Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[jase05]

Putting even more limits on people already doing the right things, and who arent causing the spread is pointless.

It’s not pointless, it’s about the making the Cops job easier. It’s far easier for Police to pull over 10 cars out on the road after curfew than 100.
Roads should be almost deserted after curfew time and so police have a much better task of stopping and searching vehicles.

t’s really graphic and disturbing. I don’t think Albo will be calling it bland.

Its actually pretty similar to the anti-smoking ones, which Im not sure work terribly well.

IMO they need something more targetted at the communities who arent complying with restrictions. Maybe 20 somthing going to an illegal house party then coming home and infecting and killing their grandparents.

Gladys needs to stop thanking people. Time to get angry. More of Friday’s style of comms.

Maybe it’s time she invested in a North Face jacket.

You assume wrongly that people only do the wrong thing after curfew and that the only way people gather is via driving somewhere. This is very shortsighted.

Traffic is already pretty light with no where to go, cops dont need to stop every car, only those with obviously more than one person. Their time is better spent responding to noise compalints and tips off re the illegal gatherings.

It is quite a misogynistic to expect a women to use the same communications style as a man.

The full list of lockdown restrictions is here: Additional restrictions for NSW

It cleary calls out that hospitality (except takeaway/delivery), entertainment facilities and amusement centres, indoor recreation facilities, places of worship (except funeral), hairdressers, auction houses, markets (except food markets), caravan parks (except for certain residents), public swimming pools, Sex on premises services, Sex services premises, Strip clubs, Nightclubs and Casinos (except food and beverage) miust close. So adding a curfew to stop attendenace at closed places is redundant.

How do people view the updated restrictions? Stricter, clearer, nothing new? For those locked down, will it stop you doing you previous did (or modify it)?

PS Fixed the second paragraph for you, but you have previous expressed dismay against certain industries.

Five (4 positives + 1 spouse) who were fully vaccinated remain well, but the sixth woman in her 90s who was not vaccinated is now very unwell.

Certainly sad, but not unexpected. It doesn’t take much to knock down someone in their 90s who is already in a nursing home. Really unsure why they wouldn’t get vaccinated.

The death today, again sad, is also an odd one. Not 90 as some have said but in her 90s and only tested positive yesterday from a close family contact (so has probably only had the virus for a very short period of time). Very strange to be taken down so fast which would suggest there may have been another cause.

All the venues you added dont open late night so irrelevant to the call for a curfew, and werent the places people were saying were the reason for people being out at night.

None of those venues I listed or you added are new additions to the restrictions - all have been in play since the start of lockdown.

One barber in Liverpool opened in breach last week, he was arrested and it was all over the news.

What is your solution to the extended household gatherings which are accounting for most of the spread? These are happening in private residences not a community swimming pool or supermarket.

 

[Lynda2475]

Certainly sad, but not unexpected.

Agree. Some on here saying today's death will be a huge wake up call for many, but I dont think it will. The health outcomes for those in their 90s who are hospitalised for any illness are generally poor.

Yes of course not all, but some do. Hospitality (takeaway/delivery), Entertainment and amusement venues, indoor recreation facilities.....

(Edit: compare the unidentified major edit by the previous post almost an hour later. Two whole paragraphs just to be clearer "now". The original sentence could be read as "And none of those (that you added) are venues new additions to the restrictions...", so it could be implied at this point of the discussion that the 5 business types Lynda specifically mentioned are new additions - especially since its all in the same paragraph (being a paragraph about the things I added previously).

So as you will read later, I was wondering were certain things named by Lynda open.

Some are calling for a curfew for the psychological shock benefit of "this is serious", so why bother naming as Lynda has some night businesses and not other businesses to support her view of why a curfew is not required. As thread readers will find out later because she is "highlighting those most relevant to curfew" - in her opinion. Seems to show a "thing" against certain legal businesses but not naming all legal night businesses that were named in the updated restrictions. Edit over!)

@Lynda2475, before you go declaring what you think I know, perhaps tell us what you know: Which bit is bs: That may be what you meant to write or it isn't he para that I replied to, sorry. The second is demonstrably true by tracing the exchanges.

And, to be clear, no-where did I write that you said "do not go to a GP" - yet you even put it in quotes so you were portaying it as actual words used. Just checking back, they don't appear in anything I wrote in the relevant posts. So how come the quotes? Honestly, when you are accusing others of misrepresenting you, you might be a little more careful with your own accusations, please.

I've just caught up with the awful situation in Sydney. I fear a Victorian-like situation may be ahead of NSW for the next few months.

 

[Lynda2475]

but some do. Hospitality (takeaway/delivery), Entertainment and amusement venues, indoor recreation facilities.....

Since lockdown started Entertainment (Cinemas, Theratres, clubs) and amusement venues (timezone, casinos), indoor recreation facilities (gyms, pools) have not been allowed to open. If they are closed altogether, no one is going to them in the day or at night.

Yes some hospitality are doing takeaway and delivery - but this is no different than allowing supermarkets or bunnings to do click and collect. People picking up takeaway or having it delvered are doing so locally as delivery services have a distance limit.

I take huge offence at your comment. Compare Gladys on Friday to Sunday. Be more direct and stop pretending the situation is getting better.

Nothing to do with gender what so ever.

Oh and the casino has been closed - just checked

Effective from 10PM, 25 June 2021, The Star Sydney will follow the NSW Government’s latest COVID-19 restrictions and temporarily close its casino and restaurants. The Star Grand Residences will remain open only to existing guests and with limited facilities and will continue to operate in a Covid-19 safe manner.

It would be great if someone could find out if there was a nightclub and strip club that was open during the first two weeks of lockdown.

There are two casinos in Sydney now - Crown Sydney might still be offering delivery from its restaurants. It wasn't open for gaming yet.

Vic border closed from midnight

 

[Lynda2475]

Gladys has been consistent. it is inaccurate to claim she has pretended the situation is getting better, she has been very transparent re the numbers and what is driving them.

Of course it was, no one said otherwsie. Sydney LGA (which includes the Star) restrictions started on 25th, the announcement to then extend to the rest of the city was made on evening on 26th and came into play that weekend.

There are two casinos in Sydney now - Crown Sydney might still be offering delivery from its restaurants. It wasn't open for gaming yet.

Well Crown Sydney has no casino license due to all the corrupt dealings, so has never actually operated as a casino.

Both Star and Crown are still operating as hotels and therefore are allowed to do room service for guests, and offer take-away and delivery for locals from their restuarants.

Gladys is doing everything right, the usual NSW cheer leaders think everything is going fine.
Be prepared to be locked down for months at this rate

I see this at work (aka hospital) all the time so the general public should see it as well!

The Prime Minister can’t take the political hit. There will be some intervention to help sort out NSW.

It’s 5m out of 25m people and will derail the national economy. Victorias lockdown last year took off 2 percent of GDP.
