The ABC are reporting a confirmed case here in Broken Hill today. They have been infectious in the community in Broken Hill and Wilcannia. So no doubt there will be more to come in the next few days for western NSW.

We need a cure, not something that masks the symptoms like these ineffective "vaccines", that still allow you to get it and spread it, but slightly reduce the chances of death. It's just a band-aid solution. As soon as we open up again it's going to spread like wildfire, no matter how many people are vaxxed. The message is slowly getting out there. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021...r-problem.html “The message that breakthrough cases are exceedingly rare and that you don’t have to worry about them if you’re vaccinated — that this is only an epidemic of the unvaccinated — that message is falling flat,” Harvard epidemiologist Michael Mina told me in the long interview that follows below. “If this was still Alpha, sure. But with Delta, plenty of people are getting sick. Plenty of transmission is going on. And my personal opinion is that the whole notion of herd immunity from two vaccine shots is flying out the window very quickly with this new variant.” “We’re seeing a lot more spread in vaccinated people,” agreed Scripps’s Eric Topol, who estimated that the vaccines’ efficacy against symptomatic transmission, which he estimated to be 90 percent or above for the wild-type strain and all previous variants, had fallen to about 60 percent for Delta. “That’s a big drop.” Later, he suggested it might have fallen to 50 percent, and that new data about to be published in the U.S. would suggest an even lower rate. On Wednesday, a large pre-print study published by the Mayo clinic suggested the efficacy against infection had fallen as far as 42 percent. Last edited by Bossxr8; 17-08-2021 at 03:16 PM. |

Wow. Just heard the Feds are deploying their own response teams, AUSMAT, into NSW. Is this the first of its kind?
AUSMAT have so far been flawless in its management of hotel quarantine in NT. It might actually be a good idea for them to take over, although I think I heard they are only being deployed into some struggling regional areas.

I had to laugh when Barra and Gladys basically said that because of the threat from ACT, they locked down regional NSW.
I know some dickheads headed for the coast and but surely the rest of NSW is the bigger threat itself? Where do you think ACT got it from geniuses? ![]() Barr has kept himself out of the **** fight with other premiers but I liked this from him ![]() Quote:

Trevor enjoy regional Victoria as I doubt any interstate travel will be possible for the rest of this year, with the delta variant it is proven it is hard to contain as it is spreading, all the states premiers know this is a game changer for the worse.

I'd say, so do the under 16's, the under 12's, then under 2's and the 6 month olds.

Am I right or wrong to assume that there is no vaccination approved for children?
If this is the case then how can things open up if adults are vaccinated but not the children?

Children of vaccinated can be with vaccinated parents and have the same liberties as vaccinated adults.

This. I would think if someone could change a clutch or hang a downpipe off a gutter or complete any practical task, then it would be obvious that wearing a mask when required, isolating when required, getting vaccinated when it’s possible and keeping a clear head and thinking logically would be no-brainers.

The entire point of these restrictions is to disconnect clusters. Cluster = all the people that can be linked via immediate household members, or work colleague close contacts. It's undermined when you start allowing clusters to connect. Quote:

Pretty big jump in today's NSW cases.

Meanwhile, NZ now has seven cases: all linked back to the NSW outbreak. Quote:

For entertainment purposes only. Starting to mostly become a waste of time. Occasionally you get some tidbits of useful info from the vic presser. The occasional nsw ones I've seen are a joke. State wide lock down was done through twitter, rather than the presser, that tells you a lot.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT August 17th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 465 new cases for Australia and 1 deaths so the CMR is 2.413%. No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.889%. The UK had a lower 26,628 cases yesterday and higher 170 deaths for a CMR of 2.074%. A lower 134,104 new cases in the USA yesterday and 756 deaths sees CMR at 1.693%. Other notable points: Global cases pass 209M, the last 1M in 1 day; Malaysia moves above Bangladesh for total case numbers; Georgia (6,208); Cuba (9,774); and Iran (50,228) ... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. North Macedonia, Angola and Montenegro move above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period and no countries drop below.

It's also the first time that the NSW trend line has crossed above the Victorian one from last year but that's only because Victoria had actually passed the peak of 725 cases after which the decline was quite fast, dropping below 400 cases / day inside a week. Disclaimer: I'm not saying the model below is anything like accurate as there are too many variables to consider and I'm fresh out of crystal balls but it's the best I can manage. I've added the actual numbers for NSW (the black solid line). ![]()

NZ have made a claim that their covid case originated from NSW, but have yet to offer any further details. Given that the border bubble has been closed for a few weeks now, it'll be very interesting to hear how this has leaked in..... diplomat or sport related is my bet.

You should see the games being played in the workforce, ohhh look I am 3 days off the end of swing/week, Ive got the sniffles and I need to get a test.
Oh look, test takes 2-3 days so I guess its an early home time! FFS its a joke but its all within the rules right now.
