My partner is immunosuppressed for rheumatoid arthritis using a TNF-alpha inhibitor and had similar concerns. Both she and I had two doses of Pfizer and then four weeks later had antibodies testing performed. We both had a “normal” response to the vaccine for the antibodies expected, I think IgG? I’m not a doctor, she’s a GP. She had zero reactions to the doses and was concerned that it wouldn’t have worked but all seems good. I know, it’s anecdata, but info is hard to come by.

Tommunist posted:Im sorry your situation sucks but the blame lies at the fault of a federal government who refused to consider better quarantine locations and who have failed to deliver timely vaccine. Cutting incoming caps seems a prudent decision given none of these states want to be locked down. The federales have been very successful in making quarantine a state issue when it is clearly the responsibility of the commonwealth, according to section section 51 of the constitution. Unless the power to make laws doesn’t include the power to give a poo poo, or offer any practical solutions whatsoever.

The lovely part is the pure politics of the whole thing. Sure vaccines will have issues, particularly ones developed rapidly or using new technology such as mRNA. But we’ve had “gold standards” vs “unnecessary lockdowns”, “Dictator Dan”. Or Morrison’s mission accomplished style announcements about securing vaccine supply when he hadn’t. Or it isn’t a race. The mixed messaging on essential workers. Blaming ATAGI. Blaming under 40s for non-compliance with lockdowns but not providing financial support. Criticising vaccine hesitancy by groups ineligible to get a vaccine until recently or unable to get an appointment.

Case in loving point yesterday, Gladys didn’t mention anything about a statewide lockdown at the 11am presser - Barilaro let regional MPs know who then fed it out via Twitter. Many people in Regional NSW found out at 3:30 - 4:00pm that they were going in to lockdown at 5pm. It had been expected for some time but the way it was handled was unnecessarily bad.

Konomex posted:So now that NSW has given up even trying to contact trace the Sydney area, how close to collapse is the hospital system there? At what amount of cases do people start dying on the street? I assume they've got that modelled. When does Gladys start to panic? There are 85ish current NSW ICU cases that are COVID-19 related, out of a reported ICU bed capacity of 500, although I’ve also seen 800 as the reported capacity. Usually an average ICU stay is usually under a week because you go back to a ward or, well, die. We are seeing COVID patients stay in ICU for 3 weeks or more. I think we’ll have issues with lack of trained ICU staff at some point. NSW Health claims to be able to quadruple ICU capacity in a surge but I doubt there are staff sitting around just waiting for a phone call. The reports of long term side effects from prolonged ventilator use are worrying. The apparent cognitive decline could result in a further increase in coalition voters.

TheLastRoboKy posted:I can see why you post your doomsdaying here because you'd never fit all this on a sandwich board. After posting yesterday I read up a bit more on NSW ICU capacity and surge capacity. There are 800 or so ICU beds available and that can surge to 2500. But… Some of that surge is “ICU ready” beds in the hospital that can be used pretty much straightaway, whilst a lot is “ICU adjacent” beds that can be commandeered into a quasi ICU capability if needed. Think high dependency units, cardiac care units, surgery recovery beds etc. Those beds are currently being used for their regular function - they are not unused wards and wings of hospitals waiting to swing into action. And then how do you staff them all? Also, beds does not equal ventilators of which NSW had under 1000 ventilators available across the state.

I don’t know if that’s the case, I would expect that NSW Libs to be in a better position than the feds even with the bungles. ALP is non existent in NSW at the moment. Frankly I’m surprised feds didn’t use this as an opportunity to swoop in, “save the day” and take credit. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pure Morrison petulance.

bowmore posted:polls don't mean anything reminder number 10,000+ Agree with the sentiment but I'm genuinely curious if any of the major pollsters have changed their methodology since the last election. I know there was post election analysis that showed significant "herding" and that the breakdown of the poll results indicates the polling was overall not too bad 2PP but that 2PP doesn't translate into seats, i.e. Labor was picking up voters in seats that were already Labor.

So Scromo has just announced that we're receiving 4 million extra Pfizer doses from UK in the next month. Along with the 0.5m from Singapore, maybe the odds are in fact shortening for an election in the next couple of months. He will go with a narrative of "on track for re-opening" or similar with the usual "don't change horses now" crap. There's a trip to Washington for defence meetings in either Oct/Nov so that may be a factor in possible times for a poll.

International freight has been hugely impacted by covid, but supply chains are dependent on it so it's going to continue irrespective of the risks. Don't forget that the initial stages of the outbreak were poorly handled because the NSW Premier had gone all in on "No more lockdowns".

NSW is not a forever LNP hellstate - Labor were in power 1941 - 1964, 1976 - 1987 and again 1995 - 2010. Both majors have had relatively equal air time. Sure there was a lot of stink around corruption in the last ten years but that's baked in to NSW politics for all parties. NSW is a hellstate regardless of who is on the treasury benches.

Phigs posted:Labor haven't had a strong opposition presence since Rudd in 06-07. Maybe they just aren't trying, but I feel like the media has changed a bit since then and are getting better at not platforming Labor. Interesting to see some actual anti-Morrison articles cropping up in News outlets (news.com.au was running pretty hard on the fathers day trip) and the recent announcement to soften tone on climate change across the whole News Corpse stable. Is Moloch sniffing the wind and trying to stay relevant? His core demographic has slowly been dying off. There have been a few analytical pieces on Guardian, SMH etc on the recent change of tack. Rupert backed Blair and Kevin'07 so weathervaning is not out of character for him.
