All borders to reopen.
Tuned out as soon as Scotty's lips started moving.
The proclivities of the NSW Health Minister and Chief Health Officer are neither here nor there, and are their business.
The fact is that an ICU won't know why someone who's lobbed into its lap and, in any event, won't be able to ask if the patient can't talk. It has ever been thus, and Covid 19 doesn't change it.
Fortunately the Health Minister and Chief Health Officer aren’t as sadistic as some of the posters here and are welcoming people to hospitals if they need healthcare irrespective of how they caught the virus or their vaccination status.

The point you seem seem to miss.. your ‘ runny nose ‘ could kill the person you pass it on to. What part of that don’t you understand ??

The current 50% cut is unsustainable and is lower than ANY POINT in the last 18 months.
Let’s hope this actually happens. This is the only thing that will make the system “fair”.
Meanwhile, another study on blood clots from Pfizer versus AstraZeneca shows they both have the same rate. However, people getting Pfizer were on average older and had more underlying conditions so who knows…,I hope we don’t get a GREAT BIG SCARE CAMPAIGN against Pfizer now like we have had against AstraZeneca.

Well they’ve really made a rod for their own backs there. 70%? 80%?
The likelihood of achieving either of those figures seems pretty low given the complacency demonstrated so far. Let’s face it, Aussies are living in a cotton-wooled society now. Why take responsibility for yourself when you can do whatever you like without consequences?
Will be interesting to see how they back away from those targets when it becomes apparent they’re not happening. Fatal leadership error. March-April 2022 and the rate still sitting at less than 60% likely should make it an interesting election lead-up.
PS. I’m not disputing that these are the figures we need to get to but can’t see it happening- ever.

Did anyone else notice something odd about that QLD press conference?
Gladys, Dan whenever they have their ms they always push for ppl to get vaccinated. I don’t think any of those QLD clams even mentioned go get vaccinated.

wierd links about 10 seconds early
I heard that the WA premier has already rejected the PMs plan and isn’t buying into the lockdown plan possibly more. Wonderful, when is the bloody politics going to stop. Rhetorical question there.

McGowan will never admit it but truth is he doesn’t give a toss about the rest of Australia and nor do MOST of his voters.
WA is living the high life economically and it’s citizens have had a level of freedom unparalleled through all of this.
McGowan and his troops are in no rush to change anything. An uncontrollable outbreak is the only thing that will change their opinions/actions.

He provided the number and is immediately slammed.
Some people need to grow up.

Some will need motivating to get the jab, but that’s pretty easily done with a few “vaccinated people can do XYZ….”
For once I think we’re reasonably
on track and we will be sitting pretty well come end of the year / early new year.

That was a vaccination level of 80% of all residents - not just for adults.
Let's see how we go with that by Xmas.
