Don't these people realise this is above politics. We have a situation where a large part of our Nation is stagnant, going no where, people are hurting, jobs are being lost, and it seems it is because a couple of people refuse to admit that they could be wrong. There must be more to it than that. Has to be more to it than that.
If this happened in some other countries people would be marching in the streets in protest. I'm glad they are not. OR, is it the case that they are afraid to come down harder because the people of SW Sydney may just take to the streets?Quote:

Misrepresentative content
Unreliable and harmful claims
We do not allow content that:
- makes claims that are demonstrably false and could significantly undermine participation or trust in an electoral or democratic process. Examples: information about public voting procedures, political candidate eligibility based on age or birthplace, election results, or census participation that contradicts official government records
- promotes harmful health claims, or relates to a current, major health crisis and contradicts authoritative scientific consensus.
Examples: Anti-vaccine advocacy, denial of the existence of medical conditions such as AIDS or Covid-19, gay conversion therapy
this what will happen from here on in sadly due to the 3 strikes system now being employed by the likes of google and yahoo
sad but true
if you are going to post it on this site please take the time to check it is credible
thank you

So, to all the (mostly interstate ) commentators what would you do? A hint here - magically swapping the government just puts another bunch of numpties in charge who would do exactly the same things to control the outbreak.
Its pretty easy to throw rocks at the NSW govt but I haven't seen any suggestions that might work.
It's interesting to compare the Victorian "success" of the short sharp lockdown that's still going a couple of weeks later with 20 cases a day. How long until that is 50 - 100 - 300 cases a day?
The NSW govt is pursuing the only way that is viable to resolve the situation - vaccinating as many people as possible and waiting until those numbers reach a level that suppresses hospitalisations is probably the only way way out. It's worth mentioning that the case numbers are a very long way from "out of control" which would be represented by an exponential rate of infection growth. By the way on the 5th of August last year Victoria had 725 cases......
It's not going to be a quick and easy way out, maybe we can get enough people vaccinated so that NSW can operate in the same way that the US and the UK do today, it will be interesting to see how the other states go with that concept, my bet is that state borders will be closed longer than international borders at this rate.

Short sharp hard lockdown. Thats what they did here, and the people actually respected the lockdown. Nipped it in the bud.Quote:
