Don’t like the sound of that ToO. I’m booked for Pfizer booster next Wednesday at Heidelberg Repat 1 day before the 5 months.......the “system” let me in too, maybe because I’m older?

How did you go AA? I heard the Exhibition Building vaccination centre was closing today? Great timing with the arrival of Omicron
Gave up on the state government and followed @RoarEmotion's suggestion to go pharmacy. Booked in for next Wednesday at a chemist on Swan St.
Yeah. He’s good. Real good. I’d watch your back if I were you.
Dunno. But he’s the new breed of training sleuths. Seems young, energetic, informative. Just has something about him that we haven’t seen before. Bright future.

I know this is off topic, but......... I see some parallels with the conspiracy theorists, antivaxers and Ivermectin spruikers!
Anti-5G necklaces found to be radioactive
Conspiracy theories about 5G have fuelled a market for "anti-5G" accessories.

Booster at least 80% effective against severe Omicron
Preliminary estimates by researchers suggest the top-up shot should help keep many people out of hospital.

Is Christmas really open or are we just open to Covid?
Thousands of people having their Christmas' ruined due to being forced into quarantine.
People cancelling bookings due to uncertainty over how bad the virus actually is, even when vaccinated against a new variant nobody really knows anything about.
Honestly feels like we're close to chaos.

I've kind of felt that way for 18 months.
Don't think I'm the only one, we seem to lurch from one disaster to another.
It's time to forget about isolation, testing and covid restrictions in the most part..some exceptions needed.
We are near enough as fully vaccinated as possible. This is as good as it gets.
There will always be variants and the need for boosters like influenza.
There will always be cases, hospitalisation and deaths.
Otherwise from this time on we will be forever controlled by covid and life will remain a mess.
For NSW and Vic....this is as good as it gets!
For the other states they will have to continue with covid restrictions etc until they get to their best position.
Then they too need to live with covid.
Understandably there will be a strain on hospitals....but there will be anyway for years to come.
Invest in short term beds rather than testing and tracking. Spend money on purpose built covid facilities and redirect staff away from covid testing and vax centres.
Otherwise everything like sport and entertainment and travel will be a lottery indefinitely.

Has third shot yesterday. (Moderna after two Pfizer’s). Definitely feeling it last night and today. Mild fever / sore all over / little bit spaced out and dizzy etc. It beats dying of covid though and just mental confidence to participate in society.
Once again the entire country is at the mercy of Domicron's NSW.

Omicron 5.4 times more likely to reinfect than Delta: study
Those who were two or more weeks past their second dose, or two or more weeks past their booster, were more likely to become ill with Omicron than Delta.
Yet no mask mandate in NSW. Absolute *smile* madness.

I don’t think they even know what they’re protesting about anymore. Has a feeling of angry people shouting at clouds about it.
A couple of quotes from below Age article : That's not to say Victoria haven't got their heads in the sand as well.
He said the NSW government was almost abandoning its population to COVID-19 by gambling Omicron would be mild, adding the state basically had no social distancing in place.
University of Sydney infectious diseases paediatrician Robert Booy, who has previously supported decisions made by the NSW government, said: “The restrictions in NSW are being unwound too quickly. We are now ideologically driven and the public health advice has become secondary.”
Doctors push for stronger action to quash Omicron outbreaks
Many infectious diseases experts are warning that failure to urgently take simple steps to reduce the spread of Omicron could result in the need for lockdowns or other drastic measures later.
