Feb 5 was the date set before the omicron variant took hold over east.
It would be reckless to open up now given we have almost zero community
spread. Like SA's measures to limit the omicron spread it buys more time
to get booster shots into more people protecting the vulnerable and
protect the health system from being overwhelmed.

McGowan is saying he's not going to open up until 80 -90% of the State
is triple vaxed! On current estimates that's sometime in May! he's an
idiot. you're not 'living with Covid', like we're supposed to be doing.
he's trying to make the State 'covid safe', and that will never work, as
Andrews found out.

So what?

he's an

Really so going from almost zero public transmission to overwhelming the
health system by opening the borders overnight is a good idea is it?

you're not 'living with Covid', like we're supposed to be doing.

It's been one disaster over another over east largely due to incompetent
handling while we have managed just fine living relatively normal
unrestricted lives.

We're doing fine thanks.

Meh, heard it all before. All the delay does is provide for a buffer so
we can better prepare for the omicron strain. We have that luxury and
should exploit it as it will save many lives. It would be reckless to do
anything else.

Seen the death rate for Covid in NSW lately? In Australia?

https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer

Just set it for the country you want and compare with setting it for
Australia. The trend line is scary stuff. 46 deaths yesterday, and a
rapidly rising trendline. Frankly, I don't blame WA for the stance he is
taking. I wonder if, ultimately, it will do any good. We had high vax
rates and all the other good stuff - but they dropped the ball, dropped
the mask mandate, then shit happened.

I've been prudent and wear a mask *everywhere*, even for the brief time
they dropped the mask mandate.

I suspect it will get worse before it gets better. The link above
certainly points to it.

The eastern states don't seem to realise the benefits of COVID-zero. WA
was helping out other states with contact tracing, while theirs had
nothing to do. WA path labs have been processing a few thousands tests
for other states, which are overloaded from Omicron. And a large food
factory opened an extra production line to send stuff to eastern states
supermarkets with bare shelves. I really think SA and Queensland should
have staggered their openings, to avoid 90% of the country going down
the S-bend together.

There were a lot of things that should have been done. Just a simple
thing like ensuring a ready suppy of RATs would have been highly
beneficial. A staggered release would have been good but simple things
like retaining the mask mandate at the same time would have been better.
Prepare for a rocky road ahead.

From our perspective the approach the east has taken has been a
failure, clearly placing the economy above population health has only
served to harm both so why would we want to emulate it? We have done
well so far and are in a very fortunate position. We will learn to live
with COVID in time but the better the prep the more lives will be saved.

A leader being decisive and willing to make tough decisions is what is
needed and that is what we have - something you lot over there could
have done with by the looks of it.

that's not what happened in Victoria. Andrews ruined many ppls lives and
livelihoods with his draconian pursuit of zero infections. Melbourne was
the most locked down city in the world!

What governments here lacked was a *plan* for a transition to a Covid
herd immunity future. The Feds let us down mightily with *late* vaccine
ordering, insufficient supply and, now, lack of RATs testing kits. We
seem to stumble from one cockup to the next with this government.

We definitely did need decisive leadership here in NSW, both at state
and federal level. We didn't get it then, we're not getting it now,
we're unlikely to get it any time in the future.

We were ready for delta and the Feb 5 date was set for Delta. Nobody was
ready for omicron which is blatantly obvious observing the mess over
east. We have the luxury to prepare for omicron and opening on Feb 5th
would have been reckless.

It always was.

There is no stopping Omicron, and anyone who thinks you can keep it at
bay by shutting the gate to travelers is a complete idiot. Instead of
wasting time on nonsensical stunts such as border closures and English
into English translations, the imbecilic WA Premier should focus his
attention on encouraging the public to get up to speed with their
