It is very good news. 4 were in the community whilst infectious. Hopefully they're on top of it.

Yes but I think that figure not in isolation will need to be zero before the lockdown is released. Hopefully that will happen by early next week but the Prahran market exposure site has to be a concern.
Doesnt help either that many in Syd (people) just dont listen or follow instruction and are complacent. Many flaunting the rules.
The way she has dealt with these press conferences has been really poor.
At the start of the week she was challenged on what the restrictions were achieving, journos referenced some epidemiologists modelling showing they would be locked down into September and she mocked modelling. Today she says that their restrictions clearly aren't achieving what they should.
It's now bad for the entire country. If it gets out of control in NSW it's going to be very hard to stop it going everywhere.
53 in the community the entire time, 17 for part of the time. More than half their new cases have not been in isolation for their infectious period. This % seems to be increasing, not decreasing.
They are pretty much saying today that they cannot control it, they need to take vaccines from other states in order to control it, as they don't have the ability to control it through lockdown. Poor Gladys, very poor.
Once the numbers go up like this contact tracing has little chance no matter how good it is. Just imagine the number of primary and secondary contacts and then extrapolate out adding in those who caught it off the initial contact. You can chase your tail for so long but the number of cases makes this close to impossible.
Let's hope the increased restrictions start to make a difference soon.

Gladys still not locking the city up!
AstraZeneca being pushed as the solution.
I'm due to get my 2nd AZ jab in 2 weeks. 3 months after the first but I guess it's not a race.
This strategy will make many Australians exposed to this dangerous virus.

They are still talking about this as being a SW Sydney issue (and indicating that they might look at localised opening up - let me guess, Northern Beaches 1st?). They haven't stated how many of the 136 cases were in those LGA's, yesterday it was less than half.
Geez, if they do that they really do have rocks in their heads.
Firstly, the numbers are such that you would have to think there are plenty of cases which are asymptomatic and unknown and not in the SW of Sydney. In any case, people do move around for essential work, it takes very few people to spread this.
Secondly, if you really want to give a message to the communities in SW Sydney that they are less valued than the rich folk in the Northern Beaches, then treat them worse than everyone else. Terrible way to divide the community.
