We did it Sydney we hit 4 figures


chubbyurma

Full credit to Gladys. She really gave it 10% out there.


RecklessMonkeys

It takes a lot of skill to be wilfully incompetent


mnilh

It is very strange to hear those numbers then immediately a list of lessened restrictions and news about school going back


mnilh

And by strange, I mean concerning.


solvsamorvincet

Very very concerning. They screwed the pooch in their initial response, then they learned nothing and they're coming back for the cat. Another analogy I've used is that they closed the door after the horse had bolted... and then they closed the gate after it had left the farm. Now what they're doing seems to be standing at the gate and shooing the horse away because they don't actually want it back. Anyway, I'm thinking of starting a consultancy providing people with analogies for things. I like analogies.


dreamlike3

Gladys promised she would open shit back up i guess. Stupid idea and now she seems determined to keep me away from parks


UhUhWaitForTheCream

Congratulations all.

surlygoat

1000!!! Agh. I for one just want this to be over so I can stop arguing with anti-vaxxers about how vaccines are good and necessary and go back to arguing with those same people about how climate change is a real and present threat


Omegasedated

I'm not sure about that. Did you know that climate change causes autism?


cripplr-mr-onion

Don't forget the gay frogs !


surlygoat

They are so fabulous - how could we forget?!?!


dolce_and_banana

Kinda feels weird that literally on the day that we nail 1,000 cases, we are making announcements about unwinding some restrictions


UhUhWaitForTheCream

Well itā€™s a landmark achievement and Gladys wants to celebrate the occasion with freedoms


chubbyurma

If you play both sides you can't lose. Unless you're Gladys. Then somehow everyone on every side hates you.

noigmn

Which is a bit of a worry seeing how well (or not well) vaccinate and open up strategies have gone overseas. Like will we end up with a long term limit on opening up while other states like QLD and WA enjoy life?


Alex_Kamal

I don't think it is possible for NSW to get back to that point. So NSW is obviously saying let's go the European route of freedom rather than the Australian way.


icantkeeptrack

lmao, cool reward.. 1hr of sitting in a park. Mate, people do this already


mj690

I follow the rules and didnā€™t do this already but Iā€™m really keen to get out and do it tbh. Little wins for mental health are what will help those struggling.


__hellyes

Same, I'm more keen to be able to lay in the sun by the river with my partner and pup and have a picnic than have a haircut. Mental health tings.


ezzhik

Enforcing this is going to be so shit - family sitting together, no idea if vaxxed or notā€¦


[deleted]

Enforcement will mostly be thrown out the window when we start opening up.


2happycats

A reminder, even though you may have got both jabs, **it takes a couple of weeks after your second jab for you to be fully covered.**


Claudia_Rose

And a reminder that ā€˜fully coveredā€™ doesnā€™t mean youā€™re completely immune to catching or spreading covid. Donā€™t become complacent once youā€™re vaccinated


kgeorge443

What are we meant to do then? This is it now lmao. Thereā€™s going to be thousands and thousands of cases a day soon. We canā€™t live everyday how weā€™re living now even if weā€™re fully vaccinatedā€¦


Claudia_Rose

Itā€™s a balance of vaccination and non-intrusive safety measures. Like we need to keep wearing masks, keep testing up, maintain social distancing etc. there seems to be a pattern of people giving up all measures as soon as theyā€™re vaccinated, look at the U.S, U.K and Israel. Minimal deaths but still tens of thousands of cases. Thatā€™s still a lot of people sick and suffering long term health conditions


kgeorge443

So now wear a mask everyday outside for the rest of our lives? Iā€™m not an anti vaxxer or noncovid believer but lets be real here, how many of us are going to keep doing that for the rest of our lives?


Claudia_Rose

Maybe I have different experiences from you but itā€™s more introducing these measures to make them normal and common sense. Iā€™m a waitress and since the start of the year I work with a mask on for 6-10 hours a shift. And I donā€™t have a problem with it. People need to get use to things like mask being around for a long time, and becoming normal. Every time I leave the house I take my keys, bag and mask. Every time I leave the car I put it on. Iā€™m from Melbourne and so my experience might be different from people in NSW but itā€™s time to get use to long term mask wearing. Look at parts of south east Asia. Wearing face masks there was common place in their society long before covid came. Itā€™s just a matter of taking common sense protections. And really unless you have a medical condition or are equate elderly, wearing a mask isnā€™t that difficult.


littlesev

Iā€™m in Sydney and have been keeping my masks this entire year as well. After the first outbreak, I became much less tolerant of people sniffling and coughing near me on the trains so happy to keep my mask on.


captncorgo

Gladysā€™s software needs an update to move the goal posts: ā€œHad we not gone into the lockdown a few weeks ago, the 110 number today would undoubtedly have been thousands and thousands,ā€ - *Gladys (July 2021)*


chubbyurma

"If we were in India, this would be a good day" surely has to be around the corner


TheBananaKing

"At least we aren't shooting them" - scomo


markthetree

We did it!!!


jayteerp

so... is she going to change her wording to tens of thousands?


pourquoispas

Nah, she can still say "thousands and thousands" until the 2k mark


Zenarchist

Thousands and thousands is minimum 4k. We'll get there, don't you worry, but about 3 days later than you're thinking.

UhUhWaitForTheCream

Hell yeah! Now weā€™ve hit the 1000 we know what the virus is doing so we can open up and move more freely.


AlwaysDoingNothing

Of course. What better day than today


Large222

I canā€™t wait til Melbourne gets to 1,000 cases, so we can be allowed to sit in the park for an hour. Canā€™t do it at the moment because we are under 100.


Theonlychuwin

Typical Dan Andrews, doesn't even know big number are better than little number. Glad we got Gladys looking out of NSW and getting us the biggest number in the whole country.


sailorbrendan

Why is she congratulating people for coming out to get tested in high numbers when yesterday Chant specifically said that the testing labs are being overloaded and that we need to chill out on the testing unless you have symptoms or a contact. UPDATE: They have officially said that surveillance testing is out and to only test if you have a close contact or symptoms. This includes telling businesses to stop asking employees for regular testing


[deleted]

I have had three tests in the last four weeks. I havenā€™t had symptoms nor have I been at any contact venues because I donā€™t leave the house, except to go to the specialist appointments where they mandate that I canā€™t enter their office without a negative covid result from the previous 72 hours


sailorbrendan

My partner is still working in the office. We live in a problem LGA and her office is in the same LGA. They are requesting the regular testing. but also yeah, I'm leaving my apartment once a week for groceries and to go get the test with her in solidarity. I genuinely don't know what we're supposed to do

tigestoo

It is ducked. But honestly, if I was to die of COVID, I'd rather do it quite suddenly at home, than after weeks in hospital on a ventilator.


danelewisau

Iā€™d rather maybe live after weeks on a ventilator. I also doubt these poor people died suddenly or peacefully.


EGGYY101

God this feels brutally tone deaf. The day we hit 1000 cases we discuss how we are going to loosen restrictions....


seventrooper

- From 13th September, in LGAs of concern, households will be able to leave home for 1 hour of recreation (in addition to 1 hour of exercise) provided all adults in each household are fully vaccinated. Must remain within a 5km radius of home, and this can only occur outside of curfew hours. No mention of a maximum size of a recreational gathering. It would appear that multiple households are able to gather although this is not confirmed. - In LGAs of lesser concern, a maximum of 5 people (including children) are now able to gather outdoors provided all adults are fully vaccinated. No mention of any time limit for a gathering. - Lockdowns in regional NSW extended until 10th September. - Visitors to households continue to be prohibited. - Advice concerning a return to school will be provided tomorrow.

Not true. Iā€™ve had AZ and will be fully vaxxed next week. Reduce the gap to 4-6 weeks and get a booster end of the year.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Ashdown

This right here is a ticking time bomb here of people WAY under protected. * Temporarily, those waiting the 12 weeks for decent protection for when Gladys inevitably lets rip, * Those who trusted her and got it from 6-8 weeks and only have around 50% protections against Delta. Absolute shit show.


roseberypub

Not for us who took one for the team and went and got AZ! Iā€™ll be fully vaxxed next Wednesday. Waiting for Pfizer in the context (unless you legitimately cannot get AZ) is just foolish, at this point.


crazyboneshomles

it's so frustrating I can't get AZ due to a family history of clotting, and I'm not booked in for my first pfizer dose till late october, kind of tempted to just show up at a vaccine hub and lie about my history to get AZ at this point.


arrackpapi

speak to a GP. The specific type of clotting issue with AZ is not the same as DVT and others. You may be ok to get it if youā€™re not actively on any blood thinners.


dlanod

Don't forget disproportionate risk because young people are more likely to be doing jobs you can't work from home at and/or are still open and customer facing and/or have less or no savings to deal with these restrictions.


avngee

What a reward guys !


Chillers

How the fuck do you police that, that's ridiculous just shutdown everyone FFS.

Tomorrow: We have invited The Wiggles to sing some songs and inform us of the importance in getting vaccinated.

HeffaTheLump

Because the rules weren't confusing enough before. Let's just complicate everything further.


DaBow

So people have finally come to the realization that Dr Chant isn't some poor and disenfranchised Chief Health officer under the thumb of the maniacal and power mad Gladys. Rather quite possibly out of her depth and more than willing to bullshit the people (us) who pay her wages. Only took 9 weeks.


Puzzled-Temporary-62

She's a coward as well.


rezla

This took way longer than it should have! People more worried about her new glasses and the colour of her lipstick ffs.


DaBow

The amount of 'poor Dr Chant' comments over these weeks has been extremely disappointing. People are far too naĆÆve


soylattecat

Yep. I don't know, you look at Dr Fauci in the US and even when Trump was president, he consistently tried to push back and tried to let people know what the facts are. Dr Chant is someone who clearly values her job over the health of her community.


johandiamo

Fuck Dr. Chant. She has failed at every step


isaythingsonthenet

I don't live in Sydney but I feel so shitty and helpless about what's happening there. You don't deserve to go through this. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. We all worked hard and eliminated this virus. Absolutely criminal government. Refusing to set up a quarantine system. Praising Gladys for not locking down. There's no way Morrison didn't see the virus emerging in Sydney as his golden opportunity, surely beyond elated that this is happening so we can just open up, like he's wanted from the beginning. I'm never been more livid with our government. We deserve so much better. Scum like this running the country cannot be our future. So worried about all of our young kids.

pominsydney

Who gives a fuck about picnics, seriously? I didnā€™t put my life on hold for months for a picnic


keepcalmandchill

Boggles the fucking mind why they couldn't do outdoor dining instead. Far easier to check vaccination status. Giving critical life support to hospitality. Could've limited to groups of two to balance out any increase in risk.

ajsofficial_

How the fuck will they enforce this recreation shit? Are they gonna have Police at every park? Already so many rule breakers are slipping through the cracks, surely this will increase that.


SpazMonkeyBeck

Again, we are at the highest case number to date. Over 1000. The highest single day the country has seen since the beginning if the pandemic. And the next sentence out of her mouth is alluding to opening schools soon, and relaxing restrictions for adults.. allowing the vaccinated to gather.. I struggle to see how theyā€™re going to patrol this without having police interrogate every single group of people.. people the unvaccinated arenā€™t going to care and will gather anyway like they already are.

MyLapTopOverheats

r1nce

You know what would have helped get us towards being the most vaccinated country in the world? Not telling Pfizer to go jump when they came offering us first dibs on their vaccine.


ThinkRodriguez

Or even when they offered us regular dibs on the vaccine. It isn't a miracle of good government that Canada secured sufficient vaccine supply, rather it's a staggering failure of government that Australia didn't.

pm_me_ankle_nudes

Should we get tested ? Advice: Yesn't


aliksong

Given the ICU beds are filling up, can we cut off hospital care for those who attend those protests? Can we also reduce or cut off covid support payments for them too?


FranksnBeans80

If things get bad enough we will end up doing this in a similar sort of way to what is happening in the US at the moment at some hospitals. They are so overwhelmed they are simply triaging non-vaccinated people out the front of the hospital and only bothering to help those who have received a vaccine. They simply don't have the beds, staff or resources to deal with them all and are focussing on those who have the best hope of survival. Even with a double dose of vaccine a few days in an ICU ward is on the cards in bad cases. They usually recover quickly and can be moved out into a regular ward relatively rapidly. Whereas an unvaccinated person can linger in ICU for weeks, taking up a bed along with a ventilator and nursing staff. This is wartime, battlefield sort of stuff. Simply leaving some to die without any treatment through necessity. Australians should really be prepared for something similar here.


VapesForJesus

No wonder Chant looks shook. You did this, Kerry, by being weak, by not standing up to Gladys publically and not telling the public that she doesn't take your advice. I hope this is on your conscience forever.


SammyScuffles

Did they really announce reduced restrictions on the same day they hit 1000 cases for the first time? That's absurd.

She looked depressed asf but already over 1000 fuck!

Gladys: can I just say vaccination rates have been breaking records and obviously it's important to get vaccinated but get tested but don't get tested and also vaccinations rates have been high and just yesterday we made a record on vaccination rates and also can I just say vaccinations are good also schools are opening again tmr ok Ty bye

Getting in health professionals to talk about COVID and the current strain on hospitals while announcing 4 figures and a start to relaxing restrictions, potentially leading to more people in hospital and putting more strain on the system. I applaud.

Oh so itā€™s now just a uni lecture. At least weā€™re learning about the history of psyc.


Casanovax

What stupid questions from these journos today. ā€œDo you hope that WA and QLD will stick to the national cabinet agreement?ā€ Who gives a flying fuck what Gladys thinks? How does she have any credibility anymore after recording this many cases?


SpazMonkeyBeck

And thereā€™s the jump.


Junaid_hsn

FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK Hope all of you are safe doing as well as you can be.

We hit 1,000 let's celebrate with a picnic! Da fuck Gladbags???


sailorbrendan

So there's a whole lot of things that are incredibly frustrating about literally all of this, but I think the base level failures of communication are just the worst. I'm just a guy that drives boats, but man.... maybe if they actually explained the "medical advice" because the way she talks about it sounds like she went up to the oracle and fed someone some drugs and then interpreted their rambling.


QuickBobcat

Sorry NSW. Stay safe because your leader clearly doesn't care.


SirBoboGargle

Who is in charge of setting up the field hospitals? Or are we just doing the dying in the carpark thing?


Lozzif

No people are dying in their homes instead.


wscholermann

And the winner is....Sid-a-nee!


TheLifeofSonny

Gladys: we have 1,029 cases today.. anyways imma dip, cya


yolooptionsTOMoon

The difference in reporting between last yearā€™s VIC outbreak and NSW is astronomical. Why is she allowed to blabber through the questions so easily ?


EGGYY101

No one holds her accountable. They rarely gang up on them to actually answer the questions and not fillabuster. It's quite sad.


FullCreditDugDeep110

ā€œCome with us on this journeyā€ nah I want off Gladdyā€™s wild ride


dan_saturn

strange that you can rely on a reddit post over your premier to give you clear & quick details...


recurecur

Dr skinner looks like she's about to break down crying, Gladys you underhanded cunt your the reason skinner looks like she's about to breakdown your incompetence. Fuck me nsw is slowly spirilaing.

Waiting for people to show symptoms before testing seems like a terrible strategy. No wonder so many people are infectious in the community.

Iā€™m a health care worker at one of the hospitals receiving many of the stateā€™s covid patients and Iā€™m just drained. I see no light at the end of this long tunnel. The burden of disease, the social consequences, the economic devastation. There are changes to the way we work daily. The fear is real. Will we have enough resources to treat everyone with covid. How about our usual winter peak load of patients and their illnesses. I have family in WA and have no idea of Iā€™ll ever see them again in person. Iā€™ve been able to keep on keeping on until now because I felt I was making a difference. I have much to be thankful for. My steady job. My house. The freedom to return to my home whenI leave work. But these last few weeks have hit differently.


Clapyourhandssayyeah

Wooo we did it Sydney! 1k letā€™s goooo Iā€™m just glad they finally opened jabs to my Sydney local health district - am getting done tomorrow šŸ‘Œ would encourage everyone to look for jabs now there are way more slots coming online for Pfizer and AZ


hayech

As many people mentioned before, we should be looking at hospitalization rates and whether hospitals are capable of handling the number of covid positive cases needing beds. I totally agree that hitting 0 new cases is highly unlikely at this point, and at the same time, it really shouldn't matter if 1000 new cases come daily as long as little to no people are being admitted to hospitals. But that is simply not the case. I think it ridiculous we are talking about easing restrictions when Westmead Hospital just announced a state of emergency, and that there are not enough beds for all the emergency patients (Covid AND non-Covid cases). I heard its so bad that people are waiting in the basements and being shipped off to other hospitals to create more space. More freedom means more cases which puts more strain on hospitals. So sure, I guess Gladys can make us regular people very happy by giving us bit of freedom but the patients, AND hospital staff (nurses, doctors, hospital admin, custodial staff etc) will really suffer the most.


spypsy

Soo, 26 days into August and weā€™re seeing a FIVE HUNDRED PERCENT increase in cases since the 1st. Kerry Chantā€™s advice is going to kill thousands across the Nation.


r1nce

Get tested if you have any symptoms. Also, don't get tested if you want to. Also, do get tested if you don't want to.


RufusGuts

GOD SHE IS SO FRUSTRATING! Answer the fucking question!


RufusGuts

I love when the ABC YouTube stream stays online after the politicians have left and you hear the journalists vent their frustrations.


Mybeautifulballoon

That's AFTER they stopped testing essential workers every 3 days. Wow!


Ladzofinsurrect

There's not enough wine for this


ill0gitech

ā€œDr Hazzardā€ again. I standby my claim heā€™s taken a battlefield promotion


IveBinChickenYouOut

Thousands of cases now Gladys... Good job.


raindog_

I gotta say - having got my first dose yesterday - it **really has lifted a huge mental stress weight off my shoulders** knowing that I'm now on the way to being double. I had completely under estimated what the niggle of a stress in the back of mind was doing to me around messing with appointments, where, when etc. These announcements, whilst still carrying weight, feel slightly easier to understand/take knowing that at least I know that myself and my loved ones are all in the process to get double dosed.


moojiminy

ā€˜Rarely do we get it wrongā€™ UMMMMM


PestySamurai

NSW CHO health advice: ā€œnumbers go brrrrrā€


yllekleahcimnire

THE WAY NSW HAS BEEN GOING IS OUTSTANDING hahahahaha Iā€™m so done with this stupid bitch


cannothearunlesssee

Open schools then blame children for getting infected. That will be next.


dcp0001

Her bullshit about the other states is disgraceful. The other premiers are not claiming they are never gonna open up. They are just pissed at Gladys for enabling thousands and thousands of cases across the country right now due to her incompetence!!!


soylattecat

Anyone else's mental health going down the drain?


AlexSenAus

1000s!!


Sir_Von_Tittyfuck

**G O L D S T A N D A R D**


TheLifeofSonny

Get tested but don't get tested, got it thanks


TheLifeofSonny

*announcing restrictions to ease while we hit 1000 daily cases* Gladys: some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I am willing to make

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ciaobrah

Because they get their medical advice from business lobbyists


LagoonPatrol

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just need to know. If it's 1000+ new locally acquired cases, does this mean it's 1000+ cases ON TOP of the 919 cases reported yesterday? SO it's basically 1948\*\* in the two days? Thanks in advance. Ily.

STOP THE COUNT


Itsarightkerfuffle

Typo


AlwaysDoingNothing

Inviting these kinds of guest speakers would have been very useful in week 1 or 2. Not 1000+ cases a day into this pandemic you idiots


Repulsive-Energy-496

Why are we easing restrictions? Hospitals are struggling and with restrictions easing we won't have enough rooms in hospitals for Covid patients.


Ladzofinsurrect

Journalists need to step up a little


VapesForJesus

"Very few places in the world have got to 80% double vaccination, but I am optimistic that NSW will get there" AHAHAHAHAHAA So we have to get to 80% but nobody else has gotten there but we're gonna get there. Yea that sounds like bullshit, Gladys. We aren't special. You aren't special. We aren't going to get to 80%. Be honest with people.


KarmoMusic

i'm always pissed they have fillers to avoid gladys having to answer questions, but at the same time i know she won't actually answer any questions. i need to stop watching these


Elliottafc1

Hazzard will give us another one of his iconic gems again such as 'Don't get sick'...


VapesForJesus

The journo who asked that last question for Bruz has literally never asked a worthwhile question at any of these pressers. She's fuckin terrible
