@CallistaBee@timsout @Pandemic_Times It's pretty quiet in Sydney too, outside of construction hours. I though the point of curfew was to make enforcement easier for the few that are moving around, not that it dramatically decreased movement
@Johnty35524255@JoshBavas@GladysB@nswpolice@LiberalNSW OK to be serious then, on the latest figures to 8pm last night there have been only 59 cases in the past month across the three eastern LGAs. It is under control in these areas. This isn't a Sydney outbreak so much as a South-Western Sydney outbreak (and now western NSW)
@Frank61pc @BenMilt61049906@adamseconomics Also people need food. Huge transmission at the moment from people either A) buying food or B) working in food sales / distribution
@Koustabubbles@Raf_Epstein The first state to encounter a second wave? Are you forgetting that NSW copped your second wave as well, but managed to crush it quickly?
@IngridCiotti@Raf_Epstein In a global context we kind of did beat the virus. Even now our case loads are very low and with vaccinations each COVID case is so much less of a problem than it was in March 2020.
Why are we beating up on ourselves when we've had a dream run, comparatively speaking?
@WordsPatriot Reporting this. Not sure exactly what is depicted, or where, but COVID vaccines aren't approved for or administered to children this age in Australia
@emmajayne05 Not being able to leave Australia, for one.
I'm fine with lockdowns until everyone's had a chance to be vaccinated but being trapped in our own country is some soviet-style sh*t right there
