quote:

NSW's Delta death toll reached 100 and more than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases were recorded for the fifth consecutive day as Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the state had done "very well"

"I know that people will not believe me when I say this, but we have done very well to keep the case numbers where they are, given our population, given the spread," Ms Berejiklian said.

"In fact if you look at the trajectory of where Victoria's case numbers are going, I will let people make those comparisons themselves, but having been through this, we know how quickly case numbers get up to where we are now.

"And, had we not taken the measures we had, they would have been much higher."

Love to work in super lovely insecure work while studying and just not be able to pay bills and be totally let down by both the federal and States governments inability to support people through the loving plague.

There's nowhere near enough aim being taken at scomo and the federal government for botching the vaccine rollout so incredibly badly imo. Singapore is hitting (or has hit?) 90% vax of total population and we're here still floundering. A friend here in ACT 16-29 age group just booked his first jab - two loving months lead time

You don't get credit for slowing the spread of a large fire when you were the one telling people it was fine to pour petrol everywhere around a bunch of smaller fires.

Armadale Hospital ED was down 8 staff the other night, my sister in law was stuck in the isolation work for 9 hours by herself, no support, no toilet break and nothing to drink. There is literally no one to back these people up. She is looking for jobs outside of nurse now, because she knows it is not going to get better. She is one of the most highest trained and capable ED nurses in the country.

I am a volly ambo in the wheatbelt, transfer times are blowing out because when we drive all the way to the city there is no one to receive the patient. Vollys are out of town for up to 12 hours at a time, which is ridiculous, we have family, jobs and commitments, so no one if doing the transfers now, we are only responding to emergencies and maybe RFDS flight, but one of them blew out to 7 hours and 3 different country airports the other night. The ambulances in the city are constantly needing maintenance because all of the equipment in it is charge by the alternator from the ambulance driving around. They are spending so much time ramped, up to 9 hours, the are running out of charge. Remember we can't leave the ambulance even to go the toilet because if something happens our partner has to deal with it on their own. It is getting to the point where if you call for help, we are gonna be a while, cause we are all at the hospital.

The worst part is everyone we tell doesn't believe us and tell us Mark McGowen is doing a great job, it is infuriating. Then rather than fix his poo poo and goes out and makes statements bagging the gently caress out of all the other leaders. The prick had the gall last election to announce a 1.5 billion surplus when the health system was a dumpster fire. The dude is running Donald Trumps playbook but he is competent.

Do we even have good quarantine procedures now to keep the next potential variant out?

from what i was told, they put up a notice with examples of acceptable facial hair, they all chose one of the accepted styles, and then the next day the manager came in and sent them all home.

he could have just asked them to shave?
