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  ..
Yes, that will be from the other one the feds are building in the old army barracks right next to the Brissy airport. ;)

This is the site of Scotty’s quarantine center in Brisbane. Gold standard for sure… ;D



Apparently they’re one step ahead of you with this one Edz.
As recommended in the preliminary report, they’re working on CCTV analytics software to provide discrete detection of potential escapes.

Another issue is noise, particularly from flights taking off and landing at Brisbane Airport, with monitors registering some at 89 decibels or more.

After that they just need to figure out how to hide the PFAS contaminated soil on the site.

Once all of that is sorted, they’re due to start construction in December and opening in March next year.
Considering how perfect this site sounds, I really can’t see any possible delays in building this one…. ::) ;)

Yes Pete. I couldn’t understand them wanting to use that site other than being cheap as the Federal Government already owns the land. Too many negatives, which is why I suspect the State Government wasn’t  very keen.

We both got our second jab yesterday morning at 10:30.  :cup:

Asked them about the 1st jab reaction regarding if our immune system is good, better or bad.
Didn't really get a reply one way or the other.  ???

Astrid, no worries or side effects, well, not until i crashed out.

I was going great until around 3:30 or so, when i started to get pretty tired.
Slightly watery eyes, slight sniffles, just felt like i had a cold coming on.
Took 2 Panadol's, crashed out at 7pm and slept for 9 hours. (i did get up to pee twice)

I had some really whacked out dreams and feel 100% ready to take on the world now.

So, be it good, bad or somewhere in between, we're both fully vaccinated now.  :angel:

I was going to ask my 'Injector' which dose held the Nanochip, or if there were Nanochips in both doses, but couldn't bring myself to do it.

After the 15 minute waiting time when I was asked how I was feeling I was tempted to say 'wow my 5G reception is fantastic now' :)

Things are starting to circulate about another new strain of the virus that has been identified.  Just what we need.

Just back from getting second AZ jab. Had no ill effects from first, so, fingers crossed, same result from this one. :D

I think its time to get the Chinese to come in and start building some of their 10 day Hospitals.... Would take 10 years to get approval and go thru hoops in this country

Hospital beds is going to be the issue not just covid people but other Shit. Time to start planning.... not when its been and gone.

While I don't disagree with you, a lot of planning has gone into beds, ventilators etc. The overseas experience is that staff fatigue, staff numbers and consumables are going to be a big problem. NSW Health is already struggling  according to reports.

Oxygen supply, anaesthetists, intensivists, anaesthetic nurses, COVID ward trained nursing staff etc etc are all going to be in short supply once they open the nation up to COVID. When you are short of staff or oxygen , people die who otherwise would have gone home in a few days. Lots of surgeries will be cancelled or unavailable. Thats just part of the medical issues.They are asking people to conserve water in Florida as they purify their water with oxygen and the hospitals are running low on supplies. Look at Italy, India, southern states of USA for examples.

There is a massive flow on effect with things like supply and distribution chains etc. I am sure that is why the QLD government has started critical workplace vaccination centres in these places to try to manage/minimise the effects. My feelings are that it will be a mess until after the first wave has passed through the population. My family are all vaccinated excepting my 12 year old who is not eligible yet. I have prepared for what I think the challenges may be and can only hope that the evolving situation will be as benign as the Governments are telling us.

So the count is ballooning like in locked down  Afgladystan ...The current formular for treatment dosnt look like its working too well ....
Soooo how about for Shits n Giggles try this stuff .. What have they got to loose other than be a bit embarassed if it works and decreases the figures ....God forbid it would even be cheaper .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYv30g7TKVM&t=396s .. But that wont fit with the Narrative would it . Surely if you genuinely wanted to fix something bad enough, you would try anything .

Yes. We had massive hospitals built in weeks. The army did it.

However, finding sufficient numbers of qualified staff to man them was a problem never solved. Luckily, they weren’t needed and were quietly dismantled months ago.

I think Vic  numbers are spiking for a number of reasons, not just the new strain.
Some People have had enough.
The constant threat of it coming south over the Murray

It could if you did it the same as it was done here. Use buildings that already exist. Exhibition halls, for example.

That way you get around the planning issues. Links to the transport network are usually excellent too.
