People outside in winter getting sun. There is risk of transmission. There is also a risk that in month 18 of 2020 that esp younger people are finding this hard to hack, mentally. To govern is to choose.

Many in the crowds at Bondi or Coogee or Manly or wherever are foreigners who live & work here & often cannot get home. It is winter, people are probably lonely & I am not going to lose my mind over people sharing a coffee on a cold Saturday morning

Sydney is unusually parochial place. Many in it are from somewhere else. There is something very strange about seeing Sydney like this & it is deeply weird to expect younger people to welcome a winter 2021 that looks like 2020

I am increasingly convinced that there is a whole segment of people here who, were they not shaming anyone who did not immediately comply with the latest Covid directive, they would be joining some public health Shining Path.

Gladys is on now .... here comes 'mad panic 2021'

'If you own or work in a cafe or restaurant in the greater Sydney area, rest assured your livelihoods are being ruined by people whose pay banks, reliably, every fortnight .... No one is allowed to mention Singapore or you are deported to Victoria'

Our own Brad Hazzard talking about the virus engaging in a 'counter-attack' is why Brad is the greatest Public Health minister since Florence Nightingale.

The journos - no doubt upset they had to cross the Bridge to the North Shore - just panting for a massive Sydney lockdown ..... we are, seemingly, never escaping 2020. Dan Andrews' disastrous Melbourne was the future - not a stark warning - it seems.

Why are there never any Stats on severity? How many are in Hospital? How many in ICUs? How does this compare to the usual seasonal flu?

I supported strong measures in 2020. I would drag people to get vaccinated. I have no problem with strong state action. Sydney is 6m people in a sprawling city & the national engine room esp since Melbourne speared-in under Andrews. When does this end?

Does anyone in Govt (anywhere) understand that when you say that getting vaccinated brings no relief from these lockdowns - when many people did not want the AZ jab as it was - that this just adds to Normals' vaccination hesitancy???

One feels for the Police being dragged in so as to add a trusted uniform here .... This seems to have come from the casualised transport services running from airports. Even 20 years post Sept 11, no one verifies who drives in/from a global airport.

A/ "Get Vaccinated: it is in your & all our interests ... and it is Sydney and Australia's way out from these idiotic, Dan Andrews-style, lockdowns"

B/ "Even if you are vaccinated, greater Sydney will still be locked down"
