"January 3 2022 was a day like most others in the roughly two years of the
COVID-19 pandemic preceding it – except it wasn’t.
Despite reassurances from a federal government desperate to consign the health
emergency to history, it was a day in which the number of new infections in
every state (bar Western Australia, which is closed off) soared to record
highs.
Hospital admissions were spiking too, even though intensive care admissions
remained lower than the worst days of the Delta outbreak, due to the apparently
milder effects of the Omicron variant and high community vaccination levels.
Nonetheless, NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard’s deliberately frightening
suggestion just weeks ago that his state could face 25,000 cases daily by the
end of January now looks conservative."
