I'll keep this brief and add a very large   because it's a bit of a touchy subject in AU right now but essentially:

The current outbreak started in NSW when an unmasked, unvaccinated driver caught Delta from an infected member of an overseas flight crew he was transporting to the airport. Rather than lock down hard and fast, which is what literally EVERY OTHER STATE has done, the NSW Premier dragged her feet and failed to implement a proper lockdown day after day as case numbers continued to climb.

She also ignored the lessons from other states who went through large outbreaks last year.  There is a long-standing rivalry between NSW/VIC and NSW/QLD and it seems the NSW Premier would literally rather let COVID rip through her state than admit QLD and VIC were right and adopt their strategies.  Add to this the MSM and useless PM who praised her all through last year for not locking down, because money.

Cases are now wildly out of control in NSW and due to a rule allowing people to travel to holiday homes (    ) it has spread to regional areas, where there are limited health facilities.  The Premier is blaming the NSW public for not "doing the right thing" yet it is her soft rules which have allowed it (e.g. you may have seen the pics of Jimmy "exercising" down at Bondi last week, which was technically permitted...).

She is now telling all Australians we're going to have just "live with it" and pinning her hopes on vaccinating her way out of this mess.  Problem is our penny-pinching PM didn't order enough mRNA vaccines because he wanted to use the cheaper locally-produced version, which until recently was not recommended for anyone under the age of 60 and has suffered huge brand damage from confused public messaging.  

She's already allowed construction workers to go back to work (because money) and is planning to ease restrictions further at the end of August despite the fact that at this rate cases by then will probably be 1000+/day at least.  Oh and she's also rushing year 12 kids back to school to finish their exams even though we have NO vaccine approved for kids under 16 and 30% of current cases are infected school children.  

The NSW Premier and Health Minister have failed their constituents and put the entire country at risk with their arrogance and hubris, IMO.  

ETA: That ended up not being very brief at all sorry but I did warn you not to get me started.    I shall say no more.

I know the odds makers have Holly as F1 and my understanding is she lives in the same area as Jimmy so that would make it more difficult to track, but has anyone "slipped" on their SM?
