I m stupid ��. I still can't work it out. Tell me.

If you were earning good cash money at work what would you do?

[GoldfishMan]

If you were earning good cash money at work what would you do?
Especially true when there are no longer cash handouts from the Gov.
I don’t blame them. Almost every recent change by the gov has been to shoehorn people into going back to work. Think you’re down with Covid? Or you’ve got a positive RAT result? Relax, you’ve got no symptoms, you can go back to work.

[wilisno]

The Hong Kong people are very self disciplined in Covid safe in general. It’s the government policies of all those exemptions which keep leaking out high risk domestic workers and air crews out to the community. Bloody Cathay Pacific should be fined very heavily for the stuff up and those crew members who broke the health orders should be criminal charged.

They will stop the Omicron alright as they won’t be hesitated to shut it all down , and if they don’t , Chinese authorities will step in.
It works in HongKong and some Asian countries, but not in western democracy countries…

Was she three months late or something, if we had a tough enough Covid safe policy, we won’t be seeing 70K+ cases every day now won’t we ?

Yeh...for sure...went for my first FS punt in 12 months at N5M yesterday. Great punt, will do an AR soon.

Why? Aren't you still punting? Aren't you triple jabbed and wear a mask? What are you scared about?
Yes it’s strange world we live in now. I shouldn’t be worried, yet I am. You should be worried, yet you’re not. Go figure.

Why is it, btw, that farts to fartees always stink but only very rarely to the farter?

I guess the farter is used to his own smell, that’s how the olfaction works. Like a garbo can tolerate the smell all day, but we can’t even follow a garbage truck. ;) ;) ;)

[schloong]

I was under the impression that the reason farts smell is so that deaf people can appreciate them too! hehe

[GoldfishMan]

Why is it, btw, that farts to fartees always stink but only very rarely to the farter?
Interesting question! They actually did some research on this and found that it's because when you fart, your brain automatically goes into "fart expectation mode", so it dulls your sense of smell. Here's a link:
http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2015/06/peoples-farts-smell-worse/

I personally think this was a flawed study. The real reason MUST be, because our arseholes are at the opposite end of our bodies from our noses. Our farts are aimed AWAY from our noses, as mother nature intended!

This would elegantly explain why, when you fart into your doona, you're gonna cop it as much as your partner.

Granted, same with NSW, plenty positives were backlog due to delays in pathology testing but still, all these cases are current and live cases in our community.

Can't blame them for not wanting to mix it up with us. They've either been very lucky or very good at keeping their numbers down. They also stand to gain very little from opening up borders because their tourism/hospitality industries are extremely small compared their main earner which is mining.

Lots of quotes about governments ect, so if ypu are in government, what would your programme to tackling the current situation be? Everybody says oh government this government that. But when pushed to say what they would like to see they dont know. Offer your solution, you will find that not eveyone will agree, put it out there let us see your solution to navigate the crisis.

Well for one thing, they could’ve lifted lockdown without doing away with the other precautions like social distancing, mask wearing, contact tracing.

I don’t know about you, but I would’ve been happy just to have everything opened. Those precautions were merely annoying, I could live with them and would’ve welcomed them if it meant we could really effectively “live with Covid” and not have to go back to lockdown because we could better manage the situation.

[Jamez11]

It is people that spread the virus, not the government. The government can't legislate against stupidity.

It's a highly contagious respiratory virus and as primates we tend to be social animals, put the 2 together and this is what happens independent of the govt or the 'stupidity' of people who end up getting the virus.

[Climax598]

It is people that spread the virus, not the government. The government can't legislate against stupidity.
But government can legislate to control stupid people. That's why we have laws and regulations to control stupid people.

45K cases in NSW overnight, Victoria has a massive jump from 21K yesterday and now overtaken NSW with 51K.

I think the government has either lost the plot or given up ?The Vic jump was because they opened the portal to register positive RATs. At least half those number were RATs over the past week.

So real number is probably closer to 25-30K

Even if you barricaded everyone in their homes your not going to stop the spread now.

Omri is relatively more mild and anyone with half a brain is double or triple vacced.

[rooter]

The real figure in NSW is probably 150,000 to 200,000 new cases daily.
Nobody knows for sure. But clearly a lot of cases are not showing up in the official stats.
A lot of people are not gonna line up for 5 hours to get tested.
Home testing kits don’t show up in the stats at all in NSW.
Even if you create an app like in Victoria most people won’t bother to upload their results.
And anyway there are no kits left in the shops to buy anyway
Then there are people who won’t bother getting tested because they only have mild symptoms.
And then there are people who won’t get tested because a positive result will mean they have to quarantine and can’t work, travel etc.
So hundreds of thousands of covid positive people are not showing up in the official stats.
With such high daily figures most of the population is gonna get covid now.
Unless you lock yourself in your home and don’t allow any visitors you are most likely gonna get it.
Best thing you can do is get vaxed and get the booster and hopefully you will only have mild symptoms, which is the case with the vast majority of vaxed people.

That was the plan all along. Get the majority vaxxed and let it rip. Duminic just did it a tad to early.

[fted]

Domicron completely ignored what was happening overseas and leaned into the latest outbreak just as it was taking off, the dumbass. They could've opened up and left some restrictions in place, but let it RIP instead.
He and the other right wing nut jobs are all about "the economy", not saving people's lives, but didn't stop to think that ill/dead/worried people don't go out much, including to work.

[Climax598]

Wow! Duminic and Domicron that a good one. Yap he never like the lockdown remember he want to reduce CMO pay for locking down northern beaches Dec 2020.

Since we’re playing with names, looks like Novaxx Djokovic had a positive test result on 16 December, 6 days after the deadline for vaccination status submission to compete in the AO.
People are understandably asking if he “planned” to get Covid to bypass the vaccine requirements. Maybe he attended a “Covid party”, it’s the latest thing in Europe.

All of Sydney is a "covid party" now. Just walk to the shopping centre and you will get infected, then take a week off work, rest, chill out, drink iced tea, and it's over and done with, then get on with your life without any stress ... until the next mutation comes along :) I like the sound of Kappa for the next one.

No joke. I also found there’s a bug in the NSW service app. At around 4:30pm yesterday, I visited 2 shops within a period of 15 minutes. I got Covid alerts pop up for both shops at 4:43pm, even the shop I was still in at the time! How’s that even possible?
A positive case went to the same shop as I did while infected?

It's everywhere now bro. The real figures are maybe 4 or 5 times more than the official statistics.
Up until mid December I only knew one person who had covid among my circle of family, friends, work mates, acquaintances etc.
Now I know of at least 10 people who have had it or have it, but they are not close contacts.
Maybe I have already had it myself? I don't know. I have had three jabs and am pretty healthy, so maybe I had it already with no symptoms or really mild symptoms and just thought it was a hangover.
Get yourself jabbed ASAP, and follow all the rules, just out of respect for yourself and others, but don't stress over it.

[dotcumdotinyou]

According to the app every place I've visited in the last 2 weeks has a covid alert

A new variant has been discovered in Cyprus. It's the combination of the last two variants. If anyone thinks covid19 will go away then keep dreaming.

[GoldfishMan]

I noticed there’s a marked reduction in people out and about in the city. The restaurant I went to to pick up my takeaway order was completely empty, not a single customer in sight and not busy at all with takeaway orders either. It was never this quiet even during lockdown.
Also noticed the pubs all around the CBD are not doing much better either, really devoid of customers, even over the weekend
Not to mention punting grounds. As I mentioned in another thread, a girl I saw last week said their shop business is down real bad, less than half what they normally do.

It all makes me wonder if the high case and hospitalisation numbers are really the things keeping people at home, or are people really getting sick with the virus, so sick that they can’t even come out? I mean you really have to think like one of those brave souls. Would case numbers at 50k a day strike enough fear in you to make you stay at home, when you were previously happy to do mass protests and what nots to demand freedom?

I find it hard to believe any of them would fear the stats, as bad as they are. So the only logical explanation is, they ARE those stats!

Was just talking to my friend in Coogee who had let his 10yr old kid have a sleepover and caught Omicron. Now the kid is asymptomatic. But the whole family now has Omicron and is having high fever and severe muscle aches including the 75 yr old grandma who is now in hospital.

So when they say how mild Omicron is and you only get a slight sniffles. Those are the lucky ones. Imagine all those poor souls out there, nurses, delivery drivers, waiters, bus & train drivers, and the rest (if we go by 5 times the last number of positive figure about 50K, there would be around 250K). We get this "worst than lockdown" scenario and a city with no customers spending.

Stay safe bros.

If you believe that would mean something like 40% of Sydney has caught it I the last 2wks and the health system is still (just) holding up.

But more importantly means spread in the next few months will be reduced as the obvious candidates have already caught it.

Certainly from friends I know very few with kids in the late teen/ young adult category haven't had it cross their family.

The jury's still out about acquired immunity against Omicron. It may have been effective against previous variants like Delta, but the latest study shows that Omicron has an "immune escape" characteristic due to its mutations. It makes antibodies from both vaccination and naturally by having had it before, less effective at preventing a re-infection.

I think before confirming that getting it once really does help you not get it again, we should at least try not to get it at all.

What are the ICU stats and trend? That would seem to be the most objective measure of severity.

[AHLUNGOR]

NSW reported 92K new cases overnight as 61K positive RAT were now added to the daily total.

Victoria has 37K new cases with 16K from RAT.

Nevertheless, that’s nearly 130K new cases just from two States, our figures are now very similar to those worst hit countries in the world . Already beating the UK !

It's true. This is the same guy who didn't take his own vaccine stating that the rest of the world should be given priority and he can wait a while.

Haha it makes it even more interesting to see what's in the 450,000 page report that the FDA wanted to release over 75 years. It would of took 35 times longer to release the report than to make the actual vaccine lol.

... the NHI (NIH)... potentially funded gain of function research in sars covid 2 on bats in the Wuhan lab?
Rand Paul tried to assert that (among other Covid misinformation), but it's not true.

Dr Fauci took Moderna himself, figure that one out as well?

Did the syringe bend like Kamala Harris' syringe when she wanted to show she was getting the vaccine? Google it if the clip is still available. Maybe Google or YouTube have removed it.

Who's fact checking the fact checkers? Have you even bothered trying to find information yourself? Have you've seen the information that is now coming out? Have you've seen the emails?

Don't just believe what I say, do some research and try thinking for yourself instead of relying on "fact checkers"

FYI that link was from May 2021.

Australia with over two millions Covid cases has now over taken Japan and next will pass Vietnam and reach the top 30 most infected country in the world.

NSW alone will reach 1,000,000 cases on our own sometimes next week.

Remember the Gold Standard the Glady's was talking about. Do worry we will make it. We just like to bit and be the first and the best. The only thing we are not in the top die yet.

Remember the Gold Standard the Glady's was talking about. Do worry we will make it. We just like to bit and be the first and the best. The only thing we are not in the top die yet.But that was always the plan.

Lockdown and shutout until a significant proportion of the population had been vaccinated and then open up.
Key goal had always been about keeping hospitalisations under control, which we've done.

If we had these number with an unvaccinated population earlier on, it would have been a disaster.

What we've got know is about the same as a bad flu season after a couple of good years

[CharlieM]

Coronavirus - should we punters here in Sydney be concerned since many come from China?

FMD! Tomorrow marks exactly 2 years since Shamrock started this thread.
This week saw this thread disappear off the first page in "General" and like a new Covid strain, its back here again. Dominic tried to hide the gloom and doom in yesterday's press conference by still trying to sell a Vaccine to a State that is one of the highest Vaccinated places in the World. He was optimistic that the numbers in ICU were dropping but he didn't explain that the reason for the reduction in numbers was probably due to the fact that an odd couple hundred of the infected had left ICU in body bags.

[PervySage]

due to the fact that an odd couple hundred of the infected had left ICU in body bags.

Sheesh you are stickler for details...

Dom solved the problem with testing...

Now he will solve the problem of hospitalisation by getting people to manage this through GP / home...

And if someone dies at home... Well they didn't get to ICU did they! Thst will solve our ICU crisis.

100% my reasoning aswell. We Punters are more capable of thinking outside of the box(pun...sorry). Poor Dominic has been plugging the same hole for way to long. I would be happy to shout him a 60 min Diamond session at N5M. I'm sure it would relax him heaps and more than likely he would start seeing the world through our eyes and then make positive changes to guide us out of this turmoil.

Hey Dom, if your reading this, the first one is on me, but then you're on your own buddy.

[Ziggurat]

Had my Moderna booster yesterday and today I've got one of those low grade but annoying one or two day lasting headaches that to my despair viagra or any of the sex enhancement drugs also gives me. :cry:

[dotcumdotinyou]

The plan was always to open up once we hit 80%, even Queensland is staying open now.

[dotcumdotinyou]

Hey Zigg...you're not alone all the enhancement drugs give me a dull headache for a couple of days as well.

[imaragingbull]

One day the fear mongering will end. WA can be its own country at this rate… it’s already so fractured and sad.

[mustyincognito]

Is it really fearmongering though? People made informed decisions and it seems like the majority just decided that the risk of catching covid and suffering its complications is too much. Wasn't WA's health service under stretch even without a significant number of covid cases like here in NSW?

[Yvves12345]

Has anyone been contacted after visiting a brothel this year, and told to isolate?

The reason for asking is that I'm not sure how a personal covid-positive contact will be treated, after all, the visit will be less that 3 hours, and not a 'home type' environment.

We all get lots of messages on the Service NSW App telling us someone was positive at a location, but only to 'monitor for symptoms'.

Makes a difference if personally contacted, especially if having to explain to work why the need to isolate (wouldn't want to show something which clearly identifies the venue!).

[Ziggurat]

What is it with China? Locking down, squashing the economy, trade being held up, making goods expensive. They are dictators, haven't they already dictated that everyone gets vaccinated? Every other country has vaccinated their way out of lockdowns. They are trying to dictate to the virus and it couldn't give a ***k. They are standing on a beach with their hands out trying to hold back the tide. It's insanity.

Have become friends with a girl who had a chain of education businesses in China that have all gone under because of the govts policies, she's lost everything basically, she's trying to remain positive about the whole thing but fuck that must be devastating, and that must be happening on a large scale over there.

It must be devastating for her to lose everything. I hope she hasn't turned to you for financial support.

No no, nothing like that, thankfully.
I mean, plenty have done it tough here as well, not for a second taking anything away from them, there are lots of hard luck stories from the past 2 years and I am acutely aware of how fortunate I have been through it all, really only complaining about cabin fever during lockdown and a couple of work trips to exotic locales cancelled, but that was the first real first hand account of what had been going on in China that I had heard (not just in regards to the closed businesses). I do think she will bounce back, she is a smart girl and is already working on how to leverage her knowledge from home to work for her here.

Fuck, now we've got monkeypox! Wtf... This time the focus seems to be on sex on premise. Not good news for us!

[Aloscha]

Why is it it's suddenly linked to the gay and bisexual community? If it's transmitted by way of sexual activity, it's the same issue for all orientations? https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/nsw-health-identifies-probable-case-of-monkeypox-in-sydney/news-story/a3d27de42bba67e30d850cca09a2dfe8

Ah that doesn't look good. Maybe should hold off punting for a bit or get a quick few in before it really spreads.

I'd assume the increased risk for gay and bisexual community is due to the same reasons as it is for HIV and other STIs: high levels for promiscuous sexual activity and anal sex tends to carry a higher risk of disease transmission. One of the wonderful things about vaginas its they're actually evolved to be somewhat resistant to STIs, not so much the anus however.

Dr Sutton noted there would be people in Australia born after 1980 who would not be vaccinated against smallpox, which would protect them from monkeypox.

Professor Raina MacIntyre, the head of the biosecurity program at the Kirby Institute and part of the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on smallpox and monkeypox, said research showed waning immunity from smallpox vaccination might be contributing to the increasing outbreaks of monkeypox.

“It is more than 40-50 years since mass vaccination ceased,” she said.


"U.K. to offer smallpox vaccine shots to health workers as monkeypox spreads in Europe" "Smallpox vaccines are 85% effective against monkeypox, according to WHO" https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/britain-monkeypox-smallpox-vaccine-1.6459654

Looks like the boomers might not have to worry as much. Zoomers on the other hand :burn:

[rawg]

Completely numb to the monkey pox news now

[cuteguy]

vote the majors last, they just want to grab u with needles

These major parties are in all support of signing the WHO Pandemic Treaty that Bill Gates is pushing to have signed on 22 May 2022. This is a real worry. It will take our independence away as a country that has its own laws. It will give WHO absolute power over sovereign nations when it comes to dealing with pandemics or medical treatments of viruses etc. Imagine having Dr Gates (not even a doctor but sees himself as a medical expert) dictating to countries how to go about in dealing with viruses and plunging countries into further debt by buying more vaccines that he has a major interest in promoting and from which he is profiteering from and making him even more wealthier. It will be absolute power to WHO. Do we need this given the way they mishandled the virus and pandemic situation? Think about it.

For us punters do we want more lockdowns and mandates that will impact on enjoying our punting? Stop us from seeing WLs and MLs because Gates says millions will die if countries don't listen to his advice. Girls having no money to support themselves and families because they can't work. One word to Gates and WHO. Leave people and countries alone.
