One has to wonder why this negative announcement was ever made, we need positive news not negativity, perhaps they are trying to panic everyone to take the jabs, just an observation

In a roundabout way, it is put over as a cure, it is not.

Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Here in Oz we have two talk back radio stations.
Each day they have an 'expert' on to give the latest details of what THEY think will happen.
So far no two have come up with the same answer.
But when there is a change in any way one or two will say that this justifies what I said.
Got to the point where I n ow do my own thing, we are now in a pandemic of the unvaccinated, bloody idiots who think they are so special and bullet proof.
Until they are dying in hospital with it and asking for a jab.
We currently are under a 15 klm distance allowance from home.
So I got a map, found a piece of string and using the measurements found how far from home we could go.
Gave the string away and used a piece of elastic instead, you can go a lot further that way.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Something very wrong here in Victoria.
We are vaccinating at record levels, testing also at record levels.
The result, we now have the highest rate of infections in the country, more deaths than any other state and the premier says we are on track, like on the way to hell in a hand basket.

Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Yes unfortunately many Countries are still in the very thick of this terrible Virus, and it is still going to take a long time before we see a real drop or at least control World Wide.
Just heard from my Sister in South Africa, how many are really dying there on a daily basis, the News does not apparently show the true figures, with hundreds each day just getting loaded on to Trucks and taken away to mass Burial sites. These are sorry to say the ones that all still live in terrible places with just shacks for cover, very little good Health conditions , and all so closely bunched up together. Its terrible that still in this day and age this is happening there, but of course they are not the only place like that!
We can only hope that things will improve on all sides and that People all over in the Future will have much safer and more Healthier Conditions to Live in!

Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Well today we hit a new record, biggest number across the nation with it, 2297 out of about 80,000 tests.
We are now getting more cases than last year but with fewer testing stations????
Opening up will still go ahead though as the factor now is the number fully vaccinated, not the number of cases.
But yes, some countries will take years to recover, then again Fiji and Bali are saying they are now open for tourists??
We hear very little now of what is happening in countries such as India, or Brazil both had very bad times.
But those who specialise in this still say by this time next year it will b eno worse than the Flu or a bad cold!!!!!!!!!
Just don't hold your breath on that one!!
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: two jabs ..not two jags
Well there may be all the thousands of reported Covid infections,but at least week on week death rates are falling.In fact it is becoming indistinguishable at times from flu.That of course can still be worrying in any year,not just during a pandemic for we oldies or immunity-compromised people.A nurse working in my local hospital says that in the Covid specific ward it's a bit of a worry that about 60% of the Covid cases they see are in the over 60's who have been double-jabbed!
At least in Britain we are not hiding our true Covid figures,unlike China and Russia and perhaps one or two other European 'Union' nations.......
