Forty-four children test positive to COVID-19 in a day in NSW
Health experts say the Delta variant is putting more young people at greater risk of contracting the virus and becoming seriously unwell.
I have a 13 year old son who has an underlying health condition and we have been a bit stressed about him for over a year now. Luckily he's getting his first dose of pfizer tomorrow. The government okayed the use for his age last week. We just had a telehealth with our local doc on Wenesday and they booked him in two days later. So I guess that's something that the government has done that works well. Just a bit late.

Good on you Loveshad baby. Responsible parenting and actions there. Hope it goes well for your young fella and that he’s well protected.

So no I-phones, no kids interpreting basically ignorant to what’s been happening the last 18 months. That’s a fairly long bow IMO.

Looks like the Invermectin debate flared up again, I'm still waiting for a sensible answer as to why anyone would be touting a drug which has not shown any effectiveness against COVID and then starts spinning conspiracy theories which make Foucault's Pendulum look tame.
Anyway, interesting article in The Conversation about how most COVID deaths in the UK are now amongst the vaccinated, something to remember when the nutjobs come out after we are highly vaccinated and some people continue to get sick and a few die: https://theconversation.com/most-co...ated-heres-why-that-shouldnt-alarm-you-163671
Needless to say the mess in NSW is getting no better, Gulag Gladys seems to be incapable of taking the action necessary to actually get this under control.

Locked Down and Fed Up, Australians Find Their Own Ways to Speed Vaccinations (Published 2021)
A stubborn Delta outbreak has kicked a complacent country into gear, with community members working to fill gaps in the government’s sputtering vaccine rollout.
Yeah on face value that is a bit disappointing. Very little chance of lockdown ending on Thursday. This is all getting quite depressing.15 cases today, only 11 linked and only 8 in iso. Not looking great
i see what you did there
15 cases today, only 11 linked and only 8 in iso. Not looking great
bit of a mixed bag today. But I have learnt not to get stressed about it until they elaborate on the cases at the daily presser. For all we know, they all might have been in the community for a short period (ie. 1-2 days) and the unlinked cases might all be from the same family.
the biggest worry is the number of exposure sites. Over 400 now. but in a weird way its also a positive as 400 exposure sites listed in about 9 days tells us how good the contact tracing is.
we have 6 days to reach 100% of cases in Iso during infectious period. Very achievable
Olympian quarantine: A cruel decision by a Covidiot state
Not even the hermit kingdom of Western Australia has placed such onerous demands on athletes returning from Tokyo.
Maybe. But with the amount of *smile* getting around out there I have little faith.
Plus we are still bringing in 8 planes a day from Sydney. And according to Weimar not all (most but not all) have to quarantine for 14 days. Why the *smile* we are still allowing flights from Sydney beggars belief. There have been 6000 people arrive from Sydney since it has been declared an extreme red zone. There was an article yesterday that stated a woman from Sydney tried to get an exemption to come to Melbourne to care for her cancer stricken daughter; her application was rejected. So if someone like that can't get in who the hell is coming here. What compelling case did these other 6000 people have??
Clusterfuck.
So far no transmissions from the alledged Qanon antivax serbian nutjob who did a week with NO precautions while infected at massage parlours and restaurants in and around byron?
doesnt make much sense.
the looneys are gonna have a field day, and unfortunately if one is being objective, theyre entitled too

yeah crazy people go to the official government websites for accurate info, they should go straight to google translate, or their kids.
maybe the massage parlours were all outdoors?
as always it appears luck plays a bit part in who spreads it and who doesnt. all states have had examples of people being in the community whilst they should be infectious but no infecting anyone, while other cases have spread to people with very minimal contact.
that luck has played a big part in how some outbreaks have been quickly contained, while others have taken longer lockdown periods.
Widespread western NSW lockdowns after COVID-positive man bailed from Bathurst prison
Eight communities in western NSW with large Indigenous populations are now under a snap, seven-day lockdown after a Walgett man tested positive yesterday afternoon.
www.abc.net.au
this is why states should lockdown outside the areas that already have cases when there are 1000s of infected people in a city.
it is a bit late to express fear and push for vaccinations now.
