Coronavirus 3 - Al Pacino's turn to mumble

[Dave The Man]

Apart from using battery on my phone, what does the COVID Safe app do?

Nothing I think

So I see the lefts favourite spin doctor has suddenly changed his tune yet again after yet again being proven wrong.

May 2020- There is no chance it came from a Wuhan lab- ABC spin doctor

May 2021- It now looks likely it escaped from a Wuhan lab- Same ABC spin doctor...

Yeah, ahh, I'd take anything you read on that One America site with a large grain of salt.

[stui magpie]

Yeah, I was just reading this one.

In Victoria, 4 locally-acquired cases, 2 overseas-acquired (in HQ). 39 active. 47,462 test results received.

Here's a useful guide to the restrictions from the ABC, with pictures and drop down menus. I have no view about its accuracy but it's certainly more fun to play with than the usual dour lists.

Enjoy.

Thanks P4S! Nothing there about laundromats, I see, lol.

David i walked passed one this morning and it was open, id say its fair to say its essential, lot of units around and not everyone has a laundry or laundry fittings. cheers

So Scotty from marketting the "do nothing PM during the pandemic response" despite quarantine being a federal responsibility has finally agreed to build some non-hotel quarantine accommodation options. He should be congratulated. This comes more than a year when this was being asked for by Queensland.

Finally admitting he stuffed up big time for not doing anything of value to assist in the actual quarantining work he should be applauded.

Presser happening, now. The 4 newly-reported community cases are all linked to existing cases (which is encouraging).

Wow, terrible news & so young

[Pies4shaw]

Just a follow up from that Guardian article on the numbers in the UK:

Under-40s in the UK are being offered an alternative to the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab where available, after reports of extremely rare blood clots with low platelets. There have been 309 cases in the UK out of 33 million people given the AstraZeneca vaccine.

I bet the People that saying they where not getting the Vaccine where the 1st to Call and 1st in Line to get the Vaccine Now

[Pies4shaw]

Probably, Dave. I'm in a quandary. My specialist told me at the start of March (before the programs were launched and clarified) that, because of various pre-existing conditions, I had to have the Pfizer vaccine - but the Government won't let me have it - I'm in the Astra-Zeneca group. Given the limited availability of the Pfizer and the fact that there are other people who need it more than me, I am basically continuing to isolate, hopeful that some more Pfizer will eventually become available. Since I'm a strong supporter of vaccination and remain reasonably confident that, with my health profile, COVID will kill me if I get it, it's a fairly unhelpful situation.
