The fact he was taken to Liverpool Hospital is odd, I know that you can't choose which hospital to go to, the system does that, I know I tried once.
So did Bankstown have an issue beforehand and covered it up for I suppose political reasons, am just trying to reason in my head the logic of doing what they did!
Very strange eh.....this is not a criticism of your post but me looking at why it happened that way!

Cheers Billy.

Not at all mate. No criticism implied at my end. Just continuing the thread in line with the topic at hand.



I think the 2 positive cases were not connected with this chap? Or perhaps they were ??

Ok, found the other part of my post:

NSW records 136 new COVID-19 cases, one death; 130 staff and patients isolating after Sydney hospital cases

More than 100 staff and patients at a Sydney hospital have been sent into isolation after two student nurses tested positive to COVID-19.

NSW health authorities confirmed on Friday night that 130 staff and patients from Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital had been impacted.

The two cases are not linked, a South Western Sydney Local Health District spokesperson told 9News......

I tell you what... don't know if that mum is brave or stupid for being so close to her son's GF that is positive to Covid - not even wearing a mask??

Bankstown Hospital has frequent traffic issues, the access routes quickly become blocked - it may have simply been expedient to send someone elsewhere.

Trolley bay at an Aldi I frequent. There are no QR code sheets anywhere near the trolleys, you have to either enter the vestibule or stand immediately at the sliding doors - making it impossible to maintain the recommendation of 1,5m spacing from others.

I raised this with the staff - total lack of interest. Notwithstanding the fact that this entire store has already been shut down and deep cleaned three weeks ago when a staff member worked two full shifts while infectious. Irrespective of my own views on the situation I intend to keep following the spirit of the rules and it’s a bit grating when you’re effectively forced into a compromise.

YES!!! My Aldi has more QR codes at the checkout right above where the conveyor ends stating 'scan before entering'...

Also, what's the fascination with getting everything laminated or put in a plastic sleeve?? Several places have surrounding lighting just at the right angle so that you need to try multiple angles and several goes to get a scan because of the reflection.

I went to a kebab shop to grab lunch and the code paper was in a plastic sleeve with a single tack in the top centre. Gravity bowed the sleeve open and it was one of those rough textured translucent ones that did not allow the code to be read.

When I reached up to pull the paper out to scan the owner jumped up and assumed I was removing it for malicious intent. When I explained the situation he said I was the first person to try and scan since it was put up.

The recount in the clip implies that he was admitted then advised to go home so I don't think traffic was the main issue here.

I'm in a few FB / other Social Media groups and this is a hot topic.

There are a certain group of people specifically looking for confrontation and are going out of their way to not wear a mask in the hope someone says something.

Look away or leave.

You have no idea if he has an exemption, high on drugs, just broke up with his Mrs and letting off steam or just lost his job.

Remember my previous post on self preservation?

No looking positive. Hope they find a circuit breaker. And I hope for the rest of Australia they don’t give up.

My personal opinion is that our government has stuffed up big time and they now realise they have stuffed up but are happy to save face rather than concede defeat at the detriment of the population.

I know ScoMo apologised recently and that was great of him but Gladys has a lot to answer for and I'm wondering if she has security staff posted out the front of her residence 24/7 - probably.

Decisions made at the drop of a hat then re-jigged a few days later after the media out the blatant contradictions and deficiencies.

Too little, too late. Not enough vaccinations to go around, AZ good for over 50's, then bad, then good for most, then bad, then good only if you see a Dr, then.. well you get the drift.

No incentives for vaccination, creating an 'us and them' mentality both between our overlords and the population, then amongst the population itself.

I have friends over 40 that really, really want to get the vaccination and they must wait months. Even if supply greatly improved we don't have the staff to administer the jabs.

It's not like they didn't see this coming? We had several months to prepare for this yet the goal of a totally unobtainable zero covid cases was our priority to show the world that we had this covered better than most at the start and we will show the world we can finish the job in the same way.

Look how that has turned out.

It's a catch 22 situation. We are screwed if we stay home and do nothing but accept our fate, we go out and protest we are further screwed.

Make sure before you say anything or if you say anything that he has "ears" you need them to wear most masks!
Case in point Chopper Read, imagine approaching him and ask him why he's not wearing a mask?....he will say because I got no ears to hang it on!..

You accept that as viable and logical, then, go wash ya undies...

Chopper is dead, and Anthony is not like that.

But you wouldn’t want to confront this gym owner if he wasn’t wearing a mask. Watch the vid about 45 seconds in.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT July 24th 2021.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting.

171 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 2.796%.

No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.917%.

The UK had a lower 31,285 cases yesterday and higher 86 deaths for a CMR of 2.278%.

A lower 36,733 new cases in the USA yesterday and lower 149 deaths sees CMR at 1.781%. There was a revision in their overall totals of -137,262 cases after previously suspect cases in Puerto Rico were removed.

Other notable points: (weekend reporting)
Global cases pass 189M, the last 1M in 2 days;
North America had >100k cases for the first time since mid April;
South America passes 35M cases;

Laos (278);
Kazakhstan (6,521);
Vietnam (9,256); and
Malaysia (15,902)

... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Angola moves above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period and no countries drop below.

Task force set up apparently.

See what happens... would be thousands of hours of video to scour...

Did the Police do the same during last years BLM protest? Good luck to them. Everyone knows not to pay on-the-spot fines. Elect to go to Court. You'll likely get a mention sometime in 2024.......

This is what you got to expect when you have a mob mentality in protest marches. I am certain you will see more protests if governments in Australia insist on lengthy lockdowns, did you notice the average age of the protesters.

People too stupid to realise they are the exact reason the lockdown periods drag on.

Nah, this is what you expect in Russia, China, North Korea, Congo or Mogadishu

This is just brain dead dole bludgers with too much time on their hands, better helping a charity help the ones tied down indoors!

Hey Festiva, whatever the strategy they are going with, it needs to give you guys hope. There seems to be a lot of pain for those LGAs at the moment, for little gain. How long can they continue to imprison those LGAs for, whilst allowing others around the corner to prance around unlimited? Vic went down that road early in wave 2 and it failed.

Does anyone know what percentage of vaccination we would be at IF we had manage to stick to the original roll out? All this outrage over the vaccine roll out, I doubt we would have been sufficiently vaxxed to avoid lock downs in July anyway.

And you gotta question the logic of the Melbourne protestors, waiting until the eve of restrictions easing to run a protest.

Here is some video footage of the horse getting punched, hmm the vid paints a bit of a different picture to the still shot, more like a little nudge really, but I guess someone nabbed a still shot of it right when his arm was fully extended.

Horse is prob more sore from the officer being on its back half the day, but the NSW police made a post on social media with a pic of the horse and saying it was 'recovering'

Next time they should let the dogs go

Yeah the media, police and Dan Andrews are making me cringe with this. After seeing the photo, I was expecting to see something like the scene in Blazing Saddles. This idiot only pushed the side of the horses jaw with a clenched hand.

Charging him with something that is clearly going to be dropped will just add fire to the conspiracy theorists.

I accept i was sucked in by the still photo and article however there is still no need to make contact.

[T3rminator]

Petrol prices just jumped 30c in melb. A prime signal that lock down will end Tuesday.

But always dangerous to go the early crow.

Just to provide a little more info, that spot right there isn't the jaw. There's a tiny bony projection at the end of the skull called the vomer which it extends the length of the nose. The nostrils are largely cartilage and there are a lot of nerves running through that area. Even smacking a horse there is pretty offensive to the horse, so to speak.

But it is not even anything like a smack. It was a push with the forearm as the officer got the horse to go towards him, he was actually just standing his ground. The push to the vomer as you say was just as forceful as the one he does with the horses rear a few seconds earlier as the horse spun backwards towards him.

There is absolutely nothing in this. Apart from the fact that the guy is an idiot for being there.

Leave the charges with what is real. Not wearing a mask, not one of the 5 reasons, whatever is real. Just don't tell me that he punched the horse and it is recovering somewhere.

I mean, the dude still stood there expecting to take on a horse instead of, you know, moving away...

So he didn't punch it, but what kind of psycho stands his ground against a horse?

[cheap]

Probably been watching reruns of Blazing zing Saddles - Mongo style

[T3rminator]

The fend off is child's play compared to these scenes....40 seconds in, what a disgrace.

Heard on channel 7 that NSW crime stoppers have received 5000 calls from the public with tip offs on who attended the protest.

Journos this afternoon was egging Dandrews to take stiff actions against the protesters, but he didn't seem interested?! Very different to last year.

I go in and are 2 guys - obviously mates, one wearing mask the other not.

I am wearing a mask and thankfully the back workout equipment was on other side from the deadlift stuff he was using.

Girl arrives-mask. Then another guy- mask.

I am working out and stare at the guy with no mask but he just ignores me.

I was very tempted to go over and have a “chat” but have had a lesson come my way of in the form of karma that will be very costly and now am rethinking about being confrontational.

Was I correct to not confront him or was it a civic duty to remind public of the law and not be selfish? New times these....

Depends what the rules are. My gym only requires you to wear a mask in the foyer, not while working out.

You mean the media are creating a false story to paint a certain narrative. I’m really shocked at this

[XR Martin]

Horse got punched in the **** first by him, then it spun around.
Did anyone notice he was wearing knuckle dusters too?

[nstg8a]

See the video of avi’s security being arrested?

Anyone that condones this sort of behaviour has rocks in their head.
