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

Chad Hazzard in tow .....

Gladys: big uptake in testing in Fairfield and there will be further testing in south west Sydney. Ever more testing .... do not assume that you do not have the virus for lack of testing

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown

New South Wales last 24 hours:
- 78 new local cases
- 27 infectious in the community
- younger people getting the Delta strain
- 2/3 cases in south west Sydney

Gladys talking about heading back to work after July 30 .... is this news?

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown

Dr Chant talking about stopping spread, people on ventilators, limit movement .... Sydney trapped in a perennial 2020

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown

Dr Chant talking about getting vaccinated where we simply do not have enough doses and people are trading vaccination links on Hot Docs....Hazzard talking about booking yourself in and that is not for weeks. What planet do these people live on???

On @SkyNewsAust the very sound @Kieran_Gilbert saying that Federal sources are seeing virus numbers stabilise. Lockdowns are basically working. However @aclennell says talk of “green shoots” premature & still numbers have not moved yet

What is the argument for further lockdowns where Boomers & older have had months now to get vaccinated and have clearly chosen not to do so? Children (esp in deprived public schools) getting an even worse education now.
