hooman posted:Has anyone discussed what they're going to do about like children? Are we going to start vaccinating them too, or are we just going to accept that covid is going to hospitalise a bunch of kids. Only Pfizer as far as I am aware is even approved anywhere for anyone under 18 and that approval only goes down to 12. Phase 2 and 3 trials are ongoing and are promising. If the dumb rear end messaging about AZ hadn't created so much vaccine hesitancy we'd have more Pfizer later this year to spare for those kids. And lets hope reglatory approval for under 12 comes by then. Oh and a competent vaccination plan with incentives and a bunch of smart people who actually realise that having a good messaging about the availible vaccines is a good idea rather than half assing the advice and completely failing to correctly communicate the actual science and risks and while I'm wishing for a magical pony how about a federal govt competent enough to pull that off and actually get 80% vaccination rate across the board and a NSW govt that would stop being such loving idiots and actually do a proper lockdown in affected areas and ring of steel Sydney at places like Hornsby, Windsor, Campbelltown, Helensburgh and Penrith so Delta cant get out and we dont drag this present lockdown for months?

The same way Gladys is still relatively liked/electable in Sydney/NSW, but is hated/unelectable by the rest of Australia. Sorry for the myopic-ness of these questions.

Gladys is getting a ton of flack because we've all put up with lockdowns having learned from our experiences that they work, and from Victoria last year what happens when you don't do one early enough. Over the last 18 months I suspect that most Australians have had even less awareness than usual of the overall policies and approaches of other states premiers overall. When things are stressful we are all glued to our particular state/territory announcements, and when they are good people are tuned out of politics apart from watching disasters like NSW this year and Vic last year.

This is my opinion of him as a Victorian too. I can forgive you for your mistakes, even if they get hundreds of people killed, if you... well, not admit to them, no politician will do that, but demonstrate that you learned from them and are changing your policy as a result.

This though, I disagree with. Few Australians knew who McGowan was in 2019 but now he's the poster child for border closures - despite those closures being a) good and enviable, and b) no different from SA's and Tasmania's.

Compared to Gladys. I think a lot of that coverage came from Cliev arc-ing up about it and trying to sue him to force the borders open. EDIT: Or because he's the only Labor premier to close borders and the Feds wanted to demonise him, and accidentally made him a hero because, you know, that was the right call. hooman fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Aug 5, 2021 |

Compared to Gladys. If Gladys came out tomorrow and announced a state wide lockdown for 2 weeks with the only things open being servos super markets and chemists and showed even the political version of admission of failure, It would go a loooong way. She's a human. A lovely LNP human, but a human all the same. Humans make mistakes. Accepting that you failed and learning from it is good. Pretending like you have the toughest lockdown of any state ever when you can still go to Bunnings and the reject shop and making the path out of lockdown the responsibility of the public and victim blaming people for not taking vaccines they can't loving get is pissing off everyone.

Vaccines have been available for so long now that I think the wisdom of reserving them for particular groups has probably passed. Just let anyone get a vaccine, allow bookings for the current priority groups with extra lead time so they can secure a booking easier even if they have to wait. (I.e. any open booking for the current week is open to anyone, any bookings more than a week out reserved for the priority groups)

I would blow Dane Cook posted:I'm guessing that Bunnings is loving packed during the lockdown. Everytime someone online says 'NSW isn't doing a proper hard lockdown, just copy Victoria!' a bunch of people from NSW reply 'What? Nah, it is a hard lockdown, I've barely seen anyone out and about. They're pretty quick when they go into bunnings, not many people browsing, you don't need to click and collect if you're quick. And people are pretty good about their masks too, it's not like you need to wear one when exercising outside anyway'. And I just struggle to wrap my head around their mental gymnastics. Because by contrast, when WA did our lockdown my story was 'I have no idea what other people have been doing because I only left my house to go straight to my job and back - or not at all.'
