Sydney is no.1 in the world now !
粘贴网友感言～
今天早上，看到新州的新增数字又创新高，按耐不住内心的八卦，于是通过一道算术题，让自己一直以来觉得风景 这边还好的认知，彻底被遮破，与大家分享如下：
美国的人口是3.295亿，今天的新冠日新增创新高约102万；日新增人数和人口总数的百分比0.0031 ；英国的人口数6722万，今天新增约18.7万，日新增和人口数的百分比是大约0.0028；新州人口8 16.6万，今天新增3.8万，日新增和人口数的百分比越是0.0046。
比较一下，美国百分比是0.0031，英国0.0028，新州0.00429。
排名次：新州第一，美国第二，英国屈居第三。
综上所述，再也不要说美国英国的数字高了，澳洲的新南威尔士州才是独领风骚呢[Awkward]

Shame not all of us on the forum can read what I'm guessing is Cantonese
Still blaming Labor after how many years ??
Think you did a typo there but I get your point. The problem with the RAT reporting is, the Gov can breath fire and threaten people with fines, but at the end of the day only those who stand to benefit from reporting a positive test will come forward. People who are really sick and need medical attention, people who can get paid sick leave, etc.
Anybody else, like for example a self employed tradie having mild symptoms, wouldn’t want to report it because they stand to lose income if they have to go into iso.
Agree with you there Bro.
This is the part where I don't understand some ppl. If in a bet, you have lost 9 times in a row betting on Big. Some ppl want to continue to put their money on Big ???
Surely with the long list of policy failures we have seen and lived in. It's time to cut off the cancer and give the new drug a chance.
Agree +3

Thanks to Domicron we are the Good Standard of the world.
He literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory mate.
There are less people in Hospital and ICU now compared to Sept Delta outbreak.....
The MEDIA have you all in a panic and have done a great job on you.
I don't remember the daily death count being 15+ regularly even during delta...
Maybe I am wrong.. But I think tbis is the highest daily death rate nsw has seen at any time during the pandemic.
Besides I doubt everyone is in a "panic" they are just exercising "personal responsibility" as the premier and pm repeatedly asked!

That's because it's so prevalent in the community compared to any other time in the past. So a 90 year old, with dementia and heart failure would of died of natural causes 3 months ago but now is far more likely to get covid and is considered covid case.
It's the same reason why 30-50% of hospitalisations are incendental, they're showing up for different reasons get tested for admission and now is a covid hospitalisation. This has been shown in several studies done at different hospitals.
This is the thing about the media, they give no context or nuance. It's basically fear porn.
Not less people in hospital and ICU in absolute terms, but as a % of the caseload, DEFINITELY. I’ve been a staunch advocate for vaccination since the beginning, have followed all of the health advice (except seeing an ML during lockdown), but I think now it’s absurd to change our behaviour based on the fear of getting covid (unless you’re over 60, then perhaps more justified). It’s just such a different situation than 2 years ago, with a range of effective treatments, including a vaccine!
Interestingly enough I was looking the other day at average death count for flu/pneumonia in Australia per annum, and I was surprised it was so high - 4737 if my memory is correct. Over a 4 month period that equates to roughly 40 deaths per day. Or averaged out over an entire year it would be around 11 per day. Hard to imagine Omicron ever having that kind of impact over a sustained period, even when allowed to spread unchecked. I know there are other factors to consider, and I’m being a little reductionist…
but it feels like at some point along the way we completely lost perspective and a sense of scale (of what we gave up/continue to give up). Not to mention a basic understanding of risk.
Or maybe I’m wrong, I am still open to that possibility lol. I’m just fucking sick of this virus continuing to have such an impact on our lives.

Same here, sick and tired of this virus. In fact, I think it’s safe to assume a big proportion of the population are on the same boat as us. Even fellow forum members here are changing their tune when previously they were happy to obey the health orders.Not less people in hospital and ICU in absolute terms, but as a % of the caseload, DEFINITELY.

I think people do want to get on with their lives, but the morbid fact is the pandemic is actually causing people to get sick and not be able to participate in the economy. It’s the same effect as lockdown I suppose.
Yeah, it’s worse than lockdown actually, not just for the lack of govt support, but the sheer unpredictability. And for businesses in my industry that supply perishable product to the hospitality industry, the level of unpredictability is devastating. And can’t be sustained for long.
On another note, did you hear that real estate agents are on the list of essential workers? What a joke lol. For any real estate agents I might’ve offended here, I’m not sorry

The effect on the economy as a result of people getting sick and not working might be shorter and I would assume far less expensive than hard lockdowns, the amount of time it takes for the individual to recover/isolate and get back to work or once the peak is over, which will hopefully be in a couple of weeks.Yeah, it’s worse than lockdown actually, not just for the lack of govt support, but the sheer unpredictability.

If it's a hard lockdown it could potentially last several more months longer by "flattening the curve". The govt will then have to use taxes to pay billions and billions of dollars to businesses over several months in an economy that is already shitting its pants.
We simply cant keep doing lockdowns every year and we can't keep giving boosters to everyone every 6 months especially while 10% of poor nations citizens barley have one dose potentially leading to new variants on our shores. We need to do something different, time will tell if having massive amounts of natural immunity will help.
Haha real estate agents need to pay off their BMW'S some how.
Gotta keep that property bubble pumping no matter what, right? lolYeah, it’s worse than lockdown actually, not just for the lack of govt support, but the sheer unpredictability.
