Sydney LGA  (818 Down), Central Coast (732 Up), Bayside (610 Down), Randwick (606)

Woolongong and Central Coast are still rising slowly. More than half Rural NSW LGAs have Covid, still low numbers of cases, but Lake Macquarie is relatively high (433)i

Let's hope they stay down, or at least a slow increase.  Soon enough the case numbers won't matter anymore, the focus will shift to the Hospital numbers etc.

Singapore have had to increase their restrictions again after a far higher vaccination rate was reached than Sydney.  It's unlikely we'll need to worry about that for NSW given the new leadership, I just hope it's the right call.

It was mainly deserted streets that got the numbers down. Fill the streets up again and anything could happen

Sounds like the vaccinations aren't working that well in Singapore.

The politicians sold you a pup in claiming vaccines are our way out of this idiots like SK fell for this fake news hook line and sinker.

AstraZeneca Scientist Says Delta Variant Makes Herd Immunity Impossible. Here's Why


The Delta variant has changed the equation for achieving herd immunity, the developer of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine has said.

Speaking at a UK parliamentary meeting on Tuesday, Sir Andrew Pollard, a professor of pediatric infection and immunity at the University of Oxford, said that achieving herd immunity is "not a possibility" now that the Delta variant is circulating.

He said it was unlikely that herd immunity will ever be reached, saying the next variant of the novel coronavirus will be "perhaps even better at transmitting in vaccinated populations".

Vaccinated people can still get the Delta variant, albeit as a milder case
Some experts had hoped that herd immunity could be reached with COVID-19, as was the case with measles, which is also highly infectious.Many countries have achieved herd immunity with measles by vaccinating 95 percent of the population against it, such as the US, where endemic transmission ended in 2000. That is because once a person is vaccinated against measles, they cannot transmit the virus.


But growing evidence suggests that, with the Delta variant, fully vaccinated people can still transmit the virus.
"We don't have anything which will stop that transmission to other people," Pollard said.


https://www.sciencealert.com/delta-variant-means-we-can-rule-out-herd-immunity-s...


Idiots like sad sack think non sterlising vaccine for covid will do something the virologists have been saying for over a year they will do nothing to end this pandemic it will only boost profits for Big Pharma.

These vaccinated people who get infected and shed this virus are perfect hosts for this virus to evolve with further mutations.

actually, he sounds  pretty correct and maybe its YOU who will manipulate anything.

the UK saw 40,000 NEW CASES today.

in a country that is almost fully vaxxed.

so the virus is continuing to circulate in vaxxed people and that MUST lead to the probablility of vaccine escape.

thats just a fact of nature.

you owe baron an apology but i dont you will issue one as you argue in bad faith

The Pandemic Speaks

Unlike you, nature respects my purpose-driven existence.

You should know that I haunted the streets of Athens with measles. I watched Pericles die. I destabilized Rome and the Song dynasty. I humbled the Pharaohs, and killed peasants in the 14th century like hail on wheat. I wept with satisfaction during the siege of Tenochtitlan as my smallpox outdid itself. I dogged Napolean’s shivering armies with typhus. I violated England’s working classes with the blue death, cholera. I killed essential workers on the Panama Canal with yellow fever. I visited the trenches of the First World War with influenza. You’ve carried on with your great and complex ambitions, and I have laid them low. Need I go on with tales of Ebola, HIV and SARS?

I am an eternal force of history, and, let’s be honest, you are not.

so the virus is continuing to circulate in vaxxed people and that MUST lead to the probablility of vaccine escape.

thats just a fact of nature.


It's true once we reach certain vaccination thresholds we need to transition from case numbers to hospitalisation and death as the markers because the virus will spread.  Our vaccines offer us protection from the virus, but it doesn't lower the transmissibility, not with these vaccines. Hopefully there will be such a vaccine in the future, but we'll take what we can get for now.

Of course, none of this is new information, we've known it from the beginning.

But it's all a conspiracy from big pharma lol...

Singapore have had to increase their restrictions again after a far higher vaccination rate was reached than Sydney.  It's unlikely we'll need to worry about that for NSW given the new leadership, I just hope it's the right call.


Sounds like the vaccinations aren't working that well in Singapore.

The politicians sold you a pup in claiming vaccines are our way out of this idiots like SK fell for this fake news hook line and sinker.

AstraZeneca Scientist Says Delta Variant Makes Herd Immunity Impossible. Here's Why


The Delta variant has changed the equation for achieving herd immunity, the developer of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine has said.

Speaking at a UK parliamentary meeting on Tuesday, Sir Andrew Pollard, a professor of pediatric infection and immunity at the University of Oxford, said that achieving herd immunity is "not a possibility" now that the Delta variant is circulating.

He said it was unlikely that herd immunity will ever be reached, saying the next variant of the novel coronavirus will be "perhaps even better at transmitting in vaccinated populations".

Vaccinated people can still get the Delta variant, albeit as a milder case
Some experts had hoped that herd immunity could be reached with COVID-19, as was the case with measles, which is also highly infectious.Many countries have achieved herd immunity with measles by vaccinating 95 percent of the population against it, such as the US, where endemic transmission ended in 2000. That is because once a person is vaccinated against measles, they cannot transmit the virus.


But growing evidence suggests that, with the Delta variant, fully vaccinated people can still transmit the virus.
"We don't have anything which will stop that transmission to other people," Pollard said.

Idiots like sad sack think non sterlising vaccine for covid will do something the virologists have been saying for over a year they will do nothing to end this pandemic it will only boost profits for Big Pharma.

These vaccinated people who get infected and shed this virus are perfect hosts for this virus to evolve with further mutations.


It's a very different situation in Singapore. They have a higher number of people living in the same households. They have a policy of, if you test positive they urge you to go to hospital until you have overcome your infection to protect the elderly or more vulnerable you may live with.

When they have an exposure site, they send out home testing kits and throughout the pandemic they provided their residents with free masks and hand sanitizer.

They have been reintroducing some restrictions to again slow the spread as their policy of going into hospital or a facility on a positive result isn't able to keep up.

They've been through many respiratory epidemics before, they actually know they're doing, at least in comparison to our government.
