Exactly what was predicted to happen is happening.

More restrictions brought in as WA's daily COVID-19 case tally tips over 1000
**** me I hate it how he keeps spreading fear and doubt and panic with every statement he makes.

On how lucky we are and how well our government has handled the pandemic? All the time.

1000 cases isn’t ideal but the good news is I just got my care package from a mate in Ukraine. A few supplies and some fun activities to do whilst we’re all locked down under this tyrannical regime, very thoughtful.
Do you think the reason he made that statement today might be because there's an obvious and unreasonable amount of panic around about the daily case numbers?
Well this was yesterday:
WA warned it will soon hit 1,000 COVID cases per day after 732 new infections recorded
More than 700 new COVID-19 cases are recorded in WA again and the Premier warns the number will soon reach four figures, as a $67 million relief package is announced for businesses affected by restrictions.

I keep hearing the usual suspects accusing him of spreading panic, but every time he says something about local case numbers, it seems to be the opposite?

Didn't really answer my question
Ah, well if your point is he's doing the opposite of spreading panic then I agree with you, despite what you may or may not read in this delight of a thread.
I agree he is trying to.......now.
Even as recent as a month ago, that wasn't always the case though. I think that's fair to say

A month ago he was announcing the border was staying shut as NSW recorded the highest number of deaths all pandemic, with no peak in sight and a lot of uncertainty around what Omicron meant in terms of impact on the health system and vaccine effectiveness, so the situation was a bit different too. But he probably wasn't saying "DON'T PANIC CAMPAIGNERS, STOP LOCKING YOURSELF DOWN" like he is now as people complain they're being locked down by imaginary boots on their heads.
Messages change as the situation changes

Well he was telling us that over east were effectively in a lockdown while we were watching them pack out the tennis* so I get it could get confusing
*by "we" I mean weirdos that actually watch tennis

This has been one of my grave concerns throughout. While ruling through fear-based messaging may have been politically profitable for McGowan in the short-term and fear-mongering media coverage commercially effective, we're now faced with a lot of people who are scared out of their wits to go on living their lives and unfortunately, the social effects will last long after these clowns are gone.

Yeah it was McGowan who said this.
Self-imposed shadow lockdown is crimping consumer spending
Vital Signs: small businesses need a national support plan to survive shadow lockdowns
For many small businesses the past month has been the most difficult period of the pandemic. Australia needs a better plan to help more survive.

Tracing the ‘nightmare’ reality of the shadow lockdown
As supply chains collapse, government policies have created a situation where as much as 40 per cent of the trucking and freight workforce has Covid-19.
Public health experts suggest more restrictions the only way to emerge from Australia's 'shadow lockdown'
As Omicron spreads around the country, thousands of business like Adam Ellston's are being affected while some public health experts suggest more restrictions are necessary.

Well the first question I asked you was why do you think McGowan is saying "don't panic" now, so maybe ask him?
Also just read some of the posts in this thread (or any social media)
I wouldn't worry about them mate.
It's quite humorous actually because after larrikins post a number of days ago the only people posting mostly is the same (pro vaxx/lockdown/destroy your family and business and separate us from the world) crew who keep circle jerking each other and baiting others lol.
They're like in a debate contest team now where the other team hasn't shown up and they're now debating with each other.
Yeah it was McGowan who said this.

They were in as much of a "lockdown" as we are now
To be fair it was the health minister who actually said it
Well I do have him on speed dial so maybe I will.
The only ones on here expressing any sort of panic are the usual suspects, the tiny minority who self lockdown because wearing a mask is too burdensome, and who combine McGowan's name with various 1940s dictators.
They're also the ones who continuously accuse McGowan of spreading fear and panic, which I always find endlessly amusing because if true, they're the only ones actually listening to him.
The people I know in real life are doing what I do, heading to work on the train each day, grabbing lunch and maybe a sneaky drink after work before heading back home on the train.

The effect of a virus running through the community and everyone consequently staying home more to avoid it has a similar effect to a lockdown when you're running a small business.
Everything else is pointless semantics, but given that's where this thread genuinely excels, by all means carry on.

And you would know this from Sydney because…?
I rewatched his press conferences twice and he said no such thing. Also Hutchings was best on.

You’ve posted in this thread 27 times in the last week.
As I corrected myself above, it was his health minister saying it
Given the usual on here are having a pile up on another poster claiming WA is in a "shadow lockdown" it seems a weird double standard
