None of this info should be classified. It should all be public knowledge. Is this a public health crisis in a democracy or not?

The facade is already looking desperate… because he knows deep down that the inequity of his own making - his core world view - is coming back to bite.

I like your quotes in your signature. We live in a world increasingly tired of the BS.

Its not you who is hiding the sources… it should all be public knowledge. Sources shouldn’t need to be protected when it comes to public health.

And neither should political profiles / careers be protected.

Given that vaccinated people will still catch Covid and pass it on but hopefully will have minimal dangerous symptoms I think the end game is to make actual infection numbers irrelevant and the crucial statistic will be hospitalisations and I guess deaths. With very high level of vaccinations, most infections will be relatively mild and as a medical statistic will be less important than what they are now. The important ones will be how many people end up in hospital - as a % of infections should be quite low. At the moment hospitalisations in NSW sits somewhere around 800-850 and does not seem to be tracking the the exponential infection rate - maybe a good thing.

The "magic 70 per cent and 80 per cent" is looking less magic everyday and more like the vague diversion it always was. …When are we going to see some public health honesty? No other state is going to open to NSW unless 80%+ vaccine equity across all ages is real in every LGA. Christmas is just another romantic spin tactic. For the record, I don’t think Santa is sucked in either.

A democracy is all about telling the great unwashed only what they need to know and nothing more - that’s the way it’s always been and will always be. Not sure why you’re so surprised about this?

There’s a great documentary series from the 80’s on how it all works - ‘Yes Minister’… [emoji38]
