NSW was a bit better like that, but only to an air or seaport. We travelled from regional right through SYD to the airport (didnt stop..see Ford, the Prados 120L fuel tank is very handy in pandemics!) and didnt have to quarantine when we got to TAS. TAS was ok with it too which is good. We were hoping to go to QLD for school holidays, may just go inland further at this rate.

![]() I simply can not watch the other news channels, maybe SBS, the others cater to the today tonight crowd. Would be nice if there was someone in between.

![]() To bring it back onto topic somewhat, I follow Sharnelle Vella (Chan 10 reporter) on her social media account. She gives Victorians straight up numbers on her twitter account with no bs. The benefit of her summary over data sites, like covidlive, is that she includes the make up of the numbers, e.g. where they came from, which clusters they are linked to etc. She also sometimes does the same for other states.

Mate from QLD bought a new, old, car and we had booked to do a road trip in tassie in August. Cancelled. He can get down, but we now think there is a 5% chance he'll be able to get back up. Can't see TAS or SA opening to Vic any time soon either.

Libby Trickett questions accuracy of government blaming slow rollout on vaccine hesitancy during Q+A
Olympic gold medallist Libby Trickett called on politicians to show true leadership to get Australian out of its current situation. "I just would like them to grow up, to be honest," Trickett said. "I just really want our politicians, the people that are in power and are responsible for taking care of our communities to look after us, and actually do the job that we've asked them to do. "It feels so much like the responsibility and the burden has been placed on the states and on the individual communities. "We are the ones who have to stay at home and have to go into lockdown and do all of these things. "I just want the states and the federal government to come together and actually come out with a clear, concise plan." I think there's many in the community who would agree with you, Libby!

It looks like a reprise of Barry Jones’ “Knowledge Nation” but with square boxes instead of bubbles!

This Delta variant is a P.I.T.A. People don't know when they have it, 'its a pity those numb-skulls running NSW don't understand it - It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion - farken unbelievable - they learnt NOTHING from the Ruby Princess and the Victorian experience

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT July 22nd 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 160 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 2.822%. 7 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.917%. The UK had a lower 39,315 cases yesterday and higher 84 deaths for a CMR of 2.302%. A higher 63,200 new cases in the USA yesterday and higher 425 deaths sees CMR at 1.780%. Other notable points: Global deaths pass 4.1M, the last 50k in 4 days; Global cases pass 191M, the last 1M in 2 days; Laos (256); South Korea (1,838); Mozambique (2,153); Kazakhstan (5,708); Vietnam (6,194); Cuba (7,745); and Thailand (13,655) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. Japan moves above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period and no countries drop below.

The responsibility surely falls on the individual to do the right thing. It really isn't that difficult. It just highlights the overwhelming number of selfish people in society these days.

If people are non compliant, then what difference does government policy make? Of course no government thinks they will get 100% compliance but other than taking extreme measures to force compliance I'm not sure what else they are expected to do and why they should be held accountable for non compliance.

What does a National Emergency mean for everyone? I'm confused. Military on the streets?
I think we are all watching SA with this delta variant. Went hard and fast on 1 community case. Honestly I think SA will come out of lock down sooner than Vic and NSW, and that should set a good example, but its probably too late now. I'm a bit annoyed that Vic didn't act as fast as they should have. After 4 previous lock downs, pressure from businesses and political corners, they flinched on the border rules. We were also just in the midst of easing restrictions from lockdown 4, added pressure to try hold that little bit longer. The virus is not very forgiving. IMHO only.

It means we have a real problem, not the real problem Victoria and SA have dealt with, this is a REAL problem so its time to roll down your sleeve and redirect all our vaccine to the REAL problem area.

There is an ocean of AZ available in NSW. Address that too. Asking for other states and territories to give up their Pfizer supply is asking for trouble. What if it leaks into another state? The pfizer can't be shipped back and forth. Allocate 70% of new supplies to the problem areas, I think that's pretty generous, don't leave the rest of the country high and dry with nothing. That's my quota on this thread for today ![]()
