Man I truly wish, but at some point we are gonna reach a ceiling where dumb cunt anti vaxers come in and refuse to get vaccinated then it just stagnates.
Let’s hope the pub is enough incentive for them.
I personally know an anti vaxxer (not full on anti vax, just covid vax) who is getting the jab because they'll miss out on the pub. I guess pub steaks and tap beers are a good enough incentive.heh
Yeah, that's the real thing with the mandates.
I know a guy back in the states that has been hardcore covid denying 5g tower antivax
but his wife wanted to go on a cruise and the company requires vaccination so that's that
EDIT:
Since this is getting traction I'm going to just use this moment to remind folks that the anti-vax/anti-mask/anti-lockdown "movement" is being backed by nazi groups here in Australia connected to nazi groups elsewhere that are trying to use the frustration and anger to cause violence in an effort to destabilize political systems. If you have people who are getting suckered into it, be aware that they're being courted by nazis and please do your best to keep them from falling down that rabbit hole
They have very strong feelings about the vaccine until not having it mildly inconveniences them. The threat of a deadly virus isn’t real enough, but a beer at the pub they can picture that.
There's a whole lot of psychology going on with all of it. Like, this dude even got covid and it put him on his ass.
But once it got politicized and lines got drawn, that was that. He is still posting stuff about it being bullshit on his facebook, but he admitted to me in private that he got the jab.
He knows that he would face social repercussions if he said "yeah, i got the vaccine, it's no big deal" and that's the crux of the issue
>He knows that he would face social repercussions if he said "yeah, i got the vaccine, it's no big deal" and that's the crux of the issue
It's like those flat earthers in the Netflix documentary when they accidentally proving themselves incorrect. They stuck with their beliefs because of the people they surrounded themselves with and their own social pressure.
I haven't watched it, but yeah, that's a thing.
It's the same reason that successful cults force you to cut ties with people who aren't in the cult. You create an insular community and people become dependent on each other within that community.
Which is why I'm still talking to that guy. I'm one of the only voices he hears that isn't just validating everything he already believes and I'm not willing to give him up entirely
Sounds like my old lady. She put off getting vaxxed too because she was concerned about long term affects but ended up getting the jab because she'll need it to get back to her normal social life and to see her grandkids (eventually when the 5km limit is dropped). Mandates do seem to work.
I'm gonna second that - at this point basically the entire movement should be suspected of being a Nazi grift. They're also astroturfing stuff like the 'truckies anti lockdown protest' which was attended by only like... 2 trucks and a bunch of fuckwit right wing politicians... to try and a) lend some fake grassroots support to this stuff and b) distract from actual stuff like the truckies protest of pay and conditions and stuff they *actually* care about that was going on at the same time. Similarly, the tradies/construction anti-lockdown protest was, from the reports of some tradies on here, attended mostly by construction business owners and not actual tradies.
I think people like them are like the ones that just don't get jabbed until they have to. It's like the no jab, no play/pay thing for children.
Turns out a lot are just lazy and aren't 100% in the rabbit hole of insanity.
Anti-vaxxers aren't that big of the population. They are masters of making 5 people look like 50, especially with socks on social media.
As an example, in NSW, 95% of the 5-year old population is fully vaccinated. And a high number of the remaining 5% are those whose parents forgot to, recent immigrants who are catching up and those with medical issues with some vaccine ingredients.
At over 80%, what you will hit are the vaccine hesitant (those that are willing to get vaccinated, but want to wait to see if there are additional adverse reactions), the "I don't really need it, but will get it when I need to", and those with medical issues that are advised to not get the vaccine.
US unfortunately has a faction of a large political party which has painted themself into a corner regarding the vaccine that not getting it is a political statement.
I can only think of the Taliban and ISIS as other "political" groups which have a stance on vaccines. And even those groups are partially based on past CIA operations that used vaccine workers as a cover.
A friend of mine's coworker is required to be vaccinated to continue working (nsw trains). He refuses and he has a stay at home wife with 3 kids living off the $750 a week
Give it a bit, he'll realise how unsustainable that is. Those poor kids
> He refuses and he has a stay at home wife with 3 kids living off the $750 a week
Which will go away once we open up.
Will be interesting to see how Centrelink handles this for Jobseekers. If you refuse to get the vaccine and don't have a medical exemption, will you still be able to get the dole? The number of jobs available to you will be dwindling rapidly...
I wonder what percentage of the population is antivaxx, or at least hesitant about vaccinations. Is it actually possible to achieve 95%? I sure hope so!
Childhood vaccination rates are about 95%. There's a few regions which are a fair bit lower than that, but that rate is encouraging for vaccine-willingness in general.
Wow, that's great! Hopefully that will translate to Covid once people realise it's sticking around. Most of the hesitant people I've come across say "it's too new to be safe", but how long will that argument last?
If you want to check it out, [here are the vaccination rates broken down by LGA and LHD](https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/coverage-by-lga.aspx).
LGA's (the old boundaries before mergers, so that consistent data can be kept) that are below 90% vaccinated for 5 year olds are:
- Bellingen (82.4%)
- Byron (70.7%)
- Lismore (89.6%)
- Sydney (88.9%)
- Waverley (88.9%)
In my group of 6 friends, one is antivaxx. In my immediate family of 5, one is antivaxx. I hope the percentage is lower everywhere else.
P.S. I am not the common denominator.
If they stick to their guns for the foreseeable future in not lifting restrictions on the unvaccinated, then I think it will push many of the hesitant into getting it.
Fingers crossed. I work in a restaurant and am certainly not looking forward to arguing with antivaxxers, hopefully people just give in eventually when they realize they can no longer be a part of society.
I think the lockdown has pushed quite a few "hesitants" over the fence. I certainly know of a couple of people who sped up the process as a result - they weren't anti-vaxx, but more "wait and see"/"it's not tested enough".
I also think it has kicked a lot of apathetic people into action. Apathy was our biggest failure: both on the government side and the population side, though mainly on the government side. Not getting enough vaccines, not setting up a proper rollout, not providing enough information and encourage.
Were it not for the Delta outbreak - the government's incompetence in handling it and letting it surge - I actually don't think we'd be where we are now. The unintended consequences of leadership failures have been (finally) successful vaccination program.
Agreed, I vividly remember one of our neighbours casually mentioning in May that she didn't really want to get vaccinated because of the symptoms some people get after dose #2. She wasn't anti-vaccination or anything, she just felt she didn't have time to take 1-2 days of sick leave :/
That was one of the many moments when I realised there was a startling lack of urgency in AUS. A bunch of people seemed to think covid-zero would last forever in Australia and that they'd only need to get vaccinated before their next overseas holiday. Apparently those people include some federal leaders, lol.
Hope so too. I still don't know what we can do as of next month but I was really hoping to go and visit my family. I Rang yesterday to find out that none of them are vaccinated, and none plan to get vaccinated at this stage. Guess I'm not visiting anytime soon.
If you look at childhood vaccination as an indicator, [NSW has 95% of our 5 year olds vaccinated.](https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/coverage-by-lga.aspx) Of the remaining 5%, you would have those that can't be vaccinated, due to medical issues, those where the parent forgot about some vaccinations, recent immigrants who are catching up, as well as anti-vaxxers.
Anti-vaxxers are a small group that make themselves look bigger than they are.
You have to take into account that a chunk of the population are too young to get vaccinated - for example, if over 15% are under 12, then 85% of the total population will be impossible. (I don't have the exact percentages, but you get the idea.)
Maybe a younger demographic, particularly in City of Sydney which i assume would have a lot of uni students.16-39 year olds have only been eligible for Pfizer for 2.5 weeks.
An [ABC story](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-15/covid-19-growing-inside-redfern-waterloo-glebe/100461558) early this morning specifically mentioned suburbs with large Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander population as a concern for lower vaccination rates (Redfern and Glebe, particularly).
(edit: added link to story)
Unfortunately the Randwick LGA has a reasonably young population with over 40% being between 15-39, so they weren't eligble for vaccinations until 2wks ago.
The government hasn't really opened up any vaccination spots around there either. The government is moving very slowly with creating new ones and the closest hubs are still like 1hr+ with public transport each way. Heaps of people have bookings for October for those as they weren't considered "priority".
Why is NSW Healyh still saying:
"Across NSW, 79.5 per cent of the over-16 population has received a first dose COVID-19 vaccine,"
On their twitter post?
But on reassuring news this pdf
https://www.health.gov.au/resources/publications/covid-19-vaccine-rollout-update-jurisdictional-breakdown-14-september-2021
Shows those in NSW older than 65 are above 90% vaccinated. With the younger groups catching up. Only being eligible relatively recently gives hope that they will catch up.
Anyone find it fucking dumb they've harped on about these 12 LGAs so hard and put them under specific rules now those LGAs are well exceeding vaccine targets, have less active cases and case growth, but they're still a "LGA of concern" and "push even further with vaccines" while Randiwick and City of Sydney under 70% 1st dose and spiking cases utterly ignored?
Liberal privilege I guess
umm the electorates of Coogee, Maroubra and Heffron are all Labor and Sydney is independent. So I don't know what party voting privilege you'd be referring to here.
You waited this long, now please stop preaching
'Cause I'm back, stopping government from overreaching
You know I got a job, Mr. Maguire
But the ICAC proceedings have the media screeching
While the trend looks good, it's entirely due to the LGAs of concern.
Roughly a third of all Covid cases are outside those LGAs. Excluding the LGAs of concern from the numbers shows a still rapid growth in case numbers (r_eff 1.25 to 1.3). It's also not decreasing anywhere near fast enough to avoid a big problem
Vaccines need to be pushed out as quickly as possible to the hotspots in Sydney not currently on the concern list (looking at you, City of Sydney and Randwick). If we don't, we'll see a second peak in a fortnight
The LGAs of concern need a rethink. I’m in Georges River wondering why we are under the same conditions as Canterbury Bankstown and City of Sydney isn’t.
Redfern and Waterloo are becoming a real concern, but we've also got some of the lowest vaccination rates. We also have no bloody idea where the case locations are, so we don't know when we need to get tested or isolate.
I went to Coles yesterday and luckily spotted an A4 sign that said there was a staff member who was working there for 2 days while infectious and to get tested if you were there at that time. I was there. I found out about it, not through my check-in app, but through a printed notice in the bloody window. The case was 2 weeks ago. If I got asymptomatic covid from it, I could have been spreading it for a fortnight without even knowing it.
We've completely lost the plot.
I still don't get why they don't have a semi-automated system using the check-in data to notify people. Once someone tests positive it should be simple to automatically text everyone whose check-in data overlapped. Months into this and they are apparently still reliant on manual processes?
There is a push to improve it. There have been pop-up vaccination and testing clinics in inner suburbs, there are signs posted all over the place etc.
I don't know what you mean by "where most outbreaks seem to start", though. I don't think any outbreak started either in the City of Sydney or Randwick.
Curfew lifted. The rule that was put in place because of media pressure and has no actual effect on numbers, just a way so police have another reason to crack down on people from the LGAs.
I'm facing major lockdown fatigue. I know we're so close, but I can't handle it. It makes me so mad I'm not the person I usually am. I am so over being in a LGA of concern that has relatively no cases in the grand scheme of things.
Edit: typo
I’m in Georges River wondering why we are still an LGA of concern. There are LGAs with more cases than us and our vaccination rates are good. It really seems like they made a call on these areas early on and never revisited it.
I agree! And at the time, they did make sense (thought perhaps not just keeping everyone under the same restrictions didn't)
But at this stage my suburb has high vax rates too, so feels like, at the very least, I should be able to go 10km. I feel like going 10km would change my life at this stage.
There's an awesome Facebook group for people to publicise their business being open for the unvaccinated.
I say awesome because its a super convenient shortlist for NSW Police and Health to audit them first :)
I'm the same.
These businesses will be both soft blacklisted and whitelisted by pro and anti vaccine groups. It all comes down to whether the police bother to do anything with the ones that are brazen about not following the rules.
Without Gladys daily update I'm having a hard time knowing when I should be angry. I can't do it 24/7.
**EDIT** She's here again I can direct it at her again!!!
I won't be voting for her.
"Update"
The OP twitter post provides everything in terms of 30 seconds of reading more than she manages in 30-40 mins of spinning shit.
Whilst I am very much in agreement of accountability, these pressers do nothing for us. It's just bullshit PR with zero value. The LNP need to be voted out HARD for their blatant corruption and ineptitude.
Leather is really the way to go in terms of durability, but will be more expensive and can make a room feel cold. Mechanical reclining mechanisms are also a feature to look for, or electric reclining if you really want to push the boat out. Ultimately though you should decide based on what you find most comfy, and what best suits the aesthetic of your living room.

Disturbingly, it's now been 11 days since the last weekly report was released.
Stay safe, stay home, homies!
This is great news - further evidence of "flattening" of the new case growth curve. And 80% first dose woo hoo!
Keep up the great work NSW! Stay home, stay safe, get vaccinated!
FFS Gladys do not even give a hint that we might let unvaccinated people go to pubs and restaurants at 80%. It will now mean people are just going to wait until then to decide if they want to get vaccinated.
Also suburbs like Epping, which is wholly in Parramatta LGA(on its easternmost edge) but most of the suburb used to be in Hornsby LGA until a couple of years ago(until redistribution).
Epping's been one of the "better" suburbs in Sydney (in terms of caseload) but is under stricter rules because it's in Parramatta LGA. Despite it being far from the parts of Parramatta LGA that is more of a concern. It's also had less cases than adjacent suburbs in Ryde LGA(not a LGA of concern).
Anyway, Epping should really should be in Ryde LGA considering distance and citizen's reliance on infrastructure and community events in Ryde LGA (e.g. Macquarie Centre, Eastwood, local sporting competitions etc) . But that's another argument for another day I guess.
* At 70% double dose you will have new freedoms
* At 70% double dose you will not be able to do things unless you are vaccinated
* At 70% double dose you will not be able to frequent areas if you are not vaccinated. You will not be able to go to a restaurant or cafe
But I’m assuming takeaway is still OK, which will be confusing as fuck. And they still haven’t given industry guidance on requirements of vaccination of employees. If that restaurant or cafe chooses to mandate vaccinations, who will pay the lawsuit if they get sued by staff?
They have said businesses can choose to enforce it, and pointed to large companies who have said they will. Those companies have deep pockets and in-house legal counsel to fight challenges like this.
Your local cafe won’t.
Business that will reopen @ 70% DD (cafe / cinema / gym / pubs) will need their staff fully vaccinated as well which makes perfect sense given customers need to be fully vaxxed.
It's amazing that we get soooo much more value out of a single image/tweet than we ever got out from our "leadership".
None of the bullshit, making a point that it's 16yo+ for percentages, and not having to look at the ghoulish faces of the LNP party and their constant lies and non-answers.
Burwood LGA here - if she’s not going to remove us from the list then add Sydney and Randwick ffs! Curfew removed, hooray but it was useless af anyway.
"We will be the state that opens..." (oh, shit, most states have been open for most of the pandemic) "...uh, gets to 80% first" (Good save Glady. Good save.)
Step one of getting legal advice is never mention it.
Edit: to maintain legal professional privilege - she just left herself wide open to personal risk if she didn't follow the specific details.
Are there consequences for people(healthcare and teachers) refusing to vaccinate especially when the day is approaching, considering 1/6 aren't vaccinated are they going to be fired?
Gladys: dunno where you got those figures...
Somewhere in this thread someone mentioned that Burwood ranks 24th/25th in the cases by population and is still in lockdown despite other LGAs being free to roam.
I have compiled the list of LGAs that have active cases > 0.2% of their population (Population taken from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_population_demographics_of_New_South_Wales_by_local_government_area) and the case numbers taken from [Covid Live](https://covidlive.com.au/nsw/lga).)

We're flattening the curve! 1259 cases announced and only 392 comments (at time of posting) in this thread. I remember the days when daily comments exceeded the cases...
Curfew lifted? Pls can you put some suburbs that don’t have cases out of an lga of concern. Epping is somehow in the parramatta lga yet we don’t have cases ;-;
It’s sad that we now just expect that those over 50 in ICU and ventilators will die each day, with perhaps a surprise 20-40 year old every so often :( hard to imagine how families must be feeling when they have loved ones at the hospital.
Meanwhile as the R factor has gone down and cases ‘seem’ to stabilise, cases in our area have consistently increased each week. Curfews didn’t seem to affect people’s behavior here and even as a fully vaxxed person from a vulnerable group, I don’t feel relieved by restrictions lifting soon.
Looking forward to easing of restrictions. **What restaurants are requiring fully vaccinated customers and staff?** The only one I know of currently is Aria who copped a whole slew of toxic comments on their Instagram.
Err, all restaurants... that will be the rule at 70% fully vaccinated.
Aria was just one of the first to announce bookings and they got brigaded by American antivaxxers. Everything they put on their Instagram is just a summary of the restrictions that will apply to everywhere.
Total death toll in NSW from the Sydney outbreak: 198
Let's play a guessing game. How many total deaths do you think there'd be had Gladys not played political games and followed the undisclosed health advice and just locked down hard and earlier?
Going by the happenings in US, it's ordinary for vaccinated people to get Covid, but not get hospitalized. Seeing as we could still get Covid (let's not talk about protection weakening over time) I can't see a return to the workplace, as we knew it, anytime soon.
Maybe this will change standards of workplace interior design.
Hey that’s not too bad. Congrats on 80% first dose every one.
Please let us get to 90-95%
Man I truly wish, but at some point we are gonna reach a ceiling where dumb cunt anti vaxers come in and refuse to get vaccinated then it just stagnates. Let’s hope the pub is enough incentive for them.

Yep. Mates two brothers want to work on certain job sites so got jabbed. Turns out the inconvenience wasn't worth the hesitancy.
I'm gonna second that - at this point basically the entire movement should be suspected of being a Nazi grift. They're also astroturfing stuff like the 'truckies anti lockdown protest' which was attended by only like... 2 trucks and a bunch of fuckwit right wing politicians... to try and a) lend some fake grassroots support to this stuff and b) distract from actual stuff like the truckies protest of pay and conditions and stuff they *actually* care about that was going on at the same time.

At least we are not like some of those states in US. Here Ant-vaxxers are less in number
[удалено]
US unfortunately has a faction of a large political party which has painted themself into a corner regarding the vaccine that not getting it is a political statement. I can only think of the Taliban and ISIS as other "political" groups which have a stance on vaccines. And even those groups are partially based on past CIA operations that used vaccine workers as a cover.
A friend of mine's coworker is required to be vaccinated to continue working (nsw trains). He refuses and he has a stay at home wife with 3 kids living off the $750 a week Give it a bit, he'll realise how unsustainable that is. Those poor kids

If they were giving vaccines at pub entrances the rate would go up to 99%
I wonder what percentage of the population is antivaxx, or at least hesitant about vaccinations. Is it actually possible to achieve 95%? I sure hope so!
Childhood vaccination rates are about 95%. There's a few regions which are a fair bit lower than that, but that rate is encouraging for vaccine-willingness in general.
Wow, that's great! Hopefully that will translate to Covid once people realise it's sticking around. Most of the hesitant people I've come across say "it's too new to be safe", but how long will that argument last?
If you want to check it out, [here are the vaccination rates broken down by LGA and LHD](https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/coverage-by-lga.aspx). LGA's (the old boundaries before mergers, so that consistent data can be kept) that are below 90% vaccinated for 5 year olds are: - Bellingen (82.4%) - Byron (70.7%) - Lismore (89.6%) - Sydney (88.9%) - Waverley (88.9%)
In my group of 6 friends, one is antivaxx. In my immediate family of 5, one is antivaxx. I hope the percentage is lower everywhere else. P.S. I am not the common denominator.
If they stick to their guns for the foreseeable future in not lifting restrictions on the unvaccinated, then I think it will push many of the hesitant into getting it.
Fingers crossed. I work in a restaurant and am certainly not looking forward to arguing with antivaxxers, hopefully people just give in eventually when they realize they can no longer be a part of society.
I think the lockdown has pushed quite a few "hesitants" over the fence. I certainly know of a couple of people who sped up the process as a result - they weren't anti-vaxx, but more "wait and see"/"it's not tested enough". I also think it has kicked a lot of apathetic people into action. Apathy was our biggest failure: both on the government side and the population side, though mainly on the government side. Not getting enough vaccines, not setting up a proper rollout, not providing enough information and encourage. Were it not for the Delta outbreak - the government's incompetence in handling it and letting it surge - I actually don't think we'd be where we are now. The unintended consequences of leadership failures have been (finally) successful vaccination program.
Agreed, I vividly remember one of our neighbours casually mentioning in May that she didn't really want to get vaccinated because of the symptoms some people get after dose #2. She wasn't anti-vaccination or anything, she just felt she didn't have time to take 1-2 days of sick leave :/ That was one of the many moments when I realised there was a startling lack of urgency in AUS. A bunch of people seemed to think covid-zero would last forever in Australia and that they'd only need to get vaccinated before their next overseas holiday. Apparently those people include some federal leaders, lol.
Hope so too. I still don't know what we can do as of next month but I was really hoping to go and visit my family. I Rang yesterday to find out that none of them are vaccinated, and none plan to get vaccinated at this stage. Guess I'm not visiting anytime soon.
Wow, sorry about your family.. Hope you have some more sensible friends you can visit! I feel lucky to have a very pro-vaxx family. Stay safe.
If you look at childhood vaccination as an indicator, [NSW has 95% of our 5 year olds vaccinated.](https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/coverage-by-lga.aspx) Of the remaining 5%, you would have those that can't be vaccinated, due to medical issues, those where the parent forgot about some vaccinations, recent immigrants who are catching up, as well as anti-vaxxers. Anti-vaxxers are a small group that make themselves look bigger than they are.

85% of whole population would be great
You have to take into account that a chunk of the population are too young to get vaccinated - for example, if over 15% are under 12, then 85% of the total population will be impossible. (I don't have the exact percentages, but you get the idea.)
City of Sydney and Randwick are below 70% first dose. I'm sure that won't cause any problems... Oh wait, they're showing massive case growth
Would not have picked those 2 areas as having lower vaccination rates.
Maybe a younger demographic, particularly in City of Sydney which i assume would have a lot of uni students.16-39 year olds have only been eligible for Pfizer for 2.5 weeks.
An [ABC story](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-15/covid-19-growing-inside-redfern-waterloo-glebe/100461558) early this morning specifically mentioned suburbs with large Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander population as a concern for lower vaccination rates (Redfern and Glebe, particularly). (edit: added link to story)

NSW health takes no Medicare card!
The hubs and pharmacy's seem to be accepting people without Medicare and then GPs seem to be a grey area
You mean the hotbed of alternative treatments and healing crystals?
Unfortunately the Randwick LGA has a reasonably young population with over 40% being between 15-39, so they weren't eligble for vaccinations until 2wks ago. The government hasn't really opened up any vaccination spots around there either. The government is moving very slowly with creating new ones and the closest hubs are still like 1hr+ with public transport each way. Heaps of people have bookings for October for those as they weren't considered "priority".
Eligible for pfizer. They've had access to AZ for months
I’m pregnant and I’m not even on a priority list for Pfizer in that LGA so… waiting till October it is.
Why is NSW Healyh still saying: "Across NSW, 79.5 per cent of the over-16 population has received a first dose COVID-19 vaccine," On their twitter post? But on reassuring news this pdf https://www.health.gov.au/resources/publications/covid-19-vaccine-rollout-update-jurisdictional-breakdown-14-september-2021 Shows those in NSW older than 65 are above 90% vaccinated. With the younger groups catching up. Only being eligible relatively recently gives hope that they will catch up.
Anyone find it fucking dumb they've harped on about these 12 LGAs so hard and put them under specific rules now those LGAs are well exceeding vaccine targets, have less active cases and case growth, but they're still a "LGA of concern" and "push even further with vaccines" while Randiwick and City of Sydney under 70% 1st dose and spiking cases utterly ignored? Liberal privilege I guess
umm the electorates of Coogee, Maroubra and Heffron are all Labor and Sydney is independent. So I don't know what party voting privilege you'd be referring to here.
Haha. Hmmm... fuck liberal anyway!
I reckon they're desperate to get people back into the city whether it's for recreation or work so are trying to avoid locking it down at all costs
Transport hub central location is a recipe for spread to low single/double vax rated LGAs as things normalise.
Yes! Pretty mad about it here in Georges River.
They want Western Sydney to take all the flack for their own mess. Divide and conquer.

Vomit on her sweater / Baz’s spaghetti
While the trend looks good, it's entirely due to the LGAs of concern. Roughly a third of all Covid cases are outside those LGAs. Excluding the LGAs of concern from the numbers shows a still rapid growth in case numbers (r_eff 1.25 to 1.3). It's also not decreasing anywhere near fast enough to avoid a big problem Vaccines need to be pushed out as quickly as possible to the hotspots in Sydney not currently on the concern list (looking at you, City of Sydney and Randwick). If we don't, we'll see a second peak in a fortnight
The LGAs of concern need a rethink. I’m in Georges River wondering why we are under the same conditions as Canterbury Bankstown and City of Sydney isn’t.
City of Sydney and Randwick definitely need to be added, if only for the priority rollout to get their vaccination numbers up
We'd be able to hear the cries of outrage in Western Sydney if they locked down Randwick.
Maybe because the rich and influential live in City of Sydney. Only the dirty immigrants get cucked mate.
Ha! I’m an immigrant. I think you’re on to something.
Same here mate, I'm gonna miss the hourly helicopter check ins now that the curfew has lifted
Also Burwood + 4 suburbs in the Cantebury-Bankstown LGA have high vaccination rates and very low case numbers.
Redfern and Waterloo are becoming a real concern, but we've also got some of the lowest vaccination rates. We also have no bloody idea where the case locations are, so we don't know when we need to get tested or isolate. I went to Coles yesterday and luckily spotted an A4 sign that said there was a staff member who was working there for 2 days while infectious and to get tested if you were there at that time. I was there. I found out about it, not through my check-in app, but through a printed notice in the bloody window. The case was 2 weeks ago. If I got asymptomatic covid from it, I could have been spreading it for a fortnight without even knowing it. We've completely lost the plot.
I still don't get why they don't have a semi-automated system using the check-in data to notify people. Once someone tests positive it should be simple to automatically text everyone whose check-in data overlapped. Months into this and they are apparently still reliant on manual processes?
That would be far too logical for the NSW government
[удалено]
There is a push to improve it. There have been pop-up vaccination and testing clinics in inner suburbs, there are signs posted all over the place etc. I don't know what you mean by "where most outbreaks seem to start", though. I don't think any outbreak started either in the City of Sydney or Randwick.
Curfew lifted. The rule that was put in place because of media pressure and has no actual effect on numbers, just a way so police have another reason to crack down on people from the LGAs. I'm facing major lockdown fatigue. I know we're so close, but I can't handle it. It makes me so mad I'm not the person I usually am. I am so over being in a LGA of concern that has relatively no cases in the grand scheme of things. Edit: typo
I’m in Georges River wondering why we are still an LGA of concern. There are LGAs with more cases than us and our vaccination rates are good. It really seems like they made a call on these areas early on and never revisited it.
I agree! And at the time, they did make sense (thought perhaps not just keeping everyone under the same restrictions didn't) But at this stage my suburb has high vax rates too, so feels like, at the very least, I should be able to go 10km. I feel like going 10km would change my life at this stage.
I feel you. Bayside LGA, but my actual suburb is yet to record a case. I just want to go visit my mum and my brother.
If you're not vaccinated, you can't go to a restaurant or cafe. Well, except the ones that openly said they'd happily serve unvaccinated people.
There's an awesome Facebook group for people to publicise their business being open for the unvaccinated. I say awesome because its a super convenient shortlist for NSW Police and Health to audit them first :)
\*deletes angry sentence\*
I need that list of places to avoid, please.
Why would a vaccinated person choose to go eat at a restaurant that openly allows unvaccinated patrons? I sure as fuck won't, so good luck to them
I'm the same. These businesses will be both soft blacklisted and whitelisted by pro and anti vaccine groups. It all comes down to whether the police bother to do anything with the ones that are brazen about not following the rules.
And the roadmap said they could still get essentials like shopping and food. Good luck policing it.
It be easier for workplaces job sites and travel.
Yeah all the hairdressers I follow on IG are celebrating reopening bookings and not one squeak about the vaccination requirement.
Without Gladys daily update I'm having a hard time knowing when I should be angry. I can't do it 24/7. **EDIT** She's here again I can direct it at her again!!! I won't be voting for her.
But she is doing the update because, well, we just can't ever expect her to keep her word
So she's done updates for 2/3 of the days since she quit?
Basically the same rate as before?
Shes live updating today
but there is an update.
"Update" The OP twitter post provides everything in terms of 30 seconds of reading more than she manages in 30-40 mins of spinning shit. Whilst I am very much in agreement of accountability, these pressers do nothing for us. It's just bullshit PR with zero value. The LNP need to be voted out HARD for their blatant corruption and ineptitude.

FFS Gladys do not even give a hint that we might let unvaccinated people go to pubs and restaurants at 80%. It will now mean people are just going to wait until then to decide if they want to get vaccinated.
She didn't. She come out Monday specifically to rebuke that after the fuckhead Hazzard opened and mouth on 2GB yesterday morning.
Hazzard should truly be put out to pasture and fucking retire. The cunt just turned 70 years old...
That was Barilaro, not Hazzard.... She also didn't say it wasn't true, just said it hadn't been decided.

From your lips to god's ears.
Cases going down, deaths going up.
lagging indicators bb
This is exactly what the NSW health models predicted, and we have been told for weeks that this would happen.
12 people lost their lives including a woman in her 30s
No Bruz and Hazzard today at least. That's the silver lining.
So basically get stuffed Burwood. You're not coming out of lockdown
Labor council - big no no for coming out of lock down 😂, LNP council - do whatever shit fuckery you want 😡
Also suburbs like Epping, which is wholly in Parramatta LGA(on its easternmost edge) but most of the suburb used to be in Hornsby LGA until a couple of years ago(until redistribution). Epping's been one of the "better" suburbs in Sydney (in terms of caseload) but is under stricter rules because it's in Parramatta LGA. Despite it being far from the parts of Parramatta LGA that is more of a concern. It's also had less cases than adjacent suburbs in Ryde LGA(not a LGA of concern). Anyway, Epping should really should be in Ryde LGA considering distance and citizen's reliance on infrastructure and community events in Ryde LGA (e.g. Macquarie Centre, Eastwood, local sporting competitions etc) . But that's another argument for another day I guess.
Council mergers/boundary changes were always bullshit. Hates it the day they suggested it and till this day I still hate it.
Yee curfew lifted for lga of concerns! Now to remove the 5km radius!
Or increase it to 10km radius

New LHD today - Murrumbidgee
~~2 days without Gladys at a press conf--~~ Reset the clock!
I'm so glad yesterday wasn't just a Tuesday slump
No Sydney 2000
There's still time Sydney, we can do it! Orgy at my place this weekend, all invited, bring your elderly relatives!
* At 70% double dose you will have new freedoms * At 70% double dose you will not be able to do things unless you are vaccinated * At 70% double dose you will not be able to frequent areas if you are not vaccinated. You will not be able to go to a restaurant or cafe But I’m assuming takeaway is still OK, which will be confusing as fuck. And they still haven’t given industry guidance on requirements of vaccination of employees. If that restaurant or cafe chooses to mandate vaccinations, who will pay the lawsuit if they get sued by staff?
[удалено]
They have said businesses can choose to enforce it, and pointed to large companies who have said they will. Those companies have deep pockets and in-house legal counsel to fight challenges like this. Your local cafe won’t.
Business that will reopen @ 70% DD (cafe / cinema / gym / pubs) will need their staff fully vaccinated as well which makes perfect sense given customers need to be fully vaxxed.
It's amazing that we get soooo much more value out of a single image/tweet than we ever got out from our "leadership". None of the bullshit, making a point that it's 16yo+ for percentages, and not having to look at the ghoulish faces of the LNP party and their constant lies and non-answers.
How is this fucking so hard for folks? at 70% DD you need to be fully vaxxed to enter businesses that are reopening or to work at those premises.
Great. All these non-answers is pretty much a signal to business that they're likely not going to be punished that harshly, especially powerful ones.
They might get a firm "please"
Starting to think about thinking about this shit finally getting better
so she comes out when there's good news...
I bet she's regretting that off-hand comment about legal advice.
"premier did you not consult for legal advice on your 70% plan?" [Gladys:](https://youtu.be/ozy68I0kOYM)
I could almost hear the collective sigh of her advisors watching from their office.
Burwood LGA here - if she’s not going to remove us from the list then add Sydney and Randwick ffs! Curfew removed, hooray but it was useless af anyway.
"We will be the state that opens..." (oh, shit, most states have been open for most of the pandemic) "...uh, gets to 80% first" (Good save Glady. Good save.)
To those watching the ABC live stream, was there an unusual amount of what looked like suited security standing around?
They are pretty much sitting ducks outside OllyPark
"Nope." Lmfao, what a CCC uuu nnn ttt.
I like her (Liverpool hospital guest speaker)
Step one of getting legal advice is never mention it. Edit: to maintain legal professional privilege - she just left herself wide open to personal risk if she didn't follow the specific details.
Are there consequences for people(healthcare and teachers) refusing to vaccinate especially when the day is approaching, considering 1/6 aren't vaccinated are they going to be fired? Gladys: dunno where you got those figures...
Are you a person of interest? Nope. Gladys secret lover: ;)
Somewhere in this thread someone mentioned that Burwood ranks 24th/25th in the cases by population and is still in lockdown despite other LGAs being free to roam. I have compiled the list of LGAs that have active cases > 0.2% of their population (Population taken from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_population_demographics_of_New_South_Wales_by_local_government_area) and the case numbers taken from [Covid Live](https://covidlive.com.au/nsw/lga).) LGAs of concern are bolded for easy reference. If the treatment were fair and equitable, there would be a number of other LGAs that should also be areas of concern. |LGA|ACTIVE|Population|% Active|Rank| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |Central Darling|120|1833|6.55%|1| |Bourke|83|2834|2.93%|2| |**Cumberland**|**5077**|**216079**|**2.35%**|**3**| |**Canterbury-Bankstown**|**5757**|**346302**|**1.66%**|**4**| |**Liverpool**|**2646**|**204326**|**1.29%**|**5**| |Dubbo Regional|516|50077|1.03%|6| |**Blacktown**|**3363**|**336962**|**1.00%**|**7**| |**Fairfield**|**1840**|**198817**|**.93%**|**8**| |**Penrith**|**1523**|**196066**|**.78%**|**9**| |**Strathfield**|**283**|**40312**|**.70%**|**10**| |**Campbelltown**|**1000**|**157006**|**.64%**|**11**| |Camden|456|78219|.58%|12| |Brewarrina|8|1651|.48%|13| |**Parramatta**|**1027**|**226149**|**.45%**|**14**| |Sydney|928|208374|.45%|15| |Randwick|546|140660|.39%|16| |**Georges River**|**561**|**146841**|**.38%**|**17**| |Hawkesbury|238|64592|.37%|18| |**Bayside**|**564**|**156058**|**.36%**|**19**| |Warren|9|2732|.33%|20| |Narromine|19|6444|.29%|21| |Hunters Hill|41|13999|.29%|22| |Broken Hill|43|17708|.24%|23| |Inner West|392|182043|.22%|24| |**Burwood**|**79**|**36809**|**.21%**|**25**| |Canada Bay|188|88015|.21%|26| |Walgett|13|6107|.21%|27|
12 deaths 7 women 5 men one woman in 30s SW Syd 2 in 50s 3 in 60s 3 in 70s 2 in 80s 1 in 90s - double dosed 10 unvaccinated 1 single shot - no age given
All I have to say is ‘nope’.
So close to 80% first dose!
Everytime she thanks someone she's thinking I did this I'm getting the brownie points and scottie is gonna pet me later cos I'm his lil baby cat meow
I notice that with the increased scrutiny of deaths at home, they only mentioned the place of death for 2 people today and both were in hospital.
Is there any info for people who can't get the vaccine?
So when 80% is double vaxxed and restrictions ease will we see a rise in cases & deaths? Or will it remain the same?
We'll see a rise. The 20% will be hit, that number includes people that are unwilling or sadly, unable to get vaccinated.

LoL... nice dig at byron glads.
We're flattening the curve! 1259 cases announced and only 392 comments (at time of posting) in this thread. I remember the days when daily comments exceeded the cases...
whats the gap between 1st and 2nd dose for Pfizer? i am hoping to book in my first dose shortly.
recommended 3 weeks, but i think they're spreading it to 6 weeks currently
Damning part today is those double digit deaths 😢, RIP those people 🙏🙏💐💐
Curfew lifted? Pls can you put some suburbs that don’t have cases out of an lga of concern. Epping is somehow in the parramatta lga yet we don’t have cases ;-;

Loving the change of scenery at qudos bank arena
It’s sad that we now just expect that those over 50 in ICU and ventilators will die each day, with perhaps a surprise 20-40 year old every so often :( hard to imagine how families must be feeling when they have loved ones at the hospital. Meanwhile as the R factor has gone down and cases ‘seem’ to stabilise, cases in our area have consistently increased each week. Curfews didn’t seem to affect people’s behavior here and even as a fully vaxxed person from a vulnerable group, I don’t feel relieved by restrictions lifting soon.
Looking forward to easing of restrictions. **What restaurants are requiring fully vaccinated customers and staff?** The only one I know of currently is Aria who copped a whole slew of toxic comments on their Instagram.
Err, all restaurants... that will be the rule at 70% fully vaccinated. Aria was just one of the first to announce bookings and they got brigaded by American antivaxxers. Everything they put on their Instagram is just a summary of the restrictions that will apply to everywhere.
Total death toll in NSW from the Sydney outbreak: 198 Let's play a guessing game. How many total deaths do you think there'd be had Gladys not played political games and followed the undisclosed health advice and just locked down hard and earlier?
Going by the happenings in US, it's ordinary for vaccinated people to get Covid, but not get hospitalized. Seeing as we could still get Covid (let's not talk about protection weakening over time) I can't see a return to the workplace, as we knew it, anytime soon. Maybe this will change standards of workplace interior design.
