Coronavirus Outbreak

[jadtiger]

Apart from the lockdowns, tomorrow covid will have the most influence on my life thus far as we won't be able to say goodbye in person to a relative and friend who passed at the grand age of 99 last week.

Still, I suppose that we are lucky to live in an age where we can at least join in on a digital platform. For a bit of levity at this sad time and @Snake, the guy we will be farewelling is Joe Blake.

I havent seen my wife since covid started and am very unlikely to see her again it is destroying us both but there is nothing i can do to fix it as she cant get a vaccination in the phillipines to come home.

I am very sorry to learn of your personal situation.

Delta is jumping the Western Hwy recorded cases now in PARRA LGA .

do you reckon Parramatta lga will end up with restrictions like south West and cumberland

I think it's going to be state wide, very shortly.

The talks are getting strong.

@cochise what do u think?

I think some areas of Sydney will get a slight easing of restrictions while others will have them tighten.

The line that the Premier kept repeating on Friday has me worried, a pathway to living safely and freely. I am worried we will loosen restrictions and attempt to keep a cap on numbers instead of tightening down and trying to get it back to zero.

I think the construction industry is playing a part in this by pressuring to reopen which I think would be a mistake as well.

its disgusting an industry and even businesses (harvey norman but not so much in this case) has enough pull to put lives at risk and sway someone of such power to fold after what a week? whilst small business owners have been closed up for months

i go through at least 3 roadwork zones on my way to work which have come to a complete stand still, it's going to delay the work far more than the 1 or 2 weeks that its closed down for. i don't agree it was the right call, if anything construction could have been ramped up and implemented rapid testing on them, perfect timing to get projects completed. but when you make that big call, on your own back, stick to it, don't fold after a week cause the industry complained.
It drives me up the wall that we have a low value import tax because Gerry Harvey whinged he can't make a buck from charging extraorbitant prices for his goods which are available online cheaper and available from overseas at a fraction of that price if you're willing to wait for/risk the shipping
the pull that people have that shouldn't has now gone too far, she made a call, right or wrong, to close down construction, cases have still skyrocketed and she now turns around and says oh you know what, it's all good to resume work. stick to your guns like you have with the half assed lockdown approach.
and now with the mass amounts of shopping centres that are hot spots for multiple days, i can guarantee a WAG will be at one of those sites bring it home spread to the construction worker who will take down the site
either listen and follow the health advice fully as she was doing before making the construction call, or make your own calls and see it through until cases start to drop. making a call and then flipping it without any results just seems crazy and adds fuel to the fire for other fields to kick up a stink and get their work back on the essentials list and making a domino effect from there

My thoughts are with you both @formerguest and @jadtiger. It's tough in so many ways and I know you are both good people, doing the right thing in terrible circumstances.

I havent seen my wife since covid started and am very unlikely to see her again it is destroying us both but there is nothing i can do to fix it as she cant get a vaccination in the phillipines to come home.

That’s terrible. I feel for you and your wife, it must be very difficult to deal with. Thinking of you both and hoping this will end soon so that you can be reunited.

Mate, I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I can't imagine how you both must be feeling. I hope that somehow the situation eases in the future so you can be together again.

That situation really sucks.

My wife is from the phillipines and her parents are there now. It's good for me because they've been there the whole time. They've been vaccinated with the Sinovax vaccine but I think it's only like 5% of the population who have been vaccinated.

https://knoema.com/atlas/Sweden/Death-rate

9.1 per 1000 in 2020
9.1 per 1000 in 2019
9.2 per 1000 in 2018
9.7 per 1000 in 2010

No extra deaths in the death rate

What has Sweden got to do with Australia?

There death rate with Covid in 2020 and there death rates from other years without lockdowns

That is a misuse of data.

How ?

Because it is an over simplification, for example did you investigate if any causes of death declined due to less mobility?

9.1 per 1000 people died in 2020 in Sweden all cause mortality that includes covid deaths

They have average alot higher in 2010

Man, stop hiding behind convenient data, and tell us what you think of the reality (or otherwise) of Covid-19. You seem to be one of those conspiracy theorists, just not brave enough to say it.

Do you think I am a conspiracy theorists like the global warming people ?

As from 11am Parramatta and George’s river LGA’S on the black list … the government has lost control and needs some back bone ! Military road blocks and curfews need to be implemented immediately as the fools spreading this have complete disregard for there fellow citizens. The premier needs to stand down with that moron health minister! Harsh actions are required or we will be in dire straits .!

Lockdown won't work unless tougher restrictions are forthcoming in the LGAs of concern. Night curfews and strict stay out home orders with NSW Police patrols.
