Scientists split over whether Sydney’s lockdown is tight enough to tame outbreak

Scientists close to the project estimate the number is lower now, but still above 1, and point out it varies widely across Sydney.

But the modellers now find themselves unsure if Sydney really has implemented stage four restrictions. Their modelling is based on Victorian-style restrictions which, at stage four included a curfew, the so-called “ring of steel” separating Melbourne from regional Victoria and mandatory masks inside and outside.

”There are mixed signals coming from the NSW government. We were thinking this morning maybe they are in stage three. In terms of the adherence, how the lockdown is enforced,” said Dr Driss Ait Ouakrim, an epidemiologist and COVID-19 modeller at the University of Melbourne.

liammannix So many experts offering so differing so opinions🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

liammannix No argument from me. But are draconian measures still needed for the Central Coast

liammannix Stop this ridiculous wandering around, or surfing at beaches

liammannix Lockdown of LGAs won't work. Sydney wide lockdown for 2 weeks could. Gladys, Scott Morrison & the Liberals have led NSW into catastrophe. The NSW Premier & Chief Health Officer have to go Now. Then a 2 week total lockdown of the whole of Greater Sydney.

liammannix Masks are barely working indoors why does everyone think they’re gonna work outdoors.

liammannix she let it in to Australia letting wankers fly in and out every day from infected overseas countrys , STOP THE INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS OR THIS WILL NEVER END

softhardworker liammannix Why phrase the heading to give a false impression. Good luck with readers' Covid19 compliance.

liammannix By looking at today's numbers i think they may be right

bencubby liammannix The only way to go tighter is to stop essential work; who is advocating that?

liammannix Even if you went tighter won’t make a bit of difference ppl won’t stop moving around these numbers are set now

liammannix LISTEN UP GladysB NSWHealth. BEING PIGHEADED WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO DRAG THINGS OUT.

liammannix

liammannix Every morning Gladys says “based on health advice”. The next day the numbers are higher. Something is not right!

liammannix Thankfully the universities are not running by communist academics..

liammannix Not 'show' but 'suggest' or even 'strongly suggest'. Models like this by the unis are projections. They are guesses. We have too many journalists who are KNOW-ALLS but who don't write with precision and of course accuracy.

liammannix Ima say it wouldn't have taken an Einstein to have worked that out.

liammannix The SMH continues to search high and low for alarmist quotes from whackjob professors out of the leftist university system.

liammannix Blind Freddys taxi driver knows this

liammannix the 11am SPIN session is very entertaining but not very convincing

liammannix Are these the same scientists that said we would have hundreds of thousands of dead last year?

liammannix No shit, none of us predicted that. Saw unmasked construction workers this morning on a smoke break.

liammannix ..right from the start GladysB 🤷‍♂️ private industry serves private interests. Be a leader for the benefit of the people, not for the business knobs. So foolish! You'd be out of it by now, you know?

liammannix “Tighter restrictions” means for everyone except large construction companies and building developers.

liammannix Confusion is the order of the day in this lockdown you can’t use a nuanced approach to Delta

liammannix As does common sense, it’s clearly not tough enough because numbers are still rising.

liammannix Does anyone really genuinely believe that in four weeks this will be over?

liammannix Modelling Schmodelling huh rachelbaxendale

Sydney lockdown could wipe out recovery, BCA calls for smarter planThe nation’s biggest business lobby says there needs to be a smarter approach to lockdowns as research warns this year’s economic gains could be wiped out. swrighteconomy May I recommend the go early, go hard, approach, as displayed by Victoria (as done by Victoria TWICE against DeltaVariant , and SA once); the namby pamby half arsed 'please stay home' all shops open, in NSW is responsible for simply maintaining numbers, NOT stopping infection swrighteconomy Fuck the BCAcomau! SYDNEY NEEDS A RING OF STEEL TO PREVENT THE SPREAD TO ALL OF AUSTRALIA AND CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC ECONOMIC DISASTER. swrighteconomy It is a pretty useless, lazy government that needs the BCA to come up with reasonable policies. We pay substantial incomes to ministers so that they can wave their hands at the media for some attention at an illegal protest. Meanwhile the BCA have to do their job for them.

‘It’s Armageddon’: New restrictions blastedA Sydney mayor has unleashed on the raft of new restrictions and lockdown extension announced by Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Wednesday morning. No, mate. Restrictions have been implemented following a super spreader, horse clocking lockdown protest, leaving those of us in control of ourselves asking 'was it worth it ?' madness. Students from the high risk local government areas of Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown, Liverpool, Cumberland and Blacktown with Parramatta, George's River and Campbelltown will be 'subject to a Pfizer vaccination program'. Is this code for mandatory vaccinations?
