Merry Lockmas.

Victoria has recorded 71 new local coronavirus cases as restrictions tighten for childcare and more exposure sites are identified. There are now more than 600.

"The prime minister, Scott Morrison, has challenged the states over their resistance to opening up the country once 70% of the adult population is vaccinated, saying Australia can’t “stay in the cave forever”.

Agree whole heartedly.   With Delta Variant there is no Covid Zero.   We have to live with it to get back to where we once were.   
We have two options.   

1/ Get Vaccinated and hope you get a minor dose of Covid that doesn't effect you too much and there is no long term side effects of the Vaccine.

2/ Don't get Vaccinated and hope you survive Covid and there is no long term side effects of Covid.   

The only option you have to be Covid Free is to live in your cave with no one allowed in and you never leave your cave.   

We need to be Australia, not the Un-United States of Australia.

We have the Prime Minister for NSW and the NSW Premier who thinks she is the gold standard lecturing everyone else on how to stuff things up.
Well, that is what it looks like to me on the news last night.

Yep. That’s how it is alright.

I liked her line this morning about no state or country in the world has COVID zero.
And she’s right.

Especially after she made such a royal stuff up in the important state, then let her mess spread over the ditch and destroyed the record run of zero cases they’d been enjoying over there…. ::)

Any chance that this thread can get back to being about Covid?

The number of posts that are only focused on what politicians are saying is amazing. I am pretty sure that the politicians weren't at the protests or have been leaving their lockdown areas for parties or who have been lying on their declarations to get on a plane / across the borders etc.

Obviously mistakes have been made (Gladys admitted that on Current Affair last night) by everyone but did anyone expect anything else due to the evolving nature of this pandemic including how the Delta variation changed the goal posts. Pretty sure that everyone here has made mistakes in their lives also

We are all responsible to get out of this mess

Yes. That’s our light at the end of the tunnel. It’s the transition phase from now to then the that’s concerning. Here in QLD we have started doing worksite vaccinations in distribution centres and abattoirs. It suggests that the Government  is concerned regarding supply chain security.

Thanks Troopy, you beat me to it. Do try to keep the thread on track. Anyone who thinks they can live covid free is living under a rock. Get vaccinated and get back to living again.

2nd jab for myself and the wife today, AZ, super important for us now as the wife was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer last week, Polycythemia Vera. Treatment starts Friday with a venesection (blood letting), bone marrow biopsy the week after and another venesection. Hopefully by mid September we will have an action plan in place to slow this thing, sadly it’s incurable and combined with Parkinson’s life just got a little tougher. As she said, let the fight begin, we might not win but we bloody it’s nose!

Thanks guys, we will work through it, we try to remain positive and we will do everything we can to enjoy our life whilst we can. It just brings home that it’s important to take note of what is going on with your body.
The symptoms for this disease are odd with some people showing no symptoms, some showing more than one. So if you have any of these follow it up.
Itchiness and red skin after having a hot shower or bath.
Welts on the body which are warm and tender to the touch
Prolonged and easy bruising
Persistent infections
Any blurred vision.

Anyone who thinks they can live covid free is living under a rock. Get vaccinated and get back to living again.

I’m going to try !!  Because I can’t get vaccinated yet, I’ve got no choice . Apart from the one new case today, lockdown is working OK for me. When they open the floodgates is when it makes it hard…..there will be cases loose in the community and it’ll become a lottery for me.

But if we can go camping, it’ll be somewhere nice and quiet…and safe…..away from people !!

Well it looks like I was wrong (again).

I stated earlier in this thread that the Toowoomba quarantine center would never get approved.
I was wrong.

The state government has side stepped the federal government roadblock and done a deal directly with the land owner to make it happen.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-26/covd-qld-wellcamp-toowoomba-regional-quarantine-facility/100403692

Can’t wait for Queensland to have potentially infected arrivals spend their quarantine time out of our major cities and in dedicated, specifically built facilities.

I also can’t wait to see Jonesy spitting and frothing over his favorite family getting such a big government contract…. ;D ;D ;D

Can almost hear the excuses now for when the first bungle happens and a case or someone escapes the new Quarantine center and gets into the community ..  ;D ;D...
Still reckon RAAF base Scherger on Cape York  is a better place for it .. Along with RAAF base Curtin in the Kimberley and the Howard Springs facillity for all returnies to Australia  ..
