Coronavirus Outbreak

I would bet there has been pretty robust discussion in the halls of the NSW Government about easing restrictions in areas other than those of concern.

Gladys backing way off about her carrot of freedom at 70% vaccination rate. Now with a huge qualification about numbers.

Isnt this dependent on the federal plan (freedom at 80%)?

The only consistent messages she has had the last 2 months are get vaccinated & it is all someone else's fault

It's just dribble. They lost control of contact tracing more than a week ago and Gladys answering even less questions at every appearance, just more and more drivel.

Poor bastards, even rolled out the Flintstones version Volvo.

So Four Weddings and a Funeral from next week announced on another record day with messaging tied in knots, Paramedics, many health workers overwhelmed and a double vaccinated colleague in ICU.

I thought this was a bit stupid. They aren't even having vaccine mandates in this situation.

It's pretty funny actually.

So how should we receive this news of the double vaxxed nurse? And also the nurse would have been reminded daily and would have been following the best Hygiene practices at the hospital,
Were we not made to believe that being fully vaxxed would keep out of ICU,
how do we explain this news now?
Is this not very concerning?

We were never told that being fully vaxxed would keep you out of hospital? We were told that it makes you 25 times less likely to be hospitalised and 25 time less likely to die. Pretty simple to understand really.

Thanks @cochise , but my point was, we were made to beleive that being double vaxxed would at least keep you out of the ICU or would be almost no chance.

Public Health England analysis show an 8% chance of hospitalisation if infected and double vaxxed with AZ or 4% chance of hospitalisation if double vaxxed with Pfizer.

Low chance but not zero.

Thanks for that mate, it is a very explanatory answer.

To be honest, for me this data poses more questions.

This data (and others seem to be the same) states you have 4% chance of hospitalisation if you catch Delta double vaxxed with Pfizer, 8% with AZ.

Currently there are 14671 active cases in NSW with 761 in hospital. If we reduce the total number by say 5500 for the last week (assume it takes a week to get that sick) that is 9171 cases and the 761 in hospital represents 8%. Can only assume that at least more than 50% of the cases are unvaxxed (probably a lot more). My point being on these numbers I dont see how the vaccine is reducing the risk (once you have the infection) of hospitalisation.

I genuinely dont want to argue a case against vaccine effectiveness, and of course the vaccine will also reduce the risk of contracting, but I'd be keen for someone to walk me through how there is much of a reduction.

Pretty sure I read about a week back that 4.5% of Victoria's 500 odd cases at the time it was reported were double vaxxed. Not hospitalisations, 4.5% of total cases.

Would be nice for the Blue Mountains.

Central Coast & Wollongong/Shellharbour have more infections, but is now classified as regional.

So the woman just takes someones word for it and spreads probable crap to all and sundry.Funnily enough she didnt mention the friends name.As Harry Hoo would say AMAZING

I'd like to see a @Juro curve on the cases in Sydney vs the pages on the Corona Virus thread.

Is that because the Juro curve always ends on zero?

LOL Wow !

Funny as I read the first tweet my thoughts were along the same lines as the reply. How stupid can people be. If you are going to make up a story at least make it believable.

That whole sequence with the tweets and the cartoon is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Full marks to Tim Stillman for one of the sharpest and funniest replies ever.

It will be a Gold Standard day when Glady actually answers the question that's been asked..

At least she fronts up for the daily NSW briefings.When was the last time you saw "The liar from the Shire" answering questions,much of this problem is because he failed terribly in his vaccine rollout.
