I think the beast is out of the bottle get vaccinated and practise safe habits we live now as Dr Chant has recommended treat every person you come across as having COVID !

The beast has been out of the bottle for a couple of months. I still think people aren't getting the Delta variant is a different beast.

If you look at the US I think it was about May when everything ticked up again. The Delta variant just went bonkers. Vaccination at around I think 50% caused a massive drop off and people thought they'd won. Then came the delta variant. It's not as bad due to people being vaccinated but for those people that aren't vaccinated it's a disaster.

Reckon we are heading to 500 plus cases a day by next Friday the 20th unless some reasonable change is made, and interested in others thoughts?

I agree honestly the way Gladdy talks each day does not give us any positivity moving forward .. all other LGA’s are fully locked down all Labor seats the Penrith LGA is a liberal seat (swinging seat) so they are cherry picked per suburb, so why are other suburbs in other locked down areas with no COVID cases still locked down ?
The lock down is not working looks like Burwood and the inner west LGA’s to be locked down later this week , all the talk spewed out by the government is get vaccinated that tells me it’s out of control and the only way to stop it is herd immunity .
I think the beast is out of the bottle get vaccinated and practise safe habits we live now as **Dr Chant has recommended treat every person you come across as having COVID !**
I support your concerns fully !

I am just so frustrated this time around and whilst a political person, I honestly haven't looked at those boundaries, though I am aware of some of the seats incumbents.

I am more concerned about the different approaches across LGA's and as you alluded to above the creep into others, along with your bolded words above and the ridiculousness of @cochise being 50 odd metres away from more freedoms.

Cannot believe that the simple rule of masks being mandatory everywhere is still not in place as soon as you leave your home or vehicle, with very limited exemptions other than younger children.

Mmk...

Likely for some Newcastle/Hunter lockdowns to be extended today, allegedly.

I think once summer hits, it's going to be extremely hard to keep people inside and not going to the beach.

Should be a rush to get this sorted as best they can before summer, IMO.

The cutoff points for the Hunter lockdowns were weird, ending at Muswellbrook and not including Aberdeen or Scone was a mistake and I would expect that to be extended.

Yeah, pretty weird...
I'm reading they'll extend lockdowns 2 weeks.
Likely, later today.

Feel sorry for everyone impacted, across the country.

Will be announced at 11 mate

Indeed.

I'll put on that Covid-19 channel on Foxtel and see what they have to say.

Hope you're holding up well Cochise.

Finding it tough, 7 weeks in. Its really hard for my daughter, it is getting to her and she was begging me last night to let her go to school for just one day. She is 8 and hasn't played with another kid for 7 weeks, it really is a little heart breaking to see the negative impact it is having on her.

That's rough.
There is no replacing the social aspect of schooling.
Hoping it works its self out soon.

The iPad and messenger for kids works a treat but isn't the same.

Yeah, I always said I wouldn't get her an ipad but relented for that very reason. Been buying things like totem tennis and things to keep her busy, but its hard when she is by herself and only has me to play with.

100%
You're aware but just a reminder, you're not the only one feeling this way. Hard time for all, unfortunately.

These lockdowns are isolating and no surprise the mental health hospitals and services are getting smashed.

Hope everyone's handling it the best they can, utilising whatever they have inside their homes to keep busy and keep their mind active.

This is a challenge and hopefully we'll all be stronger after conquering it.

Inbox is open for anyone feeling they need a chat.

Thanks mate, I'm actually feeling a lot better than I did last week.

Just going to jump in and say I completely understand how you feel. We have a 5 year old who has an anxiety disorder so he is really feeling it. He just wants to play all the time with me and we have really had to adjust our expectations around technology at home. We also have an 8 week old who has barely seen anyone outside the 3 of us since he was born. The kids are feeling this the most.

I'm not a big supporter of tech for kids, I don't like my daughter to have a lot of screen time. That has changed during the past 7 weeks, it is her connection to the outside world. We have a pretty good routine going now which I think it important. We spread he home learning out like it is school day with lunch and recess breaks and allow her to play inbetween. That works really well for my daughter and keeps her engaged.

I spent 20 years as a teacher and school principal and will state for everyone that the learning isn't important at the moment, don't worry about how much you are achieving or if you are completing everything. Routine and mental health is important for both yourself and your children, making them feel safe and secure is of the utmost importance through all this. What works for my family may be totally different for what works in yours. It is hard and everyone's tensions are frayed, including your kids, look after each other and everyone will get through this.

My daughter just told me she has had enough of me and my music lol.

Yep agree the learning isn’t the important part now. I work in education in a role supporting 20 schools with wellbeing and disability concerns and a lot of parents are calling freaking out about the educational side of things and it is hard to get them to see that that shouldn’t be the focus at the moment

I have two kids going through their HSC (year 11) now and its an added layer of pressure in lockdown. One daughter thriving on it, crushing the other.

Great approach by the Queensland health team, with Pfizer just opened to all over 16yo as I type.

Might be "open" to them, but is it available? Isnt availability the big issues with Pfizer?

Its entirely possible but as I said recently in another post, the case numbers are not increasing exponentially and are staying reasonably stable, maybe slowly increasing linearly. The lockdown is at least doing a job of stopping that exponential rate of growth but the more it spreads geographically, the harder to contain obviously.

Some positive to come out of Gladys today. They reckon we will be at 70% vaxxed by end of October and then will open the doors. THat seems doable.

Why can't people do the right thing?

Always a few bad eggs...

Hopefully we hit those vaccination targets.
I'm booking in when I'm back at work.

Seem fairly resigned to vaccination being the only way out.

Looks that way.

My work has phizer available to the staff through another provider.
Biting the bullet and doing it.

Then maybe @hobbo1 can stop calling me soft. ?

My 17 yo son got his first shot last night. You are mad not to get vaccinated.

Opinion piece or fact?

I think that I heard an extra 150k openings had been made available there due to the early allocation of million/s from the company.

This is what I dont understand. Another 150K openings? For 16yo's? Ive been waiting weeks and still have 3 weeks to go. Why not bring forward the jab for older people?

I dont know this for sure but what it seems to me is that people do the right thing and make a booking for it and book a place for weeks in advance, then someone kicks up a fuss or an employer "needs" it for staff and it gets prioritised whereas everyday people in catagories that need it, who do the right thing get pushed back on the list.

They have done a really good job of flattening the growth but can't get it to curve downwards.

A lot of younger people are opting for AZ. Those who are under 60 and without medical conditions need to get the AZ. You shouldn't have to make the choice but that is the reality of the situation.

My wife, who has a medical exemption, was standing on a corner drinking an orange juice waiting for my daughter who was getting out of the car, to go for a walk. A police car stops opposite and yells at her to "put her mask on"
I'm not okay with that!
