Does anyone else get confused when Rachel is sticking it to the Feds and not Dan?

Was at the Asian shop this morning and there was a jar that said Cheese Bong so I had a look.
They were cheese flavoured fish sausages!
Who would eat that? That is the worst.

Ya like pizza? Try this one from Pizza Hut : 香菜皮蛋豬血糕比薩
basically it combine two traditional local snacks - Cilantro, Preserved Egg, Pork Blood Cake Pizza mmmmmm...

also from a local pizza shop 巨型雞佛起司比薩 or Giant Chicken Buddha Cheese Pizza
Chicken Buddha is their cute name for turkey testes

Ok so........ Pfizer is picking and choosing which countries to send vaccines to.
Not over the amount of deaths or devastation?
But only sending it to countries that make a serious effort? And that serious effort is the prime minister ringing up having a chat.
So I take it New Zealand only got junior bureaucrats to ring up Pfizer too.
And they treated them badly? "Hey Pfizer, your Mum is fat"
So then after all that! while ScoMo is cooking a curry and watching the tennis at the same time, Kevin Rudd rings them up and says "Hey Pfizer, I know people are dropping like flies in other countries but can we have the vaccines first? We've had a 90yo die this year who had Covid but we don't know if she died from it."
Pfizer says "Yeah no worries Ruddy. We were just waiting for someone to give us a call."
So we should expect all the vaccines this month now?

We're starting to get some in any quantity now finally. Originally had a deal with Pfizer and Germany back in January, but the ChiComs stepped in and they killed it. Then a Chinese compayn Fosun got rights to distribute Pfizer in 'Greater China' region. So these a-holes who go with China's assertion that Taiwan is a part of China block any other countries attempt to bring it to the island. They and the opposition pro-China KMT party are agitating for Taiwan to buy the Chinese vaccine.
Thankfully Japan and some other countries are shipping vaccines here now. Still slow, but beginning to make a dent nationwide.

Oh and as for getting complacent about covid and restrictions etc. Learn from Taiwan. Some more a-holes were slack at the airport quarantine hotel and other entitled quarantine breakers seeded a surge in May. Schools have been closed since then, mine too. Restrictions on gatherings have eased slightly this month. We'll see at the end of July.
Play the game out, it ain't over till its over. (and with covid it probably never will be)

F**king great. Folks are speculating on Twitter that Melbourne could be locking down for a few days if there's more cases discovered linked to the removalists from Sydney. Thanks Gladys!

They have just put out one of those fragments of virus detected in areas like Geelong Leopold Barwon etc

That came out yesterday and it pre-dates when the removalists were in Melbourne

Ah ok, just saw it pop up at the same time. Apologies

Can't have the snotty nosed rich kids having to spend time in "lockdown", can we?

 

[winty]

They're not stuffing around!

I think it’s time I move down to the bunker... #doomsdayprepperlife

Then there's this bit of news today...



Highly probable the Feds are rigging the vaccine rollout with spreadsheets to suit their own needs and seats. It's the only reason not to publish.

The states aren't even being given this vital information to help target messaging and urgent priorities.

 

[cats_09]

All good

With the latest news tonight it's easy ty link the two

It's just that I've read the other previously and saw something earlier tonight that gave a date range for the fragment testing in the region

Nothing like waking up and noticing there's a couple of tier 2 exposure sites just down the road. Thankfully I haven't attended either of them, but it is quite daunting nonetheless.

The Barwonheads ones or are there others?

Haven't been in to Melbourne for 2 years. Been an MCC provisional member for 4 years and not been in. Pay the annual fee every year and wonder why I'm doing it. Realise it's purely for fear of wasting the 20 year wait for the privelege. Still pay.

Decide to actually get something from the membership and wait online to book tickets. Get level 2! How good is this?!

Wife and I go to the game, feel like imposters sitting in MCC on level 2............

One time in Melbourne, first time MCC, now an exposure site. That's it, I'm not leaving Geelong, shouldn't be an MCC member! That's what you get for wanting the privelege of MCC access.
