No comment on the efficacy of the PCR test?

PCR is fine, it's infinitely better than misleading uninformed opinions proliferating the internet, and opinions of people who do not understand science and how it works!

You really don't get cause and effect, do you, there is no causality in your private universe?

Your responses are getting lamer and lamer.
I quote directly from the inventor of the PCR 'test' (which it isn't) but you know better....
What is your field of science by the way?
My speciality is stats and numbers in general, not in the science field, but that objective space helps me cut through the BS....

Are you guys done?
This was inevitable.
You cannot hide from a virus forever. Be it now or when international travel returned in earnest. With no vaccine it was always going to come to rising case numbers. The real question is why the lockdown?
Lockdown part one was about being prepared for the virus. We copped that, its fine. We now have 30 in hospital and 9 in Icu. Thats actually not that alarming.
We are looking at over a 1000 positive cases for less than 40 in hospital.
Whilst I can appreciate the numbers if expanded out to match our population size lead to significant pressure on the health system, they have forgotten to expand out the number of positive cases with no hospitalisation by comparison which should model to a fairly mundane level of sickness.
I could have gotten the maths wrong here but I'm not sure. At the hospital i work at there hasnt been more than 3 confirmed positive cases admitted at any one time. The numbers are so low that they actually halved a ward with the fire doors to allow more regular patients more beds.

As an old Albury-Wodonga boy (I lived on both sides of the river many years ago) I'm wondering why they didn't start the restrictions/crossing/'border' north of Albury. The cross border traffic is considerable but most folks are just going from Albury to Wodonga or back the other way.
(Edit: Sounds like they're on to it.)

Yep, my relatives in Echuca / Moama have stated a similar thing, closing up the river crossing was going to hurt both towns and many people were organising to slip across to one side or the other before the closure. There are people sleeping on couches and spare beds everywhere!
I bet the NSW government doesn't stop the Fisheries officers crossing the border. If they do stop them blame it on Sweden!

Albury / Wodonga was obvious from day dot. Pity our bloody idiot premiers don't have the first idea about geography. Inept and incompetent

I have friends in Tweed Heads who had to put up with the farce of not being allowed to cross the street into Coolangatta during their border closure.
Reality always wins in the end.

Perhaps LP, you should listen to a few experts...

Your certitude is sadly misguided.
