@stockcar86 not really surprised seeing as all the leaders who have read it seem to have a different idea of what it says
-
@stockcar86 yeah fucking thanks for that. super. great.
we are all fucked. Pack it in, it's all over. You are never leaving your house again, let alone the State. Maybe your kids will get to leave the Country
ANd if you don't work directly for the Government, find other work.

i for one am just glad we have a bunch of adults leading the nation
The petty border tit-for-tat between NSW and Qld makes them both look stupid, Ana more so today.
God King of the DPRWA is throwing the toys because Alan Joyce is going to take his toys and play somewhere else (hubbing his direct Aus - London planes through Darwin, because, you know, you are allowed in and out of the Territory).
It's just so refreshing to see how fucking maturely everything is being handled.
It almost makes you think maybe we need some sort of national government to lead in times of national emergency

the divide between each of the states and the feds has been pretty eye opening, similar with the Us, makes you really wonder how well these federations actually work

look, i'm just gone to go ahead and let you run your little "everything is ScoMos fault" crusade
The Feds can't do shit. That's the way the Country is set up. The State's are responsible for themselves, their own conduct, and their own behaviour.

this article is pretty interesting
“The Doherty modeling appears to be nothing more than manufactured scientific opinion to achieve a political outcome by working the numbers backwards.”
I had a look at that and stopped when he got confused about the 180 days modelling:
For example, looking at daily new infections, the new infections per day don’t even peak before the model cuts off at 180 days for the 80% vaccine coverage scenario:
For a smart bloke he's having a real fucking dumb moment. At 50% it reaches a peak and then declines. The modelling then shows with each extra 10% of the population vaccinated the bell curve shifts right. How fucking hard is it to see that?

Ah yeah, I mean the states have not covered themselves in glory with the way they've been carrying on. Plenty of brickbats to go around. I'm loathe to pass up an opportunity to put the boot into scomo because 1) the buck ultimately stops at the top and 2) he's done far more to contribute to this mess than any of the state premiers, and that's nothing to do with the constitution.
But sure, Palaszczuk seems to be having a week of dumbfuckery, so have at it and I'll try not to derail again

Worksite Anti-Vaxxer Might Wanna Start With Doing His Own Research Into That Smoko Order
A local carpenter who has just polished off 1 litre of Monster Energy drink, a 2-month-old curried steak pie with tomatoes sauce, 150 gram Mars Bar, three Winfield cigarettes, a battered cheese kransky and 500 millitres of iced coffee in that exact order has today voiced his skepticism of the medical consensus surrounding immunisations. “I’m not getting it aye” says the 33-year-old father of two, Chook Fowle. “No one knows what’s in it” Despite not breaking into a sprint since he retired from club football roughly one decade ago, Chook says he has some grave concerns about his health, and will not be heeding the strongly recommended advice of literally every medical expert in the country. “The missus showed me some links the other night” he says. “Doesn’t look good. I can’t believe they are making us put this shit in our body” As one of the hundreds of thousands of Australians who are slipping through the gaps of the Government’s embattled public health messaging, Chook has been quick to dismiss the national jab roll-out as just some big ploy by scientists to control every day people like him. He’s worried that by taking the jab, he’ll be poisoning his body with a bunch of mass produced chemical shit that actually hinders his health. One of his workmates, a plumber whose wife is working on the frontline of the pandemic response as an ICU nurse, gently questions Chook’s logic – and asks him where he’s reading all this shit. “Mate!” says Chook, as his heart pulsates with the cocktail of Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Acesulphame Potassium, Sucralose, Glucuronoiactone, Guarana Seed Extract and Tartrazine that he just tipped into his body as a carbonated entree to the two kilograms of pre-heated smoko van pastries. “You gotta do your own research with this shit!” “What does a fucking doctor know about health. They literally make money out of us being sick!!!” His workmates back off with their questioning, knowing full well how volatile Chook can get after a big weekend blowing his pay cheque on ythe predatory online betting apps. “Just because there’s all these ads and shit telling you it’s okay doesn’t mean it’s not gonna fuck your life up!” he says.

You're ignoring the CHO's expertise in economics.

There's probably some solid medical research that shows the dangers to public health of having league players active in the community is at least partially mitigated by having their missus's present

Network news tonight says Sydney's hospital system is being overwhelmed by covid cases, there was a nursing manager(?) being interviewed by the press who said whole families were being hospitalised, including young fit people, the majority unvaccinated

Mate thats nothing new, this stat was from a week ago.
"Of the 645 COVID cases admitted to hospital, 113 are currently in ICU, 98 of whom have not been vaccinated"
https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/chant-high-number-of-unvaccinated-cases-in-icu-shows-vaccination-is-the-key/video/9180eab4c46c6c7db451c54e6fa77892
I dont have todays numbers, but I woud suggest the breakdown of vax versus non vax percentage has not changed much. -

If they were young and fit, why would they be hospitalised? The problem according to the data is the
filthy unwashed peasantsunvaccinated.The three major hospitals under pressure are the ones in the health districts with the vast majority of cases. The answer for everyone is clear; get vaccinated before you catch it off the essential worker who lives in your house.
