And how are you enjoying the current intrusive government requirements? Sure as hell getting vaccinated and having some kind of thing on your phone will be a lot less intrusive than what we have now.

So...hold a moment, you're saying that kids could get COVID, and then some of those could get sick? Wow, I never knew! I'm a parent to three boys who has notched up a cumulative (and this is a life to date measure only!) 5 ambulance trips due to various illnesses and injuries. That's life, you...

Exactly this. We have been conditioned that any COVID is death to us all COVID. In the US/UK, they are conditioned that as long as ICUs aren't over-run, we'll live with it due to the social and economic benefits of opening up. If people think Andrews is going to stop his tin foil hat mantra...

Excellent post. It is difficult to see for example WA and Qld moving ahead as quickly as NSW.

As 7577969923 said, it will get down to who can get vaccinated the fasted to a level that the health authorities have enough confidence that ICUs won't be over-run by COVID patients AND the leadership of each state transitioning from 1 case will kill us all tin foil hat stuff to we can now live...

Yeah but hard to com Yep - but only compared to the reference group!

All you can conclude from that is the younger you are, the less likely you are to get really sick and as such require hospitalisation as a result of COVID. Don't think anyone who has posted here would find that new news. The RATE of the reference group in Australia would be kind of handy -...

Fixed your post to make it you know, factually correct.

On lockdowns for a moment and the vaccine % targets.... My concern is that we as an Australian society have been conditioned by the leaders of the country and the media that ANY COVID cases are terrible. We haven't come from the UK or US experience of tens of thousands of cases a day so when...

Excellent post. The 30yo who passed away yesterday in Sydney had pre-existing significant health issues.

This article sums up my views exactly. I'm not a fan of Kennett's by any means but he is bang on in this piece. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/lockdown-50-is-politically-motivated-and-unnecessary/news-story/2692297554fefd8cc475145e279aadc7

Bring that on and sooner the better. We are way too lax in getting vaccinated as most of the country (until very recently) haven't been subjected to numerous lockdowns and we've successfully had irrational scare campaigns against vaccines such as AZ which statistically are much less harmful...

Amen.

If Jaidyn does indeed "further educates himself on the topic" per his commitment, it will only re-affirm his views. COVID-19 will be the first flu-like virus that people aren't allowed to die from according to Australian policy and media. We seem to be running a complete elimination tin foil...

Thanks - I don't think that will work for the 40-49 year olds seeking Pfizer as you need to go to a state-run centre (and not a GP) for those.

After over 120 attempts to get through on the vaccine hotline my wife and I got a booking for this Thursday for the Pfizer at Jeff's shed - odd that Mrs Toes had to wait that long - maybe just different availability depending on location?

Thanks for clarifying.

It was extended yesterday if I heard correctly.

And who's to say all of those were over 100, where a downgrade on the thermostat in the bingo room could have done it just as easy.

It is about Pinkman being on the run and what led to his escape from the cage and Meth Damon. Depth? Well, you be the judge.

Unbelievable was great. Agree on Mindhunter Season 2. Hard to comment without a spoiler. Agree on The Boys - a great spin on super heroes - very original Best of Netflix I would also recommend: Manhunt:Unabomber, Bloodline, Line of Duty, Ozark (though the last season dragged on...) all good...

Short version of my joke!

A penguin is driving his car, when he hears an awful racket under the hood. Pulls over into a garage and Walrus the mechanic comes out and says what's up? Penguin tells him about the awful noise the car has made and Mr Walrus agrees to take a look at it, and says it will be about half an hour...
