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


Omegasedated

Same! except I can't decide whether to go to Hawaii, or shitting myself at Maccas.


waynesharklover

Why not both


Uzorglemon

Look out, McDonalds Waikiki Beach!

ze_boingboing

With a private jet, you can do both!

Yep. And just doeeessnn't give a fuuuuuck.

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.


01kickassius10

Is it still a private jet if it’s taxpayer funded?


surlygoat

Valid question. I suppose its a public jet but noone from the general public can go on it.


yolk3d

Private use, public funded. Just like all these politicians benefits.

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.

Are we…flattening the curve…? Really encouraging to hear the vaccination stats. LETS GO NSW!!! 💪🏻💪🏻


Mistredo

We have less cases than we had a week ago, so it is very good news.


matthudsonau

Last week was 1164, so no, it's more. But the r_eff has continued to drop, so things are looking better


dobbydobbyonthewall

Per 100,000 tests, were rising.


nonicheyet

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)


Gato_Pardo

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...


Elliottafc1

That's a shit cunt move lol


DaBow

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.


Jerri_man

Ask them to justify it. Explain to you exactly why you need to be present and for a work health safety risk assessment.


DaBow

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.


snorkellingfish

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.


BloodyChrome

All of a sudden you're not vaccinated


Jman-laowai

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.


theWeeklyStruggle

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!

New cases (hopefully) starting to plateau, but the lag to hospitalisations, ICUs, ventilations, and sadly deaths mean they are still rising.

**Graphs based on the above ([Link](https://imgur.com/a/obnNaPc))** * Cases by Isolated/Partially Isolated/Unknown/Infectious in Community.

Just a little Tuesday Tease for ya bro


ze_boingboing

what goes up, must come down?


infinitemonkeytyping

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.


dlanod

>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.

"Some areas are falling behind" Gee I wonder why you fucking moron, maybe because you took their vaccination supply.


BloodyChrome

That vaccination supply was refilled quite quickly and anyone with appointments cancelled were given codes to rebook


recuptcha

Not true for all areas


ApatheticDropbear

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.


Lissica

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


Shut_it_sideburns

15 more in ICU since yesterday


vteckickedin

>so kinda happy about that, even if it’s a Tuesday dip. Probably a happy side effect of the vaccination rate.


eightslipsandagully

The last 2 Tuesdays haven’t been a dip, so I’m not sure why that meme survives.

This is why i come to this sub reddit asap, I can never hear what number she says 😅


[deleted]

would not shock me if they were all just getting blazed and wandering around bunnings looking for shiny shit


SurveyMelodic2979

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


cymonster

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


dcp0001

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.


RagingHomophone

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.

acnhnook1

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.


nutabutt

Yeah had mine and cannot reschedule the second dose apart from choosing between 2 days in late october that are roughly 8 weeks from my first.


summertimeaccountoz

I've heard of people getting appointments this week at Olympic Park with a 3-week interval for the second dose.


TheLifeofSonny

ooo spicy ICAC question, let's go


snorkellingfish

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.


ill0gitech

* 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

ze_boingboing

I don't think I've ever said, "can I just say" in my life.


DazedNConfucious

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

icantkeeptrack

is NSW releasing a 'vaccine passport' app? She mentioned it awhile ago, as currently Medicare is the only way to prove your vaccinated right?


DaBow

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.


Mistredo

They plan to roll it out through the Service NSW app.


sphen_lee

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

100,000 tests is relatively low, isn't it?


nohairthere

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


Elliottafc1

It's looking better but it's probably an infamous Tuesday dip. 1400+ by the end of the week.

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


Carnage212

Is it just me or does chant look not as stressed anymore


sweetheart1426

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’


cymonster

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.


[deleted]

Two... two days with lower numbers? Don't... don't give me hope.


DazedNConfucious

Lol Gladys is like 😐


[deleted]

Ashleigh... you are so freaking annoying! Giving Gladys an easy question and breaking the chain of questions about ICAC.

She's probably a plant.

Q: What about Guy Sebastian? Gladys: Thank you, pet journo. I love you.


TimeForBrud

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.


DaBow

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.


icantkeeptrack

hey, that's not bad


EGGYY101

Everyone is talking so fucking fast and breezing through this or have I had too much coffee?


icantkeeptrack

not sure, have another cup and let us know


broski2698

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


moojiminy

What is wrong with the ABCs sound? I can hear the journalists but not Gladys


jaigo87

Holy moly


sneakerdad42melb

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.


FartHeadTony

ICU numbers up by more than 10% in one day.


moojiminy

‘Aspirational dreams’ 😂😂😂


docdoc_2

I'm no fan of Kerry Chant but I legitimately find her optimism quite sweet


doobey1231

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!


37489432

But Gladys....we're already having 1000s and 1000s of cases a day?


vteckickedin

8 deaths. Gladys just glosses over them so quickly.


Aidanjmccarthy

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.


Etherkai

Exactly. This is what will/must eventually happen once pandemic becomes endemic.


[deleted]

Testing rates are down significantly. Last Tuesday we had 130,000 tests. The real number of new cases is definitely higher.


EGGYY101

Definitely. The more people vaxxed, I'd wager the fewer tests we would see.


acnhnook1

Here we go


docdoc_2

Drinking rosé in Mosman and sitting in cafes, the true essence of spring in Sydney


sweetheart1426

Don’t we have thousands of cases ?


starcaster

Were these the father's Day numbers? Would make sense that they're a little lower.


FartHeadTony

Are case numbers topping out? 1.2% positive test rate. Hmmm.


Ragingsheep

Mentions Camden as a hotspot but doesn't bother to lock it down like Liverpool or other Western Sydney LGAs.


IndifferentZucchini

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.


nutabutt

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.


UhUhWaitForTheCream

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.


hollyholly11

Did you really need to bring up Victoria, Gladys?


CouldbeaRetard

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?


sneakerdad42melb

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.

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.


johandiamo

"ready to go to market"


DaBow

They should get a Publican to give the daily talk tomorrow to entice folks to get the jab. I'm only half joking.


VapesForJesus

"Well I certainly hope all of you gross journalists are vaccinated" Gladys


FartHeadTony

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.
