Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 24 ....

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown Image
We all look forward to the 11am Gladystan briefing .... our media provides endless fear and hysteria, our politicians responds with scolding and scapegoating. This should all be very healthy for the body politic.

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
Gladystan 11am briefing: New South Wales has:
- 98 new local cases
- 20 in the community

Again, blowout testing numbers - well done to Sydney especially south west Sydney

#COVID19NSW #sydneylockdown Image
These briefings offer no discernible path out - there are no goals beyond a vague elimination target for a city of ~6m people. They simply provide a forum for scaring and scolding. The media love the hysteria. The language is absurdly complex
#covid19nsw #sydneylockdown
Can someone ask Gladys why Katie Hopkins and Caitlyn Jenner can go to a workplace here - but construction workers and everyone else cannot? Hello? Who is their union representative?

#COVID19nsw #sydneylockdown
Gladys keeps using “safely and freely” which clearly is the focus grouped term ….. Daniel Andrews is as bad except he has a media cult (aka the Rafsphere) to protect him even when he appears like a disgraced former football club director
#Covid19NSW #sydneylockdown
So apparently Sydney is locked down in part per Dr Chant because over 60s will not get the AZ jab and are waiting for Pfizer? Seriously? We have ruined lives and households for a year now to protect boomers wanting bespoke jabs???

Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 26 ....

Please note that I have no trouble with near mandatory Vaccination: Vaccines work on Herd Immunity & some of the Herd's more vulnerable canot have the Vaccine. You (whether you accept this or not) have a moral duty to help protect the Herd's weakest.

There are few upsides to a lockdown but purging one's followership of anti-Vax cranks and FB group paranoids .... in Australia, we are all part of Medicare & the Tax system. The Govt already knows a huge amount about you. You are not that interesting.

Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 25 ....

(The HMAS Sydney (1) mast and Naval memorial at Bradleys Head, Mosman, in happier, pre-Covid times)

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown Image
For all in Sydney (or, indeed, anywhere) .... happier times

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown

For the Government staffers who follow me:
- every day we are in this, we think of glacial vaccines rollout & problems obvious in January. That is on you in Canberra. There is an election due next May...
- It is July & there is still no reopening plan

Go the @wallabies !!! #AUSvFRA
Good wishes to the French - there is no playing style I enjoy watching more than the French, so, win, lose, or draw, hopefully the traditional French flair and panache is on full display tonight

#AUSvFRA
The stories of French players past and present are hilarious - the former great, Serge Blanco, who would apparently have a cigarette at half time, and the coach Jacques Foroux, who would enjoy a red wine as the national team played.

Good morning all & OTD in 1918, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra & their 5 children were all murdered by the Bolsheviks-they were each shot, bayoneted & clubbed to death in a Yekaterinburg basement by the Red Guards.
The Romanovs are Martyrs in the Russian Church.
The Romanov princesses who would serve stints as Russian Army nurses in field hospitals near the Russian Stavka in the Great War before they were all murdered with their parents, the Tsar & Tsarina, by the Bolsheviks in 1918.
In the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Paris, there is a shrine erected by the White Russian exiles to the martryred Romanovs.

Welcome to Sydney lockdown day 21 ....

Per that Crikey piece - must say I am dubious about the worth of ‘health policy advice’ from ex political staffers who are not medically or otherwise scientifically qualified

Waiting for today’s Gladystan briefing
