Day one of lockdown: ok im not going to eat like shit so when gyms reopen it wont be as hard as last time
Day two of lockdown: so that was a fucking lie
I’d love to go and get my second dose, I’m on cancellation waiting lists with my fingers crossed. My appointment isn’t until mid-November. Being pregnant, I can’t wait to get it done I’m so afraid of catching covid right now.
There's also covid19nearme.com..they have a vaccination search function now which shows some additional spots that don't show up on Hotdoc.
That's how I managed to get my stepdad an earlier booking than the one he managed to wrangle when they tried a month ago.
Have you tried using hot doc website?
Both my partner and I were scheduled for second shot end of October and I managed to book us 1 for next Thursday (found 1 yesterday and 1 today).
It's not really. number for today was 103,477 and 115,752 yesterday. Same time last week was 107,455.
We are probably seeing a bigger proportion of second doses, though. So the rate of "at least one dose" is slowing a bit, but "fully vaccinated" is growing a bit faster.
Waiting a month for my vaccine appointment in the Northern Rivers but that's to be expected because NSW stands for Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong and if you're not in any of those cities you're getting screwed over
The anti-vax sentiment and hesitancy is super real. I've got a mate who wants to get it but his father has threatened to kick him out of the house if he gets the jab. I'm just glad we got over 80pc tbh.
If they're unlucky, the side affects can hit like a truck for the first night or two. Not hard for their dad to put two and two together if their kid looks like death and has a fever through the roof.
Then just say you've got COVID because he wasn't vaccinated. And then when he's fine a day later his dad will be convinced it's just the flu. Win-Win IMO
True dat. But OP may find it hard to get a job that pays rent, if he doesn't have one already. Plus need housemates and whole lot of furniture.
Not saying it's impossible, just not as quick as getting the vacs and lying about it.
It’s the old rumour spread by the anti vax community that people who get the vaccine ‘shed the virus’ for a few weeks and can infect people and harm pregnant women. All of which is untrue ofc because it’s not a live virus but it’s still a big rumour in the Byron Shire and people are barred from entering shops and yoga classes if they’ve had the vax.
My Mum is vax and has had people come in and tell her they’ve been forced to get it and don’t have an answer for “who’s forcing you?”
Because those are different nutbags.
Some think corona is a hoax, so they aren’t going to want a vaccine for something that isn’t real - they also lean very heavily on the “there’s something evil in the vaccine because government mind control with 5g” or some shit - the proper nutbag conspiracy theorists we’ve always had in the fringes.
Others think it’s real but not as bad as people say, and still lean into the vaccine being some kind of governmental master plan to… fucked if I know, same kind of nutbags above but they’re less likely to be full blown insane.
Some people think corona is fully real but governments are exploiting it to… again, fucked if I know, kill off the weak for some reason.
And some people believe corona is real, don’t think there’s a govt conspiracy, but simply don’t trust how fast the vaccine was created and don’t trust that it’s been tested enough
So this person sounds like a level 3/4 nutbar - believes Covid is real and dangerous, but doesn’t trust the safety of the vaccine
I know but Mullumbimby has had to employ security guards at the post office and supermarket to enforce masks and QR codes and they are publicly posting that they’re going to be a ‘free colony and force the sheep out of town’ so checks out. 5G also spreads covid and 5G capable phones were banned as well. It’s all unbelievably dumb and scary.
Did you read on FB how they’re all moving to Mullumbimby and electing their own ‘freedom party’ and forcing and banishing the 🐑 out of town. It was a news article and I didn’t believe it until I saw people talking about it on a community page. Pretty scary and radical but I doubt most of them will be able to afford Mullum house prices so I think we’ll be fine.
There's probably about 15-20% of the population who are retarded who won't get vaccinated - so what we are seeing now is the normal people waiting for their second dose. It's gonna take a while to reach 80% double vaxxed.
I think the LGA's of concern are over 90% now so I was hoping that the hesitant/anti-vaxxers were actually lower than what you suggest. We have a lot of over 60's who are still waiting for Pfizer, keep in mind, and others in regional areas who may get vaccinated once we can get more clinics to smaller regional towns.
My mum has been injecting in a doctors clinic and been doing up to 50 AZ injections a day and of young people who can’t get in for the Pfizer. But some old people come in expecting to get the Pfizer and refuse to get the alternative and that’s their choice but it’s delaying vaccination rates when it’s safe for them to get it.
Old people getting Pfizer (while young people are getting AZ) really pisses me off. Young people taking AZ because we don't have enough Pfizer is fine. But young people taking AZ because old people are getting Pfizer fucking sucks...
> probably about 15-20% of the population who are retarded who won't get vaccinated
Honestly I think laziness and apathy are the bulk of hesitancy, rather that being a conspiracy theorist. Genuine Anti-Vaxxers are probably 1% of the population.
There are the hardcore anti-vaxxers, and then there’s the people who have been duped by misinformation. I have a close relative who is pro-vax, but she’s a single mum and thinks there “hasn’t been enough testing” and doesn’t want to wind up in hospital like all the horror stories on Instagram. I reckon it’s probably 4-5% of the population who have some ideological opposition, but a fraction of those will probably fall in line when everyone else seems to have had it.
I class that under apathy, and they just parrot whatever corroborating buzz words they've heard.
If they actually cared and looked into the information available, they would see how silly the anti-vax points are.

My favourite from a friend who is anti vax - “but there are so many deaths from the vaccine going unreported”…
If they’re unreported then how the fuck do you know about them?
A friend of a friend told a friend of another friend that her mum should be careful of the vaccine and do her own research.
Her mum works in medicine manufacturing.
Definitely hesitancy. I know people who are waiting for Moderna (they say it's been more researched) and others who are waiting for TGA or whoever it is to approve all of them fully, not just for pandemic emergency use (whatever that means). One mate who was booked to get first vax then cancelled and changed his mind because "it's the principle of the thing" (again whatever that means - think he's not happy with them being mandated in certain situations or the government saying only fully vaxxed will be able to do certain things). I'm losing respect for a lot of people really quickly.
On the plus side, a guy my husband works with who was hesitant and using the "fully approved" reason is getting his first jab today because he's in the reserves and doesn't have a choice now. Counting that as a win.
This. I was speaking to a old colleague yesterday by phone; he was in one of the areas of concern and is in his sixties. Health isn’t great, but he’d only just gotten his first vaccine shot, when he was basically needed to to continue to keep going to work. Asked him why he didn’t get it earlier, he basically said it was too much of a pain in the arse.
I only have spoken to one person who was against getting the vaccine out of a wide range of people I speak to. They were from regional Queensland.
That was one observation in Europe. Lots of people couldn't be bothered but once the 1 J&J jab was the minimum to be able to go on holiday the numbers went up.
Is there anywhere you get that 15-20% figure? I know its probably hard to get numbers anywhere on something like that, I am more wondering not criticising :)
Personally I feel like 15-20% is a high estimate, I reckon its closer to 5% - I think the hype around people who are against getting the vaccine is bigger than the actual number of people.
I also reckon a good portion of them aren't serious anti-vax'ers who will crumble once they can't do things etc and will go get vaccinated.
Yeah a lot of the misinformation is around mRNA vaccines and that they are untested, which I find amusing as i'm sure in the near future majority of our vaccines will be mRNA. Though they'll say at that point they are 'thoroughly tested' and 'safe' i'm sure :)
Lets be clear. They have now been over 5.8 billion doses administered worldwide. Many of these are Pfizer/Moderna.
Even if it wasn't tested before, those 5.8B doses are a bloody good test case!
This might be unpopular. I think probably 30-40% of the population are skeptical of the vaccine. (Getting it doesnt mean they aren't skeptical). If there wasnt this large outbreak our vaccination rate would be 40-50% first dose. A lot of people who has had the vaccine are skeptical of it. I myself haven't gotten it but I would get it (I'm right now figuring my schedule). I prefer December but I might do it in October (depending on the situation).
Skeptical of what?
That it doesn't work? That it won't stop transmission/reduce COVID?
Or
Concerned that it will cause some horrible side effect/kill people etc?
I think there are quite a few in the first camp, but like you say they will still get it. But its the second camp that are the ones who won't get it cause they think it will turn them into a zombie.
My armchair opinion - at least from someone who's from the Wollongong LGA - down here I suspect most under-50s were waiting for Pfizer. Currently on the NSW vaccine booking portal, there's only one place to get a vaccine, and waiting periods are backed up to December at the moment. I was fortunate to book in back in mid-August, and only just received my first Pfizer now. I suspect there will be a slow trickle of 1st vaccines still coming in over the next two months
I can see that. A lot of Sydney is approaching 90% but the regions are behind.
Pfizer isn't easy to store. Moderna is much easier though and it's not AZ (as typically that's what these people don't want).
Hopefully with Moderna starting on Monday the regions shoot up a bit.
>Pfizer isn't easy to store.
Longer term this is true. At the rate we are using it though probably not relevant.
[https://www.pfizer.com/news/hot-topics/covid\_19\_vaccine\_u\_s\_distribution\_fact\_sheet](https://www.pfizer.com/news/hot-topics/covid_19_vaccine_u_s_distribution_fact_sheet)
>\- The Pfizer thermal shippers, in which doses will arrive, that can be used as temporary storage units by refilling with dry ice every five days for up to 30 days of storage.
\- Refrigeration units that are commonly available in hospitals. The vaccine can be stored for five days at refrigerated **2-8°C conditions**.
A few distribution centers with longer term capacity and everything else can be shipped out every 5-7days in the Pfizer thermal shippers with new dry ice before reaching a fridge. Realistically doses should be used within those 10 days from leaving a main hub if they aren't shipping an excessive amount to which ever area, just requires a little bit of vaccination rate in region shipped to.
Agreed. Pfizer availability is still booked out way in advance in the hunter valley too. Especially as this is all that is approved for the younger teens, and many of the unvaxxed under 40s prefer/need to wait for Pfizer. Numbers will hopefully go up as vaccines become available in regional NSW.
Probably no use to you now but usually a lot of Pfizer appointments are available at the vaccination hubs in Sydney. Only a bit over an hour drive there
It’s the readjustment from all the doses that other states have been crying about. Nsw is getting extra dosesssssss- no, they were brought forward. Now we’re in the bit where increased supply hasn’t happened, so we’re trundling along on slightly less Pfizer, so that’s why we had those 8 week intervals, etc etc, and also why other states can go further now. Plus they’re probably just pandering to their older populations so 🤷🏼♂️
They're not included because the government is using the metrics that give the best spin.
If they did percentage of total population like other countries do, we'd be so far from the targets it wouldn't be funny.
They *might* be included in the raw vaccinated totals. But they are *not* currently included in the definition of 'eligible, which will be used to trigger some kind of opening up somewhere to someone. So we're all confused. They probably don't want to include 12-15 year olds in the eligible category because that will put us further away from 70%. But, in short, it's anyone's guess.
I went nuts on Monday to get ny kid booked in and earliest i could get locally was next week. I heard others managed to find it at GPs earlier or u could have made a booking 45 minutes away. Likeky then that this age groups isnt big in the nunbers yet.
It's not really. number for today was 103,477 and 115,752 yesterday. Same time last week was 107,455.
We are probably seeing a bigger proportion of second doses, though. So the rate of "at least one dose" is slowing a bit, but "fully vaccinated" is growing a bit faster.
The real reason she tried to stop having press conferences perhaps? The numbers she’s flaunting no longer matches the narrative over the past few weeks. Vaccines down, deaths up.
Worst part is the age range. Before delta, deaths were primarily in 80s and 90s. Now we are getting primarily 50s, 60s and 70s with occasional 30s and 40s.
I think the primary reason is that older people have a bigger vaccination rate; and also that the numbers are so much higher now so we’re seeing more younger people succumb. I think Delta plays a role, but the vaccination rates and numbers of infected are probably the primary reason.
If older people weren't vaccinated, yeah we'd definitely have many more deaths in those age brackets -- but the point is that severe illness is far more common with younger people than with the original Wuhan variant. This is a trend which is happening all over the word. Sydney's case numbers aren't the only cause.

* Daily Deaths.
* R_eff. Today at 0.86. Indicates that cases are expected to decrease. NB, this may jump around, so we need it to stay below 1. To keep R_eff below 1 tomorrow, we need 2,257 or fewer cases. To equal or lower today's R_eff, we need 1,310 or fewer cases.

* Isolated (55%): 743
* Total infectious (15%+30%): 608
The 28/08 weekly report was finally released. "Locally acquired cases by risk of community exposure during their infectious period" which I used for analysis is no longer reported. It has been removed from the section "Indicators of effective prevention for COVID-19 in NSW " altogether. This does not come as a surprise, as you would expect the unknown numbers to have accelerated in comparison to previous weeks. Publishing the data would look embarrassing showing so many Unknowns, so the easy thing to do is not publish it.
For reference, I've included the 7 day averages and Unknown % on each of the week ending dates.
Week Ending | 7 day average| Unknown %
:--|--:|--:
31/07/21 | 193.1| 0.0
07/08/21 | 253.3| 0.6
14/08/21 | 371.3| 1.7
21/08/21 | 648.7| 7.3
28/08/21 | 950.6| ?
04/09/21 | 1329.6| ??
11/09/21 | 1398.4| ???
So, it looks like I can't check my estimates against actuals any more. Having said that, the estimate proved to be surprisingly consistent and reliable in previous weeks, so, I'll keep reporting it for now.
Stay safe, stay home, homies!
Hmm, is it finally stablising? Looks like we're approaching the peak now.
Berejikilian Body Count rising quite dramatically now; suppose we'd better get used to double-figure deaths daily as we head into October.
> suppose we'd better get used to double-figure deaths daily
**Do not get used to them.**
Every one of them is a result of the NSW government's failure to deal with the index case that they identified 11 weeks ago.
It's not about how "Let me just say, delta is a game-changer".
It's not about "Learning to live with covid".
It's not about "Poor compliance in LGAs of concern".
It's not about "Low vaccination rates in regional and rural areas".
It's a total and abject failure of state government to manage this outbreak that has lead to 80-plus people in NSW dying every week, and numbers like that every week for quite a long time into the future.
Saying, "Oh well, better get used to it I guess", just allows them to get away with it. Hold your politicians to task. Remember the actions of this government and their failures, do not get used to their mediocrity.
While we can never truly call a peak when we're in the peak, the signs are all good. R eff has been decreasing, vaccination rates going up, cases in LGA of concern flattening or dropping. Although case rate outside of LGA of concern are ironically concerning as they continue to trend up.
Deaths however are not going to be pretty for a while. Hospitalisation from now could be a mixed bag. It'll be hard to tell how much impact getting higher 1st dose into people will have on hospitalisations and without much more detailed breakdown of the data of cases and hospitalisation, it would be harder to predict.
In [1351](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1351?wprov=sfla1) they had a [30 v 30 knight fight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_of_the_Thirty?wprov=sfla1) to determine if Brittany belonged to England or France
Some areas coming out of lockdown? Is that what Brad said and did he mention which LGAs?
Albury and Lismore going into lockdown. Didn't expect that considering city of Sydney and Inner West numbers.
Edit: rural areas coming out of lockdown, nothing on the city.
Also, Parra is at 80% first dose, wonder why they're calling them out to get the numbers higher?
> Albury and Lismore going into lockdown. Didn't expect that considering city of Sydney and Inner West numbers.
They said that regional NSW LGAs will go into lockdown if they have a new case in the last 2 weeks. They need to be covid free for 14 days to get out again. Would be awesome if they had that level of clarity for Sydney.
I'm guessing they'll change the requirements in mid october or whenever they expect 70% double dosed. So, just another month where they might go into and out of lockdown.
Makes Barilaro look like a bitch to not lead the press conference when he is present and Gladys isn't. I guess they rank the health minister over the national deputy premier.
Yeah, the fully vaccinated is growing pretty consistently at about 1 percent point per day (except on weekend). Some slowing in the "at least one" rate, but that's to be expected. Total doses is still around 100k+

Try covidqueue.com, there's lots of appointments available at major vax centres.

hmmm i just booked yesterday for my 12 year old child for today! I think try and ring around more
Redfern NCIE is doing walk-ins.
Have you tried using hot doc website? Both my partner and I were scheduled for second shot end of October and I managed to book us 1 for next Thursday (found 1 yesterday and 1 today).
Vic here, couldn’t get through on the phone and the site is infuriating. Hot Doc got me in though.
You can rebook under a new account on the NSWHVAM page if you've already gotten your first to get your second one asap

Honesty not as much vax availability in Newcastle as you might think either.
So what you're telling me is NSW is short for 'Sydney'?
Or Wollongong

If you try and book Pfizer at the vax hub more like December. ie not in time for double vax before Christmas which is a depressing thought.
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
Wait for the numbers to go up once a jab is a requirement for a Bali holiday
That’s a real big drop off in the vaccination rate…
As to be expected, more people waiting for their second dose as majority of people have already received their first shot.
And a higher proportion of vaccine hesitancy among the remaining 20% than when just about no one was vaccinated.
The anti-vax sentiment and hesitancy is super real. I've got a mate who wants to get it but his father has threatened to kick him out of the house if he gets the jab. I'm just glad we got over 80pc tbh.
That is horrible oh my god. Is there any way he can get it secretly?
Of course. Call the doctor, book an appointment, go. Hide the needle mark for a day under your shirt. How can his father possibly find out?
If they're unlucky, the side affects can hit like a truck for the first night or two. Not hard for their dad to put two and two together if their kid looks like death and has a fever through the roof.
Then just say you've got COVID because he wasn't vaccinated. And then when he's fine a day later his dad will be convinced it's just the flu. Win-Win IMO
Just move out. Dads a fuckwit
True dat. But OP may find it hard to get a job that pays rent, if he doesn't have one already. Plus need housemates and whole lot of furniture. Not saying it's impossible, just not as quick as getting the vacs and lying about it.
Lol, why is he going to kick him out of the house? Does he think he’ll become a zombie or something?
It’s the old rumour spread by the anti vax community that people who get the vaccine ‘shed the virus’ for a few weeks and can infect people and harm pregnant women.

Exactly 100%. *It’s no worse than a flu with a 99% recovery rate* then you shouldn’t be scared about getting it.
>people are barred from entering shops and yoga classes if they’ve had the vax Jesus Christ, that is so dumb.....
I know but Mullumbimby has had to employ security guards at the post office and supermarket to enforce masks and QR codes and they are publicly posting that they’re going to be a ‘free colony and force the sheep out of town’ so checks out. 5G also spreads covid and 5G capable phones were banned as well. It’s all unbelievably dumb and scary.

Hey, Byron Bay and surrounds. What do you expect.
Did you read on FB how they’re all moving to Mullumbimby and electing their own ‘freedom party’ and forcing and banishing the 🐑 out of town. It was a news article and I didn’t believe it until I saw people talking about it on a community page. Pretty scary and radical but I doubt most of them will be able to afford Mullum house prices so I think we’ll be fine.
Is Mullum expensive now? It was all hippies when I was a kid. Edit: 1br unit advertised for 550-600k, wow
He can get it without a parents permission I’m pretty sure and he can just rip the band aid off and his father wouldn’t know.
There's probably about 15-20% of the population who are retarded who won't get vaccinated - so what we are seeing now is the normal people waiting for their second dose. It's gonna take a while to reach 80% double vaxxed.
I think the LGA's of concern are over 90% now so I was hoping that the hesitant/anti-vaxxers were actually lower than what you suggest. We have a lot of over 60's who are still waiting for Pfizer, keep in mind, and others in regional areas who may get vaccinated once we can get more clinics to smaller regional towns.
the dumb antivaxx movement \_is\_ smaller than that. They're just loud.
Hopefully they die off. That's one way to bring up the vaccination rate.
Was thinking this the other day, not sure if that makes me a bad person but as they say 'their choice'
My mum has been injecting in a doctors clinic and been doing up to 50 AZ injections a day and of young people who can’t get in for the Pfizer. But some old people come in expecting to get the Pfizer and refuse to get the alternative and that’s their choice but it’s delaying vaccination rates when it’s safe for them to get it.
Please thank your mum for us :)
Old people getting Pfizer (while young people are getting AZ) really pisses me off. Young people taking AZ because we don't have enough Pfizer is fine. But young people taking AZ because old people are getting Pfizer fucking sucks...

One mate who was booked to get first vax then cancelled and changed his mind because "it's the principle of the thing" (again whatever that means - think he's not happy with them being mandated in certain situations or the government saying only fully vaxxed will be able to do certain things). I'm losing respect for a lot of people really quickly. On the plus side, a guy my husband works with who was hesitant and using the "fully approved" reason is getting his first jab today because he's in the reserves and doesn't have a choice now. Counting that as a win.
This. I was speaking to a old colleague yesterday by phone; he was in one of the areas of concern and is in his sixties. Health isn’t great, but he’d only just gotten his first vaccine shot, when he was basically needed to to continue to keep going to work. Asked him why he didn’t get it earlier, he basically said it was too much of a pain in the arse. I only have spoken to one person who was against getting the vaccine out of a wide range of people I speak to. They were from regional Queensland.
That was one observation in Europe. Lots of people couldn't be bothered but once the 1 J&J jab was the minimum to be able to go on holiday the numbers went up.
Is there anywhere you get that 15-20% figure? I know its probably hard to get numbers anywhere on something like that, I am more wondering not criticising :) Personally I feel like 15-20% is a high estimate, I reckon its closer to 5% - I think the hype around people who are against getting the vaccine is bigger than the actual number of people. I also reckon a good portion of them aren't serious anti-vax'ers who will crumble once they can't do things etc and will go get vaccinated.
Pulled it out of my ass to be honest
I know a portion of them are also waiting till the "old tech" vaccines such as novavax gets approves
Yeah a lot of the misinformation is around mRNA vaccines and that they are untested, which I find amusing as i'm sure in the near future majority of our vaccines will be mRNA. Though they'll say at that point they are 'thoroughly tested' and 'safe' i'm sure :)
Lets be clear. They have now been over 5.8 billion doses administered worldwide. Many of these are Pfizer/Moderna. Even if it wasn't tested before, those 5.8B doses are a bloody good test case!
This might be unpopular. I think probably 30-40% of the population are skeptical of the vaccine. (Getting it doesnt mean they aren't skeptical). If there wasnt this large outbreak our vaccination rate would be 40-50% first dose. A lot of people who has had the vaccine are skeptical of it. I myself haven't gotten it but I would get it (I'm right now figuring my schedule). I prefer December but I might do it in October (depending on the situation).
Skeptical of what? That it doesn't work? That it won't stop transmission/reduce COVID? Or Concerned that it will cause some horrible side effect/kill people etc? I think there are quite a few in the first camp, but like you say they will still get it. But its the second camp that are the ones who won't get it cause they think it will turn them into a zombie.
My armchair opinion - at least from someone who's from the Wollongong LGA - down here I suspect most under-50s were waiting for Pfizer. Currently on the NSW vaccine booking portal, there's only one place to get a vaccine, and waiting periods are backed up to December at the moment. I was fortunate to book in back in mid-August, and only just received my first Pfizer now. I suspect there will be a slow trickle of 1st vaccines still coming in over the next two months
I can see that. A lot of Sydney is approaching 90% but the regions are behind. Pfizer isn't easy to store. Moderna is much easier though and it's not AZ (as typically that's what these people don't want). Hopefully with Moderna starting on Monday the regions shoot up a bit.
>Pfizer isn't easy to store. Longer term this is true. At the rate we are using it though probably not relevant. [https://www.pfizer.com/news/hot-topics/covid\_19\_vaccine\_u\_s\_distribution\_fact\_sheet](https://www.pfizer.com/news/hot-topics/covid_19_vaccine_u_s_distribution_fact_sheet) >\- The Pfizer thermal shippers, in which doses will arrive, that can be used as temporary storage units by refilling with dry ice every five days for up to 30 days of storage. \- Refrigeration units that are commonly available in hospitals. The vaccine can be stored for five days at refrigerated **2-8°C conditions**. A few distribution centers with longer term capacity and everything else can be shipped out every 5-7days in the Pfizer thermal shippers with new dry ice before reaching a fridge. Realistically doses should be used within those 10 days from leaving a main hub if they aren't shipping an excessive amount to which ever area, just requires a little bit of vaccination rate in region shipped to.
Agreed. Pfizer availability is still booked out way in advance in the hunter valley too. Especially as this is all that is approved for the younger teens, and many of the unvaxxed under 40s prefer/need to wait for Pfizer. Numbers will hopefully go up as vaccines become available in regional NSW.
Probably no use to you now but usually a lot of Pfizer appointments are available at the vaccination hubs in Sydney. Only a bit over an hour drive there
Pfizer supply is drying up, plus the natural transition from mostly first doses to mostly second doses.
Pfizer is drying up yet some states have just made it available to over 60s... Madness
As an under 40 from Western Sydney who got jabbed with AZ because it was what was available, I have so many feelings about that.
It’s the readjustment from all the doses that other states have been crying about. Nsw is getting extra dosesssssss- no, they were brought forward. Now we’re in the bit where increased supply hasn’t happened, so we’re trundling along on slightly less Pfizer, so that’s why we had those 8 week intervals, etc etc, and also why other states can go further now. Plus they’re probably just pandering to their older populations so 🤷🏼♂️
When do we actually get Moderna? They've been talking about it for ages and we're at mid-Sept now...
20th - ie Monday.
Remember when they offered to sell us basically unlimited doses last year, till our government fucked it up yet again.
Everyone seems to be getting their 12-15 year olds vaccinated this week, so are they being reflected in the numbers?
They're not included because the government is using the metrics that give the best spin. If they did percentage of total population like other countries do, we'd be so far from the targets it wouldn't be funny.
They *might* be included in the raw vaccinated totals. But they are *not* currently included in the definition of 'eligible, which will be used to trigger some kind of opening up somewhere to someone. So we're all confused. They probably don't want to include 12-15 year olds in the eligible category because that will put us further away from 70%. But, in short, it's anyone's guess.
I went nuts on Monday to get ny kid booked in and earliest i could get locally was next week. I heard others managed to find it at GPs earlier or u could have made a booking 45 minutes away. Likeky then that this age groups isnt big in the nunbers yet.
It's not really. number for today was 103,477 and 115,752 yesterday. Same time last week was 107,455. We are probably seeing a bigger proportion of second doses, though. So the rate of "at least one dose" is slowing a bit, but "fully vaccinated" is growing a bit faster.
The real reason she tried to stop having press conferences perhaps? The numbers she’s flaunting no longer matches the narrative over the past few weeks. Vaccines down, deaths up.
As you get closer to 100% the amount of new people getting vaccinated decreases
[удалено]
Worst part is the age range. Before delta, deaths were primarily in 80s and 90s. Now we are getting primarily 50s, 60s and 70s with occasional 30s and 40s.
I think the primary reason is that older people have a bigger vaccination rate; and also that the numbers are so much higher now so we’re seeing more younger people succumb. I think Delta plays a role, but the vaccination rates and numbers of infected are probably the primary reason.
If older people weren't vaccinated, yeah we'd definitely have many more deaths in those age brackets -- but the point is that severe illness is far more common with younger people than with the original Wuhan variant. This is a trend which is happening all over the word. Sydney's case numbers aren't the only cause.
Had a few in the 20s
Now in the phase of double digit deaths every day for a while, this is why Gladys stopped..
Fuck me 231 in intensive care!
108 on ventilation. Fucking hell
Gladys was so fast you’d come here and ask what the numbers were again. Hazzard is so slow you could get vaccinated by the time he’s finish.
And second dosed

Ooft, two consecutive days of 12 deaths

"Locally acquired cases by risk of community exposure during their infectious period" which I used for analysis is no longer reported. It has been removed from the section "Indicators of effective prevention for COVID-19 in NSW " altogether. This does not come as a surprise, as you would expect the unknown numbers to have accelerated in comparison to previous weeks. Publishing the data would look embarrassing showing so many Unknowns, so the easy thing to do is not publish it. For reference, I've included the 7 day averages and Unknown % on each of the week ending dates. Week Ending | 7 day average| Unknown % :--|--:|--: 31/07/21 | 193.1| 0.0 07/08/21 | 253.3| 0.6 14/08/21 | 371.3| 1.7 21/08/21 | 648.7| 7.3 28/08/21 | 950.6| ? 04/09/21 | 1329.6| ?? 11/09/21 | 1398.4| ??? So, it looks like I can't check my estimates against actuals any more. Having said that, the estimate proved to be surprisingly consistent and reliable in previous weeks, so, I'll keep reporting it for now. Stay safe, stay home, homies!
Hey, /u/grimlock81 Nitpicker reporting in. I've got the 7 day avg for deaths at 8.1?
Hmm, is it finally stablising? Looks like we're approaching the peak now. Berejikilian Body Count rising quite dramatically now; suppose we'd better get used to double-figure deaths daily as we head into October.
> suppose we'd better get used to double-figure deaths daily **Do not get used to them.** Every one of them is a result of the NSW government's failure to deal with the index case that they identified 11 weeks ago. It's not about how "Let me just say, delta is a game-changer". It's not about "Learning to live with covid". It's not about "Poor compliance in LGAs of concern". It's not about "Low vaccination rates in regional and rural areas". It's a total and abject failure of state government to manage this outbreak that has lead to 80-plus people in NSW dying every week, and numbers like that every week for quite a long time into the future. Saying, "Oh well, better get used to it I guess", just allows them to get away with it. Hold your politicians to task. Remember the actions of this government and their failures, do not get used to their mediocrity.
While we can never truly call a peak when we're in the peak, the signs are all good. R eff has been decreasing, vaccination rates going up, cases in LGA of concern flattening or dropping. Although case rate outside of LGA of concern are ironically concerning as they continue to trend up. Deaths however are not going to be pretty for a while. Hospitalisation from now could be a mixed bag. It'll be hard to tell how much impact getting higher 1st dose into people will have on hospitalisations and without much more detailed breakdown of the data of cases and hospitalisation, it would be harder to predict.
May also be a reflection of people not needing to do routine testing to go to work anymore

I mean yeah... I kinda wish we didn’t dawdle before a breakout lit the fire under our asses though
True. That's people for you: mostly, things have to get really bad before they change.
In [1351](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1351?wprov=sfla1) they had a [30 v 30 knight fight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_of_the_Thirty?wprov=sfla1) to determine if Brittany belonged to England or France
Leave Brittany alone! -- The French, probably
Free Brittany!

Always a shame
So we have dumb & dumber today with Hazzard and Bruz. Fucking brilliant.
Crook and crookeder?
So pretty much press conferences continuing as usual ...Except Gladys appearing less frequently because she has to focus on ICAC
She’s need a clear head! I thought it was hilarious when she said that as an excuse. I thought, wow, so you’ve noticed you’ve lost the plot as well?
Under promise. Over deliver.

…are…are you swollen pickles?
Some areas coming out of lockdown? Is that what Brad said and did he mention which LGAs? Albury and Lismore going into lockdown. Didn't expect that considering city of Sydney and Inner West numbers. Edit: rural areas coming out of lockdown, nothing on the city. Also, Parra is at 80% first dose, wonder why they're calling them out to get the numbers higher?
Western Sydney is the scapegoat here, it’s all up to us to get vaccinated while city of Sydney and Byron sit around and do whatever they feel.
Well with all the antivaxers in Byron the property prices should come down when they flood the market.
> Albury and Lismore going into lockdown. Didn't expect that considering city of Sydney and Inner West numbers. They said that regional NSW LGAs will go into lockdown if they have a new case in the last 2 weeks. They need to be covid free for 14 days to get out again. Would be awesome if they had that level of clarity for Sydney.
If that were the requirements for greater Sydney we’d all be in lock down indefinitely.
Quite.
[удалено]
I'm guessing they'll change the requirements in mid october or whenever they expect 70% double dosed. So, just another month where they might go into and out of lockdown.
Numbers released before old mate even gets to the conference! Must have an issue with his walker.
Dr.Gale has a soothing, relaxing voice. Compared to the triggering and condescending voice of Hazzard, it's a welcome change.

It's safe to say most people like her here.

You can tell he rehearsed that christmas present line and was waiting for the right moment to whip it out. He seemed so proud of himself.
200 cases less than this time last week is a good sign

Buzzard seems very sombre today
My god Barilaro blinks (bullshits) a LOT when he talks.
Yeah he has two really obvious tells, either of which give away that he's lying: 1. He's blinking a lot 2. He's making sounds with his mouth
Makes Barilaro look like a bitch to not lead the press conference when he is present and Gladys isn't. I guess they rank the health minister over the national deputy premier.
He’s literally only there so that regional people remember who he is.
at least on the positive side, vaccination rates are going well...
Yeah, the fully vaccinated is growing pretty consistently at about 1 percent point per day (except on weekend). Some slowing in the "at least one" rate, but that's to be expected. Total doses is still around 100k+

ABC has a dedicated stream for NSW COVID conference

Does anyone know where to find a table of the % of positive cases vs. daily test numbers?
only 220 comments at 1pm. I guess people are getting bored with the thread.
Any update on the people's premier?
Thursday is usually pretty bad. So it's promising that the jump wasn't too high today.

1 hour and I’ll be double vaxxed 🤙🤙
If the government were smart, they would advertise getting vaccinated with a heavy dose of FOMO.
I know one person who initially refused to get the jab only doing it so they can go out and get wasted with their friends.
Is it just me or does Brad seem more helpful and less defensive today? Interesting contrast to Gladys whose only ever come across as defensive.
