57 cases.

Not as bad as it seems. 44 were in quarantine.
So 13 is the real number.

Hopefully, reminds of last year when the numbers spiked right before the lockdown extensions or controversial rulings then would drop a day or two later.

Correct ... Will wait to see today's NSW numbers.  Proposed anti vaxxers protest this weekend.  Rubber bullets please

That’s if we assume those people who were supposed to be quarantining were quarantining 100% of the time. I fear there were different levels of compliance amongst those 44.

At least MBB will finally have an answer to his “Who are the anti-vaxxers?” question ...    )

681 new cases in NSW (predictions say this may rise to 3000 a day after 30 days) and just short of 10,000 infections since mid-June. Good on ya, Gladys, you're a legend! What a masterstroke: who would have thought a slow response would be so brilliant. I hope emergency services take note: if a fire starts in the bush, don't rush into things. Maybe give it a week or so and see if a few blokes with water pistols can turn it around.  But I guess ambulance services would say they've been doing that for years.

Yep,  how many people are going to pay for bin chicken's hubris?

Ruby Princess should have been a lesson.  These NSW idiots (listening Hazzard?) don't have a clue.  They're just so 'effin slow ... and we poor schmucks in Victoria have had over 200 days in lockdown.  FFS.

Just listened to an epidemiologist on radio, they think unless something extraordinary happens NSW will be 2,000 a day before the end of the month, and 10,000 a day by the end of Sept. That is an effective R[sub]0[/sub] = 3.0 every 14 days, if not for the lockdowns and vaccinations the R[sub]0[/sub] would be much higher, at this stage the restrictions have halved the effective transmission rates. But R[sub]0[/sub] = 3.0 still isn't great!

Vic have a very slight chance of not following that trend, and if Vic can't halt the spread it will be almost miracle territory if the same doesn't eventually happen in other states.

The big problem all the states have is non-compliance in the general public, too many people prepared to burn down the farm to get it over with. I suspect people touting that solution are ignorant of the long term effects! :o

I've also heard/read that this Delta variant is problematic because the incubation period is a bit more of a variable, it can turn up in a patient after 72hrs or as long as two weeks! So they expect to start making 14 days the default isolation period for everybody now, Tier 1, 2 , 3 or whatever!

It's concerning that we have had 50 cases in a day despite being locked down for 4 of the last 5 weeks.
