Wow, that escalated quickly! These growing lock downs and restrictions are starting to feel like death by a thousand cuts. Maybe we should just shut the whole central and eastern seaboard down for 2 weeks and get it over and done with. ![]()

Would also be good to tell us the demographic of a lot of these people. But I think the Government are aware of them and that's why they're targeting certain areas to get their vaccines I guess.

Both WA and Qld have not even hinted that the new vaccination travel requirements will be lifted when things do settle down.

There's just general complacency, and a lot of people deliberately trying to game the rules, not wearing masks, travelling/shopping for spurious reasons, etc. |

Amongst other new lockdown restrictions Melbourne going back to curfew conditions, thats going to impress a few.
From 9:00pm to 5:00am, those in Melbourne cannot leave their home except for limited reasons. Essential workers will be able to leave home to go to work. While the curfew won't take legal effect until 11:59pm, Premier Daniel Andrews implored Melburnians to observe it from tonight. He said there would be a heightened police presence to enforce the curfew. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-...oria/100380686

In the past no, but lately, yes. Right or wrong, the curfew does a few things. Sends a strong signal it's getting serious. It's also to catch out the blatant rule breakers who think they can sneak into parties and have a few beers. Yeh they can do it during the day, but it's more visible e.g threat of neighbours seeing numbers of unknown cars parked outside. Etc

CB, I get some sympathy is granted for those in real dias need or circumstance BUT alot of them are not as well......
Mate we can't keep going on its the Feds/Glady fault not being clear enough. What more do you need to know, for one staying indoors as much as poss re community infections for starters. Yes clarity is needed more about, you can this you can't that but I don't think its all that easy dotting every single i and t - who would want to be in her and rest shoes trying to find the light at the end of tunnel whilst a good % DGAF. Were all suffering in our ways, got to deal with it. I had typed alot more but deleted for its my own vent whats doing, others have it far worse I got to take a deep breath.

It is an intelligence of the community.
90% of the people do the right thing. 10% don't and are still not. They just don't get it. The 90% have to wait for all of the 10% to be infected and not able to further spread it around. (Unless this process takes 6 months and they get reinfected) This process takes a while as each plays out their part in the dumbness.

Well that engagement party in Melb has turned out to be a seeding event. Held on the 11th, its already resulted in 6 cases, although hearing it could be as high as 9 as at tonight.
Curious to know how the footage got released....$350k in fines....doesn't feel enough. The news have stopped hiding their faces now.

BTW, I didn’t see anyone wearing a “tallit katan” in that video. That community has got some “cleaning up” to do now. I see their community leaders are involved in that ‘clean up’ online. That entire incident was really just brazen, disrespectful, and arrogant. |

The tallit is under the chap’s shirt. Likely one of these type: https://tzitzit.tallit-shop.com/neatzit-tallit-katan/

While a number of state figureheads are having “mine is bigger then yours” contests, the media are starting to unpack NSW’s trajectory a bit more. I note that Minister Hazzard and Dr Chant are taking a comparative back seat to the Police Minister and the Premier.

Part of me does wonder whether this sudden tightening of rules is a last ditch effort to try get back to zero community transmission before the grand final.
5 weeks to go with a possible bye up their sleeve. Say we come out of these next 2 weeks back down to a few cases with none in community. Gives a good 3 weeks to allow some movement and crowds. Wishful thinking. Mark McGowan must be licking his chops.... his Grand Final dream might actually come to fruition. I must say I did thoroughly enjoy the derby on the weekend, sport is just not the same without a crowd.
