Dominic P. Has Backed Down on Masks!

 Just announced at press conference at 3pm 23/12/2021.

1. Indoor Mask Mandate From Midnight 23/12/2021.

2. QR Codes to be used more widely.

3. Density limits tweaked to avoid mingling and crowds and things like dancing restricted..

Great to see sanity starting to prevail. Why did it take so long I wonder?

Nice to see Kerry Chant at the press conference! Apparently most of case increases related to Omicron variant.

When this the government has tried everything else, they reluctantly do the right thing.

# We have the restrictions out
# We put the restrictions in
# We have the restrictions out & we mingle all about
# We do the hokey pokey & share it all around
# And that's what it's all about

Even in the best situation there are often several days between being contagious & passed it on before they have symptoms, get tested, wait for results, then work out where you've been, work out who may be a close/casual contact (if the tracing works, helps if they all checked in). It takes a week or 2 until the worst lands them in hospital, takes a few more weeks for some to worsen .. ICU .. full ventilator & life support .. some die .. coroner certifies cause of death .. finally gets reported.

Waiting >4 weeks or more to find out hospitalisation & death rates is too late. Yes, the 2 doses appear to have reduced the numbers in hospital & death rates but it's a high risk strategy to have done very little these weeks. If NSW reaches >10'000 per day (>5x prev peak) does it matter much if hospital rate is <1/5 of previous? Why are we now more sorry than safe?

"Why are we now more sorry than safe?" because the politicians play politics to game the system. And it's our fault for letting them - its called a democracy

Clearly financially driven, Scumo and team do not want to foot to bill any longer. They need the cash for defence spending. Odd how tools to do harm get an open cheque book but the well-being of Australians is capped. Guess we reached Herd mentality.
