Contact tracing needs to be done within 24 hours, start to finish, not ‘at least’ 72 hours. It’s a pathetic effort and has been called out during the inquest by his ex-CHO (perhaps that’s why he is an ex). Furthermore, the person needs to volunteer for it… Now that Dan made it a crime to be out, out for some time, out for some reason, etc. I don’t think most people would submit to tracing for fear of incriminating themselves. You are finding those who are doing the right thing; and missing the entire section of those who did something ‘illegal’ (sounds ridiculous).
He gave nothing in terms of plan, when industries can open, what numbers, how, when. This is called a plan. He did not deliver it, regardless of what you think about guarantee… This is what’s required and he had more than enough time to do so. Plans change, everyone understand that, but he chose not to provide one at all, just swings and roundabouts.
He did not in fact provided plans for hospitality, because outdoor dining is governed by space and local councils, which he didn’t mention. Can they have full space? 1/3? 1/4, 100%? What about car parking in those areas and access, what about distancing for other shops in the area? It was all ‘maybes’ and not factual. Again, useless. And ‘continue’ with takeaway is not a plan, it’s a statement to current state, NOT a defined path forward (AKA a plan he promised to deliver), that one would expect from a plan.
Plan is something like this: we go to the end of this street, then we turn left.
He delivered: we might go somewhere and maybe we might turn in either direction.
I think your definition of a plan and mine are very different. strategy is a bit more high level, but a plan is something that includes details.
Singles “bubble” - what the hell is that? Why can’t my mum, who lives with my dad visit her grandkids who are isolated, but Bob’s partner who lives in a share house with her roomies, can can visit Bob for a shag. Do you not see the stupidity of that approach? This is who is leading us. Personally, I am terrified.
Any other state and territory.
Actually, there are pandemic plans, where are they? Why is it not being used? What is it? Again, wrong on all accounts.
Excluding industries…
Because everyone is stating that they weren’t consulted and if they were, those statements would get called out. Again, totalitarian power hungry approach with blinkers on. completely opaque. Perhaps the correct term is egotistical.
First, deaths, which are attributed to covid, but not tested. For example, deaths in aged care are written of as ‘due covid’, if pops sneezes the wrong way, they are not tested. Makes you think, ay.
Average deaths at the same time last year and a year before that. Just telling me that 100 people died means nothing without context and comparison.
The infection rates… I am beginning to have doubts due to contact tracing, like what you are seeing now could be weeks old. What’s the severity?
Hospitalisation rates (again, with context, compared to same time last year) is it 0.001% or 1% - this context is really important.
There are two things here. A statement of fact and an assumption. An assumption is ‘could anyone do better’? No idea, don’t care, it’s not relevant to current state, he’s at the helm. The statement of fact is that he is way over his head, he is the primary cause of the initial outbreak and he doing a very poor job of managing it. So there’s that. If he’s (and his ministers, who are an absolute disgrace if you watch question time) fuck up so many times and so consistently, perhaps it’s time to admit that you’re a fuckup.
It’s not fact of the matter. It’s an outcome of opaque process. Not seeing something doesn’t mean it’s the case. It could mean (and right now looks likely), that you are being denied an option to see alternatives. He excluded everyone outside of his circle in the decision making process, etc. He requested 12 months of emergency powers WITHOUT A PLAN or strategy. That should give you a hint as to why you are not seeing things. He is running in emergency powers mode, i.e. he dictates, everyone else listens. There could very well be better plans if others were consulted, but they were excluded. And to top it off, there may have been and he just rejected them because it didn’t fit his own ego, process, career plan, popularity? Fact of the matter is, it’s not for the lack of plans, it’s due to the lack of transparency.
