If you have a voice activated assistant on your phone, like Siri or "Hey Google", they're listening all the time otherwise how would they know to respond when you ask them to?

I don't have a voice activated assistant so I wouldn't know. And after what you have told me, I won't be getting one.

Does anyone know of the Crows players with Myocarditis from the vaccine?
Nothing against India. They make excellent door furniture.
And yes, I am seriously suggesting my conversation was eavesdropped. Not by a human, but by algorithms.
Mind you, humans do sort through conversations to “make the experience better for you.”
In fact, they hear a lot more than you could ever imagine.
Voice assistants are always listening. So why won't they call police if they hear a crime?

I had the Pfizer booster yesterday, and unlike AZ, next day I have a sore arm. Mouth felt dry last night. Also felt close to passing out when I got up in the early hours for a pee and had real trouble getting back to my bed, but this could have been a mix of the stuff I use to help me stay asleep and the vaccine. Certainly discouraged me getting up again.
Feel fine today.

Booster shot moved forward to Friday. My reasoning is that the hangover on Saturday will override and nullify any side effects from the jab.
ISO REPORT FROM THE NORTH
I am in day 10 of Covid iso
The princeling developed symptoms 10 days ago (his GF 2 days later)
(his second Pfizer was in September, no booster)
Princeling's rapid antigen showed positive on day 1
First subsequent PCR was neg which he ignored and took a second PCR on day 4 which was positive
(had 3 pos rapid antigens before PCR was pos)
Christmas dinner for 20 at my house cancelled (ate some leftover gnocci instead and watched final episode of Succession)
Have had 5 neg rapid antigens with no symptoms
It likely helped I had my third Phizer on Dec 14 - so encountered the pestilence fully juiced
Will likely get vaxxed every 3 months from now on (private market can be arranged if ATAGI too slow in approving 4th vaxx)
This seems to be the optimal frontier based upon declining antibodies
It is also the way Israel is going which has been ahead of the curve - amazing how fast a nation responds when it has been on a war footing for 70 years
My son's mate - who recently completed US Marine training - said he believed that his vaxx dose was much higher than standard, and that they are receiving other anti-Covid enhancers
An acquaintance runs a large hospital in Sydney and said his ICU covid patients are mostly unvaxxed, some co-morbidities with Delta who are vaxxed, no Omicron cases in ICU yet
It is good iso period will soon be reduced
Omicron looking like a manageable way out for nearly all of us in Australia, especially if we are vaxxed

Hopefully the obsession with boosters eases over the next couple of months or at least it doesn’t become mandatory. After being crook from pfizer there’s no way I’m taking it again and I’m in two minds about moderna, which has similar illnesses listed.

The Novax one is Supposed to be Available mid way thru January.
Getting Covid without being Vaccinated could be lot worse then getting Covid without being Vaccinated
It’s hard to disagree with this.

Why is our Federal Government so hesitant in stepping up to the plate and treating all Australians on an equal footing?
They should be busting balls to get these tests for us to get our economy back on track. This is not a thing that should be left to the haphazard State Governments.
States fight for rapid antigen test supplies as federal government sits back
Victoria and NSW have placed large orders for the home testing kits as local pathology labs strain under PCR testing pressure.

I'm nervous about the likely hood of 2022 season. I suppose if players get omicron before March then hopefully it's done and dusted and no Ill side effects will allow them to play....
Yet another unknown. March feels like it's 3 years away

The are hard to fathom at times the Morrison government, now is the time for some leadership. Covid is exploding everywhere even here in Qld and now we are getting mixed messages on testing which I think shows there are probably more people with it than are being reported. The govt is looking like it did when vaccinations first started ie not very good.It’s hard to disagree with this.

Daicos Torpedo You can catch the virus more than once.
I just got my booster yesterday. I am definitely not feeling 100% as I have very low energy today.

Our booster is due end of January. More than once? I thought once you got a particular strain of any virus your body knows it and then less likely or not possible? Correct me if I'm wrong as I am no scientific expert...
Biggest issue with the Feds not being the main purchaser of the RAT‘s is the simple fact that the states are now competing for the kits and driving the price up accordingly.
Stupidity.

Pfizer booster received yesterday afternoon. It was administered by 2 of the most cheerful nurses one could encounter.
Local soreness and a headache is about the extent of my symptoms so far. Nurofen has helped.
Happy New Year and all the best for '22. Let's not speak much of the sh*t year that we have put behind us.
