All borders to reopen.
Case numbers should not be the focus. About time these f&$kwits stopped with daily press conferences. They are drunk on the power and control. It’s hospitalisations etc that matter.
that said, at least it seems to be scaring the ‘hesitant’ into getting jabbed.

Cairns has year round UV and a population that generally does the right thing. Whatever the perceptions of the FNQ population they wear masks when told to, scan in to places and stay home if they are sick.
It’s not the rules that are at issue in NSW, it’s the willingness of the the population to comply. Victoria leaned the hard way last year that you may think you’re the epicentre of the known world, but you still have to follow the rules. NSW are still learning…

NSW problem is that with the greatest population comes the greatest number of them in that 17%.demographics will also play a role.
Someone mentioned 1st world medical response. If the case numbers rise to anywhere near 100 per day requiring ICU care, don't expect much more than sitting on a plastic chair strapped to an oxygen bottle.
Case rates can't be ignored until we reach a decent level of vaccination
It’s hospitalisations etc that matter.
Deaths are the same, some don't pass away for several weeks after contracting the virus. So death rate today is roughly for case numbers 1-2 weeks ago, as are hospitalisations, and case numbers are for people infected up to 2 weeks before.
This is not some computer game where you have real time data, everything has already happened and will happen, the government is playing catch-up with the numbers. This was always why contact tracing within the community was going to fail in the long run. Prevention requires breaking the numbers before they occur, not chasing your tail for where it has been.

NSW is gone for months. There is no hope of getting in under control in the short term. Gold standard.

What purpose is there in a press conference everyday announcing case numbers? We will never get back to zero - forget it. So what the point of announcing case numbers?
Present the plan on the way out and how and when kids are going to get back to school. Probably only need one press conference a week.
oh that’s right it’s called Covid theatre.

For those in the front line, essential services, do need that information in order to plan response needs and requirements. If it was only a need to know basis then the public would complain about that and draw all sorts of conclusions.
Conversely, how will the other States learn to live with COVID with elections in 2022? Elimination strategies can not last forever. Many Premiers keep using military jargon, the battle with COVID, we are on a war footing to eliminate blah blah blah. Well it's actually time some of us died for our country so we don't bankrupt our children' futures. A PLA naval task force couldn't do the economic damage misguided COVID policy has achieved. Enough is enough.

I've struggled to follow the meanings of your posts. Some of our States have an economically unsustainable, though political acceptable, policy of Elimination. Yours has always been a policy of Fear.
Australia has the means to come out of this pandemic yet many seem to lack the will. It's too cosy for many not affected.
43Inches - what a lot of bollocks.
The USA owes its death rate to ignoring the virus under trump. Since the vaccinations came online and Biden, the US are way ahead wrt to vaccination rates. The US is fully open. You DO NOT need a vaccination passport or even to be vaccinated to enter the US.
Studies are showing that Delta is infecting even vaccinated people. Lockdowns will not stop the infections. Excess deaths are the only metric that governments should be reporting. Gladys talking about people in there 90s dying of Covid is pointless. She even reported of a person in his 90s dying - Fully Vaccinated. Today she announced some poor person dying from Covid - oh but he was in palliative care .....
The Australian public is fed fear. End these bloody lockdowns. THE VIRUS IS HERE and we need to live with it. if you are scared of catching it, don't mix with the public.

If you're parked at home, locked down, not in the effected zone, then there probably isn't a need to know and it would get understandably tedious.

And … there goes all of NSW into lockdown for at least a week. Gladys had just been quoted as saying… All of Australia is now under threat.
Gold Standard.

Statewide shutdown from 5pm.
I don't follow your economic modelling. However, I did not say let it rip. I believe the politics of COVID elimination will be devastating by next year. Eventually some of us will have to die. Hopefully, vaccinations protect most. But this path is not sustainable, not for the economy, not for social cohesion, not for dealing with emerging security threats.

I may have said this before but it needs saying again
The world will NEVER EVER be what it was pre Covid.
If you can't accept that then I am sorry for you.

Then come back and have this conversation, we'll see if you still follow the same line of learn to live with it, no matter what.
