I hear this morning that the decision makers for the handling of the NSW COVID outbreak have been asked to front a Parliamentary upper house’s COVID-19 oversight committee to explain their actions. Interestingly it appears that Aunty Glad hasn't been called (is someone going to get thrown under the bus?)
Obviously they are concerned about the way it has been handled https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/...09-p58h84.html

Funnily enough I have seen FB posts from people in the US regurgitating exactly what he states..he is not alone by a fair margin, they seem to Trump memorabilia as well.

I posted an article earlier about a nurse who's job is dealing with end of life Covid patients, one of her biggest heartaches is listening to some of these COVID deniers and/or anti-vaxxers pleading to be jabbed while having the life choked out of them on their death bed.....to late is the only answer...

On a global scale Australia would have been low priority, but I would have thought we could have had supply by now.

I have felt that the S.A., Qld & Vict CHO's were not real puppets of the Government, but I reckon the NSW CHO is, I reckon she is being manipulated big time - I actually feel sorry for her

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT August 9th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 295 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 2.566%. 4 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.900%. The UK had a lower 24,891 cases yesterday and lower 37 deaths for a CMR of 2.139%. A higher 158,531 new cases in the USA yesterday and higher 486 deaths sees CMR at 1.727% but some of those were carried over from Sunday. Florida recorded a new daily record with 28,316. Other notable points: Global cases pass 204M, the last 1M in 1 day; South America passes 36M cases; Bahamas (257); Mauritius (528); and Iran (40,808) ... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. Israel moves above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period and Cyprus drops below.

Too much dribble gets created on the internet like this. Have a read of https://content.legislation.vic.gov....authorised.pdf and the equivalent in the other states. Then let us know. And then maybe let all of the Premiers and Heath Ministers know if they are right in hiding behind the CHO's

‘Notably clever’: If Russia’s vaccine is so good, why isn’t it more widely used?

I have to chuckle at Constance Hall finding herself wedged; the anti-vaxxers feel she’s betraying them for projecting an earthy, alternative lifestyle choices persona yet talking up the social benefits of Covid vaccination…

It's funny how some people thought the SOE gave politicians unlimited powers to do what they wanted. Where in actual fact it transferred powers to a chief health officer
I must admit, this pandemic has given me a crash course on how our political and health system works. A lot of it has come from putting up topics like these for discussions on forums.
