The NSW gov released modelling this week which it says shows that the health system will easily be able to cope with the Omicron Tsunami - I’ve broken down some of the numbers for those so inclined…2/ Firstly - in terms of hospitalisation, Domicron claims that there is capacity for an additional 4500 Covid patients in hospital….3/

SATIRICAL TRANSCRIPT OF NSW COVID MEETING THIS AM
DOM: We need to look like we’re doing something!
Dr C: Or we could actually do something…
DOM: Of course. What could we do that won’t cost anything, won’t impact many people and won’t slow down our plans for herd immunity?…..2/ Dr C: We could shut down hospitality/entertainment venues. They’re a major source of transmission.
DOM: [shaking head and hands] Too expensive and will slow transmission too much. What’s the absolute bare minimum we could do?
Dr C: Stop singing and dancing at all events?…..3/

A few days ago - @BradHazzard told us that “the overwhelming majority of people in ICU are unvaccinated”.

But today NSW Health released its risk dashboard showing 49% of people in ICU are in fact fully vaccinated - confirming Hazzard flat out lied to us….2/ Image You have to ask why. My guess is that it supports the LNP’s narrative of “Don’t worry about Omicron, only the unvaxed are impacted— and it’s their fault after all.”

Now - to be fair - as a percentage of population, there are way more unvaxed in ICU than vaxed…..BUT….3/

If there’s one thing everyone agrees on - it’s that having an effective Test, Trace & Isolate (TTI) function is critical to controlling Covid - even with 80% plus vax levels. And yet there are some worrying signs that NSW’s TTI function is crumbling under the pressure….2/ …Starting with Test: in the past NSW has encouraged people to come out and get tested “with the mildest of symptoms”. This week Chant changed the message to more of an “only if you need to” one stating the system is under pressure…..3/

The discussion around the AZ vaccine has reached peak farce! I’m at a loss as to how so many normally rational journos seem to have become mindless drug pushers! This tweet is a study in false equivalences and misquoting facts to manipulate the truth. If you read the study that is misquoted by @sabralane - you will see that the fatality rates she quotes are not for the casual taking of an aspirin for a headache - but come from a study of 50 year old males taking a daily aspirin to prevent heart issues. Shameful journalism.
