NSW is bracing for another day of soaring COVID-19 cases but the state's chief health officer says it won't necessarily be a numbers game going forward and is in 'mixed minds' whether she wants to see an increase in numbers today or not.

NSW is bracing for another day of soaring COVID-19 cases but the state's chief health officer says it won't necessarily be a numbers game going forward.Chief health officer Kerry Chant said those numbers need to be interpreted base on their time spent in isolationYesterday, the daily COVID-19 case figure ticked over into triple digits for the first time since April 3 last year, with 112 infections recorded.

"The numbers are a bit variable because we have to interpret about whether we are getting to people early," Dr Chant said when asked about what to expect today.

If you ask a health minister or an epidemiologist, they'd ask you to isolate at home forever. They're kind of like structural engineers. Why put one load bearer when you could put 5 or 6..you know...just in case.

Has anyone at ABC News asked the government what cycle count they're using in their PCR tests and if that number is standard across all PCR tests in Australia? There have been reports that the higher the number, the more likely a false positive will result.

Yes, if you have symptoms, maybe sending someone you live with is not sound medical advice. Perhaps phone your pharmacy or use a pharmacy online instead of risking yet more spreading.

She's a menace. Like her mentor. Fear mongering destroying people's lives for nothing. She'll be thrown under the bus eventually when the truth comes out about lockdowns and how deadly this scamvirus really is. Sickening.

Their corporate donors and supporters have too much say on GladysB decision making this year.

We’ve been messed around so much by GladysB and BradHazzard that I don’t have any confidence in anything said by the NSW Government - not even Dr Chant - who has often just been used as a puppet by Gladys COVID19nsw GladysFail nswlockdown

More financial help expected for NSW within days amid extended COVID-19 lockdownPrime Minister Scott Morrison says the federal and NSW governments have reached an in-principle agreement to provide the state with additional economic and mental health support. So you shove this shit in people's faces until they are craven in the kitchen corner, then offer the traumatised an opportunity to ring beyond blue. An in-principle agreement between Governments with no principles? Is that possible?
