Crossroads hotel outbreak continues to grow as NSW records 10 new COVID-19 casesThe south-west Sydney cluster is a more infectious form of the virus than previously seen, the state's Chief Health Officer says, as NSW recorded 10 new cases of COVID-19 Evidently not enough testing stations Sth West Syd so people coming to Hunter New Eng JH hosp etc for tests. Instead of self iso are out & about in eateries clubs pubs fuel stations etc so watch out for spread to Hunter! More testing Sth West Syd as queues unacceptable to many! One of Daniel Andrews spies sent up to ruin GladysB’s opening stages of the economy. God I wish I could lick her toes. Isn't it just that there are some people who are really talented at spreading the virus (super spreaders)? This is misleading because it implies there is a new mutation.

There have only been 3 deaths in people under the age of 60!! Protect those most at risk and get on with living for the rest.
