NSW will not get 'cocky' about COVID response | Sky News Australia

Victoria has done the right thing by locking down their hotspot suburbs in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 , according to New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard. Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Tuesday that he will be locking down 10 postcodes across Melbourne after double digit spikes in COVID-19 cases over consecutive days. “We are concerned here in New South Wales,” Mr Hazzard told Sky News.

He said despite NSW relative success with tackling the novel virus, the government is well aware an outbreak could occur if strict health procedures are not adhered to. “We shouldn’t be cocky or complacent in New South Wales or indeed any state or territory," he said. “These sorts of issues can occur, it’s a human system.” Mr Hazzard also announced strict new rules for those that have been in the Victorian hotspots.

BradHazzard For goodness sake are you people not good with research and speaking to other doctors that say this is not a lethal Coronavirus? You are all sounding like you never went to school?

BradHazzard You are on a power trip. Remember who you work for. Us. Remember that.

BradHazzard Brad can we talk about your Nick Greiner days?

BradHazzard Bollocks!! Instead of counting cases how about reporting deaths? The real measure of a pandemic. No healthy person has died of this flu virus. Death rate is 0.0004% of population. Flu 2019 had 900+ deaths 0.00347 rate of population.

BradHazzard With this incompetent Health minister giving Victoria’s action the seal of approval I am concerned this might not be the best way to go

BradHazzard STOP FEEDING ASIA WITH TOXIC COAL! OUR PLANET IS DYING! CO2 LEVEL IN THE ATMOSPHERE 415ppm IF ADANI & SHENHUA MINES GO AHEAD,DROUGHTS, FLOODS, CYCLONES WILL INCREASE! EARTH WILL BE COOKED & FRIED! WE HAVE CLIMATE EMERGENCY! EXTINCTION HAS BEGUN! LISTEN TO SCIENTISTS!
