They’re just a smarter, more mature society than Australia is.
And don’t forget, they’re a police state - what the government says, goes. There is no free thought by the people. Normally that’s a **** way to live, but during a pandemic, it works!

What sort of leader shuts down a public transport system to prevent people protesting?

I am embarrassed to live in a country that thinks this is okay.

That's democracy, you know. Trampling on peoples right to peacefully protest the Government decision that makes their protesting "illegal"...

All from the State whose CHO declared that "Never again, would we get over 300 cases a day - not on my watch!" - and remember, this being the person who is making these Public Health Orders that restrict gatherings, funerals, weddings....

Who would have thought that in these modern times Australia, a once proud nation for equality would now be leaders in oppression, discrimination & abuse human rights all because of corrupt politicians with their un-elected stooges behind the scenes out of control about a flu virus that has a very high rate of recovery! Unbelievable!

Devastating if true as we’ll probability never get there. That’s not a roadmap but a dead end.

Might as well close down all tourism businesses now if that’s the case.
Heard on the radio retail will open up on 5th Nov that goes with interstate travel. That's according to the model still a bloody long way to go.

Home run folks.

Like him or hate him. Vic has a plan.

What’s the plan up north and out west? That’s right. Sweet F All.

Lets get NSW/VIC up and running together that brings back a huge amount of Domestic workers back into the fray.

That seems to be what is being suggested, interstate travel around the first week of November:

Victoria’s Roadmap: Summary of proposed restriction levels

There was a deleted post here seemingly talking about some new “90%” target, that seems to be a furphy, there’s no mention of it anywhere I can see.

Yeah, that was me sorry. Someone sent me a screenshot with some 90% details but I couldn’t (and can’t) verify it so I deleted it. As you said, looks like a furphy. Apologies.

Singapore is now running at about 1000 new cases a day with 900 currently in hospital of which 100 are serious and 18 in the ICU.

However 98% of cases have no or mild symptoms now that 82% of the population are vaccinated. Most of those seriously ill are unvaccinated and over 60 with underlying health conditions.

Home recovery is now the default for vaccinated people up to the age of 69 who test positive.

Case numbers have risen dramatically but serious cases have remained at a manageable level and the ICUs are at about 10% capacity with COVID patents.

For those under 60, fully vaccinated, without major health issues, the risk is very minimal.

Vic modelling on the roadmap shows peak of 4500 daily cases and 2200 deaths by January. Imagine delta with no vaccines.

Rubbish modelling, not "enveloped" by a comparable reality in say Malta, Denmark (etc), or even UK. Malta running at about 1 death p.w., Transpose to Vic pro-rata to population that is 10 p.w throw in fudge factor lets say 30. As a pro analyst/mathematician (incl COVID) such dumb projection (or mis-interpretation of a scenario by the media) sh**ts me to death. Several sets of modellers in Au have trouble exercising their theory beyond what a simple spreadsheet can manage, they can't handle time-varying vax rates and are basically modelling long-run steady state on the edge of in-control say 80% vax 18+.

There may be a few hundred deaths, a few dozen shockers but otherwise the people who pass were close to edge anyway. Vic roadmap is too slow and even over the past 4-5 days compliance has visibly slipped... Dan will have a severe crisis of authority before 23 Oct. That is a reality as important as the physics of disease transmission, and must be worked within.

Should be dropping outside masks immediately and permitting workplaces to be at or above 1/3 full if majority fully vaxxed.

Don't these so called experts get sick of being proven wrong?

We love our life here. Hope we can keep the pox out as long as possible. The Golden Girl seems happy to spread it all over Australia. And ScoMo.. who I used to vote for. Right now.. we no longer need a Federal Government ( ScoMo is the PM for NSW)…

So what’s the plan WA? Stay locked away forever, current border closure is already having drastic labor shortages over there. McGowen has not done a thing to improve WA health position which is a disaster on all fronts that’s just one of real reason for his hard stance, he wouldn’t want to be exposed. He is more than happy to ride the high of the ore boasting about saving Australia, all in all, all this is doing is deflecting Lord Daddy of the west failing as a Premier. NSW has a plan to move on, it will be without the West and QLD good luck enjoy a very long 2022 with short sharp lockdowns because you have to quach the virus when another truckie from NSW comes to deliver goods.

Hey SHVC. Don’t waste breath on SOPS and the ‘tin-foil hat’ nonsense he comes out with; he alluded to being a tin-foil hat wearer in the ME forums a couple of days ago. I think that also means ‘hiding under rocks’ and ‘being scared of life’…

Can’t believe the nonsense still coming out of Oz over EIGHTEEN months after this pandemic started!
