Catching up with the #LetItRipDom presser. Brad Hazzard & Dr Chant stressing that people should wear masks indoors to protect themselves & others.
So why remove the mandate? 'Just cause Dom wants to?
Shame Dr Chant isn't prepared to be far more up front...#COVID19nsw #nswpol

2/ Gather outdoors as much as possible, small groups, don't let your Christmas be messed up by getting sick.
The messages are totally contradicted by setting changes.
PS: The modelling is for 25K new cases each day by end Jan. Merry Christmas from Dom...😱

3/ Then we move on to, we want to protect people in aged care & disability homes (cue Dom & Brad with choreographed synchronised nodding), so masks will be required in those settings (cue D &B choreographed synchronised vigorous nodding).

Then we move on to we want to protect residents of aged care & disability homes (cue vigorous synchronised nodding by Dom & Brad), so masks will still be required in these settings (cue extremely vigorous synchronised nodding by D & B).
#COVID19nsw #Omicron #LetItRipDom

4/ Vigorous synchronised nodding signifies that Dom, Brad & Cabinet really want to protect residents of aged care & disability homes, although that pesky #Omicron might be spreading exponentially.

5/ The Perrottet govt & NSW Health is now proud to introduce a new look in contact tracing. Called "light touch contact tracing", it's sort of like skim milk. It's called milk but it has bugger all taste.
Light touch contact tracing is the 'we do bugger all' unless...

6/ ...we have a super spreader event, like the nightclub in Newcastle. This is a #LetItRipDom special! Nothing like #superspreader events!
So in 'light touch' contact tracing, apparently people who engage in vigorous dancing, get caught up in a #superspreader event, will...

7/ ...be told the joyous news that will really make their Christmas! PS: Please be cautious if you go into an aged care setting & wear your mask (I didn't quite get this segue...).
Now, on the downside...
#nswpol #LetItRipDom

8/ ...(another downside) is that NSW Health & the team from #LetItRipDom don't know a lot about the severity of #Omicron. Never mind, they'll know more in the next few weeks.
By which time Christmas might have taken a decidedly...

9/ ...shall we say, "whoops, we stuffed up" tone. So let's just look on the bright side of life and 🤞🤞. 🤪🙃🙄 It will just be a flesh wound.
#nswpol #LetItRipDom #Omicron

10/ Then we move into the "Stay safe" phase of the presser. Personal responsibility. The mother duck of the NSW govt is setting you free to explore the world, trusting you to make wise decisions! We wash our hands of you! 🥚🐣🐤🐥🦢 (Cue more vigorous synchronised head nodding.)

11/ And PS from Dr Chant, please get your booster because two doses don't provide a lot of protection against #Omicron.
(Honestly, it does feel like this could be a Mark Humphries skit...😱)

11/ Then we move to questions & I really need a break 'cause I'm clearly losing it here...
