I’m not looking forward to the omega strain.

You forgot the Warwick Capper strain.

Whereas John Lennon gets an airport and Polly Farmer a major road.....fame is such a capricious cow, eh Wazza??

27 new cases overnight from 45,000 tests. Lockdown extended by another week.

unless you can't travel more than 5 km from home, it's not really a lockdown. stoopid Sydney!

Fair call, Nath.

We are at 10km from 5pm today. Is that a half lockdown?

Sounds like it. The difference though between Gladys and Dan and James is that her directives have always seem more like how Italians treat the red traffic light, it's just a suggestion, not a mandating of rules.

half-arsed lockdown?

And we are paying the price, Nath.

First death in ages today.

77 cases is too many and Gladys left it a week too late for her Clayton's lockdown. She is culpable.

To be fair, 50 odd are close contacts in the same household.

UK is removing restrictions completely on 19 July and they are currently running at over 20,000 new cases per day.

Madness.

LOL.

Nein Nooz has just shown that Gladys introduced lockdown when there were 82 active cases, while Victoria waited until there were 860 active cases in your last wave before shutting the joint down.

Seems culpability is all around us.

Pesky facts.

The eternal mass-debate about whether monkey crap stinks worse than camel crap....

dubbers and vomits are both definitely made of crap ...debate is about what variety

Wozzies, such bitter isolationists.

Yep, DBSP Staters....why don't they just bloody well secede and have done with it

89 new cases today. Early days but let's hope it's a plateau.

I hope for everybody's sake that you don't get to collect enough data to test this for yourself, but we found last year when things were really haywire that Monday was always a bad day - people tested on a day there was plenty of sport and other stuff on the idiot box to isolate with, and hoped they got the all-clear early enough the next day to go to work. The really important bit of maths is the ratio of tests to bad results.

they drip feed the results anyway, to make the numbers look rosier by Wednesday

What’s that conspiracy about drip feeding the results Nath? ‘They’ delay the release of some of the positive results from early in the week, so there are fewer to release later in the week , and things look rosier?

Strange idea.

Conspiracies are generally strange. And they are 'strange' without being remotely interesting.

all I know is we have non-medical people like "train guy" in high profile positions.

Farken LOL @ Chairman Dan.

Bitching and moaning about the supposed "better" deal NSW got from the Feds over the whinging Vomit Govt during lockdown.

Turns out NSW happily accepted exactly the same deal that Chairman Dan was offered by the Fed (50/50 split funding from Feds and State). Arsehole Andrews rejected ScoMo's offer outright.

Runs his State into bankruptcy (hence knocking back the 50% cost-sharing offered) and looks to blame anyone else that he can. What a total cucksocker.
