I reckon Sydney will be back in lockdown before the end of the week; this virus is like a bull in a china shop once it gets going. Hope Iām wrong. Hopefully the ACT and surrounds can avoid the worst of this and subsequent waves.

Hmmā¦ Iām not too sure. Maybe suburbs/postcodes like how Victoria started 2.0
question if the mayor of a council told you to wear masks but are no where near the lockdowns atm and also told you not leave the council boundires and wont name where the mayor got the health info from would you listen to the major or inthis case the cho of that state? who has said that unless there in the lock down areas dont have to wear masks and can travel freely just not in the lockdown areas?
That was as effective as enforcing marijuana laws in Nimbin.

The CHOās advise should be the prevailing requirements of the day - the mayors advise is more an encouragement (and on the face of it, sensible).
If the mayor is suggesting people apply a higher standard then what is being required, I donāt see a big issue with it - if its the opposite then theres an issue.

I think people are jumping the gun a bit here. The problem is nowhere near bad enough to justify any lockdowns yet in Sydney. The numbers are still very low. Lockdowns of entire cities canāt just be an immediate action when there are minor outbreaks or spikes if we need to live with it. It would have to trend upwards for a couple of weeks and be becoming a widespread problem before going that path. Hopefully tracking and tracing can contain it and it doesnāt become a big problem.

But doesnāt it become a bigger problem that will then bring harder and longer lockdowns? I certainly donāt want lockdowns at all but I donāt want what Melbourne has now. Those post code lockdowns didnāt work and lasted 2 mins.

Yes.
NSW CHO Kerry Chant said today that those things are considered when there are cases that they cannot trace. However, as she said today, at the moment they are able to trace all positive cases to an outbreak and/or someone that has tested positive.

Yes but we canāt just shut shop everytime that an outbreak or community transmission happens. If thatās the case then there is no moving forward from this. A lockdown is an extreme measure when there is a significant widespread problem or increasing trend in cases over time. Thereās no point having teams that track and trace if we jump straight into a lockdown for something that might be controlled. Weāve been told that we need to live with it and low levels in the community are the norm. These numbers are still low.

I donāt see anything wrong with it.
Thatās the ideal but that doesnāt seem to be working. Melbourne has been a disaster and Sydney is going that way and theyāre not working hard enough to cut it off. I despair at the outcome of this. I hope Iām wrong but i sense diabolical ramifications.
I just saw the ad and also felt thereās nothing wrong with it.

Localised lockdowns donāt work in cities like Sydney or Melbourne, unless the government is prepared to close the individual postcodes down completely (No in or out).
People in Melbourne were still travelling in and out for work etc. The local lockdowns were also introduced too late in Melbourne as the virus was already seeding in adjacent postcodes.
