Centusin posted:I can't believe that telephoto lens photos of people outside was still enough to convince people that it's a nothing lockdown, it's just permanently April 2020 in Auspol I guess. If you look at the recent google mobility data you'll see -33% for retail and recreation spaces, -18% for parks, -62% for public transport and -35% for workplaces, that's for all of NSW and many places aren't in lockdown. There's been so many photos of people outside at Bondi floating around, but the Waverley council area is -50% in all areas except supermarkets which are -30%. This sort of lockdown seems to have restricted mobility and didn't involve human rights violations by locking people in public housing towers on short notice and never apologising for it. Hrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm https://twitter.com/juliette_io/status/1412604628584206342?s=20 Here we can compare two recent lock downs. I ask the thread to come to its own conclusion s based on the evidence.

Tommunist posted:Hrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Isn't the conclusion what I posted? Considering I was never comparing which lockdown was the most lockdown, I was just stating that it's disingenuous to refer to it as a 'mockdown' when there has clearly been a decrease in all areas. Grocery shopping was well above baseline pre-lockdown, and is now at baseline levels. For example, pre lockdown Bankstown was +40% compared to Baseline and is now +15%. The drop would be even bigger if the lockdown was state wide, but it isn't and hopefully won't need to be.

How long they’d need to keep this style of lockdown to achieve elimination of community transmission given delta strain though, who the gently caress knows but it doesn’t look great.I also think there’s a big chance given comments by the Premier and Health Minister that they’ll do something incredibly loving stupid like say we’ve stabilised at 20 cases a day so we can loosen restrictions and get some real exponential growth going

Sounds like they might expand the business grants to under $75k. Thank gently caress, because I'm sitting here at home watching case numbers go up in the busiest time of my year, making absolutely zero income. I don't understand why they can't just turn JobKeeper into "Lockdowm Payment" (they should have done for Melbourne, but, you know, now it's affecting me) but I knew that the comprehensive covid rescue back in 2020 was directly a result of their own pants-making GBS threads fear and not out of actual concern for living humans. It's super short sighted because it doesn't take an economist with 6 months of data to tell you there is a direct link between how much they are willing to support people and how seriously they will take lockdown measures.

Numbers look... worsening for NSW. I reckon Federal LNP will announce some form of assistance to NSW and we will be in a proper lockdown by Monday, if not earlier. If they let it out of the bag like Hazzard suggests, they'll lose both Federal and State elections. Edit: This is on top of face masks being mandatory for those attending school next week, could be a big wake up call to the community when they get whiff their little loved ones are being affected.

There is an alternate universe out there where Gladys resigned for one of her numerous scandals and Perrottet is the premier and runs with a let-her-rip strategy and half the media goes along with it because Sydney of course is too big to fail
