how many people in WA 
2 1/2 million?

you get to 70 % vax  (that will be hard without the covid blowtorch)

thats still 900,000 un vaxed.

and from what we see in isreal, they are lining up for number 3 vax as cases rise.

so maybe over a million cases.

delta is SOOOO contagious, you are going to have 1/2 a million cases next year.

if you lock down every time you get a few cases, you'll be locking down forever, so that wont happen,

especially when the rest of OZ is over it.

but say you get 1/2 a million cases next year or even over the next 2 years.

at 10 % hospitalisation thats 50,000 admissions.

see, if you are like most of the rest of the world , its over pretty quick.

but if you draw it out, you have old people in hospital for weeks, 50,000 of them
you will paralyse your hospital system for years, instead of for a few months.

most countries end up with about the same number of deaths.

some have them quick and some draw it out but you wont get away without 1000's of deaths.

that is impossible.

you will hust have many lockdowns, a demolished health system.
you will waste your entire health budget on 85 yo who you will never wean off the ventilator and who probably shouldnt have been admitted in the first place.

look at india, it had a bit of pain for a month or 2 , now its all over. its back playing test cricket.

all WA is doing is slowly slwoly slwoly ripping off ther band aid.

you premier cannot protect you from delta

that is not possible

you are going to have many admissions, much chaos and much mayhem.

better to just get on with it , rather then be the only place on earth still pooping your pants next year, whilst everyone else is kicking back with  a beer, rolling their eyes at you 

Reading this article this morning about WA.
Does this sound a bit harsh or extreme?

This has been a problem everywhere. Sports players, millionaires and movie stars getting special treatment.

From a WA reader:
McGowan's continuous uneducated attacks on Gladys Berejiklian and the NSW liberal government policy of ‘get the jab’ as the best solution to the Delta variant reveals much about his own Government’s policy failures. He inherited an economy that was at the start on a mining boom. The political pain, as a result of some very hard community infrastructure decisions, was already borne by the previous Barnett liberal government but McGowan has done nothing to capitalize on it. The ineptitude handling of the lack of resources in the hospital system is why he keeps the borders shut. When Delta comes to WA it will be a disaster to his personal ratings, nothing else matters to him. Lowest vaccination rates in Australia especially in the vulnerable indigenous communities. Mental health of those unable to have loved ones cross the border will be around for years to come. Industry pleading for workers to allowed in to pick the crops or even just keep the cafe doors open has fatigue and resulting accidents a real threat. Does he care, answer no.

FFS, the grand final is being played here

I can tell you that if he lets the WAGS in, he'll lose my vote at the next election.

There's just no need for it.

Josh Frydenberg warns WA Delta will seep across its borders ‘within a week or a month’

Yep, sure sounds like that to me (and probably most West Australians as well). Probably just so Scotty from Marketing and his 'puppet' Gladys in NSW can say "I told you so...".

Hello???? What's happening in NSW and Victoria at the moment with their out of control Covid cases and deaths? Oh, that's right... small businesses don't matter as long as the Liberals' big business mates can 'flourish'.

Can't wait for the Federal election so we can finally bounce these Liberal (money before lives) muppets out on their ears as they so richly deserve.
