Here's yet another example of what a reckless idiot your hero Dominic is, aqua.

NSW COVID-19 cases leap to over 3700 amid pleas for border rule changes

Quote:

The government is pleading for other states to change their entry rules, as holiday travellers clog testing queues.

Yeah, as if the other States (except WA) don't have enough Covid cases to deal with already - mainly thanks to NSW.

Looks like a lot of people are trying to escape NSW (and Victoria) at the moment. Can't say I blame them.

Quote:

But though the NSW government is calling for those requirements to be changed, it is so far refusing to back down on its resistance to re-imposing COVID-19 restrictions such as indoor mask-wearing.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said yesterday the health and wellbeing of NSW residents is the state's primary concern but no additional restrictions have been announced.

"We always said as we open up case numbers will increase, hospitalisations and ICU numbers will increase," he said.

The guy is a fricking comedian... surely he's just 'taking the piss' with a comment like that? Problem is, this whole escalating Covid disaster isn't even remotely funny.

grappler

have a look at the case numbers in the UK .
they are going straight up like a rocket.
doubling every 2 to 3 days.

the rest of the world will follow suit.

BUT

the numbers are coming down again just as quickly in south africa.
plummeting

AND

they did not have their hospitals over run.

omicron grows 70 x as concentrated in the throat as delta but hardly at all in the deep lungs

no pneumonia
no surge in hospital admissions

but every breath, every cough, every sneeze emits an enormous cloud.

we sill see massive numbers in the next month (if we are foolish enough to measure them).

what we should do is realise this is a golden opportunity to get a lot of long term immunity at very little cost.

you would have to be really really crumbley to be taken out by a sore throat and a blocked nose.

sadly, some people are so unfit they will be.

but its far far better to let omicron surge .

if we dont and we dont let it take over, we will see a spread of delta (15 x as deadly).

that would be insane

we need to let this run wild so that omicron can displace the more deadly variant.

mother nature is on our side and we should take full advantage of that.

if you find a friend with omicron, head over there asap for an exchange of life giving virus

That is one of the most irresponsible things you have ever said here.

Straight out of the anti-vaxxer hand book in fact.

And you're not an anti-vaxxer are you?

I believe the case numbers in New South Wales and Victoria (soon to be followed by all other States except WA) will only stop increasing when they reach the limit of how many tests can be done in a single day.

Probably getting close to that already since I've been hearing that NSW (and no doubt Victoria as well) have started to close down testing places.

Good plan - no testing places = no tests = no Covid cases.

Sounds like something the 'Noble Donald" would come up with. Roll Eyes

incorrect,

why waste 80 dollars a pop on a test which is meaningless.

we are learning to live with covid.

thank god , for the time being it is very very mild and not getting into lungs.

catch it whilst it is in this mild form

a more deadly variant may strike the virgins of WA and they will regret not getting this mild disease

You are irresponsible peddling that line of BS.

There is no proof its milder ... in fact evidence coming from study data is suggesting otherwise.

Quote:

These real-world findings corroborate what we already know about Omicron from laboratory findings – that it is able to evade part of the immune response triggered by vaccines.

Quote:

a study carried out by Imperial College London casts doubts on the cautious optimism shown by South African doctors. The paper, which is yet to be peer reviewed, looked at 333,000 cases, including 122,062 of Delta and 1,846 confirmed cases of the Omicron variant, through genome sequencing between November 29 and December 11, and found no evidence of a difference in the severity of symptoms or hospitalisations when compared with Delta. However, the data included only 24 hospitalisations of patients suspected of having the Omicron variant, with researchers acknowledging that “hospitalisation data remains very limited at this time”. Worryingly, Omicron was associated with a 5.4 times higher risk of reinfection compared with Delta. The study put the protection offered by a previous infection at around 19 percent and with a booster jab at between 55 and 80 percent.

Sorry, guys.

No-one's listening.

Especially Scotty from Marketing and Dom 'let it rip' Perrottet.

incorrect.

omicron would be infecting probaly way more then 3000.
it might be more like 30,000.

and if you go to hospital with appendicitis they are going to swab you and because there is so much about, you will be classed as a covid hospital occupant.

covid has niothing to do with your reasone for being in hospital.

as these numbers surge (and they will), we are going to see heaps of people in hospital who test positive.

it is of no consequence at all.

thank god the wonderful NSW premier understands what the bed wetting beta male cannot understand.

What.... 5 Minute Perrotte? Grin

leading the people of NSW to glory.

so sad WA wont have an ashes test.

it appears to be 10 % to 20 % as bad as delta.

this is a gift.

this is a window of opportunity

catch this as quickly as you can before you get delta

Wonder what the daily Covid cases for Queensland are today (from yesterday, actually)?

Annastacia Palaszczuk - Twitter

Strange... Annastacia... sorry, her social media team has usually announced them long before now.

Might be bad news? And, I'm sure they don't want to ruin everyone's Christmas (well, more than it has been already for lots of people and businesses).
