SYDNEY, Aug 18 – Sydney’s Delta outbreak has not peaked and residents must brace for more deaths, authorities said on Wednesday, as Australia’s largest city continued to break records for new daily infections despite a nearly two-month lockdown.
“We haven’t seen the worst of it and the way that we stop this is by everybody staying at home,” New South Wales (NSW) Premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney, the state capital.
NSW reported its biggest daily rise of 633 new cases, including 545 in Sydney, eclipsing the state’s previous daily high of 478 hit on Monday. Sixty people have died since the first Delta case was reported in Sydney on June 16, including three confirmed on Wednesday.
With only about 28 percent of people in NSW above 16 years of age fully vaccinated, state Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant warned there would be more deaths if cases continued to rise.

It's the same guy...counted as a Covid death

30 cases a month. That’s about 1 per day. That’s even with them rigging the numbers by calling anything even marginally ‘covid’ related as an actual ‘covid’ death.
I’d be willing to bet that more than one person a day dies from heart disease in Sydney.
Keep in mind as well, that they are in the middle of winter there, so are also in the middle of their cold/flu season.
Too bad Australia has gone full authoritarian. I hear it used to be a nice place.
170,000 people die every year Down Under from all causes.
