, which they say appears to have been driven by industry rather than concern for the state’s stretched hospital system.
“It is an extremely risky strategy which guarantees an increase in the number of cases and the number of hospitalisations. The question is how NSW Health will cope in this environment.” Professor Alexandra Martiniuk, an epidemiologist at the University of Sydney, said she believed the measures were prioritising industry above public health, expressing surprise that some restrictions – such as allowing for large seated gatherings – would ease, even for the double-dosed.
Associate Professor Holly Seale, a vaccine communications researcher at UNSW, doubted the promise of greater freedom once double-dosed would be “the nudge that will help everybody” come forward for a shot.
marywardy When we have talk of the ICU nurses up in arms about moving away from the one to one nurse to patient ratio in ICU, this whole roadmap seems to be putting the cart before the horse.
jakegriffiths marywardy Gee the funeral industry needs a boost.
marywardy this virus is gonna be there for next generations too..soo close its borders till we earth is no more?
marywardy SacktheLNP GladysOutbreak SackHunt before more innocent people die
marywardy NSW can only ease the lockdown partly after 85% full vaccination of aged 16. Reopening after 70% jabs is too risky for all NSW people. No health means no economy. No Gladys and her cabinet means no health risk.
marywardy People need hope and freedom not constantly living in fear of something they will never likely catch or be even very sick from. The media love a lockdown, it sells
marywardy It's definitely due to industry.... without $$, the govt loses it's power to govern and control. They are being threatened to reopen or face massive cuts. Industry has their hands in the govt pockets and govt have no choice but to abide and heel. Sad fact.
marywardy Really! surely not,! it’s taken the Sydney morning Herald this long to work that out. Oh wait, they’ve been Complicit most of the time.
marywardy Missing word - “some” public health experts
shakantala marywardy the graph in article showing Vax status of cases shows fully vaxxed represents a very small % of cases .As only the fully vaxxed will be participating in easings of restrictions,how does this translate to 100s more hospitalisations ?maybe confusing with open Freedom Days like UK
marywardy God help us. Opening up in a month will be letting Covid Open up, No different to all the other countries that done the same thing. And now they are getting the worst increase in cases then they did from the start. But all the Little people are now getting it.!!!😢. Wrong move!!
marywardy How about you talk about them saying it’s all this fake pandemic is NEW WORLD ORDER
marywardy Public Health Experts can stay in lockdown but the rest of us want to get on with our lives
marywardy Early treatment would solve everything! For heavens sake, at least look at the science. Give people hope and a life to live.
marywardy It’s already gone way to far for most business. There is no coming back for them. And if you think they will you don’t understand the market.
marywardy Stop the needless panic and fear peddling. People now have a choice, let them make their own decision. Lockdown is no life it’s prison.
marywardy No shit!!! Every decision she has made since the Bondi outbreak has been industry based…attempting to convince us residents she’s upholding her “duty of care” Sad thing is that she believes she’s doing a great job…”Scott said I am so it’s true” rest of the world sniggers
marywardy Exactly! flooded hospitals would be an absolute disaster...people just don't seem to get it!
marywardy She is obviously supporting the funeral business
marywardy Even in Victoria we are staying home. Stay safe NSW 🙏🏽🙌🏽
marywardy GladysB You have constantly talked about following the Health Advice over the last few months but now you are ignoring the Health Advice and pushing to open up at 70%. LNPfail GladysResign
world_news_eng marywardy It's really less of a roadmap and more a picture of a destination with no directions included..
marywardy Seems Gladys like you guys to catch the virus. The things she is doing are helping the spread.
marywardy It doesn't matter anymore now. Premier is loosing business friends if she keep on lockdown. To win elections business/economy is important. so it has go that way. live with COVID and business should be happy and let the migrants& poor people die who dont have remote working life
marywardy 70% of 16yrs and up is only 55% of population
marywardy When your corrupt you don’t have a choice
marywardy Why shouldn’t industry come first?
marywardy Why why why are there unvaccinated staff treating patients in the geriatric ward at Vinnies How is this still happening
marywardy Does every household need to check their visitor’s vaccination status.
MSMWatchdog2013 marywardy 'One person's 'freedom' is another person's going to hospital' - or death sentence. When Gladys is listening to Justin Hemmes instead of Dr Chant - we're in deep sh*t NSW. auspol
marywardy All her policies is driven by industry... And Gerry Harvey.
marywardy Public health officials have tunnel vision and do not balance the many factors that make up the health and well being of a population. Leaders do that.
marywardy 1 person’s freedom is another 0.00000000000000001 person’s going to hospital 🤔
marywardy Bin Chicken is doing what she's told. It really would not matter if they changed leaders - the outcome would remain the same. When the corporatocracy is in charge we have fascism.
Cheyleia marywardy I Just want to say
marywardy Its also very bad business/economic advice though. Health of the public and economics/business are inextricably tied together in a very high pandemically spread virus which works nothing like the flu
marywardy Of course. With Gladys it’s all about the money.
marywardy This is literally a VACCINATED only economy she's contemplating here with safeguards and restrictions in place for the VACCINATED still. If you're unvaxxed because you were too slow or simply moronic you'll still be in Stage 4 lockdown meaning the hospital system will cope.
marywardy road maps are so yesterday we use GPS now 🤦♂️
marywardy These health policy makers have their jobs, in fact they are thriving! What is their answer to moving past this? vaccinations not enough? What is the acceptable level of risk that they deem appropriate? How will they plan for Hospitality, Tourism and Entertainment to reopen?
marywardy G Binchicken should be sacked immediately. Too weak to stand up to big business Too weak to stand up to corruption in Libs Too weak to reject advances of a married man Not a leader.
marywardy That might be the Binchicken's so-called Roadmap to Freedom, but it may well be a pathway to severe illness and even death for some. My Freedom Ride won't start until 2 weeks after 80% double dose and daily case numbers are in double digits. Sometime in first half 2022 methinks.
marywardy This whole mess in NSW has been driven by business, industry and $.
marywardy It's a Catch22. There are huge costs to delaying reopening as there are to reopening (arguably) early.
Noisynanawarat1 marywardy I am guessing that many people would love the freedom to have a few family and friends to their homes ahead of going to pubs, gyms or having their hair and nails done. “Most transmission happens in homes” only because that’s where people are taking the virus during lockdown.
marywardy Health experts in hospitals never wants us to open up …. At all …
marywardy The Berejiklian government this morning announced that in the absence of a timely introduction of the vaccine passport scheme, unvaccinated individuals will be required to wear the Star of David on their arms.
marywardy
marywardy They had plenty of time to prepare our hospital, they did nothing.
marywardy So called public health experts would have us locked up at home indefinitely. It’s up to politicians to weigh up competing interests.
marywardy Quelle surprise!
marywardy Meanwhile, MarkMcGowanMP who placed the health of Western Australians first now recorded a $5.6 billion surplus A far better economic manager than the failed GladysB The Neoliberal principle of prioritising business ahead of the people for an optimised economy is dead
marywardy Remember when people died in the 'Pink Batts' economic stimulus scheme? The shadow environment minister at the time said no economic boost could be justified if it risked four deaths. That minister? Greg Hunt
marywardy If we let health experts dictate everything we will live in a bubble forever.they don’t know our weak premier GladysB.She has no intention to open up for lgas of concern. She targets everything to her eastern suburb mates.We in Georges river will not be free markcourelive
drkerrynphelps marywardy Looks like money still talks
marywardy WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR 13 WEEKS 🥵🥵🥵🇦🇺Scott knows if he loses Sydney & NSW (he will) the LNPCorruptionParty will lose the federal election (they will). He and Gladys are doing this solely to TRY and save the LNP. It’s repugnant. GladysResign auspol resignmorrison🇦🇺🇦🇺
