Nobody's questioning Parrotsay's rhetoric, but it appears to be laying the foundations for deflecting blame for decisions made on economic basis over welfare.
Also, not much is being written about the low reported NSW death rate versus Vic, lower numbers in Vic for week and weeks now with proportionally higher deaths. The naysayers will claim Dan has inflated he figures, but I suspect it's more likely Parrotsay has done the exact opposite. The reason for me forming this opinion is that there seems to be a disconnect between the duress reported by NSW Health / Hospital staff and Parrotsay's reported death rates. Something seems a bit stinky!
Statistically, it should approach the national / global average once you have enough cases on a regular basis, but NSW seems to be delivering a Christmas miracle, have they have beaten the math or are they calling a spade a surfboard? Note that as of yesterday in NSW Omicron was still not yet the dominant strain but as a percentage it's rising very fast.

3,763 new cases in NSW, 1,503 new cases in Vic. Will this be like the recent Delta outbreak where we ended up overtaking NSW?

I'll wait and see what winter brings in the northern hemisphere. They're lousy numbers already and so many countries have been lying about their figures. 180,000 cases in the States yesterday, 1800 deaths. And climbing.

Around 2 weeks ago (7/12/22), there were 297 cases in hospital (47 in ICU) in Victoria.
Today, there are 394 cases in hospital (70 in ICU), an increase of around 32% and 49% respectively.

Interesting to read the Heparin claims being made in the media, I wonder what the dose is for treating Sars-CoV-2, but it's hard to see it used prophylactically given the potential bad effects of over-use.
So I presume they are talking a boutique treatment for those people with COVID who qualify as candidates.
Given strokes / haemorrhages are a potential side-effect of heparin, is it wise to be spraying up your nose in the close proximity to or bypassing the blood / brain barrier?
FYI Quote:One way to bypass the blood brain barrier and thus treat diseases of the brain is to use the nasal route of administration and deposit drugs at the olfactory region of the nares, from where they travel to the brain via mechanisms that are still not clearly understood, with travel across nerve fibers and travel via a perivascular pathway both being hypothesized.

Different rules for elite tennis players and public plebs it seems...Comrade Dan and Craig Tilley have organised medical exemptions for certain players unnamed to be allowed to play the Aus open, The Djoker being one of the prime suspects and they dont even have to state their vaccination status unless they choose to do so...
Seems the privacy of elite tennis players is more important than the health of Victorians..but hang on we do have Dan's anti Magna Carta Pandemic Legislation to save us......
No medical exemption for Russian tennis player Natalia Vikhlyantseva though ,forced to miss the grand slam because her vaccine isn't recognised by Australian authorities.
Vikhlyantseva, who was set to compete in qualifying for the Melbourne Park tournament in January, is vaccinated with the Sputnik V vaccine.
They must think with that rocket fuel vaccine in her body she might be a fire hazard.....

The money is what they might miss, the SA Govt are allowing a tennis tournament for the ladies to go ahead as well, with players quarantined in Victoria at the minute. If they are vaccinated then fine but Vic city folk are still locked out of SA I believe and when you have different rules for different folk where exemptions are based on the money doing the talking then you leave yourself open for criticism. People have been prevented from seeing critically ill loved ones etc yet sporting events that make big money or carry prestige are allowed to continue and that applies to all state governments.
With Omicron in its early days here in Aus you would think some consistency in rules would apply across the board and if players wont get vaccinated then they forfeit the right to play..

Saved again ... by a rampant idiot just now on channel 9. She pleaded with the boxing day crowd not to shout on if you happen to be masked at the MCG should you infect someone else. Where did they dig up these nitwits? Back to your knitting dear
