I did it at the Shed but it was a walk-in, give your details, get the jab, wait 15 minutes for any immediate adverse reaction then out of there. If Sandown is underutilised your experience should be similar
Despite all the learned predictions of super spreader events. On that interesting watching the US Open golf, packed galleries, no masks in a state still recording 300 new cases a day. I m thinking they won't be any worse off next week.
We're actually required to carry a mask whenever we leave the house. Not sure how many are aware of this.
I suspect the contact tracing is filling in gaps so maybe we will get some more sites around Bendigo as they find out. I do recall last year authorities having trouble with getting full details of travel from people.
I think it was on the radio yesterday that the guy who was positive, but only got tested a week later, did try to get tested but they turned him away. My partner tried to get tested at one point last year and was told she didn't have enough symptoms. FFS if someone wants to get tested just shove the probe up their nose and do it.

I reckon there's always a peculiar element to it,
and I think its because people are peculiar.
AFL crowds in doubt, fixture set to change
There is significant doubt about whether crowds will be allowed or greatly reduced at AFL games in Victoria this weekend, as the AFL prepares for a potential major fixture change.www.theage.com.au
I dont profess to know much about epidemiology, and I largely have faith in the pros,
but I dont get it??? its seems a bit like the MRP mostly to me.
they shut Bluesfest down on 1 case, let the footy go on 12 cases?
not saying bluesfest should have gone ahead. I totally get the precautionary principle.
im just surprised they are going with footy crowds.
How long until we have vaccine passports and no jab, no entry
you reckon?
I understand your angst with Bluesfest which is a great gig, but that might be due to the number of people traveling interstate to go there so any infections from Bluesfest would go everywhere. The football will be a more local crowd, although we are playing Adelaide and a few will come over for the game.

I thought you were going to say the Covid Safe app..
I mean WTF happened to that expensive failure?
exactly. Maybe they went to Bendigo, got the haircut, stayed with friends or at home til Sunday when they went to the pub. Not everyone wants to spend their days trawling around shopping malls or going to 15 locations a day. What I find peculiar is going to Chadstone or Highpoint for any reason whatsoever.
Just speaking a few minutes ago to some people that I do some work with in Swan Hill. They've got large groups of people up there (netball club and others) that have just been told to self isolate after a confirmed case in Cohuna nearby. (This Cohuna case hasn't yet been disclosed to the public by the Gov and VicHealth.)
This thing is moving real quick.

We've now had 17 hotel quarantine breechs from every state in Australia both Liberal or Labor. This latest one that's affecting Victoria stemmed from South Australia.
At what point does this Federal Government step up & build purpose built quarantine facilities?
Hotel Quarantine is clearly no longer adequate for a more contagious, airborne disease that has changed substantially since the Federal agreements were made with the states in March 2020.
There has been ample time to build purpose built facilities but this inept Government has sat on it's hands & done virtually NOTHING except pass the buck.
Outbreaks are now on them. Businesses shutting down is now on them. Functions & events being shut down is now on them. People dying & getting sick is now on them.
Stop buck passing & deflecting, show some leadership & either stop planes bringing infected people home or build adequate Q facilities because most of us have had enough of life being disrupted.

Or roll out a better vaxx program. We can't stay closed forever.
I shouldn’t comment when I don’t know the facts , however this is PRE 
Anyway has Micheal Slater had anything to sa about the latest outbreak

maybe 6 weeks out from an election, if they were behind in the polls, they'de publish plans for a hermetically sealed offshore super-plex Q station,
that they wouldn't build.
