Coronavirus

The time has come. According to this article there are over 7,000,000 doses delivered to state hubs, GP’s and pharmacies. We need the country to be fully open by mid December in time for Christmas. There should be now no excuses for any state to get their vaccinated population up to 90%. The Feds can be blamed for the go slow. But the pressure now needs to be at the States. National cabinet needs to be put together in person and a joint press conference. It’s time to feel like a true nation again. Perhaps the full opening date can be our new Australia Day?

Less than half of the country’s available Moderna supply has been used

Tens of thousands of Moderna vaccine doses are due to expire within weeks as less than half of Australia’s supplies have been used.

AFL has released a predictable and largely unavoidable policy - no jab, no play.

Well, it had to happen as states are saying that footballers would be subject to mandatory vaccinations, plus, travel to other states would likely be impossible, especially WA.

That said, no jab, no play is the right policy. It clears everything up and Australian Rules Football is a contact sport so the players really do need to be vaccinated. Plus, it means there are no questions, all players will be vaccinated.

I suspect we will get the same message early in 2022: no jab, no go to footy.

The A-League is yet to mandate this and there are about a dozen unnamed players that haven’t got it yet. James Troisi especially hasn’t been shy in spreading his anti-vax views on social media. With the season starting in 4 weeks, travel is already problematic.

I can see both sides of this discussion. If you are from a COVID zero state, why would you wanna open borders to VIC and NSW? Queensland did announce a December 17 opening this week, but projections also suggest up to 200 deaths in the first 3 months. I also acknowledge how important tourism is to their economy… so they have to weigh up the very difficult decision of between the economy and people dying.

I’d get one now if I could. Pfizer or Moderna. Wouldn’t worry me which one.

I wonder what eligibility rules the government will introduce for the booster? Will it be as simple as being able to get it after you pass 6 months from your second dose? Will these rules change when 5-11 years olds become eligible? You would assume they will get prioritised once eligible.

Definitely when it comes to lung transplants. Not sure about being admitted to hospital with breathing problems though.

Antivaxers are scabbing off the rest of society's hard work, but it would be heartless to turn away a covid patient at a hospital. Plus its not really in the nature of nurses and doctors to NOT help someone.

I think I’d prefer a fully pay for any medical care if I change my mind that Covid is real approach vs the GAGF approach. And by the way the average cost per Covid ICU patient is $k250 (full guess by me) or whatever it is.

Someone should calculate this number and publish it to make just how transparently scabby anti vaxxers are being.

Watching everyone celebrate in Melbourne is like the end of WWII. Funny. Even Lockdan celebrates maskless with his family in the backyard.
