My preference for Phizer is purely it’s slightly better  effectiveness %.
I can’t have vaccine until Xmas time ( approx ) so will probably get it…but otherwise….Astro or maybe Moderna ??

I think Moderna supposed to be very similar to Pfizer in effectiveness. It works the same way.

They won’t give it to you if you have a history of allergic reactions though.

No Moderna in Australia yet. Haven’t got much Pfizer either. Plenty of Astro……but a lot don’t want it.

Update on the lockdown escapees.

NSW have now added to the fine tally for their unnecessary stops along their escape path.

Sadly I doubt that $10,000.00 in fines is enough to deter others from doing the same next time…

True.
If they’re so special that they believe they can ignore the lockdown rules, then they’ll have no issues ignoring the fines as well.

Regarding payment of fines. Each State/Territory will probably have a different method of trying to obtain them. Like a lot of things in Oz not one standard.

What could occur is that if the fine isn't paid, it may convert to a Warrant. If a Warrant isn't or can't be paid the person has the option of going to Court. At times this can relate to the person spending more money as they have Legal fees and Court costs as well as the original fine.

Some states will advise the Motor Registry so that when a person tries to renew a car registration or drivers licence they are prevented until the fine is paid.

I do agree some people will think they are above the law and just not pay.

Copied from a mate.
"Community announcement as of 6pm tonight regional NSW is moving to the restrictions that Greater Sydney was on.  Mask wearing will be compulsory in all indoor situations, 50% capacity at outdoor events,  all hospitality patrons must be seated and no more than 5 visitors to your home."
:(
Here we go again.

You know what would be better?
Yes, compared to what has happened elsewhere & is still happening.
I get your point.

People not being selfish bastards, being switched on, being Informed and not thinking that these restrictions do not apply to them.
I Just want to go and live in a cave, next to a creek, grow my own stuff, And let the world shaft itself.
Consumerism is!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I'm normally a better person, I'm not alone, :( :(

Recap on latest update, Sydney lockdown to begin at 6pm
By Lucy Cormack

In case you missed it, here is a recap of the latest NSW COVID update:

    Strict stay-at-home orders will apply to all people in the Greater Sydney including Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Wollongong from 6pm Saturday.

    The lockdown will remain in place until Friday July 9.

    An empty King Street Newtown on what would usually be a bustling Saturday morning.

    Everyone in Greater Sydney must stay at home unless it is for an essential reason: shopping for essential goods, medical or compassionate needs, exercise outdoors in groups of 10 or less, essential work or education.

    Community sport will not be permitted during the lockdown.

    Weddings will not be allowed from 11.59pm, Sunday, while funerals will be limited to one person per four square metres, capped at 100 people. Masks will be compulsory while indoors.

    Anyone in regional NSW who has been in Greater Sydney since June 21 must self isolate from 14 days since they left Sydney.

    Police will be using number plate recognition technology to monitor for vehicles from Greater Sydney.

    Transmissibility of the Delta strain is at least double what previous variants have been.

Bingo, this Shit is constantly changing, no different to the Flu.
Every year your flu shot is different to last years, difference being this bitch mutates quicker.

It’s rife in the UK.

However, it’s not actually killing many people, or even making them seriously ill.


Just heard on the radio that over 50s will be getting a booster shot in the autumn, possibly combined CV/flu.

That’s what we’re trying to achieve here with a lockdown. It sucks for a lot of people, but if we don’t keep our cases near zero, we don’t know the outcome if we let it go out of control ?

Even though we have to let some people back into the country, we still don’t know how to quarantine them properly.
