That's amazingly ridiculous. GPs should just print off a flyer that tells people to call 000 if they are having trouble breathing or the department of health number for all other enquiries. Also include a brochure for funeral planning and life insurance.

freebooter posted:Which part of what I said was inaccurate for the majority of Australians, who don't live in NSW? Well since you asked: quote:I'm going to assume from this post that you're either in NSW or you're in one of the COVID-zero states WA is now the only COVID-zero state. Most of the country has opened up internal borders to travellers and has rapidly growing numbers. quote:and are consuming Sydney-centric media and assuming that this whole country is going to behave like NSW. I'm not, however this worst case scenario assumes such a thing (and is indeed part of the point of it, to not do that) so this is irrelevant. quote:Restrictions aren't non-existent: you need to wear a mask indoors in most of the country, you need to show proof of vaccination to do much of anything in most of the country, you need to QR check-in in most of the country. See above regarding this being the worst case warning. quote:Contact tracing has not collapsed in most of the country; I know several people here in Victoria who recently had to self-isolate and get tested because they were at contact sites This is a worst case scenario prediction for over a month from now. If cases keep growing then how well tracing was working 5-6 weeks prior is irrelevant. Looking at daily case reports the number of cases with sources still under investigation is growing each day, and the listed dates on exposure dates are dragging back further and further. There simply isn't the manpower to properly trace thousands of new daily cases, and the percentage of tests returning positives continuing to climb suggests increasing numbers of undetected cases. quote:(and I know many more people who are skipping social events over the next few days so they don't get infected or pinged before Christmas). Yes, same. However what does this have to do with worst case scenarios for over a month later? quote:None of the currently COVID-zero states are going to be any less stringent, not even the Liberal-governed ones. As above, which Covid-zero states other than WA are you referring to here? quote:"Let her rip" is America where half the government is culture warring against vaccines. This ain't Pre-booster vaccine numbers seem to do little to stop the spread of Omicron. You are correct that we won't hit those numbers, because if we do more restrictions will come into place Morrison's promises be damned, however the forecast was specifically a worst case scenario where that doesn't happen, to warn why they might be needed, and nothing you wrote addresses any issues with the modelling.

one thing that kind of irks me is that mcdonalds are supposed to require a proof of vacc (i'm surprised fast food counts as non-essential but whatever) but from what I can tell they have absolutely expended no effort whatsoever to ensure this might even be nominally applied.

For entry or employment? I know that to sit down and eat there you need proof, but I'm surprised that they're not enforcing jab mandates for employees. I just assume that corporate fast food places would have that because they're the only restaurants I've seen in the last month where everyone behind the counter still wears a mask.

I mean for entry. I eat there a lot when I'm doing landscaping jobs and I've never seen anyone ask anyone for proof of checkin while i've been there in the last week, let alone actually bother to check the app for proof of vaxx. I remember in the first month of checkins being a thing there was some nominal effort but since then I haven't seen anyone out from behind a counter to check, or any kind of security put on to do so. No checks at the counter either although even that would be a half measure given the self serve kiosks.

Sorry, I misunderstood you, I thought you were arguing that we in fact will hit those numbers rather than saying the modelling would be accurate under those specific worst-case deliberate let-her-rip scenarios (which I agree it could be, though probably still wouldn't be because once we got to significant numbers a large chunk of the populace would take it upon themselves to behave more cautiously).

Is there a hotline in Queensland where we can report businesses that aren’t checking vax status to the police? Because there needs to be.

A funny observation I just had: they should just let Netflix take control of the COVID pandemic, given they never let anything run past three seasons.

So if you're ordering take away they wouldn't need to check. Everything gets packaged up for take away most of the time now so I'd imagine that just helps them feign ignorance and not have to deal with staff getting abused for denying some anti vaxxer.

It's one thing to say businesses must check vaccination status, it's totally another to give them absolutely no power to do anything about it. "Uh, sir, please leave." "NO!" Not worth getting spat on or thrown down an escalator for minimum wage for a company that doesn't care if you live or die.

Also, doesn't Australia have the highest incidence of melanoma in the world? So we don't mandate sunscreen and hats and people die because they don't do it...Sounds familiar but I just can't quite put my finger on what else this is similar to...
