Nearly 6000 new case today in a population of close to six million. I know thats good by world standards. But it does show the folly of abandoning Lockdowns. New South Wales more of less sealed the countries fate by quitting first. After that the virus has leaked out everywhere. They had 21,000 new cases today and the responce was to reduce testing, presumably to keep the official numbers down.😷

That is sad.
I remember when we had a President that wanted to decrease the testing so numbers stayed down.

@KiwiBird Its easy to blame NSW as they are the origin of most of the other states problems. But since vax rates are so high here, we wont be looking at a US, Britain, or Netherlands issue. Having said that, I wont be going anywhere near a crowd, eatiung out or going to the movies for a very long time and the mask is staying on (Already Boostered) You have a safe New Year..😷

@Pfuzylogic Yes... Its hard to think our politicians are as stupid and ignorant as worlds best practice. But there it is..😷

My posed question would be “Do they really think the public is that stupid and accepting?”
After what I have seen here in the U.S. , it is so easy to form an army of lemmings to do whatever you want them to do.

@Pfuzylogic I agree. And considering we face a Federal election next year and our Federal Government seems to model itself as "Trump Lite" led by Scummo the Clown, I think thats a fair test. I will get back to you after May '22😷

@whowasthatmaskedman same thing is happening here in Tassie .
Highest record daily increase ....yet testing has reduced, contact response has been delegated to the public.
I mean ...I know covid is here to stay....but its lone all if a sudden...they don't care anymore .

@OogieBoogie Yes..And you know the Feds are behind it. By the time the election comes we wont know how many people have it, so they are hoping business will bounce back by May without "too many" people dying. Your Guy and McGowan in the West have done brilliantly up to now.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman they did.
But turning us into a tourist state decades ago was bad move.
We should have been a food belt state.
The economy has suffered terribly.
That's basically why they have opened everything up again.
But it's gonna be a shit storm come winter if they keep going this way

@OogieBoogie Agreed. IF we get lucky, the next Shot will be a combined Covid/Flu shot that will last a year. But winter is after the election, isnt it?😷

@OogieBoogie @whowasthatmaskedman The Federal Government is NSW (Sydney) centric. Now that they are getting 20,000 plus cases a day they are saying get vaccinated and boosted and get Omicron....flood gates are open...keep the borders open and the money flowing. Only problem is the States can do what they want....got to love Federation.

@KiwiBird Oh I do..While it could be worse.. I look at America..... Then look at New Zealand and wonder if they will rent up their PM for a few years.😷

@KiwiBird And they were dealing with a vastly different native population. One they made a treat with. I wont argue the rights or wrongs of how Oz dealt with the locals. Its Shameful. But right or wrong Jacinta represents her people. Scotty from Marketting pushes his next campaign.😷
