NSW breaks COVID-19 case records with 825 infections, three deaths

NSW recorded 825 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday.

It’s the highest number recorded by any Australian jurisdiction in a 24-hour period.

Of today's record cases, only 149 were linked to known cases or clusters.

The isolation status of 637 cases remains under investigation, while 58 were infectious in the community.

Three people have also died from COVID-19, bringing the total number of deaths during the Delta outbreak to 68.

A woman in her 90s from south-west Sydney became the 10th death linked to an outbreak at Liverpool Hospital, where she was a patient in the geriatric ward.

The other two deaths were men in their 90s and 80s from northern Sydney, who were residents of the Greenwood Aged Care in Normanhurst.

They were infected there by an unvaccinated employee.

The state's total number of fatalities since the start of the pandemic is 124.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said "everybody should get the vaccine now".

"Don't be fussy on the vaccine. Go forth and get your vaccine with any vaccine offered to you," she said.

"Please make sure you do it as soon as possible to protect you and your loved ones and make sure we get quicker to our goals."

NSW deputy chief health officer Marianne Gale said 16 people who attended a gathering in Maroubra last weekend had since tested positive for COVID-19.

"A number of their contacts have also tested positive," she said.

"Contact tracing and further testing is under way and I'd like to particularly ask residents of Maroubra, Malabar and the Matraville area to come forward for testing and isolate should you have even the mildest of symptoms."

There were 38 new cases in Western NSW, including 32 in Dubbo, two in Bathurst, two in Wellington and one each in Walgett and Narromine.

Meanwhile, the outbreak in the state's far west continued to grow, with 12 new infections in Wilcannia and two new cases in Broken Hill.

More to come.

A Camberwell GP says children are turning to self harm and experiencing suicidal thoughts in skyrocketing numbers due to Victoria’s repeated lockdowns.

The Australian today reports confidential Victorian Agency for Health Information reports show the number of teenagers hospitalised after self-harming or suffering suicidal thoughts has spiked by 51 per cent, with a weekly average of 148 presentations a week this year, compared to 98 a week last year.

In a powerful interview, Dr Stacey Harris became tearful while describing how the lockdowns are “destroying” kids.

She saw five suicidal year 12 students in a single day last week.

“I saw five 17 and 18-year-olds, all in year 12 on the brink … talking about suicide, talking about self-harm,” she told Neil Mitchell.

“These kids that were once happy go lucky kids, high achievers, are harming themselves.

“It breaks my heart to see these kids being destroyed day after day, after day, after day.

“If I take a day off for my mental health I know that they’re not being seen. It’s just got so bad … you have no idea.”

Dr Harris says she’s heard the Monash Medical Centre and Royal Children’s Hospital are “inundated” with mental health cases.

“None of them want to talk because their jobs are on the line, but they’re seeing it,” she said.

Mental health leaders urge Australia to learn to live with COVID

A growing number of mental health leaders are warning the aggressive pursuit of zero-COVID through lockdowns is coming at too high a cost to people’s wellbeing and we must learn to live with the virus, amid surging calls for help.

Prominent psychiatrist and former Australian of the Year Patrick McGorry said eliminating COVID-19 was unsustainable and should be abandoned as soon as the 70-80 per cent vaccination threshold was reached.

Yes - we will have to learn to live with it.
When will get to 70% vaccination?

I wonder why most of the cases are in Sydney west/south west?

NSW Police have issued an appeal to find a Sydney man who they say tested positive to COVID-19 and is accused of failing to isolate.
An arrest warrant was issued for Anthony Karam, 27, who "has failed to isolate as directed by the Public Health Order".

Karam is described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, with an olive complexion, about 170cm tall and of a thin build. He has short dark hair, brown eyes, a beard and moustache.

He is known to frequent Greenacre, Wentworth Point and Parramatta.

In Israel, where the COVID vaccination rate has surpassed 80%.

On DW news this morning.....

It was reported that COVID infections there had DOUBLED, in the last day or so.

And they reported that because of this, Israel is still facing the prospect of LOCKDOWNS.

Also doctors there are reporting that 'some' 'fully vaccinated' people are showing none OR, very low antibodies against the COVID virus.

[ n.b.
It is the vaccines against COVID which people are getting,
which should be stimulating the body's antibodies production against the COVID virus,
in order to fight COVID virus, in the body !
BUT THEY ARE REPORTING, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING, OR IT IS HAPPENING VERY WEAKLY ! ]
