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.

Yep. On the whole, I think the Oz and NZ approach would have worked out (may still work out?) to be one of the best had we both genuinely been “front of the queue” rather than ‘last in the OECD’ when it came to the vaccines.
NZ is one delta outbreak away from Hipkins strongly regretting that front of the queue statement and not paying the alleged extra $40 mill to Pfizer for priority deliveries (https://www.downtoearth.kiwi/post/a-question-to-health-minister-hipkins). The Australian vaccine situation seems even more inexplicable given AZ vaccines were also actively in the mix.

@nta you waved goodbye to August and September, I reckon these guys cost us October as as well
At this point is there any appetite in NSW to basically accept some level of COVID from here on out and perhaps go for a softer lockdown for longer (mandatory masks indoors, no big events etc, caps on retail etc) rather than a harder lockdown in the hopes of achieving 0 cases again?
Looking at Canada's experience the vaccine ramp up and weather should play into Australia's favour from here on out and things could be kept at a manageable level.
What will the appetite be to lift any border restrictions in Q1 2022 once max vaccination has been achieved if everyone spent the better part of 3-4 months in lockdown less than six months earlier?
Much easier to accept 10 cases a day coming from 100 rather than 0.

One thing Aus did that I really like, orvliked given that gambled on AZ, was tool up to manufacture their own vaccines on shore.
COVID is not going away in a hurry, and we're going to need annual boosters you'd think. Would unlikely be a wasted investment.

It's definitely been discussed at NSW parliament. The issue is that if we don't get back to zero, we become a leper island until the narrative changes across the entire country. We won't be able to leave NSW at all.
But there may not be any other option at this stage, it's starting to feel like this has gotten away from us and zero isn't going to be possible.

And then proceeded to screw up the messaging completely on AZ to the point that nobody wanted to take it. 🤦
