Coronavirus Outbreak

[Guest]

So now that we will all need an app. to confirm that we are vaccinated I and people like me are basically ruled out of participating in life.
I work from home on a computer but I find technology intimidating. I still have a Samsung series 2 phone that doesn't download apps..
There's a whole generation of people like me that will now choose to stay home.
This will sound silly to those of you who deal with this as a matter of course but it's a real fear to me and I'm guessing hundreds of thousands of people. There is no way my elderly parents would cope.
I've accepted that even though I am vaccinated I will be spending the next 30 years at home.
Yesterday I needed petrol for my mower, I got half way to the servo and turned around because I remembered that I would need to QR check in and I don't know how to do that.
The simple solution is to mandate vaccination for all. It's the only way to be safe. But we don't wat to infringe on the rights of those who want to spread a virus.

Hey mate. That sounds rough but you can check in manually to places by giving your details. I am sure that things will be put in place to cover this scenario because as you said there will be many people in this situation

Kelp your head up

Yes good point..you can also print out your Vax Cert from medicare and just carry that with you..

Certainly does make it more challenging, particularly for many elderly as you mentioned and others that struggle with or are uncertain with technology.

More concerning down here is that I switched on the television and as it was last on channel 9 overnight, I saw Gladys being interviewed. Her refusal to answer and deflection from continued questioning on her opening up at 56% rather than around 66% of the population that was supposedly recommended by health and it's Chief Officer Dr Chant is worrying.

I know that most of us long in lockdown don't want to spend a day longer than necessary under these rules, though is getting a haircut or similar a few weeks earlier (for the advantaged amongst us) really worth the further seeding and lives lost as a result of not taking the reasoned health advice?

There are alternatives to downloading an app.

That's good advice for the majority.
If I asked my 86 year old Maltese mother to log in to mygov. then link it to her medicare and print out a vaccination certificate my next request could be to build a space shuttle and fly it to Mars.
I struggle to use mygov. People like my parents, the 70 year old retired Greek fruiterer, the 75 year old Lebanese bloke smoking his huka on the verandah, don't even have computers or smart phones.
People like me and them, we're being left behind and we just have to accept it.

Electric mowers are game changers. Never need to leave your house.

I know you're joking, but I actually ordered one online yesterday for that reason.

I’m not joking. I’ve converted over hedger, leaf blower and mower. Not sold on edger yet. Might try this summer.

All you have to do is ring or go into Medicare for a form pick up or they post one and they post out a certificate.you will have around 6 weeks to get one ,

What Mike refers to as "vaccine apartheid," will not last forever. I know Dwight doesn't actually fit into that category as he is jabbed, but it won't be forever. Businesses who might be fully vaccinated might not want to close off their business to unvaccinated individuals. It looks as though people who are going to be eligible but remain unvaxxed by choice are going to represent a small fraction of the population anyway, it would make no sense to keep those people locked up forever once everyone else is vaccinated. Those people will probably get COVID eventually, they'll survive and have immunity or they'll die. That will be the reality for them.

Don't feel too bad about that, mate.
Everyone struggles to use Mygov. If it was a commercial website they'd go belly up in the first month of trading.

Honestly I think you will be able to go to service nsw and get them to print it out for you. They did that with the dine explore vouchers.

Hi @Dwight-Schrute
You can obtain a card from Service NSW that will allow you to check in at venues without a phone. You present the card on entry and an employee will scan the QR code on your card and it uploads your details as a visitor to that site.

I am sure they will incorporate something similar for people to provide their vaccination details easily.

I’m not actually convinced of that. Some businesses and people would like this to be permanent.

I am not against businesses making that decision for themselves, if I am a business owner and I wanted to make it mandatory that employees or customers are vaccinated I should be able to do that. Some businesses it should already be mandatory like aged care.

It won't be through a government mandate forever though. They'll eventually relax the rules and leave it to businesses to choose as they please.

Thanks for sharing mate, I know a few people in the same boat as @Dwight-Schrute that would benefit from that.

Hot tip mate. Dwight will need to find out whether the Service NSW equivalent in QLD will do the same, as I think he's based up there.
