I'm honestly astonished and impressed that 10,000+ people in the state are still getting tested every day. Like, wouldn't you just presume at this point that there's no chance you have it, even if you have symptoms? Good on them for doing the right thing, anyhow.

Australian's love nothing more than getting something for free.

It's smart, particularly with so much hayfever happening. All we need is a handful of positive cases running around undetected and shit blows up again.David wrote:I'm honestly astonished and impressed that 10,000+ people in the state are still getting tested every day.

I'm heading up to NSW the day the border opens and I'm taking the old girl to get us both testex a few days before hand
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

It’s probably mostly workplace testing, there are a few high risk industries that have to test their workforce regularlyDavid wrote:I'm honestly astonished and impressed that 10,000+ people in the state are still getting tested every day.

Scummo has had sweet bugger-all to do with it. He has had to be pushed and shamed into every significant decision by the various state premiers, who have all made mistakes but been generally very good - and I say that without any party political axe to grind: there are three Liberal premiers and three Labor.eddiesmith wrote:Aren’t we lucky in Australia we’ve got a competent PM and federal government who navigated us through this crisis better than the rest of the world.

Oh yes that old chestnut, where Dan brought the PM around only to go his seperate way?Tannin wrote:Scummo has had sweet bugger-all to do with it.

Can’t deny we’ve had a highly successful national strategy that 5 premiers and 2 chief ministers adopted and it worked.
The fact the only premier to go against the national strategy completely $@&^# it up shows how good the National strategy was. Well done ScoMo, but instead people want to say well done Dan for getting to the same spot as every other state 6 months late, lol.
