Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[Carrots]

More evidence of SA being stuffed. People waiting hours (13 hours in many cases) for testing as directed and SAPol have been warning people who have used their mobile phones in the Queue.

Seems fairly relaxed in attitude unlike past hysterics.

I'd love to know what portion of people being tested are over zealous reactions etc.

For using mobile phones in essentially a stationary car???

To be fair, the Lockdown isn't good for ticket revenue so they have to boost their stats somehow!

On NSW request for a refocus to help NSW numbers - No state wants to give up vaccines yet - SA already a 'not wanting to' but looking forward to a 'robust' discussion

Qld QF flight attendant had symptoms 8 days before getting tested.

Operated 6 flights.

Has Delta variant genomically sequenced to NSW cluster.

(If this is true) Words have not been invented that describe my anger about such people… not only have a test early .. but someone whose job involves movement all over the country on a plane… words fail me.. I give up .. caveat again (if it’s correct) … where is the employee messaging in all this?

This clip aged like a fine blue cheese, but Gladys gives her thoughts on Vic pinching any of NSW's Pfizer supply...and also how easy lockdowns are...

Unsurprising. Also a strange choice of words. They're all Commonwealth vaccines last I checked (thankfully).

Seems we've found a whole new way to fight state against state.

Police Commissioner has addressed the question and said no issues in a car if stationary but people are using them whilst moving even if slowly and he doesn’t want to see and incidents that would further slow down line ups. I agree with him to a point, no different to them not wearing a seatbelt whilst moving

 

[jakeseven7]

Gladys just confirmed they gave formally requested:

- Clearer communication on AZ to drive as much use as possible
- Revised health guidelines on AZ
- NSW considering going beyond guidelines on AZ to use up the vaccine!

Wow wow wow. Finally NSW have gone hard.

Dan Andrews more diplomatically suggested ATAGI should be reviewing the risk factors…

Unqualified and dishonest: the ‘experts’ who undermined confidence in AstraZeneca will cost Australians’ lives

A section of the medical and scientific commentariat has peddled extreme risk aversion to Australia’s detriment. The most egregious examples have amounted to anti-AstraZenecism. It’s not academic freedom. It’s academic dishonesty - and it will cost lives.

So in that, very dismissive of other states lockdown measures, and not willing to redistribute vaccines.

Be interesting to hear from those who have been warned as to circumstances. He hadn’t heard anything and so just presuming that this was the case. In normal circumstances the fine can be given of the keys are in the slot so ?

Yes, I know, but such specialists do not all speak with one voice. Just one opinion.

Not new news to anyone, but a view from across the ditch - reporting courtesy of ABC

NZ health authorities said eight weeks was their estimate for how long it would take for NSW to contain the situation to a more manageable level, but they also noted they'd be reviewing their guidance daily.

 

[HappyFlyerFamily]

Time for NSW to consider distribution of free rapid tests to every Greater Sydney household - might not be more accurate, but some detection is better than none. The main detraction from this idea is that people might do less official PCR testing

Indeed, however the problem being that one group of "experts" is actually opinion presented as fact.
