Omicron is the most infectious disease in history. The ‘measures’ the NSW government has introduced for schools are pathetic to prevent it, and are being applied in barely half-arsed ways anyway. As in the US and UK, a tsunami of infections is coming in schools. The 3000 infections in NSW public schools in week 1 (privates not even included yet) alone were mostly infections brought TO school, after the holidays. We haven’t seen even the beginning of the big surge in school infections yet. And from there, out into the wider community. Infections lead to hospitalisations, which lead to deaths. Which leads to ‘economic’ breakdown. The same script, over and over and over.
