Re: Covid Vacs
It is quite amazing how the gov and medical persons differ in the info they put out.
Tony said, and maybe he is correct, that having recovered from the Virus you are still not immune from it, yet some of our medicos here say the oppsite.
But then again the politics of this saga confuse even the best minds.
Many will putout info they consider will either pacify the populous or keep them in power come the next election.
Somewhere, hidden very deep inside of this is the truth, but as with a war the first casualty is the truth.

Re: Covid Vacs
We got two Weeks to go John Booked for the 13th Friday! Eeeek!
But then we too will be fully Vaccinated! As of now though touch Wood all is AOK!
I think that even though fully vaccinated, one i still prone to catch this Virus, but has a much much better chance of beating it !
But the issue of everyone having the two Shots i feel is really the answer here, and it seems to be taking its time, as the Roll out is not what was anticipated. Lets see if things happen a wee bit faster from now on!
Yes there is already talk of getting the next Booster Shot in 2 Years time !

Re: Covid Vacs
PATIENTS and staff were evacuated from a Royal Bolton Hospital Ward after a fire yesterday.
Twelve patients and eight staff members were relocated from the Clinical Decisions Unit to the B2 ward after an electrical fire broke out in the ward’s wiring system.
No one was injured in the blaze, which burned out the system’s electrical casing and also damaged a partition wall.

Re: Covid Vacs
Hi Capt
With your dear Sister contracting the Virus , i do hope she will recover soon and fully, and with her having had Both Jabs i am sure that will be a God Send.
We are now in Greater Sydney Are that includes the Blue Mountains, in Lockdown on a strict basis now as the case numbers have risen . Cannot now go more than 10 km from your place of residence unless an essential worker, if you need Groceries you are only able to go out that 10 km Zone if what you need is not available at a Local Shop. Gees this is getting tough!
My dear Wife is fortunate that she is still able to travel to work, as she has a letter she carries that says she is an essential worker. however it is at times i feel a risk for her , but she takes all precautions on her way to and from place of work.
Lockdown is now in force for the next 4 Weeks at least , then what??
I can see trouble brewing on the Horizon !!!
Cheers

Re: Covid Vacs
N.S.W.s great leader the clown of a Liberal who was bragging that N.S.W. was the Gold system to follow and has been criticizing Victoria all the time, has now been caught with her pants down, a complete idiot, what she has now done is to take all the vaccines allocated to the Country Regions and use them all in Sydney, at a time when she can't even control the idiots with Covid there from travelling to the country areas and spreading it. What a Plonker.
We have twice been to our Dr but they say that there is a waiting list.

Re: Covid Vacs
The area around Sydney where the Virus is at worst has so many of Ethnic origins who will not follow the rules.
An Aysiran church leader was seen on our TV down here in Melbourne, telling his congregation that only God and not the Vaccine would save them.
With such as that there is little wonder it is so bad.
But the medicos in charge have changed their minds, choosing now to follow the lead of UK saying you ,may now have second AZ shot after just 4 weeks.
There is hope according to PM that if all who want it get kit in nay form then b y years end international borders can be opened.
He was also questioned about vaccination pass ports, becoming the norm in many countries now, he said not against the concept but under the laws of the country compulsory Vaccination is not permitted. But did admit some companies, such as QUANTAS, may say legally no jab no entry.
