And for plumbers in WA, DHHS has an important message about safe celebration of the present festive season: https://twitter.com/VicGovDH/status/138 ... 70/photo/1
Why a Plumber in WA would have any interest in what a Victorian government department that no longer exists publishes, I have NFI.

For the record, DHHS no longer exists but they haven't managed to tidy their various on-line presences yet.

It was chopped up into the Department of Health and the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing.

he may however be interested to know that a 2nd Australian has developed blood clots after the AstraZeneca vaccine, a person in WA.

I'll bear that in mind when I restructure them, next.

My local suburb got named this week in the latest edition of Victorian Government fear mongering.

Although I’m pretty confident I’m more likely to catch pneumonia over the weekend than Covid and that would be a lot worse than Covid also!!!

Update: Viral fragments detected in Ringwood and surrounds wastewater

Residents of and recent visitors to Ringwood and surrounds who have even mild COVID-19 symptoms are urged to get tested after viral fragments were detected in the local wastewater catchment. Weak detection of viral fragments in a wastewater sample collected on April 8 has been confirmed by further laboratory testing.

The catchment includes some or all of Bayswater, Bayswater North, Boronia, Croydon, Croydon North, Croydon South, Heathmont, Kilsyth, Kilsyth South, Montrose, Ringwood, Ringwood East, Sassafras, The Basin, Tremont and Wantirna.

Anyone who has been in these suburbs and has any symptoms of COVID-19 from 6 April to 9 April is urged to get tested.

Fragments of the virus detected in wastewater may be due to a person with COVID-19 being in the active infectious phase or it could be because someone is continuing to shed the virus after the infectious period.

Further information about the wastewater testing program can be found here: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/wastewater-testing-covid-19

For more information check the regular CHO media release shortly here: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/media-hub-c ... e-covid-19.

And now they’re having huge problems with the AstraZeneca vaccine.It was safe apparently,now they’re telling us that it shouldn’t be used on anyone under 50,and those people should get the Pfizer vaccine instead,which is already in short supply.

Why did the government put all its eggs in the AstraZeneca basket?Was it a cost saving measure,purely because it was a cheaper vaccine?If so then that’s pretty shameful.Why didn’t they buy up alternatives like Moderna and Johnson and Johnson,which only requires one jab?Apparently they’ve ordered tens of millions of doses and of another vaccine,Novamax.But that’s still in the testing stages and may be a year away from delivery.

As I said,it’s a pretty shambolic rollout of the vaccine,and questions need to be asked about how the government handled this whole fiasco.They’ve. clearly over promised and under delivered,in contrast to other countries like the US,which have done exactly the opposite.
As to your Johnson & Johnson comment, I read somewhere that its composition was similar to the Astra Zeneca. That may be why the FDA has now recommended that the use of Johnson & Johnson be suspended due to blood clots being suffered by 6 women aged between 18 and 48, within 6 and 13 days of receiving their jabs.

That's the Media, not DHHS. DHHS is the one that made the report regarding the shit samples.

As has been mentioned here numerous times, they keep pushing this out there every few days yet still we get donuts every day for months...

But they have to keep pushing this myth that Covid is spreading through the community undetected.

You’d think with the hundreds of suburbs been mentioned in recent weeks they’d uncover at least one case? Otherwise it just looks like then pushing false belief that Covid is running wild, undetected and people should keep living in fear...

^ And if they didn't report it, you would be the very first in line, hysterically screaming about government secrecy and Labor conspiracies to hide the truth.

Grow up.

You are taking to Eddie right ?

Eddie would complain if he won tattslotto and see it as a conspiracy because he should’ve won more.

Eddie, get a clue. I don't think either of us is a Labor voter. I am certainly not one.

It’s funny how many of the ass kissers say that.

“We love Dan, he’s our hero, everything he does is so perfect...But we never vote ALP...”

But even then it doesn’t change my last point, you’d still kiss ass and say how great anything Dan does and you didn’t dispute that either!

It was his first comment that caught my eye.
I like martial arts and regularly watch the UFC on Foxtel.
I have never thought of martial arts being "naked ..... porn" though.
Tannin must watch it for different reasons than I do.
