Coronavirus 4 - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I had a quick look, neither NSW or Victoria have any vaccination mandates for weddings, anyone can attend of any age, vaccinated or not and can dance.

Exception would be if the venue itself has vaccination requirements (eg a Pub) which makes it murky but under 18 is exempted.

Since we opened up States(except WA) have weakened the Rules/Restrictions since the 90% of People Vaccinated Twice and not putting them back on

From the article

According to a recent Victorian Chief Health Officer update, unvaccinated people accounted for 22.8 per cent of people in hospital and 35.8 per cent of people in ICU, despite making up less than 6 per cent of the population.

All other things being equal, underlying medical conditions definitely have an impact, but the same applies for vaccinations.

So be Vaccinated with underlying medical conditions also make a Big Difference?

Absolutely. Covid can still kill you but you're a lot less likely to die being vaccinated than not.

Hospitality and other venues still require full vaccinations but even there kids can come in without them.

I'm a little worried to hear about Andrews' push for "fully vaccinated" status to shift from two shots to three (for purposes of being able to participate in public life).

Same. I'm concerned about them wanting to introduce booster mandates.

Well the last Mandate they had for Vaccinations only lasted a Few Weeks

Huh? Most of them still exist…

Interesting as I’m going to a wedding next month and we had to provide vaccination status with the RSVP. Although if Dan gets his way, I’m fully vaccinated now but won’t be when the wedding occurs!!!

I'm a little worried to hear about Andrews' push for "fully vaccinated" status to shift from two shots to three (for purposes of being able to participate in public life). I only became eligible to have a booster shot this week, but having just had COVID I don't think it would be wise for me to get it right away. That certainly seems to be the advice of at least some medical experts:
?

Under Victoria’s vaccine mandate rules you’ll get an exemption for 6 months after having Covid.

[think positive]

Yes it’s true. I know an anti vaxer back at work using it.

[stui magpie]

You CAN get an exemption for UP to 6 months, but you need a compliant GP to complete and submit the ATAGI form to the AIR. It's not automatic.

Reported in Victoria today:

Hospital: 707
ICU: 79
Ventilated: 29
Deaths: 36

and in NSW:

- 2,494 hospitalisations
- 160 people in ICU
- 31 deaths

[Pies4shaw]

That's now 4,056 reported COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic, half of which have been recorded in the last 2 months.

What do you make of that, apart from it being bad?
