The NSW Premier has said today he doesn't think they'll bother with school RATs after the first 4 weeks of school. This was their plan all along. Do some symbolic testing when kids went back, to give the appearance of caring. Then when people were habituated to schools as Covid soup, take the tests away. The libertarian playbook. Refuse to deal with a pandemic. Then suppress all the evidence of the outcome. Without testing, you're flying totally blind. In the UK they're not even going to report how many die every day.
