Coronavirus Outbreak

[Geo]

I'm having a glass of Draytons' White Port from beautiful Mudgee. I had it hidden away for years but it was time to open it. Goes well with the AZ and keeps the Covid away.

I have just knocked back a few Guinness' while chatting to @Tiger_Steve over zoom lol

So that's how it is...

I don’t even blame scomo anymore about vaxx supply , I blame the media more than anyone as we had AZ for people to access and still do have millions in excess supply , but the scaremongering about the clots made normal people heistant ( yet it was good enough for the UK to use ) and now with the latest outbreak everyone is scrambling to get vaccinated

Nah, Morrison called a last minute night time press conference just after Easter in April to announce the concerns and changing of age groups for the AZ vaccine. His position at the pulpit is the most influential in our nation and his words there changed the community's concerns around AZ much more than any other in dominating the news cycle.

We must not let this guy's flip flopping on whatever is politically expedient at the time guide us, nor forget his direct failures in both quarantine and procurement then rollout of the vaccines that has us in this unnecessary position.

NSW records 1,533 new COVID-19 cases, four deaths as total infections in Wilcannia near 100

I couldn't paste that link properly it's from the ABC so it's freely available, anyway not looking to stir things up or anything and have no agenda or use social media and only use YouTube for old Maggie's games really lol but yes 4 unvaccinated deaths and 130 odd unvaccinated in ICU.

But also sadly 7 fully vaccinated in ICU so no I wasn't dribbling as some were to say. When I mentioned nearly everyday it was because the last 2 weeks I've probably read 200 plus articles and was picking up snippets from different sources.

But what concerned me most last night was that key information is dribbling out from the government and not making mainstream news. The following link I found but yet could not find it in mainstream media and is extremely concerning.

Another 2 AZ deaths in their 50s sadly. No wonder the the government siphoned news like that from the media because since they don't have adequate vaccine choices they're pushing for under 60s to get vaccinated with AZ unlike any other developed nations except for the UK who invented it so not real good for their re election chances.

They probably have an agenda.

I don't disagree that AZ is not the recommend vaccine here for <60's for valid reasons, but because our government stuffed up procurement and rollout we have little choice now than to balance the risk with the benefits in NSW and probably Victoria, even if it is also the inferior product as well.

Was interesting to read the Thai health department stating that they are seeing good results from the 1.5 million administered with a combination of Sinovax and a follow up AZ dose that allows a much shorter time between shots. They are also mixing Sinovax with the Moderna according to a friend who had the first this week is booked for the Moderna shot a month later.

The government has done pretty well with jobkeeper and the like, we are getting the vaccines now.
The other mob wouldn't have done any better, Albo won't distance himself from Anna P's comments on unvaccinated kids.
Everyone gets a vote at the next election so let's see how it goes, Dan Andrews changing his tune about Delta Qld and WA live in cave let's see how the ALP vote goes in qld at the federal election if borders do not open

Moderna has been approved for kids 12 to 17. Now to see if anyone will actually let's there kids take it or will this be call the next "experimental vaccine".

The mixing of vaccines was very positive. This is what we want to see more of.

One other thing which I thought of early on was Russia's Sputnik vaccine.as well. Lancelot done a good study and it seems to be safe and as effective as the others where used (especially in Argentina which has a good health system) and even more importantly I believe correct me if I'm wrong is made using a technology which can be applied here at CSL meaning we could have produced our own sooner. I know it was mentioned early on by government medics that they didn't know whether it was safe but in my view we could have at least tested it ourselves with our own scientists and bought it under license, but it sadly probably wasn't even considered for political reasons .

Also would have been good to see those testing kit (immediate pct test kit I think) been used in all health care settings, nursing homes etc. Where my brother is stranded OS they use them in routinely daily in simple office settings. Imagine somthing simple like this how many lives could have saved.

Today the Premier said, No statewide lockdowns '**ever again'** once NSW is **80** per cent vaccinated? Now i'm not sure how to accept her promise, because if we are following the path of other countries who are well advanced than us in the vaccine rollout, such as Israel,
Israel said they are upping the vaccine ante, pressing citizens to get Covid-19 **booster** shots and saying those **who don’t** will face **restrictions** on traveling, dining out and other activities,

So, while the Premiers promise may be true the posibility after this 80% is that there will still be many people under restrictions, and that there will again be many questions asked and discussions raised as to why these people haven't received their third jab?.

What about when we get to receiving the booster shots, do you think those people will be put under restrictions if they haven't got the booster after a certain time?

I would take anything the premier says with a grain of salt until it happens. Aren't we supposed to be able to be getting manicures and haircuts as long as all involved are vaccinated

If there is restrictions for unvaxed people...I certainly hope that exemptions will apply....

I have an eye specialist appointment next week and received a text… it states if I am unvaccinated I need to have a COVID negative test 3 days prior to my appointment ….anyone attending the appointment needs to have the same..

Just raise the lid on the toilet prior to 11am and allow the crap to bypass ears on the way to where it belongs.
