cases a day is acceptable or does the Doherty modelling quote a higher figure? Simple. It is a fact.

A Professor from Melbourne. Because you don't accept it doesn't mean it is not fact.

I’m about to get the jab in a couple of hours. First dose. I can think of nothing better to thanks my crippling fear of needles.

You'll be right. I got my first Pfizer yesterday. Got some muscle aches and a sore injection site but other than that I am fine. No headaches, no fever and no pericarditis!

Trust me, you'd rather the prick than a ventilator.

I’ve heard about sore arms. So gonna get it in my right atm (non dominant)

It would be advisable. I got mine in the left. I also sleep on my RH side.

That was a pretty uncomfortable sleep.
