Welcome to Sydney lockdown day 5 .....

Get vaccinated, people/sheeple - the vaccines work! #COVID19nsw #sydneylockdown

abc.net.au/news/2021-06-2…
Very good column by @CMMortlock on the youth and even former youth getting vaccinated. An example to their reluctant elders.
Outstanding testing results - 68,220 tests.

Australians under 50: desperate for a vaccination, will take any booking in August or later to get jabbed.

Boomers: major cities in lockdown & vaccine stocks prioritised for them ..... "Oh, I think I will wait and see"

#COVID19nsw #sydneylockdown
Same .... and the lack of urgency .... Sydney has football stadia & ovals all over the greater metro area. Ideal places to vaccinate en masse. Instead the feelings of the AMA, our most militant union, were seemingly prioritised

As it is June 30, and the Australian financial year ends, as does "month 18 of 2020", and Sydney and other large cities are locked down, it is time for all of us Australians to review the simply abysmal Vaccine procurement and roll-out. Here we go ....
As JFK said, victory has a thousand fathers and defeat is an orphan. But this failure has many parents as well. I started my own Vaccine (non) Rollout thread on Jan 4, when we ivo Sydney's northern beaches were locked down. No one cared....
On Jan 4, it was plainly obvious that the Australian vaccine rollout was headed to our current dead-end. No one in January could explain the step-by-step of how a pallet of Pfizer landing at Sydney Airport tonight would end up in an arm in Adelaide. This was a logistical task.

"While the majority of the people who attended the West Hoxton party were infected with the virus, those who emerged unscathed had been vaccinated"

Unpopular Opinions:
1/ every compassionate allowance should be made by the Australian Govt for expats to return home esp if family sick.
2/ expatriates, who have not lived in Australia for years but now demand, in a pandemic, to return home....less stridency may help your case.
There may be valid prudential reasons why Australia (mercifully unscathed by massive death tolls) has been reluctant to open its borders to even its closest friends and allies .... Image
Regardless, the 'expat' is, I suspect, viewed by most Australians, who live here, with all the warmth & regard that the 'good son' viewed the sinful 'prodigal son' - and it may do expats well to look at the latter's repentance before demanding a 'right to return' from the former.

Welcome to Sydney lockdown day 3 .....

Gladys rightly praising the stalwarts of @NSWHealth whose contact tracing is the "Gold Standard" of public health. Also, some good hits on the plethora of punditry by our various 'public health experts'.

#COVID19nsw #sydneylockdown
Please. Get. Vaccinated.

If not for you, for someone you love, or, at least, for someone who tolerates your proximity.

#COVID19nsw #sydneylockdown
Good to see a more subdued Brad Hazzard reeling off the stats showing that the Covid vaccinations work. Albeit, he is firing up now. Good shots at the online punditry.

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
#COVID19nsw #sydneylockdown
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

Thirty years later, "Hunt For Red October" still goes well .... No one reviewing a classic movies channel will pass up HFRO - it is the "Roadhouse" for the thinking man. Also, probably Alec Baldwin's last serious role.
The HFRO starts well with Alec Baldwin being dropped to Heathrow in a Range Rover - at one stage, they were basically issued to naval officers as the Range Rover sat high enough that most officers could wear their cap while driving past the guard
Quite why a naval analyst would end up at the CIA and not, say, ONI, has never been explained to me, except recall reading that ONI was located in a part of US "Fedland" where local gangs exchanged gunfire outside after dark. I am sure someone will correct me here.
