Dan is pretty straight to the word. He doesn't talk a lot of smoke and shadows behind the window.

Yeah, the no home visitors one is interesting. On the surface it's supported by data but only if you don't understand the data.

i'd expect them to drop that fairly soon after a short period of no local cases out of isolation.

Health authorities have identified a shopping mall in Sydney's south-west as "a key venue of concern" amid fears customers could have been exposed to COVID-19 there for 11 days.

Agree that might only be for another Week as long as No New Community Cases.

Guess no Masks needed at people's homes why they are Cautious about it

Well in Australia you get no Extra Freedom when Fully Vaccinated at the Moment

Good to hear you be Fully Vaccinated

[stui magpie]

5 days of hanging on the cliff to see if the NT opens up to Vic so I can go or have to cancel.

Sooner they introduce freedom for the fully vaccinated the better, the biggest problem we have isn't supply it's vaccine reluctance.

Agree that Fully Vaccinated people should not be so Tightly Lockdown but Doubt they do anything like that Until at least 50% of People are Vaccinated

4 week extension to the NSW lockdown to be announced today - to August 28. The ABC is reporting it, so it is almost certainly correct.

Here's a tale of the extreme stupidity and selfishness that necessitates lockdowns and restrictions on movement:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-28/ ... /100325698

Also, here's a useful explanation from the ABC about why that is. In short, lockdowns work but the earlier you introduce a hard lockdown, the better. The suggestion is that each day of delay means an extra week of lockdown. The article gently queries whether Sydney has a proper lockdown (because the "essential worker" definition is way too broad). The article also touches on the role of accident (which people happen to get infected first in a particular outbreak, in circumstances where most transmission is actually caused by a small percentage of infected people).

In Victoria, 8 new local cases. The Government says that "All new locally-acquired cases are linked to the current outbreaks, and all were in quarantine throughout their entire infectious period."
