As an aside I am on the train going to the game. Annoys me the number of people without masks on the train.
Seriously it’s not too hard !!!

So I had the vaccine yesterday..my experience.
Easy process. Took about 40 minutes overall.
Had fill out documentation & go through potential side effects etc. After the jab I had to sit & wait 15 minutes to see if I had any complications.
Jab itself I didn't even feel. It was just a bit of pressure on my arm. Easiest needle I've ever had.
Have woken up feeling a little off. Bit of a headache, mild sweating in bed (fever?) & a mildly sore arm where I had the injection.
Overall feel pretty normal but like I'm on the verge of getting a little bit sick.
Next jab is in 3 months.
Well worth it.

Sounds about par for the course. Nausea and the runs quite common in first 24 hours. All good after 48 hours.
Someone into baseball statistics said on average there’s been a significant drop off for a week when players get vaccinated.
Have our players been vaccinated yet? If not, I’d consider encouraging them to do it during the bye week just in case their form is slightly affected

Sorry for annoying you!
I was wearing a mask when we first had community transmission before it was mandated, so for me I choose not to wear it now because the closest community transmission to us is a quarter of the world away, so I feel stupid wearing a mask in this situation. The police have allowed it in the city, so I’ve kept doing it. But that’s not in a crowded train to the footy, so I don’t think I’m making anyone uncomfortable

I believe it’s still mandatory to wear masks on public transport in Victoria.
I am talking about on the train and there are signs up all over the stations and in the trains.Sorry for annoying you!
Wear a mask.Sorry for annoying you!
It's not that hard.
Death toll will pass 3.3 million overnight. When you consider the Great War claimed 9.6 million soldiers in four and a quarter years, the virus is roughly on par (probably ahead given the counting limits in some countries), although the war's toll was felt more keenly as the victims were mostly young.
Compare that with the Spanish flu. think I remember reading that was something like 50 million deaths and 500 million people infected over 2-3 years?
Staggering really
Yep, post WWI flu was much worse, different times and a lot of people moving around after WWI made it a lot worse. There were a few waves of that flu too and I think the second was the worst. We are not past this yet although vaccination holds out hope of getting it under control.

I was at a function on the weekend where someone was still spouting herd immunity. I bit my tongue and moved away because it wasn’t someone I know well.
Herd immunity is working well in India and Brazil isn’t it? ....Can’t believe there are those who still think it’s somehow better

Andrew Bolt ? Steve Price ? (Bloke’s an ahole. Saw him in the Richmond Superstore just after restrictions had been lifted. You needed to wear a face mask in there. Signs everywhere. Staff all wearing them. Every customer wearing one. Guess who wasn’t ?)One of my good mates still thinks it's 'just the flu'.
Unfortunately he's not alone in that stupidityOne of my good mates still thinks it's 'just the flu'.
