Welcome to the Sydney Lockdown day 36 ....

Some of us did try to warn in January that the Vaccine rollout was a cluster in the making but almost no one in media or politics was interested. Morrison & Hunt would not had the first clue but relied on Prof Murphy & the doctors lobby. Crazy.

If you protest in Sydney today, you are a fool and deserve the full force of the law coming down on you. [Also, if you excused the BLM protests this time last year, no serious person cares what you think. You own this mess.]

Here goes the Gladystan briefing - New South Wales in the last 24 hours:
- 105,000+ tests
- 210 new cases (two thirds persons under 40)
- 21(?) infectious in the community (that is good)

Like all people in Sydney, I quite like Brad "Chad" Hazzard - he is by no means the best Health Minister but he means well and is trying his best.

"However, comma" .... Chad cannot clearly explain anything, even if his or our lives depended on it.

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
To be clear: Chad Hazzard is the best Health Minister since Hippocrates etc but he often struggles with the plain English language, which is a problem in a pandemic.

Brad "Chad" Hazzard is on #Insiders

David Speers already asking a stupid question about why Chad is treating different parts of Sydney differently .... David would likely get pneumonia if he went west of Annandale

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
#Insiders - what is David Speers going on about? Sydney is the national engine room. If David's package from the Country Road remainder sale was delayed because the western Sydney mail centres were locked down, he would be the first to complain

Almost every day for the last few months, I have received DMs from people in various parts of the world (esp the US) asking how Australia fell under some Orwellian tyranny with our major cities under public health orders/lockdowns. I think I need to explain 'Australia 101'.
Firstly, there is Australia's size. We are 26m people on a massive island at the world's end. Many of your countries would be mere suburbs or farms here. And your countries are where our population has largely fled from to come here. People still flee here. Not bad, really.
Secondly, Australia was a rugby & cricket team before it was a country. The Australian nation-state was born on 01 January 1901 when our Constitution came into effect. We are a Federation, so our States with their 'police power' run much domestics vs the national Govt which has $

Gladystan briefing - New South Wales in the last 24 hours:
- 170 new local cases
- 42 infectious in the community
- 95,000+ cases
Gladys calling on everyone to get vaccinated.
#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
Gladys to fight for New South Wales to get "its share" of vaccine supplies so that more people can get vaccinated .... a lot of "jabs in arms"

The 'hottest places in Hell' in this Sydney lockdown are reserved for every person who contributed to vaccine hesitancy esp in relation to the Astra-Zeneca jab - and everyone in Govt, esp ATAGI, who let this hesitancy become endemic.

The path still not taken here

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.
#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
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 ....

#Covid19NSW #SydneyLockdown
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
