The Doherty Institute has got it totally wrong more times than I've had hot dinners so I doubt this will be any different.Thanks for that
You would have thought that the federal and State Governments would have had a system in place that includes the use of the Rapid Antigen Test Kits available from chemists80000 a day in Vic for Xmas holidays n legit crookness ...I have to get one on Xmas morning to travel to Magnetic Island...72 hours prior then another 5 days after I arrive. Risky stuff
Fantastic post, exactly how I feel about it and I have been posting as much in various Covid threads elsewhere on big footy, usually stay away from Covid talk on the Lions board as I like it as a sanctuary away from it.I don't understand why someone else's mask is only effective when you are wearing one.
I don't understand why someone else's vaccination doesn't work unless you are vaccinated as well.
I don't understand how you can simultaneously pitch to the unvaccinated that the vaccine works while at the same time be pitching to the vaccinated that it doesn’t work unless you get ongoing boosters.
I don't understand why in the middle of summer they are putting restrictions on folks over Omicron when it is doing the standard thing for respiratory viruses of being more contagious while less virulent while at the same time opening the borders when it was a 100% predictable outcome
I don't understand why workers in schools who have spent the last two years able to choose are suddenly being mandated when nothing has changed in the negative direction.
I don't understand the fetish for cases over severe illness/deaths
I don't understand why after listening to two years of get vaccinated we are still largely ignorant of what prophylactic and early treatment options are available to us
I don't understand why people are so afraid
I don't understand why the COVID specific consequences are considered so much more important than the health of our society and why the economic, social, educational and psychological outcomes are ignored
I don't understand why the Qld Health website tells us to not use alternative treatments without being able to answer questions about the side effects and the interactions with existing medications while simultaneously pushing everyone to get a non-approved medication still under trail.
I guess I just have a different movie playing in my head. I mean it makes sense if we are dealing with ebola crossed with plague with no symptoms and a 50% death rate and no immunity and we need to dodge a zombie apocalypse but as far as historical pandemics are concerned this one wouldn't even be in the poll for worst pandemic ever.
100%, posted this on another board >not sure that many people across the nation would get tested in a single day to produce such a number
I thought this must be miss reporting of a figure. But link below confirms the number and referrers to "Doherty Institute Modeling"
Even if the modeling was a TOTAL of 250.000 i doubt we get anywhere that figure
Get well soon Gadz.Didn't know where to put this - mods Delete as appropriate please.
The four of us living at home in Qld are recovering from covid. All double vaccinated, no specific result yet but assume it was the omicron strain.
Three days of mild symptoms - headache, throat, gut, tired and bit fuzzy thinking. Two years ago it would have been ignored and life as usual.
Lot less scary now we have had it. Hope you all have the same it a lesser experience.
Bloody music festivals.
Speedy recovery to you and your family!Didn't know where to put this - mods Delete as appropriate please.

Ours are getting vaccinated, not out of any deep seated desire to protect family members but rather to protect the kids. COVID is generally less problematic in kids but there are still examples of kids getting very sick from it. Many more than cases of people having issues with these vaccines. If we can protect them, why shouldn't we? But that's just our logic.
Of particular concern are the rising hospitalizations among children. More than 4,000 children are currently in the hospital with COVID-19, an all-time high in the pandemic, according to tracking by The Washington Post. The current number of hospitalized children is nearly double that from two weeks ago, when fewer than 2,000 were hospitalized. Several doctors and health experts have anecdotally reported seeing higher levels of COVID-related croup and bronchiolitis in children.
In an interview Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration Scott Gottlieb said that omicron appears to cause more disease in the upper airway rather than deep in the lung, where severe disease can take hold. That may be a problem for "very young children—toddlers—who have trouble with upper airway infections, and you're in fact seeing more croup-like infections and bronchiolitis in New York City among children."
51,356 cases in Victoria today...
.. it makes a mockery of the last 2yrs of lockdowns, what a catastrophic waste, families kept apart, business's collapse, tourism almost destroyed, a society of carefree citizens now seem to be at each others throats and just generally angry......and now we are going to be having food shortages in our supermarkets for various reasons, major stores e.g K-Mart closing due to lack of staff with Covid..
The lockdowns stopped nothing....the virus just waited for us to come out of our hidey holes and pounced, got ya!
I cry for what this country has become.
That includes a week's worth of RATs being counted for the first time, so not really 51,000 today.51,356 cases in Victoria today...

how do you confirm your positive rat test ?
A positive RAT is considered a "likely positive", and should be sufficient for most government purposes equivalent to a PCR. No need to confirm any more.how do you confirm your positive rat test ?
