Of these, 66 were infectious in the community, 22 were in isolation for part of their infectious period and the isolation status of 70 cases remains under investigation. There’s now disagreement amongst modellers about whether the current restrictions in NSW can bring numbers down.

I wonder if those comments about disagreement between modellers is a disagreement between real modellers and epidemiologists or just noise from some opponents of lockdown. When Scotty from marketing starts to appear like the voice of reason, Gladys has a huge problem!

My associates in the UK paint a grim picture after freedom day, they are setting vaccination records but it's the doubters and those wilfully disobeying that are screwing over those efforts. My associates seem more stressed about the anti-vax dissenters than they are about the vaccines or dose of COVID, while I don't think that is necessarily a rational line of thought, I can understand why they have that perception. They seem to fear that the ongoing wilful resistance won't change, but the publics willingness to push through may fade, and the anarchists win! When that happens, those with legitimate reasons why they can't be vaccinated, lose big time!

It's interesting that the shock jocks keep on keeping on with the subversive message, because it's effectively barracking for their own demise given there is a very good chance their entrenched supporter base will ultimately be the biggest victim!
