News & Events Non-Football COVID-19 Discussions

Say you catch covid and are vaccinated and it doesn't do much to you, but then next year you get it again (you have had you're booster shot) but are perhaps a bit more sick from a variant that stronger, then the following year you get a mild case...and so on. What happens after we have had it 10 times. We will be allowing it to come, and allowing us to get it multiple times. Will there be some sort of damage to our bodies that will eventually catch up with us and make really sick.
No. The immune system doesn't work like that. Think of it like memories. For example - imagine yesterday you ate a really tasty looking jelly bean that was flavoured like a piece of dog s**t and you ate it and thought, "this is really gross I am never doing that again". But then next year you see a piece of dog s**t that looks delicious but that smells really similar to that jelly bean, and you take a really big sniff of it and it makes you a little woozy, but you remember that jelly bean flavoured dog s**t that you ate last year, and decide not to eat it because it was nasty. And then the year after that, you come across another similar piece of dog s**t that looks really tasty, but maybe this one is a different consistency, and so you have a little nibble, but then before you can go any further it triggers the memory of that dogshit flavoured jelly bean that you really didn't like, and you remember that it is a bad idea so you run away from that particular strain of dogshit.

its just like that.

The jelly bean is the vaccine, and covid is the dogshit.

The Enquiry was setup to lay the blame (and deflect the Media's questions) somewhere, so someone was going to be thrown under the bus.

I'm expecting the Police Commissioner next because P *** as off you didn't know private security firms were going to be used

I reckon it'll be Pakula next. I assume it was someone in his department who sourced the security guards. I'm not sure they were the biggest issue in reality (infection control and contact tracing were bigger issues) but it's become so a hot issue anyone linked to it is cooked.

I'm not sure how Mikakos hung around for so long. She's the health minister in the middle of a health crisis that was badly handed by the health department.

does anyone know what the grounds for leaving the melb ring of fire are?

i understand you can view a new property if you have a written declaration from the agent, does anyone think doing a school tour would be a passable reason? (thats if schools are even allowing them of course)

I highly doubt schools would be doing them.

Yeah I agree. From the outside looking in, and knowing how paranoid our govt have been and still are (no parents allowed on school grounds for pick up/drop off etc despite about 6 non-hotel-quarantine cases since late May) I'd say school tours are a way off in Vic.

Going to make it tough to move , we need to be gone by Feb.

I guess we could just rely on Google reviews of schools, what could go wrong?
No harm in calling the school and asking. The worst thing that can happen is they say no tours but they may offer alternatives
 
No funerals, no gyms, no grand final drinks with your mates...

It is so dumb. Hopefully the Stockholm Syndrome crew finally wake up and smell the horseshit.
