Correct me if I'm wrong but....were Victoria or NSW Jockey numbers hit this hard by Covid?

I don't recall it.

 

One thing for sure time for the mandatees to go, they clearly haven't worked. Although some bright spark will try to say it could have been worse...I doubt it.

I didn't recall it either, although I guess we aren't really to know, there are a large number of jockeys in Australia, a pretty big fishpond.  Unless you had local knowledge, hard to ascertain.

One thing though,  at the time of the various 'lockdowns'  we [ in NZ ] seemed to enjoy pointing the finger over the Tasman and crowing over how well we had done containing the earlier variants, and comparing the spiralling number of cases compared to us.

It may well be that exposure to those earlier variants have produced a degree of herd immunity that we don't have.  Yet.  Just saying.....and, while I am 'just saying',  what is the point of isolating folk  who are not unwell and who are perfectly capable of doing their job?
