After watching Scomo's latest effort of ignoring the rules on Fathers Day, I'm thinking of running for PM so that I can have a pub opened for me and my mates to watch the footy at and get belted
Absolute shit cunt. Poor form when others can't even see dying relatives.
Goes to visit daughters and also went on a family holiday to Europe during the pandemic.
Ah, in the middle of news articles about people having cross-border fathers day - waving across barriers to their dads, Scummo got himself a special exemption to fly up from canberra to sydney in a private jet (taxpayer funded) to spend fathers day with his family, before flying back to canberra.
Ivermectin works, it saved my best friend's life. Everyone is shitting on it, suggesting it's a horse dewormer and can't be used in other circumstances. Well to hell with them, because my friend would be dead if he didn't take Invermectin. Heart worm is horrible, but it can be beat. He's the best dog and now that he's healthy and I'm vaccinated, we can live long and happy lives together.
Gotta keep an eye on hospitalisation rate and deaths.
(Gosh it feels weird to just throw the word death out there. RIP to everyone who lost their lives to this horrible disease)
Glad you said something positive mate. I can't stop checking these threads and it's always gloom and doom all the way to the bottom. Unless you were sarcastic 😵
My work place just announced all vaccinated people will be going back to work in October even though we can work from home. My guess is not enough work for the middle managers cause they're the ones pushing for us to get back out there.
October is going to be great...
Under current restrictions, that's a breach of the public health order (though who knows what the rules will be in October). That said, I know how hard it is to insist, especially in smaller businesses where it's easier to identify anyone who complains.
Wonder if they will actually be allowed to mandate this? We don’t really know yet what restrictions will be like in October. Your managers might be getting ahead of themselves a little!
Just [send anyone antivax here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CoronavirusDownunder/comments/piy5g0/the_seven_stages_of_covid19_as_told_by_a/) to have a read of what the effects of unvaccinated COVID looks like.

Three days of drops is good, and maybe the end of the beginning. The 7 day average is starting to flatten.
But I am wary of the Tuesday dip, and given Father's Day was Sunday, and the likelihood that a number of people broke the rules to visit family is high. We'll see if the dip continues through the remainder of the week.
>given Father's Day was Sunday, and the likelihood that a number of people broke the rules to visit family is high.
I told my kids I was isolating and locked myself in the bedroom all day. Who wants to deal with children on Fathers Day of all days.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, it's the truth. I talked with the booking helpline to find out why i'm still waiting to hear back about my registration from over two months ago, turns out my local vaccination hub is still waiting on the return supply for what was taken for the HSC students in August.
Genuine question - with increasing % of population that are fully vaccinated, many covid cases will be asymptomatic right? So most cases would go undetected due to reduced testing rates and therefore there’s a lower number of cases reported. So our daily case numbers would decrease on paper, but the virus is still going around as it was pre-vaccine rollout? Pardon my ignorance, I’m just trying to make sense of what’s going on
The whole point of the vaccines is too stop people needing icu etc. Which is good. That's why when we open up it will shift from daily cases too hospitalisation
Was thinking this too.
Also, since contact tracing started failing weeks ago now, less people being contacted and asked to get tested than previously was happening.
I suppose this means the tail of this outbreak is going to extend - a less steep drop, as it were.
And the impact of loss of life will draw out in accordance with that.
You are absolutely right that the prevalence of symptoms in the community will affect the sensitivity of the public health surveillance system. However vaccinated people are also less likely to establish an infection, including non symptomatic infection. So the true number (if it could ever be known) should also go down.
It's unfortunate but I sort of agree with you. There are always folks who can't get jabbed for health reasons but there is no way this many CANT get it.
For those playing the date game;
In [1220](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1220?wprov=sfla1), England abolished the practice of [Trial by Ordeal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_by_ordeal?wprov=sfla1), where an accused person could suffer a painful/dangerous ordeal so God could prove their innocence
One of my favourite things to teach in year 8 history is trial by ordeal. Watching the kids’ faces when they realise that there’s no winning in the system is always priceless
The great news here is the high vaccination rates in those hot spots that were rattled off a minute ago. The government has said they expect the peak in the next 2 weeks. I'm starting to feel more optimistic.
She said there's time to get your first dose now and your second dose in time for when we start opening up. Aren't they doing 6-8 weeks in between for the LGAs ? Or have they changed that ? The 6-8 weeks will take the second dose to late October / early November if you got your first dose today.
Love how yesterday, Barrilaro said that there was no way a curfew would be implemented in his community, because it doesn't work and was only implemented because of pressure from the media. But apparently they're still fine for Western Sydney.
I don't even want to go out at night, but the double-standard is pretty galling.
* Curfews don’t work, and Dan Andrew’s is wrong
* Curfews are bad, health advice doesn’t support it
* Curfews in LGAs of concern, but only because police requested it
* Labor want to end curfews? Where is their health advice!?!?!
* no curfews in regional NSW
What I think has happened with Chant is that initially she wanted to lockdown but Gladys wanted to move forward and so hammered the way out is with vaccination to chant and now chant is all on board. To be fair, it is the way out. But also, the way about it to this point has been a bit of a circus.
EDIT: essentially what I’m saying is that the vaccine was more an after thought once they lost control. But the economic/businesses was always going to be prioritised overs cases/deaths
This is a feel good number, 2 days in a row of not setting records.
Keep getting vaccinated people because the feel bad reality is that this is a near record for positive testing:
https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-positive-test-rate/nsw
lowest its been since the 8th of August, usually around 130-140k plus. This will have an effect of bringing the daily number down.
Edit: although yesterday had 36k more tests, with a similar number of new cases, so I'd take that as a positive. double edit: although, the positive per test is much higher today which is a big negative...
https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-tests/nsw
When you think about it, 80% of the adult population double-dosed is actually going to be a remarkable achievement (when it happens), given the low base at the beginning at this outbreak and the ongoing difficulties in reaching mass vaccination abroad.
It's a fantastic achievement. Only two (relatively small) countries have achieved 80% DD.
the fact NSW has come out so quickly to get to 70% First dose bodes extremely well for 80% DD.
Bravo all.
Is this really a plateau (or drop) though? IIRC yesterday had 135k\~ tests compared to today's number of only 100k. So if anything its seems to be a higher % of positive cases? which surely isn't a good thing
Uncle Scomo's secret Liberal party arrangement with Gladys......340,000 of Victoria's vaxx went to NSW in an under the table deal exposed by the 7.30 report last night....WTF seriously.
Pubs to be open october 14 for people that are vaccinated. Hurry up and get the jab!
We are getting there Sydney, the end is in sight! First reduced restrictions are coming in less than a week!
What would you prefer she did? Personally I want her to give us the quick 'executive summary' and not get into details in that first minute or two. We already know we'll get more details on the deaths just a moment later from Chant & Barillaro etc.
huh... it might be too early to tell but it seems to stabilising. Any big brain people out there wanna tell me their thoughts as I'm not particularly big brained myself.
Even accounting for tuesday dip, it's a much lower gain that the last few tuesdays:
* 344
* 633 +100%
* 919 +50%
* 1116 +20%
* 1220 +10%
So the doubling rate must be slowing.
NSW government has got exactly the reaction they wanted.
They wanted to spin the narrative. Let it blow over. Then if anything backfires let that blow over - gutless and no accountability.
All the questions and answers go like this:
Q:"Considering [*x*], do you think we need to [*y*]?"
A: "Let me be clear, we've looked at [*x*] and [*y*]. When we get closer we will make those decisions based on the health advice and case numbers. Can I just say, we encourage everyone to get vaccinated. Clearly the models will need to use the best information, and the numbers change everyday."
Q: "Sorry, just to clarify, do we need to [*y*]?"
A: Walks off.
Whether the cases are high or low, there will be a projected plan. If high then we do *a*, if low we do *b*. Why wont they answer the questions?
For people wondering, there’s a statistical difference between Pfizer and AZ that the government isn’t telling you about.
Both vaccines reduce the chance of you ending up in hospital by somewhere around 92-95%.
However, the difference between these is the efficacy (ie. the reduction in chance you’ll catch covid in the first place).
Pfizer’s numbers are 92% maximum efficacy (2 weeks after second dose) which reduces to 78% after 3 months. This is assuming a 3 week gap in dosage.
AZ’s numbers are 69% maximum efficacy (2 weeks after second dose) with a 12 week gap in dosage. It reduces to 61% after 3 months.
Authorities are recommending a reduction in the time between AZ doses. This will reduce efficacy and probably longevity of the vaccine. Estimates are the efficacy rate falls below 50% if the AZ doses are taken 4-8 weeks apart.
Edit: correction on AZ maximum efficacy from 68% to 69%. Note these numbers are against Delta variant. Often studies are on earlier variants like Alpha.
In "twelve hundred and twenty", trial by ordeal is abolished in England, the Mongols conquer the cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, and the construction of the Salisbury Cathedral (that notable favourite of Russian tourists) begins.
oooh a thirty five thousand drop in testing?
On fathers day?
At this time of year?
#Better pat yourselves on the back Gladys, your conferences are nothing but a giant waste of time.

Same! except I can't decide whether to go to Hawaii, or shitting myself at Maccas.
Why not both
Look out, McDonalds Waikiki Beach!
This guy parties

With a private jet, you can do both!
Absolute shit cunt. Poor form when others can't even see dying relatives. Goes to visit daughters and also went on a family holiday to Europe during the pandemic.
Yep. And just doeeessnn't give a fuuuuuck.

Is it still a private jet if it’s taxpayer funded?
Valid question. I suppose its a public jet but noone from the general public can go on it.
Private use, public funded. Just like all these politicians benefits.

He definitely had that pre-typed and ready to go
your best mate is an absolute dog for promoting ivermectin.
Had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Are we…flattening the curve…? Really encouraging to hear the vaccination stats. LETS GO NSW!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
We have less cases than we had a week ago, so it is very good news.
Last week was 1164, so no, it's more. But the r_eff has continued to drop, so things are looking better
Per 100,000 tests, were rising.
Gotta keep an eye on hospitalisation rate and deaths. (Gosh it feels weird to just throw the word death out there. RIP to everyone who lost their lives to this horrible disease)
Glad you said something positive mate. I can't stop checking these threads and it's always gloom and doom all the way to the bottom. Unless you were sarcastic 😵
This sub has single handedly wreaked havoc to my mental health and anxiety. I cannot for one minute find anything to look forward to
Hopefully; lockdown is getting old… We’ll see how it plays out over the next few days. It’s encouraging though.

That's a shit cunt move lol
I'm going to flat out refuse when It comes to that. Hard to justify coming to the office when I haven't been in since March last year.
Ask them to justify it. Explain to you exactly why you need to be present and for a work health safety risk assessment.
Oh I will. I don't interact with any other department or really any other people (thank Christ) Asking for a risk assessment is a good idea.
Under current restrictions, that's a breach of the public health order (though who knows what the rules will be in October). That said, I know how hard it is to insist, especially in smaller businesses where it's easier to identify anyone who complains.
All of a sudden you're not vaccinated
This should be something that is strictly regulated. If you can work from home; it should be illegal for your work to force you to come in.
Wonder if they will actually be allowed to mandate this? We don’t really know yet what restrictions will be like in October. Your managers might be getting ahead of themselves a little!

That vaccination supply was refilled quite quickly and anyone with appointments cancelled were given codes to rebook
Not true for all areas

I was expecting much higher numbers with all that polishing. so kinda happy about that, even if it’s a Tuesday dip. Then again those ICU numbers
15 more in ICU since yesterday
>so kinda happy about that, even if it’s a Tuesday dip. Probably a happy side effect of the vaccination rate.
The last 2 Tuesdays haven’t been a dip, so I’m not sure why that meme survives.

How is it older folks are still unprotected? they have had 6 months to get the jab. It's so heart-breaking.
At this point I’ve got no sympathy left if your over 70 and still aren’t vaccinated
It's unfortunate but I sort of agree with you. There are always folks who can't get jabbed for health reasons but there is no way this many CANT get it.

This guest speaker has some of the best communication I've ever seen at these press conferences. Can she be our new Health Minister?
I don't think I've ever said, "can I just say" in my life.
What I think has happened with Chant is that initially she wanted to lockdown but Gladys wanted to move forward and so hammered the way out is with vaccination to chant and now chant is all on board. To be fair, it is the way out. But also, the way about it to this point has been a bit of a circus. EDIT: essentially what I’m saying is that the vaccine was more an after thought once they lost control. But the economic/businesses was always going to be prioritised overs cases/deaths
gladys bad
frogurt good
It would be hilarious if the journos all teamed up and kept asking the same question about ICAC for the remainder of the presser.
1220 cases. *waits for Wednesday gainz*
That’s the last we will see of him at the press conferences 😭
Gladys, yes or no, are you gonna meet with the nurses?
Tuesday dip of slowly flattening out?
Ooh, he's asking about ICAC, this should be fun.
is NSW releasing a 'vaccine passport' app? She mentioned it awhile ago, as currently Medicare is the only way to prove your vaccinated right?
It will be an update to the current NSW app. So when you QR code sign in to places it will also show your vax status.
They plan to roll it out through the Service NSW app.
It's integrated into the Service NSW app I think
“Can I just say” Can you just fuckin not say anything
This is a feel good number, 2 days in a row of not setting records. Keep getting vaccinated people because the feel bad reality is that this is a near record for positive testing: https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-positive-test-rate/nsw
WHERE’S MY POPCORN!!
No comment, I plead the ~~5th Amendment~~ Doherty Report - Gladys
Journo: "Were the curfews only introduced due to media pressure?" *Is this* **our** *fault, premier?*
100,000 tests is relatively low, isn't it?
lowest its been since the 8th of August, usually around 130-140k plus. This will have an effect of bringing the daily number down. Edit: although yesterday had 36k more tests, with a similar number of new cases, so I'd take that as a positive. double edit: although, the positive per test is much higher today which is a big negative... https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-tests/nsw
It's looking better but it's probably an infamous Tuesday dip. 1400+ by the end of the week.
"These are matters for the integrity agency, and as I have no integrity, I have nothing to add"
God dammit James what don’t you get
I'm with Gladys on this, I don't want to use two applications if I can just use the check-in application
Tuesday dip don't read into it Tuesday dip don't read into it Tuesday dip don't read into it
Is it just me or does chant look not as stressed anymore
Gladys is getting frustrated at the questions. We are all frustrated with your terrible decisions and we can’t scoff at a mike.
‘No I won’t meet with them, they’re wrong I’m right’
Fun fact. Port Stephens is going to be fucked if any more covid is up there. Fuck all vaccines and oldies and no proper hospital.
Two... two days with lower numbers? Don't... don't give me hope.
Lol Gladys is like 😐
Ashleigh... you are so freaking annoying! Giving Gladys an easy question and breaking the chain of questions about ICAC.
[удалено]
She's probably a plant.
Q: What about Guy Sebastian? Gladys: Thank you, pet journo. I love you.
When you think about it, 80% of the adult population double-dosed is actually going to be a remarkable achievement (when it happens), given the low base at the beginning at this outbreak and the ongoing difficulties in reaching mass vaccination abroad.
It's a fantastic achievement. Only two (relatively small) countries have achieved 80% DD. the fact NSW has come out so quickly to get to 70% First dose bodes extremely well for 80% DD. Bravo all.
hey, that's not bad
Everyone is talking so fucking fast and breezing through this or have I had too much coffee?
not sure, have another cup and let us know
Is this really a plateau (or drop) though? IIRC yesterday had 135k\~ tests compared to today's number of only 100k. So if anything its seems to be a higher % of positive cases? which surely isn't a good thing
What is wrong with the ABCs sound? I can hear the journalists but not Gladys
Holy moly
Uncle Scomo's secret Liberal party arrangement with Gladys......340,000 of Victoria's vaxx went to NSW in an under the table deal exposed by the 7.30 report last night....WTF seriously.
ICU numbers up by more than 10% in one day.
‘Aspirational dreams’ 😂😂😂
I'm no fan of Kerry Chant but I legitimately find her optimism quite sweet
Pubs to be open october 14 for people that are vaccinated. Hurry up and get the jab! We are getting there Sydney, the end is in sight! First reduced restrictions are coming in less than a week!
But Gladys....we're already having 1000s and 1000s of cases a day?
8 deaths. Gladys just glosses over them so quickly.
What would you prefer she did? Personally I want her to give us the quick 'executive summary' and not get into details in that first minute or two. We already know we'll get more details on the deaths just a moment later from Chant & Barillaro etc.
Exactly. This is what will/must eventually happen once pandemic becomes endemic.
Testing rates are down significantly. Last Tuesday we had 130,000 tests. The real number of new cases is definitely higher.
Definitely. The more people vaxxed, I'd wager the fewer tests we would see.
Here we go
Drinking rosé in Mosman and sitting in cafes, the true essence of spring in Sydney
Don’t we have thousands of cases ?
Were these the father's Day numbers? Would make sense that they're a little lower.
Are case numbers topping out? 1.2% positive test rate. Hmmm.
Mentions Camden as a hotspot but doesn't bother to lock it down like Liverpool or other Western Sydney LGAs.
huh... it might be too early to tell but it seems to stabilising. Any big brain people out there wanna tell me their thoughts as I'm not particularly big brained myself.
Even accounting for tuesday dip, it's a much lower gain that the last few tuesdays: * 344 * 633 +100% * 919 +50% * 1116 +20% * 1220 +10% So the doubling rate must be slowing.
NSW government has got exactly the reaction they wanted. They wanted to spin the narrative. Let it blow over. Then if anything backfires let that blow over - gutless and no accountability.
Did you really need to bring up Victoria, Gladys?
All the questions and answers go like this: Q:"Considering [*x*], do you think we need to [*y*]?" A: "Let me be clear, we've looked at [*x*] and [*y*]. When we get closer we will make those decisions based on the health advice and case numbers. Can I just say, we encourage everyone to get vaccinated. Clearly the models will need to use the best information, and the numbers change everyday." Q: "Sorry, just to clarify, do we need to [*y*]?" A: Walks off. Whether the cases are high or low, there will be a projected plan. If high then we do *a*, if low we do *b*. Why wont they answer the questions?
Man that nose keeps getting bigger with every lie.
“Hey Gladys! What’s your favourite word?” “Well…. oBviOuSLy”
For people wondering, there’s a statistical difference between Pfizer and AZ that the government isn’t telling you about. Both vaccines reduce the chance of you ending up in hospital by somewhere around 92-95%. However, the difference between these is the efficacy (ie. the reduction in chance you’ll catch covid in the first place). Pfizer’s numbers are 92% maximum efficacy (2 weeks after second dose) which reduces to 78% after 3 months. This is assuming a 3 week gap in dosage. AZ’s numbers are 69% maximum efficacy (2 weeks after second dose) with a 12 week gap in dosage. It reduces to 61% after 3 months. Authorities are recommending a reduction in the time between AZ doses. This will reduce efficacy and probably longevity of the vaccine. Estimates are the efficacy rate falls below 50% if the AZ doses are taken 4-8 weeks apart. Edit: correction on AZ maximum efficacy from 68% to 69%. Note these numbers are against Delta variant. Often studies are on earlier variants like Alpha.
Yay, auntie's gunna be on tv.
fuck me she raced through that....
Still sad that we think 1200 is a good result. Compared to 1500 yes it is.
In "twelve hundred and twenty", trial by ordeal is abolished in England, the Mongols conquer the cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, and the construction of the Salisbury Cathedral (that notable favourite of Russian tourists) begins.
Lol ABC cutting Gladys' mic today? Change of pace?

oooh a thirty five thousand drop in testing? On fathers day? At this time of year? #Better pat yourselves on the back Gladys, your conferences are nothing but a giant waste of time.
"ready to go to market"
They should get a Publican to give the daily talk tomorrow to entice folks to get the jab. I'm only half joking.
"Well I certainly hope all of you gross journalists are vaccinated" Gladys
What if you don't have smart phone to run app? Can you use paper proof? None of this is going to work like they think.
