Right .... which is why 1,252 people were vaccinated at Al-Taqwa College yesterday:

A pop-up vaccination centre at Al-Taqwa College has concluded operations after administering 1,252 doses.

And then there's this:

People queuing for hours to be tested and vaccinated.



FYI, these people are my neighbours and the people my kids go to school with and play sport with.

Already had the operation for Dupuytrens, carpel tunnel, a breeze. I would gladly sit on a porch with Des and solve the problems of sesame street. The World can wait.

Well, more trouble in Western NSW.

Qld hasn't hesitated once to lock down quickly, nothing to do with any other jurisdiction. I seem to recall border closures were the focus of anger and despair back at the beginning, the end of the world, it seemed. The Qld Premier, along with the Victorian Premier [ but not as virulent as the attacks on Dan] were attacked from Canberra to Sydney and points in between. It's no wonder that now we see NSW struggling to get under control a virus that has mutated to a more dangerous variant, because of what appears to be arrogance and hubris [ it may not be , but it's the perceptiion] people are looking and saying " what did you expect, you fools ".

My wife and I have three grand children. The centre of our lives ATM. In the USA now, children are being hospitalised at the age of 5 ,5 ye​ars old, and if they don't get seriously sick, they can look forward to a life of long covid. I can't tell you the dark thoughts that have gone through my mind about what should happen to these ....[.there's no word for them that I can place here. ] self centred, idealogically driven , arrogant , all of the above, plus.

NSW are blaming the people of SW Sydney, it's all their fault, they would have us believe. No thought of the philosophy of low paid casual workers that had to go to work during a pandemic, [ think aged care workers , in the original outbreaks] no thought of a population largely ignored by government to the extent community leaders of each ethnic group had to make videos in language, so the covid message could get through. [ gee whiz they are not listening to us ] No thought to the fact large parts of the population have been traumatised in Syria, Iraq and places in between , so the fact they see soldiers on the street turns them to a type of panic, and they turn inwards , away from the government they see as no better than the one they ran away from. This use of the ADF, is disgraceful, IMO. Manning check points is a lot different to seeing the military and Police knocking on your door. Ask yourself, what is the reason for them being there , if not intimidation? Is that the way we do things in Australia now?

No Rick, Qld did not follow the example of the NSW government. No thinking government would.

Bob, I said the Qld saw straight up what didn't work in NSW and so did an instant lockdown.

A little projection, eh?
Your constant bagging of other states is obvious to everyone except you.

They ask some annoying questions to get Medicare linked, but persist and it eventually works.

You might enjoy this comedy skit, 'Meanwhile in Byron', about the lockdown.
They're panic buying healing crystals!


Meanwhile in Byron Bay ?? - YouTube

I see the bloke who brought Covid from Sydney to Byron is due to appear in Lismore court next month.
I know a magistrate who might hear that case and can't imagine him being impressed.
I'm sure he'll apply the law in a thorough but impartial way, as he's very experienced.
The problem may be the NSW regulations apparently allowed travel to inspect a property, so that's a loophole which might let this bloke get off lightly.
I'd predict a fine and some choice words from the bench about endangering lives and being socially responsible.

You would think that a judge would have a better sense of community responsibility. The reasoning behind the focus on looking at redrafting the restrictions on moving house in NSW is that wealthy Sydneysiders are relocating to a holiday house, isolating for 14 days after which they are free to move where they like or in this case go Skiing at Thredbo
