Labor Premiers Andrews, McGowan and Palaszczuk have copped plenty of criticism for using the "L" word often, LOCKDOWN. With an outbreak of the more contagious Delta strain of Covid spreading rapidly in Sydney from the so called Mr Limo Driver, something the NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzards needs to explain, no mask no vaccine, and his departments roll in all that. Seemingly under pressure from vested business interests the Berejiklian government failed to contain the virus to four designated LGA's. Coupled with the Morrison governments shambolic vaccine roll-out and failure to provide proper quarantine facilities the virus is moving around Sydney at an alarming rate.

Critics of lockdowns and vaccinations should now realise the decisive actions of the three Labor Primers is the only correct way of having a chance of containing the virus. Keeping coffee shops and pizza parlours open might satisfy the Bereliklian governments constituency in the short term, but it might prove costly in the long run.

Hi Paul,

It's certainly scary. Poor Sydneysiders.
Well I guess - hopefully you live and learn.

Everything was running along smoothly - and then
WHAM! this happens. I guess we all expect "it won't happen
to us." Which just goes to show - listen to the medical
experts and luckily Victoria did. So glad to be living
here.

Yep I'm now under house arrest due to having visited the grandkids in Sydney last week.

This despite the fact that the evidence that lockdowns don't work just keeps getting stronger each month. Remember the good ol' days when the lockdown was about 'flattening the curve'. Governments have long since forgotten that. I even saw Gladys claiming that the aim was ALWAYS about eradicating the virus. Flatten the curve has been sent down the memory-hole.

So a few people have developed a sniffle and the entire state is closed down. But fear not - the people who have decided this won't suffer any loss, their salaries will keep flowing.

It seems that the issue is now about the how many people have the sniffles. A month ago, NSW had 5 people in hospital due to the WuFlu, one of them in ICU and one on a ventilator. And no one was talking about lockdowns then. Today there are 5 in hospital, of which one is ICU and NONE on a ventilator.

Five people are sick enough to be hospitalised. Five, FIVE.

And 5,000,000 are under house arrest because of it.

"Single Biggest Public Health Mistake, Possibly Of All History".

SA and WA are still doing OK, one Labor premier, and one Liberal premier, so not a lot to do with politics, as 1405 would have us believe. All you eastern staters keep on thinking that the sun shines out of your arses and stay your side of the Great Dividing Range.

ttbn,

Did you do geography at school?

Well, up here in the deep Tropical North where Global Warming is presently making us shiver in 15 Degree temperatures we luckily still get awakened at 6am by Cockatoos instead of some wailing from a loudspeaker at 5 am.
Plenty of Victorian tourists or rather permanent residents from Victoria clogging the bush tracks though so, I wonder how long before they infect us too !
