sooooo i have my doubts about someone ...... since you can self report a positive RATs test, what is to stop an anti vaxxer lying to get an immunity exemption?

it does strike me as ironic that all the anti vaxxers i know have a fake certificate
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

Probably nothing stopping them.

I've only seen 1 fake one and looked fine until you compared it side by side with real ones

You need more than a positive RAT to get the $450.

The disaster payments have now closed, only available during lockdown.

All good thanks Stui.

Red headed chick and 24 year old both experienced a couple of headaches on the weekend & I felt like a head cold was coming on but nothing eventuated.

So apart from being a bit bored not being able to go out even for a walk, I think we did OK.

No PCR results received as yet so going by RAT, red headed chick tested negative so we will exit iso tomorrow. Hubby is going into work tomorrow - they have put aside (from their limited supply) a RAT so he can test before entering.

So, I haven't been able to buy any RATS, will a Hamster do?

Do you still need the gaffer tape with RATS?

Even though that's not exactly what he said, are you surprised. What incentive do any pharma firms have in making a cure. They are getting billions of dollars and want us on a 3 month vaccination cycle.

If it continued at this rate everyone will have caught it before the season starts.

$750 if you're working full time, but given anti vaxxers aren't working, don't see how they could?
