@mariner4life both self and Mrs Boo had AZ. Both still alive. That's 0% mortality by my calcs.
Mind you her second was this morning .... time to be proven wrong ... I'll check in in the morning.

this new suspension of the bubble is it both ways? Have only read about Aust-NZ being suspended for 8 weeks, not the other way.
Not sure Aus cares about NZers coming this way. Cindy might not like Kiwis going who then want to go back. Not sure.

@mariner4life you are still breathing right
But yeah, Aus & NZ are far too far down this path now that they have to stay the course until they vaccinate everyone and then look at opening to the world!
the pessimistic part of me says, even with teh vaccine, when (if) we open up, there are going to be a bunch of cases, and a bunch of people are going to die.
and that will be sad on two fronts. sad that people have died. and sad we have put ourselves through this for not much tangible benefit.
i hope i am very wrong.
First bold: I'd suggest "realistic"
Second bold: I'll disagree. I reckon we've had close to a normal life in NZ and Aus ( particularly QLD ... to date... ), and opening up suggests decent proportion vaxxed and therefore more protected.
18 months ago I was in (I'm guessing) the 5% mortality band. Now I'm vaxxed I'm guessing my risk is way way lower.
And at least I can post this without having to use a device ...
I think sometimes overseas people think we’ve been constantly in rolling lockdowns. This is my second. The original one and then now Gladys’ one. Life was pretty normal for 12 months. We started vaccinations late but we’ve been in less restrictions than any of my overseas mates.

That's the thing many don't seem to grasp. Almost every country in America Europe and Asia have had lockdowns, so it's not like we are going out on a limb, everyone locks down. NZ and parts of Australia went hard and fast, and we are generally the areas that have enjoyed an almost normal life apart from very limited overseas travel

No, not true. We are sick of hearing about your success in our media basically, and laughing in a jealous sort of way at the extreme reactions.
Trust me, we couldn’t be more aware that life down there has been sweet. I doubt most people are even aware that Melbourne was closed for a few months.

I'm not trying to trigger you mate, but I know you are easily triggered by such talk. I am well aware that Melbourne has been locked down, my sister lives there and her kids have spent almost as much time at home than at school. I have a colleague an hour outside London that was locked down for months too. It might sound like gloating but for my part I just feel fortunate that we have been at least as lucky as we have been good

@canefan not triggered … I replied to the wrong post. The one you quoted.
Sorry, shitty wifi!
Ah, carry on then mate!

163 cases in NSW, with 76 "under investigation" i.e. we have no fucking idea.
Still - record testing of 93,910 tests conducted which is fucking amazing. How much resource input is there for that versus administering vaccines? There are reports that 24 hours is no longer the window for test results, which it reached when testing volumes were lower.
Bye August. Bye September.
**COVID-19 (Coronavirus) statistics** 24 July 2021 NSW recorded 163 new locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. Of these locally acquired cases, 87 are linked to a known case or cluster – 62 are household contacts and 25 are close contacts – and the source of infection for 76 cases is under investigation. Seventy-three cases were in isolation throughout their infectious period and 26 cases were in isolation for part of their infectious period. Forty-five cases were infectious in the community, and the isolation status of 19 cases remains under investigation. One case was acquired overseas in the 24 hours to 8pm last night. Four previously reported cases have been excluded following further investigation, bringing the total number of cases in NSW since the beginning of the pandemic to 7,462. Sadly, a man in his 80s from south-west Sydney died at Liverpool hospital yesterday (Friday). NSW Health extends its deepest sympathies to his loved ones. This man’s death was announced yesterday and is included in today’s figures. This brings the total number of COVID-related deaths in NSW to 62, including six during the current outbreak. There have been 1,940 locally acquired cases reported since 16 June 2021, when the first case in the Bondi cluster was reported. There are currently 139 COVID-19 cases admitted to hospital, with 37 people in intensive care, 17 of whom require ventilation. A record 93,910 COVID-19 tests were reported to 8pm last night, compared with the previous day’s total of 86,620. NSW Health thanks the community for continuing to come forward for testing in high numbers, which is vital to detecting cases early and preventing further spread of the virus. NSW Health administered 25,312 COVID-19 vaccines in the 24 hours to 8pm last night, including 8,095 at the vaccination centre at Sydney Olympic Park. The total number of vaccines administered in NSW is now 3,369,252, with 1,309,786 doses administered by NSW Health to 8pm last night and 2,059,466 administered by the GP network and other providers to 11.59pm on Thursday 22 July 2021.

I'm glad I made a decision to walk left out my front door today for my exercise. If I'd gone right, or if I was meeting my niece to exercise with I would have bumped into this dipshits at some stage.

Of course some human rights lawyer will rubbish my plan, but then these idiots are threating MY human rights, so...
I've heard second hand about people I know being there and having a go. Some of them are unable to go to work and therefore losing income and angry about it. I get that. There will be a cadre of Sovereign Citizen chuds who just like to say "Magna Carta" a lot as well as some randoms who just want to get out of the house and myabe punch a horse ...
If the government at both state and federal level had a simple plan to execute income support alongside a hard lockdown in rapid (<48 hr) fashion, this sort of shit wouldn't happen.
There's a lot of short term thinking going on, and it isn't just isolated to the fuckwits marching today.
