The vaccination rate is up quite a lot over the last few weeks, with more supply expected to come online.
It beggars belief how we don't have a case here yet touch wood. Our CM still on the bench waiting to be tapped in to join the lock down club |

Have you guys heard of the guy telling everyone the NSW case numbers the night before on tiktok? I only heard of it last night at 10pm and he put up 97 NSW cases last night which was right. I was suprised but then again NSW gov leak like a seive and tell journos at their fav rags and radio everything before they go live anyway.
I think they put up 111 cases for tomorrow. No point watching the 9AM briefing, you can get your info the night before. If he's right again now we can both be suprised - no, not really, they set it at 8pm cut off then do nothing until 9am the next day rather than try find up to the minute new info for sydney-siders as that way is too hard, requires work before 9am... Do you think they'll cancel future state of origin between Qld and NSW? Surely from now on it's going to be between NSW and Vic? |

He has done it 3 days in a row, and has had a call from the NSW Health department asking him to stop But he won't.... Obviously has a contact inside, cos he can't "calculate" Vic's numbers. State of Origin? Does Vic even have enough players to field a team? Back many years ago, 91,000 came out to the MCG to watch QLD vs NSW. There is the appetite for it. Quote:

Got my first shot of AZ yesterday. They finally made it available in town.
Didn't feel a thing but I was pretty crook last night. High temperature, chills, shakes, nausea so the porcelain got a decent workout, and no sleep. Feel like crap (bus ran over me type of crap) and have a pretty big headache. |

That gaggle of polies going to 'secure' the Brisbane Olympics should be put at the very end of the waiting list for their return. Totally unnecessary travel and into a Covid hotspot. Then, they need to apply to their own government agencies pleading their case for return. Shame on all of them for rubbing it in our faces. Absolutely and utterly disgusting. I'm not allowed to visit my mum, but if my GF lived next door I could go there every day.

Only to get a quick approval after the department is publicly SHAMED into granting it by the media. How many go unnoticed because they don't get the help of the media?

What’s it been? ONE covid death this YEAR ( for the entire of Australia)?
It’s friggin nuts! Hospitals overflowing with cases? Funeral homes unable to cope? “Gold standard” “Platinum standard”, whatever feckin standard…. Your all been takin for a ride! Meanwhile empty planes carting pollies off to Olympics, or to “mucho important” meetings, or ferrying celebrities in…. Whilst Joe Blow can’t go more than 5ks from his home? Got up for gigs, this whole fiasco…,

Chatting to a mate in London, the whole of England get their freedom day on Monday. This means ALL restrictions are lifted...caps, masking, everything. However there is one remaining controversy, they are still required to use QR code to check into venues.
Apparently they still require people to isolate for 14 days if they are positive or a "close contact", even for the fully jabbed. This has prompted a lot of people to delete the NHS app, and electing to manually enter "donald duck" details. Not sure how this is going to work. Opening up will mean Covid will be everywhere, are they going to isolate the whole country?! Interesting test case coming up on what to do and what not to do once we are ready to open up.

I dont feel too sorry for restaurants. They've had ample time to get their delivery business sorted, no excuses now. And as for construction workers crying poor... cry me a river. Friends who were doing reno projects over the last few months have complained they cant get anyone to show up unless you're paying way over the going rate and paying cash. Tax cheats are the last people I want to be supporting. |

Not looking good.
Rolling truck blockade right outside Aldi Bankstown all horns blazing... Police pulled over one. My brother is in the construction game, told me all work sites closed next 2 weeks? Haven't been looking at the covid updates today. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Not looking good for Vic either. New exposure site listed - Lygon st pub during the EURO 2020 final.
18 of the 19 today have been out in the community. Tuesday easing of restrictions ain't looking good. I reckon they'll ask for another week. Interesting that the Syd removalists that started the Vic outbreak spent 5 hours with a family in SA, apparently not wearing masks either, but did not infect anyone. Tin foil hat time.

The rural regions may see some restriction lifted early but not before next Tuesday, our government masters often offer false hopes. |

Just can't see how we are going to avoid having further lock downs going forward. Its either let it rip or just more of this. And with close to 10% hospitalisation rate in NSW, its getting quite depressing. Keep calm and carry on.

The clowns next to me (re)dug strip footings all morning, some of their (re)work is in the neighbour’s “zone of influence” so he could go them for future cracking if it’s not poured ASAP. And, open roofs on major renovations - you’re not going to put a blue poly tarp on it and then expect to resume in a fortnight. Even if you have access to builders’ tarps it may be that they can’t supply soon enough to comply with the requirements. |

Roof would probably be able to be finished to the most basic of standards under the 'emergency work' provision? Looking at the fine print. I'm also not allowed to go to work now? I live in the Canterbury - Bankstown LGA and work a few days casual teaching and a few nights in the city at the front desk of an apartment complex. Schools closed, both probably deemed non essential. Emailing my boss now for clarification. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-...ined/100301642 What a poorly worded article.... no wonder people are confused. Flicking back and forth with the rules.
