1st AZ jabs tomorrow for both the missus and I. It will be interesting to see if either of us get any aches and pains.

And it’s just another one of those industries that profits dictated all employees should be casually employed.

And as we all know, casual employees generally have to work several jobs to earn a decent wage.

So now we have staff working in several different retirement villages and spreading the virus to all of those poor unvaccinated elderly people.

This is pretty much exactly how the last mess happened, only this time it’s happened to a group of people that were supposed to be fully vaccinated 2 months ago. :(

It may be the case that is another group of people who maybe choosing not to be vaccinated, which apparently is the case of the 92 year old patient who has contracted the virus.
Some residents are of sound mind but trapped in buggered bodies and so I’m guessing  they figure that when you hate your quality of life, refuse the shot and it maybe a ticket to clock out of this life.

Man, as much as I agree with you.
That's A bloody sad indictment on our society.

Our Daughter went into Quarantine Yesterday morning in Sydney.   Some of the things you don't think of.    After being in the States for five years trying to get her phone to work as a phone in Australia.   Hotel had a Optus sim card.  Great.  Not.    Her American carrier will not unlock her phone but they will 'buy her phone'.  That works.   Spoke to Optus about getting a phone to her.   Told to go online and buy one and they will send it to her but that could take two weeks.    She will be out by then.   Went to Post Office and bought a unlocked smart phone and mailed it Express so hopefully tomorrow or the next day she will have a new phone.   

Part of the reason for a new phone is due to food.   While the Hotel she is Quarantining in the menu for today is just not the food she eats.   Uber eats will deliver to the Hotel but needs a phone number.    The other option is to get Woolworths online to deliver 'snacks' to Hotel.  Other food items from the Hotel is over priced by comparison. 

Tomorrow could be sorting out her old bank account and an active visa card.   

Her Cousin, the only other family living in Sydney is isolating waiting for a test result before they can get anything for her.

Mrs and I had our AZ jabs yesterday.
She had a very light headache this morning, and was a bit tired later in today. A nanna nap fixed both.
I've not noticed anything at all.....not yet, anyway....

Cheers Kev,
Just heard a news report that some of the staff of these Homes, work at several Homes. Authorities are surprised that numbers aren't higher.

Sadly, you’re probably right there as well.

They’re saying today there is still 6 facilities that haven’t had a single dose and 600 facilities that have only had one dose. Everyone in these places were supposed to be fully done by March, it’s now June.....

Though I’m sure there is some elderly that will decline the shots as you have suggested, the fact that there is still a huge chunk of the staff working in these age (and disability) care facilities that haven’t had an opportunity to get vaccinated is just disgusting.

On a positive note, it’s great to see all of the posts on here with so many swaggers getting their jabs. Well done team!

Even if I am a little jealous of you oldies.  ;)

My work puts me in situations where I come in close contact with goods from infected facilities.
I just happened to be in a business with goods from the Grand Chancellor soon after the last outbreak in Brisbane. The business owner just mentioned it in passing and I stayed the hell away from that part of the building after that.
I also do a lot of work in hospital facilities that have goods coming straight from the COVID wards.
Even though I work in potentially high risk environments, constantly travel interstate and to New Zealand and I live with elderly parents, I have little faith in getting my vaccinations any time soon. :(

As I’m under 50, I’m not on any of the vaccine roll out plans. I saw a depressing graph last night and on current projections I shouldn’t expect to be getting a jab until the end of the year at the earliest, most likely early next year.

We’ll see what actually happens in the wash up of this current disaster, but at the moment I have little confidence in those that are supposedly in charge right now doing the right thing to protect ALL of us.
