In SA you scan at individual shops within a shopping complex, even in some hospitals, medical centres you must scan in at individual clinics etc.
yep, same here. My mistake, I thought he meant supermarket !!

Because I’m unvaccinated, I have been to a supermarket, but haven’t been to a shopping complex for months. And won’t be  for a while with our LGA numbers starting to climb…15 new cases yesterday.

I look at the Vic exposure sites everyday before I go to work.  It amazes how often Chemists appear.  People still haven't learnt that cold symptoms are possibly Covid

Son in law is a chemist,and what people do is get a covid test then go to the chemist to get medicine for chest cold/ cough/runny nose/etc, etc, …….then get the Shits when told to get out and go home ??

Not all people can be really smart, most are pretty sensible, but  some are really dumb.
What this pandemic has shown us is the amount of people who are probably well educated who are really dumb !!

Just because someone is intelligent, doesn't necessarily mean that they're smart. I've always been dumfounded by the number of well educated people who get caught up in scammy, religious sects! ???

Was at the footy on Sunday - Suncorp... Body count - 26,747. ...  with only less than about a third of the mob bothering to wear masks ...   

No real enforcement from the goons ... no sanitizers at the food/drink outlets that I saw.... You had to QR into the joint but then end of story  ... 

but imagine when; (away from your seated section); and walking through the stadium tunnels and passageways past thousands of people; all inhaling and exhaling; few masks - anyone got delta?

Palaszczuk and stooge Jeannette are playing a fast and reckless roll of the dice up here; thinking delta will fizz at the border ...

Get vaxed qlders; before its our turn for rampaging transmission....

I see it at the local shops. Certain shops people congregate in small groups, 3 sometime, 6 sometime, talking, sometimes and showing off their "fully sick" cars. No social distancing,  no masks, no scanning into shops. They go in and out how they want, when they want and to any shop they want. If they are like that there doubt it would be any different where ever they go, and if they have it and aren't hospitalised, would they stay home? Who knows.

Where I am now (Cyprus) you have to prove that you are double jabbed to enter a shop. If you aren’t, you have to prove that you have had a negative test within the last 72 hours. Tests aren’t free, so not being double jabbed could get expensive.

I think that is exactly it.  We kept the delta  numbers low for quite a while so it can be contained.  It is spreading through people who don't give a f... or who see it as inevitable and given up.

Yeah, seems hard to fathom. But if you consider people going to work, then coming home each day, there's one source of transmission. Then the mrs goes shopping, spreads it around the shopping centre.. Then someone who's been shopping in the same place gets it. They go home and their family is infected. It's pretty hard to contain unless you do like they did in China when it originally broke out, and weld peoples doors shut, with the family inside...

there is certainly more traffic on the road now than this time last year..

The banter at work here after todays 580 odd numbers is certainly changed to screw it - lets live with it.
