So Gladys might be comfortable with the measures put in place, but I haven't been and am now angry at the snail's pace of applying reasonable restrictions.

I was at Meadowbank TAFE yesterday with my wife and trying to work out whether we were in building J. There is a QR code system there, but it didn't operate with the NSW Service App.

If my late eighties parents and others we have passed since our hours spent there been exposed since our visit, I will be livid.



But you werent there on the 16th?

You're correct, no I wasn't, though my wife was there last week and was contacted by them today, then she spoke with me afterwards.

I will speak with her shortly and try to make sense of it.

Sure, China hid a lot of what was happening, but they had hospitals built in a couple of weeks, whilst our federal government is still quibbling over even just sorting out plans for what will still likely be state run suitable quarantine facilities 18 bloody months on.

I said this at the start of this whole event. People criticise China and rightly so but they are going to act so much quicker and tougher in certain ways.

They just get stuff done and stuff the people.

Yes brutal totalitarian one-party states that don't tolerate any dissent and run concentration camps do 'get things done' I suppose.

Contrary to what many think, most Chinese are pretty happy with their government, irrespective of their draconian behaviour. They have lifted over half a billion people out of poverty in half a decade. Like the USSR previously, they have gone from being an agrarian nation to having their own space programme, a rapidly expanding economy like the world has never seen, and are on their way to becoming a superpower.

As long as life keeps improving for the average Chinese person, nothing will change there. Yeah the intellectuals don't like it, but they have always been at the forefront of dissent toward authoritarian governments.

If the Chinese wanted democracy, they would have it.

If the Chinese wanted democracy, **they would have it**.
Are you sure about that?

I had my first Pfizer vaccine on Monday.

I must say that I was extremely impressed with the set-up.

Within a few minutes it was all done and after waiting the mandatory 15 minutes, I was back in my car heading home.

No reactions, nothing unusual.

I'll be interested to know how you go in just a few weeks after your 2nd dose.
Hoping to hear no side effects again obviously.

I had my 2 shots at Olympic park . Smooth process and even better zero side effects

How long since your 2nd shot @Rugba ?

Especially with people now refusing to do what the health specialists say because they say it "can't be a coincidence it always happens during the holidays". Apparently to a surprising amount of people this is the country's way of controlling the people

the other one is:

biosecurity control order maximum 12 months
federal one first called 17th june
can't extend it under the biosecurity act
now there's the delta variant, enough of a change to issue a new biosecurity control order for another 12 months

So Sydney's eastern suburbs including the city are in lockdown for a week.

Just wonder if people from outside those area can head into the city?

Might be a great time for a visit to Bondi with no locals or and about

The riff ?

What are the chances of this limited Sydney lockdown being effective?

Like a lot of people, I've got the next week and a half off for school holidays and am meant to stay at home (due to working in the CBD) but can't see how anyone would know?

Doubt it will work
NSW runs on the idea that everyone is a honest person and will do the right thing for the greater good. Unfortunately that isn't the case, and as the Hoxton Park party has shown its hitting at almost 50% and as the shopping chance case of two people passing shows it doesn't take much to transmit. A few dishonest people and the lock down will extend and spread to more areas as the virus spreads out. I'm sure Camden will be on the list next with a daycare, woolies and movie theatre all on the list

So long as you don't need to check in anywhere, otherwise they would probably know.

Although yeah, just working in CBD (I do also) they'd have to dig fairly deep to find out haha.

Too late for the Nepean downstream at the Hawkesbury Bridge as well, with plenty of those wanting to depart having already crossed it heading north.

Even yesterday the freeway was busier than it usually is approaching school holidays.
