#GladysTheSuperSpreader has selected her earrings. Lippy & blush applied. Doesnā€™t spend as much time on her hair these days. Anyway, sheā€™s ready as ever to do what she does best. Deflect from her culpability. The figures will be horrid, but she has her goto plan. šŸ˜‰
Approach the mic, remove the mask, and make sure the first sentence has a ā€œhealthyā€ or ā€œpleasingā€ in it. Then some melodramatic faux-empathy heartfelt blah blah. Hand you over toā€¦ and then weā€™ll take questions.

All the while hoping the others get the questions b/c timefilling
When itā€™s her turn every question is felt as a narcissistic injury, however she pulls herself together with her trusted can I just say please know well yeah no hideous word salad. Never. Ever. Addressing the crux of a question, for minutes she rambles as šŸ‘ stand by to attention

This peer reviewed study recommends that people increase their vitamin D intake to decrease the likelihood of hospitalization due to Covid. Supplements may be required to cover for people's lack of sun exposure #wearamask #Sydneylockdown #nswlockdown
Consult your GP regarding any health advice/concerns - not some guy on the internet šŸ‘
Conclusions from the study: "Vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation. Widespread measurement of serum 25(OH)D and treating any unmasked insufficiency or deficiency through testing may reduce this risk."

Lockdown lite?

Has Sydney's lockdown been too lax?

We have Mobility Data up to Wed 1 July. It gives a picture of people's movements in the first 5 days of #Sydneylockdown

Heads up, to understand these charts there are a few tweets of pre-reading ...

1/9
In the middle of the y-axis, you'll see the number 0

This is the baseline of movement in the community

Baseline = the 'normal' amount of movement on a particular day of the week

Movement on Sundays is different from Wednesdays, so each day has its own normalised baseline

2/9
Google has calculated 'normal' for each day of the week, by finding each day's median throughout a 5-week period from *3 January to 6 February 2020*

That means we need to keep in mind the seasonal and local characteristics of each state during that time of year

Wow, 15 locally-acquired cases in NSW. So 23-30-15

That's a huge relief for Sydney, although we won't know for sure if the outbreak is controlled for a few days yet #covidnsw #nswcovid
For those who made fun of the "gold standard", I'd be interested to know of anywhere in the world that ramped up testing by 8x and went from R(t) ~1.4 to R(t)<~1 in THREE DAYS
38,000 tests in one day. That's 5 tests for every 1,000 people in the state in 24 hours!

1) #COVID19 outbreak in Sydney's #NorthernBeaches is such bollocks. Fact Brad "Health" Hazzard linked it to dude in band called Nothing Too Serious is giveaway. They're taking the piss. It's like when builder tells newbie to go to hardware shop for a "long weight".
2) Clowns running ill-health system want us to believe bug erased across Oz after early Nov. "Well done Aussies. You smashed it." Remember that crap? Yet Kerry Chant herself (and other "experts") said early on they thought maybe 20% infected already. reddit.com/r/CoronavirusDā€¦
3) So, according to her "analysis" horse bolted long ago. They keep muttering gravely about outbreaks, hot spots, super-spreaders. What a load of bollocks. Only way to accurately claim outbreak is if you had *reliable* test used on *entire* population *regularly*. #COVIDNSW
