NSW Covid-19 update: 1,116 new cases as premier says she ‘can’t recall’ worst case modelling

NSW has recorded 1,116 new cases of locally-acquired cases of Covid-19 and four deaths. When asked why the government would not release the modelling they were relying on to make decisions, NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian said there were numerous models that changed daily. Pushed on why she couldn’t release the worst case scenario modelling, she said: ‘I’ve seen various versions of modelling and I can’t recall all the numbers but I can tell you this much – that we know that the rate of hospitalisations is likely to peak some time in October’

  1. my mate has just informed me that while taking his mum to the local clinic, he spoke to a guy who said his bro in laws cousin died after 48 hours of the Jab, and they got paid out by the government to keep there mouths shut.

  2. ALL NON ESSENTIAL HEALTH STAFF AND SUPPORTERS NEED TO STRIKE UNTIL THIS PERSON STEPS DOWN.
    As a State trained Pandemic Manager The worst case is a loss of 25% of the population, make shift hospitals in shopping malls, mass deaths of health care workers, Police refusing to go to work and armed forces managing law enforcement, bombing of bridges to prevent movement, mass food shortages and starvation, Fuel shortages = transport sector collapses- power systems go down- no internet- no communications, economic collapse due to loss of tax revenue, mass homelessness, So… worst case is the complete collapse of society and utter anarchy.. Perhaps if you told people this in the beginning they would have stayed in doors as instructed- People have a right to know what is coming – Stock up on food, medical supplies, secure your homes and have means to protect yourself… It's not the virus people should be worried about.. It's what comes after. Our Country, and individuals, need to become self sufficient as soon as possible for supply chains are already slowing, our Goverment knows this but is too afraid of the panic and terror so its is being down played by our Prime Minister 70% Vaccination is not the answer as it will continue to mutate and they already know that a resistant strain will emerge- they are just trying to hold the economy together as long as possible, just like WHO did by not declaring. Only answer is complete self sufficiency as a Country and that in a Capitalist world where big Pharma is profiting from this we have no chance..

  3. She says the modelling changes all the time but stands fast on the Doherty modelling numbers. . Even Doherty has said the modelling changes all the time so it’s not just 70-80% that matters.

  4. The Liberal NSW Premier and all her cronies have a case of Dunning–Kruger. Premier, please know that is where incompetent people believe they are competent. The reverse is also true, but it doesn’t apply in your case at all.

  5. I hope you’ve read the report by Matt Barrie on Medium, “Australian public fed nonsense as country heads to irreversible position.” It goes into the massive data gaps in the Doherty Report…
