One hypnotises on Sydney's numbers is that certain groups are not keen to get tested even when they get symptoms and only calling an ambulance when things get worse or after it is too late.
Nobody wants to name any ethnic backgrounds or cultural heritages; Aunty G defended her health minister when he made some comments about groups not following the rules.

I live in one of the worst affected LGA, higher numbers come from certain suburbs - not whole LGA; only way out is to wait till full vaccination numbers reach their target.
