I hadn’t realised that I’ve been thinking about this for a long time but this is absolutely right. (Altho my wife still won’t let me put a gargoyle on the house…) beauty vs character 😵‍💫

absolutely agree, numbers ⬆️ as state numbers ⬇️ double vaccination rates in the 50 to 60% ballpark and end of lockdown looming next week, this is concerning 😟 – at Newcastle, New South Wales
On a personal note, I would like to see the gravity of the situation in the Hunter reflected in the @NSWHealth pressers. The region represents a sixth of the state's total new cases today. We are not tracking well right now.

Terrible terrible management by this in charge to allow this to go ahead with workers from Sydney to allow a large multinational company to continue to earn. Why why why @GladysB @NSWHealth. Why does this compete with the safety/health of people in the hunter . Clue 💵 💰 💵

Unsurprisingly, after weeks of telling people “just follow the rules” it’s now clear it’s not working. What is the NSW government doing to better understand the gap between lockdown-as-imagined vs lockdown-as-done so we can design better interventions to improve the situation?

I have not seen any credible evidence a 50% vaccination rate (even 50% fully vaccinated) would be sufficient to safely ease restrictions without a huge upsurge in cases. Is this a typo? Please release data/modelling. And expected hospitalisations/deaths. smh.com.au/politics/nsw/bere…

In terms of COVID admissions, Its worth remembering that a small percentage of a very large number can be bigger than a large percentage of a much smaller number. And given that a small percentage of the young and vaccinated will need hospital... – at Countess Wear, England
