Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 26 ....

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown

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.

If I seem adamant about Vaccines, it is because, when I was a youth, I had a severe case of whooping cough. Due to my late father's work, we came home through Mumbai where there was a severe whooping cough outbreak. But for his jabs, young Gray would have died. Vaccines work.

All rather ominous prelude to the Gladystan briefing

Gladystan briefing - New South Wales in the last 24 hours:
- 84,000 tests (record - well done south west Sydney)
- 110 new local cases
- 43 infectious in the community

Bad news but also reflecting massive testing numbers.

All of the Federal and State Govt esp the MPs/Senators should be on half-pay or no pay. It is simply offensive that the political class has borne no suffering because of their many screw ups in the last 18 months.

Media finally questioning politicians with some awareness that the Australian community is in month 19 of 2020 and we are all tired of their incompetence & lack of foresight. No one in south west Sydney caused this omni-cluster.

Why in July 2021 can you not just go into a Sydney pharmacy and get an AZ jab? Why do you have to go through a GP? Even in a pandemic, the AMA - the wharfies in lab coats - cannot lose a tussle with government for the common good.
