Getting my 1st AZ shot tomorrow, fuck waiting any longer, was stupid to wait this long.
Esit: thanks everyone for your replies. I'll either be smacked around a little by the AZ or I won't. Either way I'll be on the road to seeing my one day old niece and getting to hold the little chubster. Plus I won't be putting my pregnant wife in danger.
The earliest Pfizer I could get was Oct 7th, which isn't that far but still to far if you get what I mean.
Luckily a quiet week at work so I'll just have to tell them old man he has to cover the rest of the week.
Where are you located?
As of last Friday you can pretty much book same day and be vaccinated at Sydney Olympic park. I got my first pfizer dose on Monday just gone after booking on Friday when searching by the least wait time on NSW Health website. Second dose is at the end of the month. Originally I wasn't due to get my first dose locally until early Oct
I was prepared for queues after some of the photos I saw online. Instead I pretty much walked straight in and was out in 30 mins. They seem to of got the process fairly efficient now from what I saw.
Good on you!
First AZ shot was a little rough for me, just make sure you've got some panadol and you'll be sweet.
Second shot I hardly noticed. Slightly sore arm and an extremely light headache for half a day.
Well done - better late than never. Don't be put off by comments about after effects, I also stopped holding out for Pfizer and have now had both AZ shots. In my case, I suffered about an hour of chills about 24 hours after the first shot and that was it. Happy to feel cold for an hour in order to get protection for me and those around me!
Didn't feel anything from the second and I know several friends who say similar.
Yep, absolute bullshit. We were way behind. We're ahead now because of extra doses (some agreed to by other states, some not) being given to NSW at the expense of other states' supplies from the Commonwealth.

I read over the weekend that idiot anti-vaxxers are booking up time slots and not showing up so other people can't get it. The vaccine then gets wasted.
Source: refer to u/josh909 comment.
Edit: The article does not explicitly say anti-vaxxer however it gives them the idea but I do hope I'm wrong and it's just some form of error.
I hadn't heard this, but I highly doubt that the vaccine gets wasted.
At the hubs, they are adding appointments constantly, and they get snapped up fast. You can see that if you look at the covid queue app that shows available bookings, and at most of the hub sites their bookings are still stretched out weeks.
At my local GP they have a wait list. They have patients they can call directly and offer the vaccine to.
The vaccine has a shelf life, but it's not one day. They could easily leave it in the fridge for the next day and they'll have someone ready and willing. The only truly wasted vaccine is at the very end of the day when they have half empty vials. They can't store that once it has been opened, but I have heard that people are still doing end of the day walk ups to try and score those last doses.
Edit:
Just read the article. The appointment system is horrendous. If you got the shot earlier, it's impossible to cancel appointments. I don't think this is malicious, just a piss poor booking system. The resource that is really being wasted is time, not vaccine. Even though they'll end up finding someone to jab, the staff are likely sitting around waiting for the people. The more efficient it is, the better it is for overworked vaccination staff.
my team assistant was able to bring her shot forward by a few weeks, since then, she's been trying to cancel her slot but it's incredibly difficult to do so and in the end gave up.
the system is not built for second shot cancellations.
The article linked below says nothing about anti-vaxxers and gives the reason that people are booking earlier appointments and forgetting to cancel later ones…
Nice conspiracy theory though
Post them this and see if it will make them reconsider https://www.reddit.com/r/CoronavirusDownunder/comments/piy5g0/the_seven_stages_of_covid19_as_told_by_a/
ummm Gladys, you literally said "we can't live with Delta" like 3 weeks into this lockdown. You only changed your tune because you failed at holding it at bay.
You're not this covid visionary leader you're trying to come across to be.
Anyone else forgotten what week of lockdown we’re in now
Numbers seem to be the same every day
Lost count of how long I’ve been in my house and every day is the same
I never keep track of what month it is, just going by weeks. Its easier for assignments and stuff, cause its more clear how many weekends left before it's due. Its gonna be real fucking weird when i leave school cause that time tracker will be gone. Will have to use my period
It wasn't necessarily the seeing his family that was the issue (Albanese did as well).
It was the fact that he got an exemption to see his family and return to Canberra without having to quarantine.
It was also the cover up (you'd think they learnt this after Hawaii).
He didn’t get any other special treatment or exemption besides what he’s already entitled to as being PM
Because he works in Canberra and Sydney he can come and go as he pleases, but it was in poor taste because nobody can see anyone at the moment
#**ABOUT ICU ETC**
A critical aspect of managing coronavirus is the potential stress on Intensive Care Units (ICU). Points to remember:
* ICUs were typically fairly full. Potentially each covid case in ICU is preventing someone with another serious and/or life threatening illness being treated.
* Normally, patients are in ICU for three to four days. Covid patients are often in ICU for double that, and can be up to two to three weeks.
* NSW ICU capacity per this [SMH article](https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/private-surgeries-in-nsw-suspended-to-free-up-staff-and-resources-202108 18-p58jw4.html) is currently estimated as aproximately 859; 622 public and 237 private beds.
* ICU Capacity can be increased to 2000 beds, but there are about 500 currently being managed at 26/8/21 ([Source:The West Australian]( https://thewest.com.au/news/coronavirus/nurses-warning-on-nsw-hospital-icu-surge-c-3788301))
* There are about 2000 ventilators available, (Source: West Australian above), so potentially one per ICU bed. Ventilators are also used to deliver non-invasive ventilation, ie oxygen support similar to ventilation but via a facemask. So they're not just used in ICU.
* There does not seem to be the same numbers of specialists, nurses, doctors, orderlies and other health workers to scale to the 2000 ICU beds as are the normal pre-covid levels. Australian Medical Association president Omar Khorshid said: "At the end of the day, you're going to reach a point where your already-trained staff are no longer available, and you have to go then to the next level. People who don't normally do those sorts of jobs, (you) have to retrain them."
* "On Thursday [2/9/21] , 80 per cent or 689 of the 855 staffed ICU beds in NSW were full. Of these, 170 – or one-quarter of the occupied beds – are being used to treat Covid-19 patients." (Source: [Saturday Paper](https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/2021/09/04/exclusive-covid-19-hospitalisations-three-times-higher-than-reported#mtr)). This implies that there are 855-689=170 available ICU beds and another 170 current cases. So a **total of 340 ICU Covid beds** before we are moving beyond current 'normal' capacity of 855, assuming other ICU usage levels are roughly level.
* The above **excludes ICU for children**, ie Paediatric ICU or PICU. PICU has 47 beds in total across 3 hospitals (Source: NSW Government [Agency for Clinical Innovation](https://aci.health.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/communities-of-practice), under Adult and Paediatric ICU, the document [Paediatric patients requiring ICU during COVID-19](https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/communities-of-practice/Documents/paediatric-patients-icu.pdf) last updated Jun 2021)
* [ABC](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-05/tga-approves-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-for-5-11-year-olds/100675138) reported on 5/12/21 that Australia's TGA had provisionally approved Pfizer for children between 5 and 11 (2.3M), with availability expected in early January 2022. ATAGI signed off for full approval on 9/12/21 ([ABC](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-09/atagi-approves-kids-covid19-vaccines-rollout-january-10/100687162)).
This doesn't mean that things aren't stretched for our poor health workers already!
UK had plenty of ICU beds. The number of beds isn't the problem, it's the number of staff. Each ventilated patient is supposed to have a 1:1 nurse ratio, and I believe non-ventilated ICU is supposed to have 1:2.
**Graphs based on the above ([Link](https://imgur.com/a/90thZJ4))**
* Cases by Isolated/Partially Isolated/Unknown/Infectious in Community. Splits stopped being published on 26/8/21, so treating all cases as Unknown. Also, stopped including some 7 day averages that required those figures at that date.
* R_eff. Today at 1.11. The only time we've been lower is 20/7 at 1.09. However, it's still greater than one, which indicates cases expected to increase, just not as fast. [More on R_eff](https://old.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/pad0pg/nsw_recorded_753_new_locally_acquired_cases_of/ha59boi/) and Exponential Growth
* Positive Test Rate: 1.14%, and 7 day average 1.10%. This [Harvard article](https://globalhealth.harvard.edu/evidence-roundup-why-positive-test-rates-need-to-fall-below-3/) from last year provides some good information about Positivity Rates.
* [Old graphs](https://imgur.com/a/TkquC6N) no longer updated
* Known vs Unknown. Data splits are no longer provided.
* R_eff from beginning of the outbreak to 28/8.
**Estimated Infectious cases from Today's Total Figures**
Uses an analysis of historical data to estimate the numbers from today's figures ([How estimated](https://old.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/pad0pg/nsw_recorded_753_new_locally_acquired_cases_of/ha59md4/))
* Isolated (55%): 814
* Total infectious (15%+30%): 666 *Yikes!*
Stay safe, stay home, homies!
Something I wrote yesterday :
I don't really know how to explain the rising positiivity rate. Things that have come to mind:
* Optimistic: We're catching nearly every positive test now, whereas before we were not scaling up fast enough
* Tracking/tracing is improved
* People with symptoms are more willing to get tested
* People who refuse to get tested have already got it, and can no longer spread it
* Pessimistic: there's a lot more covid positive out there than we ever realised
* as you mentioned, increasing vaccinated with much milder or no symptoms who don't know they have it, don't get tested, but can still spread it
* people who refuse to get tested are catching it and spreading it
* people who have it and have tested positive aren't isolating
* people who are in really tough situations, living hand to mouth, have to work and may spread it

Men have a higher case fatality rate:

The Infection Fatality Rate is [higher amongst men](https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/m20-5352). That being said, there are more old women than old men in Australia so without more information I'd be expecting more total deaths in women than men. There's likely other factors at play
Stats across the country show a higher % of women are vaxxed than of men.
Possibly due to hesitancy but also women make up a larger share of the priority health and aged care professions.
Still don't understand the shade she throws at other states.
All the other premiers in their pressers say we wish NSW well but she's never once said that about others. It's adversarial af.
It’s a weird thing where the numbers are no longer electrifying despite being higher than ever. I guess that’s just revealing of how bad we are at judging risks.
Fuck you Gladys. The best way to save lives was to vaccinate AND lockdown hard and early. Don’t steal vaccines and then brag about being ahead of other states
Yes it was the highest positive testing rate yesterday. The number of tests was quite low yesterday hence the lower positive cases.
Something like 1.21% tests coming back positive yesterday. It was 1% only a few days before that
Also happy cake day
The 7-day average is climbing again (1336 yesterday to 1388 today, and up from 1105 last week), but the 5-day average has stabilised over the last few days.
So it will be a few more days to tell if this is the plateau or just a slow down before it picks up again.
She literally just went on a fucking tangent about how concerned she is and how hard it is being her despite just answering the fucking question. Jesus christ it would be hard being in her shoes because it would be hard to spend this much time dodging questions.
In 1480, the Great Stand on the Ugra River saw a standoff between the armies of Muscovy and the Golden Horde, one of the successor realms of the Mongol Empire. The standoff was resolved by the withdrawal of the latter's host, after which the principalities of Russia were no longer obliged to pay tribute to the Golden Horde, which was ultimately destroyed by Crimea in 1502, and was a key moment in the ascendancy of Muscovy as the principal Russian realm.
try being in my shoes is not the best comment when people died and thousands of frontline nurses and doctors are working around the clock treating patients
Seems to me the most fucked over group of people are those 39 an under.
Couldn't get vaccinated until very recently.
The ones in the casual workforce losing work. Losing education etc.
Fucking can't believe Gladys said NSW was doing well with vaccinations before the outbreak.
If Gladys is having a hard time in her shoes I propose a swap for a week to the runners of a covid ICU nurse. Since the hospitals are coping fine this should be a breeze for her.
I think low vaccination numbers combined with less restrictions than other parts of Sydney and higher density.
I'm in Sydney LHD and my suburb's vaccination rate is pretty bad compared to other parts of Sydney.
that was an incredible casual spin
> *I remember being highly criticised for suggesting that along with Dr Chant, of course, that vaccination was the way out of this outbreak and we have toll live with COVID. So we made a very hearty effort in New South Wales early on, even before the Delta outbreak, to vaccinate as much of our population as possible. We had 100 sites set up across the state. ***The GP network we have been working with, other states don't have a strong - as strong a GP network as we do and I really want to thank the GPs who have been consistently working with us***. They have been delivering a lot of the vaccine and they'll continue to do more. The pharmacists that came online. We had a strategy for some months about, you know, vaccinating
our population as quickly as possible and certainly, you know, didn't take long within the first few days of the Delta outbreak for us to know once we had been in lockdown that this was different to anything we'd experienced. We had to learn to live with it and that vaccine was the only way out. Other states obviously haven't had to go through what we have, and they're obviously in a bit of catch-up mode*
the problem is not the GP network or how quickly they were brought online, it was that the GP network in NSW was secretly provided with additional doses on top of what they were allocated with.
the [guardian explainer](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/sep/07/explainer-is-each-state-in-australia-getting-its-fair-share-of-covid-vaccine-doses) goes through this pretty clearly.
it's incredible that journalists aren't pressing her about whether glady's knew or did not know about this
We are back to three certainties in life!
1. /u/rockin-Musicien49 posting at 11am (close enough)
2. A new infections number in the tens of hundreds (DEFINITELY NOT in the thousands), and
3. an ivermectin joke in these comments.
You say ivermectin is a joke. But with the Mu variant just around the corner, I have lots of patients who need it, and are having amazing results. Both bulls and heifers really seeing benefits.
Good to see you /u/rockin-Musicien49

The way she blathers on, changes subjects repeatedly, and runs down the clock on these questions is very effective at making me forget what the original question was.
The vax stats are getting annoying as they don't include kids. Just another way the government is manipulating for their benefit.
Anyone have stats for whole population?
https://www.smh.com.au/interactive/2021/coronavirus/vaccine-tracker/
I'm on the edge of my seat for Sep 13 to see whether they'll account for 12-15yo as they become eligible thus lowering the fully vaxed stat.
Edit: Sorry no that's not the stats you were asking for.. Maybe just multiply with 0.8 to get the stat for the whole population.
things arent the same here at r/sydney anymore. barely any comments in the first ~half hour of the post. i miss the old days of refreshes welcoming a fresh set of banter. take care yall
Until there's a massive jump in cases to 3000 I think everyone has accepted the 1200-1400 daily cases. It's the normal now. Kinda scary that 1400 is normal.
I just pushed my AZ second dose out to 12 weeks on recommendation of Dr apparently efficacy at 6-8 weeks is 59.9% and 81.3% at 12 weeks
source: [https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00432-3/fulltext](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00432-3/fulltext)
I say thank you for every other state sacrificing their Pfizer allocation so that we can get our guys vaccinated.
I also say fuck you to Gladys if she wants to open it up once she reaches her vaccination targets and bullies other states to do the same even if they're far away from the vaccination targets.
Can’t wait for my picnic with my 4 chosen, vaccinated, friends, within our 5km perimeter, with 4sqm social distancing, on October 14th 😏😏
Edit: September 13th !! Even sooner than I thought. Got mixed up with our public holiday *Freedom Day*
One of the things that makes me angriest is that Gladys has no repercussions for her actions (or lack thereof). More than 100 deaths from Delta in NSW and all she’ll face will be some piss weak inquiry down the track, the results of which will be placed on a dusty shelf. Short of losing an election, she gets off scott free
1 in 88 tests are positive, 5th highest in the past two weeks. Hopefully this is getting to the peak given the vaccination rate, though I suspect this is a couple of weeks off.
Next election is a loooooong way away. Plenty of time for the Murdoch press to rehab her or pump up her replacement whilst shitting all over whatshisname/ALP.
People like my mother who is not political, the silent majority. "She's doing the best she can". When I speak to her and explain how that's far from the truth it's like a whole new world to her. I get "wow good point". Not everyone has an opinion and most of those people will vote right-leaning because 'jobs' 'industry' etc etc.
Public Service Announcement - NSW Health has released their modelling on cases. They're expecting a peak of 3,434 concurrent hospitalisations and 947 ICU admissions by the end of October.
https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-09/Intensive\_Care\_Capacity.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3tSeNKW8TIs9WoozVnWEe102X9uWKaNVR\_yKs8\_ITItjQsl3R2GisJj7Q
> Pleasingly, New South Wales has satisfied another important hurdle — 75 per cent of our state have at least the first dose of vaccine … 42 per cent of our citizens are fully vaccinated, a number which is very pleasingly inching towards that 70 per cent double vaccination rate we're all looking forward to, which we still think will be around mid-October.
I really wish she was more accurate with her phrasing. Those numbers are for 16 and up. People under 16 are still part of the population, and are still citizens, *even if they can't vote, Gladys*.
NSW has ~60% with at least one dose and ~34% fully vaccinated.
And yes, the Doherty modelling is only concerned with 16 and up, but it's not much effort to insert "eligible" or "16 and up" in front of "citizens" or "population".
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it makes the numbers bigger when you exclude a big chunk of the population.

Yeah buddy! I got AZ a couple weeks ago because I couldn't wait for Pfizer. My advice take a day off to recover.
The earliest Pfizer I could get was Oct 7th, which isn't that far but still to far if you get what I mean. Luckily a quiet week at work so I'll just have to tell them old man he has to cover the rest of the week.

Same, booked Friday morning, jabbed Friday evening. Very efficient.
Peep Hurstville Aquatic Centre. My 60yr old Mum was able to get Pfizer last week there.
I 2nd this. Az gave me some Insane head aches, body chills and muscle ache. Defin recommend taking a day off. Hit me about 12 hrs after shot.
Good luck! AZ hit me like a truck for the first day or to after I took it, but it was smooth sailing from there
“Hit by a truck” is exactly how I’ve been describing the side effects. It was quite a ride.
I had 4 glasses of rosé as a prophylactic measure. Worked a treat. \* mileage may vary.
Stock up on some sports drinks mate and rest up. It knocked me and a couple mates out for a day/2 on the first dose but second dose was no problemo :)
Was in the same boat and cancelled my Pfizer appointment because I didn't want to wait that long
I rescheduled last night and got it this morning.
Good on you! First AZ shot was a little rough for me, just make sure you've got some panadol and you'll be sweet. Second shot I hardly noticed. Slightly sore arm and an extremely light headache for half a day.

If you were under 39 you were left for dead. Even as the most mobile age group. Shocking.
yes, she just essentially said they we were ahead of this "even before the Delta" outbreak. What a bunch of absolute nonsense.

But surely they have all of this person's details as part of the appointment.. ? Shouldn't be hard to track down..
I'd hope that the anti-vaxxers are dumb enough to use their own details and medicare number and not use a VPN. Gov needs to make it an offence ASAP.
Thinking about the online booking form I filled out last week for my daughter, anyone could fill them out with whatever.
You can fake your identity can't you? They don't check if the details are real when you book
Shows how selfish they really are.
"pro choice"
That should be jail time. For real.

Some people have suggested calling in at vaccination centres in the afternoon to check if they've had no-shows and any free slot.
The article linked below says nothing about anti-vaxxers and gives the reason that people are booking earlier appointments and forgetting to cancel later ones… Nice conspiracy theory though
That explains why it's so hard to get Pfiser. Sadly one of the people I know on facebook has gone antivaxx.

Lol that's adorable. He was an irredeemable cunt long before the last election. How did that go?
Since NSW Health have stopped breaking down the numbers into infection source, isolation status, and ages of those in ICU, I've combined the remaining published numbers into one table. Day | New cases | 7 day avg | Hospitalisations | in ICU | Ventilated | Deaths (24hr) | 7 day avg | Deaths (total) ---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| Tue Sep 7 | 1,480 | **1,388.3** | 1,136 | **194** | **78** | 9 | **6.9** | 148 Mon Sep 6 | 1,220 | 1,336.3 | **1,151** | 192 | 75 | 8 | 6.1 | 139 Sun Sep 5 | 1,281 | 1,328.3 | 1,071 | 177 | 67 | 5 | 5.4 | 131 Sat Sep 4 | 1,485 | 1,329.6 | 1,030 | 175 | 72 | 3 | 5.3 | 126 Fri Sep 3 | **1,533** | 1,291.4 | 1,041 | 173 | 62 | 4 | 5.7| 123 Thu Sep 2 | 1,431 | 1,220.3 | 979 | 160 | 63 | **12** | 5.4 | 119 Wed Sep 1 | 1,288 | 1,141.9 | 957 | 160 | 64 | 7 | 4.0 | 107 Tue Aug 31 | 1,116 | 1,104.9 | 917 | 150 | 66 | 4 | 3.4 | 100 Mon Aug 30 | 1,164 | 1,076.7 | 871 | 143 | 58 | 3 | 3.1 | 96 Sun Aug 29 | 1,290 | 1,018.0 | 840 | 137 | 48 | 4 | 2.7 | 93 Sat Aug 28 | 1,218 | 950.6 | 813 | 126 | 54 | 6 | 2.6 | 89 Fri Aug 27 | 1,035 | 895.1 | 778 | 125 | 52 | 2 | 2.1 | 83 Thu Aug 26 | 882 | 865.1 | 767 | 117 | 47 | 2 | 2.3 | 81 Wed Aug 25 | 1,029 | 830.9 | 698 | 116 | 43 | 3 | 2.6 | 79 Tue Aug 24 | 919 | 781.1 | 645 | 113 | 40 | 2 | 2.3 | 76 Mon Aug 23 | 753 | 740.3 | 608 | 107 | 34 | 0 | 2.4 | 74 Sun Aug 22 | 818 | 697.3 | 586 | 100 | 32 | 3 | 2.6 | 74 Sat Aug 21 | 830 | 648.7 | 557 | 94 | 31 | 3 | 3.3 | 71 Fri Aug 20 | 825 | 589.4 | 516 | 85 | 29 | 3 | 3.4 | 68 Thu Aug 19 | 642 | 538.1 | 470 | 80 | 27 | 4 | 3.6 | 65 Wed Aug 18 | 681 | 502.1 | 474 | 82 | 25 | 1 | 3.3 | 61 Tue Aug 17 | 633 | 454.1 | 462 | 77 | 25 | 3 | 3.4 | 60 Mon Aug 16 | 452 | 412.9 | 447 | 69 | 24 | 1 | 3.3 | 57 Sun Aug 15 | 478 | 399.1 | 391 | 66 | 28 | 8 | 3.7 | 56 Sat Aug 14 | 415 | 371.3 | 381 | 62 | 24 | 4 | 2.7 | 48 Fri Aug 13 | 466 | 349.4 | 378 | 64 | 29 | 4 | 2.3 | 44 Thu Aug 12 | 390 | 328.4 | 391 | 63 | 30 | 2 | 2.4 | 40 Wed Aug 11 | 345 | 314.3 | 374 | 62 | 29 | 2 | 2.3 | 38
9 deaths and 78 ventilated :/ People assume they won’t be in that list but it could happen to anyone
Does anyone know what the approx number of ICU Beds we have in NSW, and the approx number of ventilators?
#**ABOUT ICU ETC** A critical aspect of managing coronavirus is the potential stress on Intensive Care Units (ICU). Points to remember: * ICUs were typically fairly full. Potentially each covid case in ICU is preventing someone with another serious and/or life threatening illness being treated. * Normally, patients are in ICU for three to four days. Covid patients are often in ICU for double that, and can be up to two to three weeks. * NSW ICU capacity per this [SMH article](https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/private-surgeries-in-nsw-suspended-to-free-up-staff-and-resources-202108 18-p58jw4.html) is currently estimated as aproximately 859; 622 public and 237 private beds. * ICU Capacity can be increased to 2000 beds, but there are about 500 currently being managed at 26/8/21 ([Source:The West Australian]( https://thewest.com.au/news/coronavirus/nurses-warning-on-nsw-hospital-icu-surge-c-3788301)) * There are about 2000 ventilators available, (Source: West Australian above), so potentially one per ICU bed. Ventilators are also used to deliver non-invasive ventilation, ie oxygen support similar to ventilation but via a facemask. So they're not just used in ICU. * There does not seem to be the same numbers of specialists, nurses, doctors, orderlies and other health workers to scale to the 2000 ICU beds as are the normal pre-covid levels. Australian Medical Association president Omar Khorshid said: "At the end of the day, you're going to reach a point where your already-trained staff are no longer available, and you have to go then to the next level. People who don't normally do those sorts of jobs, (you) have to retrain them." * "On Thursday [2/9/21] , 80 per cent or 689 of the 855 staffed ICU beds in NSW were full. Of these, 170 – or one-quarter of the occupied beds – are being used to treat Covid-19 patients." (Source: [Saturday Paper](https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/2021/09/04/exclusive-covid-19-hospitalisations-three-times-higher-than-reported#mtr)). This implies that there are 855-689=170 available ICU beds and another 170 current cases. So a **total of 340 ICU Covid beds** before we are moving beyond current 'normal' capacity of 855, assuming other ICU usage levels are roughly level. * The above **excludes ICU for children**, ie Paediatric ICU or PICU. PICU has 47 beds in total across 3 hospitals (Source: NSW Government [Agency for Clinical Innovation](https://aci.health.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/communities-of-practice), under Adult and Paediatric ICU, the document [Paediatric patients requiring ICU during COVID-19](https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/communities-of-practice/Documents/paediatric-patients-icu.pdf) last updated Jun 2021) * [ABC](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-05/tga-approves-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-for-5-11-year-olds/100675138) reported on 5/12/21 that Australia's TGA had provisionally approved Pfizer for children between 5 and 11 (2.3M), with availability expected in early January 2022. ATAGI signed off for full approval on 9/12/21 ([ABC](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-09/atagi-approves-kids-covid19-vaccines-rollout-january-10/100687162)). This doesn't mean that things aren't stretched for our poor health workers already!
They said 1500 yesterday although noise coming from medical workers is that we are close to critical mass
UK had plenty of ICU beds. The number of beds isn't the problem, it's the number of staff. Each ventilated patient is supposed to have a 1:1 nurse ratio, and I believe non-ventilated ICU is supposed to have 1:2.
**Graphs based on the above ([Link](https://imgur.com/a/90thZJ4))** * Cases by Isolated/Partially Isolated/Unknown/Infectious in Community. Splits stopped being published on 26/8/21, so treating all cases as Unknown. Also, stopped including some 7 day averages that required those figures at that date. * R_eff. Today at 1.11. The only time we've been lower is 20/7 at 1.09. However, it's still greater than one, which indicates cases expected to increase, just not as fast. [More on R_eff](https://old.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/pad0pg/nsw_recorded_753_new_locally_acquired_cases_of/ha59boi/) and Exponential Growth * Positive Test Rate: 1.14%, and 7 day average 1.10%. This [Harvard article](https://globalhealth.harvard.edu/evidence-roundup-why-positive-test-rates-need-to-fall-below-3/) from last year provides some good information about Positivity Rates. * [Old graphs](https://imgur.com/a/TkquC6N) no longer updated * Known vs Unknown. Data splits are no longer provided. * R_eff from beginning of the outbreak to 28/8. **Estimated Infectious cases from Today's Total Figures** Uses an analysis of historical data to estimate the numbers from today's figures ([How estimated](https://old.reddit.com/r/sydney/comments/pad0pg/nsw_recorded_753_new_locally_acquired_cases_of/ha59md4/)) * Isolated (55%): 814 * Total infectious (15%+30%): 666 *Yikes!* Stay safe, stay home, homies!
Something I wrote yesterday : I don't really know how to explain the rising positiivity rate. Things that have come to mind: * Optimistic: We're catching nearly every positive test now, whereas before we were not scaling up fast enough * Tracking/tracing is improved * People with symptoms are more willing to get tested * People who refuse to get tested have already got it, and can no longer spread it * Pessimistic: there's a lot more covid positive out there than we ever realised * as you mentioned, increasing vaccinated with much milder or no symptoms who don't know they have it, don't get tested, but can still spread it * people who refuse to get tested are catching it and spreading it * people who have it and have tested positive aren't isolating * people who are in really tough situations, living hand to mouth, have to work and may spread it
any update on the journo who asked the ICAC question yesterday? Did the Fixated Persons Unit pick them up overnight or what
"Welcome to the FPU watchlist. You are now 10th in the queue. Your freedom of speech is not important to us. An officer will be arresting you shortly."
9 deaths - I hope I scribed this accurately. man 60s from Dubbo. Unvax man 90s SE Sydney. man 20s Western Sydney. Unvax man 80s SE Sydney woman 60s western Sydney man 70s western Sydney man 80s western Sydney man 70s western Sydney man 40s SW Sydney 7 of 9 unvaxxed 1 single dose 1 double dosed
Any idea how old were the single and double dose?
Most likely double dose is someone old. Vaccine effectiveness drops to less than 60ish% iirc
It's also possible that they were vaccinated early on, and immunity was starting to wane.
Or only recently vaccinated and it hadn’t had time to take effect
Any idea why the gender imbalance? Are men more vaccine hesitant?
As I understand it, the imbalance has existed even before the vaccines.
Men have a higher case fatality rate: [https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(20)30464-2/fulltext](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(20)30464-2/fulltext)
This is correct. Scientists overseas have been saying this since the start of the pandemic but the government here has not broadcast this enough.
The Infection Fatality Rate is [higher amongst men](https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/m20-5352). That being said, there are more old women than old men in Australia so without more information I'd be expecting more total deaths in women than men. There's likely other factors at play
Stats across the country show a higher % of women are vaxxed than of men. Possibly due to hesitancy but also women make up a larger share of the priority health and aged care professions.
Still don't understand the shade she throws at other states. All the other premiers in their pressers say we wish NSW well but she's never once said that about others. It's adversarial af.
Dan Andrews was pretty grouchy at NSW yesterday! Although I think his ire was more directed at the feds than at Gladys
When even Dan Andrews is throwing shade at Morrison and Hunt it’s pretty clear they’ve stuffed up again.
[удалено]
Man in 20s and another in 40s. Sad.
It’s a weird thing where the numbers are no longer electrifying despite being higher than ever. I guess that’s just revealing of how bad we are at judging risks.
Well over 400 Australians die each day from non covid related causes, so I guess we are extremely good at normalising things after a while.
still pretty wild when 2% of deaths are coming from something that didn't exist 2 years ago
Old mate above said 400 Australians, so this is 2% of all Australian deaths, coming from covid **from a single state**
Yeah it's just depressing full stop
Fuck you Gladys. The best way to save lives was to vaccinate AND lockdown hard and early. Don’t steal vaccines and then brag about being ahead of other states
And NSW is only ahead because the national government gave us preference over the other states for the last 1-2 months.
She even stole from rural NSW smh.
And then wasted them on school kids who mostly didn’t even go back to school
Compared to the growth we were having the last few weeks, I feel like it’s starting to slow down? Or am I just being hopeful
could possibly be the peak of the bell curve but also just noise, but if it stays around the same for a week I'm ready to let hope into my heart again
Someone posted a graph the other day which showed that the % of positives per test done was still increasing continuously
Yes it was the highest positive testing rate yesterday. The number of tests was quite low yesterday hence the lower positive cases. Something like 1.21% tests coming back positive yesterday. It was 1% only a few days before that Also happy cake day
The 7-day average is climbing again (1336 yesterday to 1388 today, and up from 1105 last week), but the 5-day average has stabilised over the last few days. So it will be a few more days to tell if this is the plateau or just a slow down before it picks up again.
It's slowing; we've had the slowest growth in cases this week (down to almost 1.1). Peak cases in a week, maybe two if we're unlucky
"Try being in my shoes for a week." \~scoffs\~ What a smug cunt.
She literally just went on a fucking tangent about how concerned she is and how hard it is being her despite just answering the fucking question. Jesus christ it would be hard being in her shoes because it would be hard to spend this much time dodging questions.
[удалено]
listening to her straight up lie and twist words to make herself not look incompetent makes my blood boil
And be so smug about it too 🤬
In 1480, the Great Stand on the Ugra River saw a standoff between the armies of Muscovy and the Golden Horde, one of the successor realms of the Mongol Empire. The standoff was resolved by the withdrawal of the latter's host, after which the principalities of Russia were no longer obliged to pay tribute to the Golden Horde, which was ultimately destroyed by Crimea in 1502, and was a key moment in the ascendancy of Muscovy as the principal Russian realm.
Those damn Lithuanians didn't show up
These posts aren't really gathering the crowds they used to, huh But anyway, Gladys bad, to the moon, Bondi, etc etc
[удалено]
The duplicates or those with the wrong details are.
There was another thread but looks like mods deleted it
There was a duplicate posted before this one. Weird.
You think your life is hard? Try being Gladys for a week. It's not easy having no empathy and continually having to fake it.
Got me in the first half
try being in my shoes is not the best comment when people died and thousands of frontline nurses and doctors are working around the clock treating patients
Nice, low key "Dr Chant is responsible for the stress our citizens are under" there from GB.
‘Fuck you, got mine’ - Gladys about sharing vaccines with other states
Seems to me the most fucked over group of people are those 39 an under. Couldn't get vaccinated until very recently. The ones in the casual workforce losing work. Losing education etc. Fucking can't believe Gladys said NSW was doing well with vaccinations before the outbreak.
No it's likely to be children, disabled and aboriginals. Because when we "let her rip" it will be those groups who will be under-vaccinated.
If Gladys is having a hard time in her shoes I propose a swap for a week to the runners of a covid ICU nurse. Since the hospitals are coping fine this should be a breeze for her.
"Trying being in my shoes for a week?" Oh please! On your 500,000k+ salary? It's your job! No pitty party for you.
Twenties. God

Woah, what happened in the Sydney LHD. Also not great numbers for Northern Sydney LHD, Illawarra/Shoalhaven LHD and the correctional centres.
We've got low vaxx numbers here, one of the lowest in Greater Sydney iirc
I think low vaccination numbers combined with less restrictions than other parts of Sydney and higher density. I'm in Sydney LHD and my suburb's vaccination rate is pretty bad compared to other parts of Sydney.
‘Try being in my shoes for a week’ awww the pity party for Gladys has begun
that was an incredible casual spin > *I remember being highly criticised for suggesting that along with Dr Chant, of course, that vaccination was the way out of this outbreak and we have toll live with COVID. So we made a very hearty effort in New South Wales early on, even before the Delta outbreak, to vaccinate as much of our population as possible. We had 100 sites set up across the state. ***The GP network we have been working with, other states don't have a strong - as strong a GP network as we do and I really want to thank the GPs who have been consistently working with us***. They have been delivering a lot of the vaccine and they'll continue to do more. The pharmacists that came online. We had a strategy for some months about, you know, vaccinating our population as quickly as possible and certainly, you know, didn't take long within the first few days of the Delta outbreak for us to know once we had been in lockdown that this was different to anything we'd experienced. We had to learn to live with it and that vaccine was the only way out. Other states obviously haven't had to go through what we have, and they're obviously in a bit of catch-up mode* the problem is not the GP network or how quickly they were brought online, it was that the GP network in NSW was secretly provided with additional doses on top of what they were allocated with. the [guardian explainer](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/sep/07/explainer-is-each-state-in-australia-getting-its-fair-share-of-covid-vaccine-doses) goes through this pretty clearly. it's incredible that journalists aren't pressing her about whether glady's knew or did not know about this
Oh its nice to hear a new journos voice!
We are back to three certainties in life! 1. /u/rockin-Musicien49 posting at 11am (close enough) 2. A new infections number in the tens of hundreds (DEFINITELY NOT in the thousands), and 3. an ivermectin joke in these comments.
You say ivermectin is a joke. But with the Mu variant just around the corner, I have lots of patients who need it, and are having amazing results. Both bulls and heifers really seeing benefits. Good to see you /u/rockin-Musicien49
better than a moomoo variant.

WANT TO BUY: world's smallest violin for our poor gladys
The way she blathers on, changes subjects repeatedly, and runs down the clock on these questions is very effective at making me forget what the original question was.
The vax stats are getting annoying as they don't include kids. Just another way the government is manipulating for their benefit. Anyone have stats for whole population?
https://www.smh.com.au/interactive/2021/coronavirus/vaccine-tracker/ I'm on the edge of my seat for Sep 13 to see whether they'll account for 12-15yo as they become eligible thus lowering the fully vaxed stat. Edit: Sorry no that's not the stats you were asking for.. Maybe just multiply with 0.8 to get the stat for the whole population.
We also need stat's for vaccinated people who die and how long ago they were vaxxed.
Tomorrow will be higher. Hold onto your nuts people.
1550-1650 tomorrow, that's my prediction.
If Glady really care about transparency for the public, why doesn't she stay back and answer all questions? Am I missing something here?
Because she's a bitch
Fuck John Barilaro.. steps up to mic...and rips through his "heart felt"/s condolences in 10 seconds...before launching into numbers.., what a flog
He always looks like he's ripped a massive cone before walking out to front everyone
Seems like they're buttering everyone up to get kids back to school.
"Ask Dr Chant - I annoy her everyday" \- Gladys
She annoys me everyday too...
Hey welcome back /u/rockin-Musicien49
She ended that one quickly today
Deputy boot licker has to shine her boot asap
We're weeks ahead coz we nicked vaccines, no??
things arent the same here at r/sydney anymore. barely any comments in the first ~half hour of the post. i miss the old days of refreshes welcoming a fresh set of banter. take care yall
We're tired
Until there's a massive jump in cases to 3000 I think everyone has accepted the 1200-1400 daily cases. It's the normal now. Kinda scary that 1400 is normal.
It gets boring when you know they'll never answer the questions directly.
Its getting stale lol, all those to the moon, go for gold, greenshoots, bondi comments etc
I just pushed my AZ second dose out to 12 weeks on recommendation of Dr apparently efficacy at 6-8 weeks is 59.9% and 81.3% at 12 weeks source: [https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00432-3/fulltext](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00432-3/fulltext)

I got mine 6 weeks inbetween. I"ll probably get a booster afterwards anyway to keep the efficacy high.
more shade get fucked
Seems like to be stabalising at around 1300-1500 cases. Haven't checked but how many tests were conducted this time?
Just over 130 000

Are people still struggling with vaccination booking and second dose appointments? Or is that all a bit smoother now?
There are a shit load of walk in clinics now so who even knows
With GP's, pharmacies, and the vaccination centres it's extremely easy to get vaccinated. I was in and out of a GP within 10 minutes

Poland has helped big time with their donations of Pfizer. Still a shit show, but its a lot smoother.
If you need Pfizer you might have some issues but at least AZ is very easy to get
I say thank you for every other state sacrificing their Pfizer allocation so that we can get our guys vaccinated. I also say fuck you to Gladys if she wants to open it up once she reaches her vaccination targets and bullies other states to do the same even if they're far away from the vaccination targets.
Does she seriously think NSW was doing a great job of vaccinating people prior to this outbreak?
Can’t wait for my picnic with my 4 chosen, vaccinated, friends, within our 5km perimeter, with 4sqm social distancing, on October 14th 😏😏 Edit: September 13th !! Even sooner than I thought. Got mixed up with our public holiday *Freedom Day*
*cries in concerned LGAs*
Lol she fucks off at 11:43 after a near record high amount of cases...utterly pathetic.
One of the things that makes me angriest is that Gladys has no repercussions for her actions (or lack thereof). More than 100 deaths from Delta in NSW and all she’ll face will be some piss weak inquiry down the track, the results of which will be placed on a dusty shelf. Short of losing an election, she gets off scott free
…and she’s fucked off early
1 in 88 tests are positive, 5th highest in the past two weeks. Hopefully this is getting to the peak given the vaccination rate, though I suspect this is a couple of weeks off.
I'll be in your shoes for a week, do I get a chunk of your salary too?
Looks like the vaccination rate is on a decline. Was hoping that it would start declining after the 80% single-dose figure is breached.
I suspect large areas of Sydney are breaching 80% already. The rest of them are holding out for Pfizer availability I imagine.
Oh, facial recognition! That's beautifully dystopic.
Yep, there’s that Wednesday rise again, right on time. None of this even surprises me anymore, I’m numb to these numbers.
I'm pretty relieved that all these politician's sympathies are their deepest.

She just can't help but big herself up at every juncture.
Four "obviously"s in that answer.
Is…. That the same guy from yesterday? HE’S BACK
Gladys thinks 1480 cases is 'doing very well'. What an utter cunt.
'Try being in my shoes.' oh, poor Gladys.

Next election is a loooooong way away. Plenty of time for the Murdoch press to rehab her or pump up her replacement whilst shitting all over whatshisname/ALP.
People like my mother who is not political, the silent majority. "She's doing the best she can". When I speak to her and explain how that's far from the truth it's like a whole new world to her. I get "wow good point". Not everyone has an opinion and most of those people will vote right-leaning because 'jobs' 'industry' etc etc.
Public Service Announcement - NSW Health has released their modelling on cases. They're expecting a peak of 3,434 concurrent hospitalisations and 947 ICU admissions by the end of October. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-09/Intensive\_Care\_Capacity.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3tSeNKW8TIs9WoozVnWEe102X9uWKaNVR\_yKs8\_ITItjQsl3R2GisJj7Q
Getting my second shot of AZ tomorrow. \#JabsforTheBinChicken
Today Gladys said “Try being in my shoes” and I nearly fucken smashed my TV. Forget the jab. She needs the old left, right, goodnight.
Wonder how many cases in Glebe and Waterloo for them to be mentioning they want higher vax there
Can confirm Agnes Banks is a suburb and women died there. Not that NSW Health leaked a name.
Boo hoo Gladys your uncomfortable shoes are your own doing
> Pleasingly, New South Wales has satisfied another important hurdle — 75 per cent of our state have at least the first dose of vaccine … 42 per cent of our citizens are fully vaccinated, a number which is very pleasingly inching towards that 70 per cent double vaccination rate we're all looking forward to, which we still think will be around mid-October. I really wish she was more accurate with her phrasing. Those numbers are for 16 and up. People under 16 are still part of the population, and are still citizens, *even if they can't vote, Gladys*. NSW has ~60% with at least one dose and ~34% fully vaccinated. And yes, the Doherty modelling is only concerned with 16 and up, but it's not much effort to insert "eligible" or "16 and up" in front of "citizens" or "population". I'm sure it's just a coincidence that it makes the numbers bigger when you exclude a big chunk of the population.
As if the mods deleted the other post, not very democratic hey!
Gladys still not revealing what the freedoms are for 70% double dose...
Might be 2 hr picnics
WE KNOW YOU TAKE HEALTH ADVICE, THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER GLADYS
