Any one seen any cremations in the street from this new Delta strain?

I drove through Harris Park yesterday and saw about five or six

Have to have lost trust in NSW government after this botch up..

Thursday and Friday both Brad Hazzard and Gladys berejiklian said there would be no lockdown, that the measures were proportionate and adequate.

Very next day bam in lockdown.. how can they get it so wrong or pretend they did to know .

When they say don't panic buy, why believe them. I say get to coles and Woolworths and buy up everything you can get.. no confidence in their advice

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! They Lie... panic buy!

Well, we hope so!

Talking to a colleague in London a couple of days ago they were saying the only reason they are open is the Govt has put the pedal to the metal on vax, with vax available 16/7 and also to kids as young as 12. They have ~80% with one shot and ~50% with both and are trying to stay ahead of the curve as infection rates are still high. But Govt messaging has been to strongly encourage vax otherwise they’re facing another long lockdown and after the last one was 5 months people (sorry, the sheep) seem quite responsive.

I think it’s fair to say some complacency set in in Australia because we haven’t had it anywhere near as bad as other first world nations but maybe his new SYD lockdown will motivate more to vax soon. And yes, this last statement will no doubt set off more bile from the conspirators about how it’s all an agenda.

Flatten the economy for two weeks, oops I mean flatten the curve.

How can you not laugh when these puppets talk absolute rubbish like this.

 

[Cappuccino]

You are a troll, a profile pic like that and your bait posts. You are another turd on the Kennel who needs to be flushed and quickly.

Lol
Its a footy forum and u morons are on here 24 7 arguing over a virus. Get a life lad. Fuck Lewis.

What a vaccine does is build up the body's immunity to covid. Therefore decreasing the severity of the virus when you get it.

I think you need to understand how vaccines work before you dismiss its effectiveness.

Ideally if the majority of people get vaccinated then the severity of covid19 has less effect on the population as a whole and life goes back to normal .Then we are able to live with covid19. It's called herd immunity.

Covid isn't going anywhere .

If the government didn't screw up the vaccine roll-out the we could of been alot further down the path and then maybe avoid these lockdowns.

i understand, what i said was it doesn’t stop you getting it or passing it on. Which it doesn’t.

That’s how it is.
Vax is 100% voluntary and anyone (like @AlzzBulldog) saying otherwise is lying.

But just like every other divider, it turns 2 sides against eachother and then that's when the bullshit flows from both sides.

Yep, information and advice changes as more data is available, so that’s where the accusations come that health/government advice is inconsistent. Some of the other mis-information is just farcical though.

You know I'm not a conspirator but I love a good conspiracy. I mentioned this yesterday. I don't know if it's a conspiracy or just a good tactic to "hurry up" people lagging to get their shot.

The timing is "perfect" being school holidays. Plus it increases the heat between vaxxers and anti-vaxxers.

Yep. But it reduces the chance of you transmitting it by about half. It also reduces the amount of time you carry and shed the virus.

Do We know what percentage we need for herd immunity to work?

 

[Natboy]

Do We know what percentage we need for herd immunity to work?

60-70% off the top of my head. Ideally higher than that though

 

[Mr 95%]

30 local transmissions..great testing.. STAY VIGILANT! We got this NSW..

I don’t think it’s a tactic and that’s exactly where most conspiracies fail the smell test - that so many people would need to have ‘knowledge’ of any such ‘plan’ and yet no-one blows the whistle - it doesn’t make sense.

That said, I agree that this outbreak will be used as a vax motivator, which is going to come down to supply given the shortage of Pfizer, AZ is 60+ only and the TGA hasn’t approved Moderna/J&J for Australia (yet).

All honesty, do you and others think they will hit that AND will it stop lock downs?

 

[DinkumDog]

Hazard wears a mask except when speaking (he’s holding one). The sign language girl can’t, otherwise can’t sign properly. Chant, I don’t know why.

 

[Hacky McAxe]

Do We know what percentage we need for herd immunity to work?

Minimum of 70% but at least 90% for full herd immunity.

It's based heavily on the R0 value which is between 2 and 3. So about 70-90%

No major knowledge needed my bro. The "health authority" just has to suggest a lock down is vital, the premier calls it, then people will do the majority of the work on both sides of the coin.

This is more of a hurry up more than a conspiracy.
