Yes , a right Royal stuff up by Scotty from Marketing but hopefully now the states are on board should be much better.

Really?
Which states have purchased the vaccine from a manufacturer?

1. The messaging was f*cked and inconsistent from Scotty
2. They simply got it wrong with many GP’s
3. They screwed around with Aged Care Facilities
4. They have been continuing to want to give Pfizer to Aged Care folk when they young were more susceptible to the relatively rare blood clots
5. They put all their eggs in the Astra Zeneca basket
6. The states are ready to roll when Scotty said sorry for trying to blame ewes for our incompetence
7. The administration of Pfizer to many tier 1A has been relatively seamless (by the states)
8. Now that production of Astra Zeneca will be made locally in good numbers then the states administration of it can occur.

But apart from that you might have a point

It would help a lot if people actually showed up to get vaccinated
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Good effort completing the Otways spin today, but it sounds like you are still focussing on the wheel in front of you and not on what you are reading.

The initial comment comment related to the purchase of the vaccine by the federal government. You then put your blinkers on and said something about the states being on board. Which they aren’t. Then you prepared a very nice 8 point list. It would have been better if that list related to the topic being discussed.

ABC blog reports:
Victoria has recorded no new local cases of coronavirus for the 58th day in a row.

There was one new case acquired overseas, from nearly 14,000 test results received.

There are now 23 active cases of coronavirus in the state.

A Victorian man who tested positive after returning from 14 days quarantine in Perth, remains in isolation in a Melbourne hotel.

With respect, just because I didn’t answer a narrowly defined question in the manner you didn’t like does not render as you put it. My point to PTID was that it was a right Royal stuff up by the Feds. That’s not even a debating point. However, it is a stuff up for the reasons I noted not just coz the European’s slowed the delivery of the vaccine

In Victoria, there were no new cases reported. That is, none acquired in the community, interstate or overseas. There are still 23 active cases. 12,680 test results were reported.

meanwhile India is reporting over 350,000 new cases and 2500 deaths each day, and that's just the ones reported. :shock:

A High court has said it would use the death penalty for people who delay delivery of Oxygen supplies, people are dying in the streets.
https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavir ... 92c96e3eb9
There are also fears the true toll of the outbreak is much higher, as cremation grounds across the country report a constant influx of bodies.

At one of the large cremation grounds in Ahmedabad, a city in the western Indian state of Gujarat, burns 24 hours a day.
You've got to see what they call a cremation ground. :shock: It's literally cones of firewood on bodies in the middle of a field. :shock:

https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavir ... 6edd4bc7c6

Speaking about under reporting numbers
In the central city of Bhopal, some crematoriums have increased their capacity from dozens of pyres to more than 50.

Yet officials say there are still hours-long waits.

At the city's Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat crematorium, workers said they cremated more than 110 people on Saturday, even as government figures in the entire city of 1.8 million put the total number of virus deaths at just 10.

It's entirely probable that they (and Brazil) already have in sheer numbers of deaths with most not being reported.

There’s a few more countries to add to that list: Turkey and Iran, Indonesia let alone some Efrican countries especially South Efrica amongst others.
