It's not like we can't print off proof of vaccination status from the Federal Government (myGov).
-
@mariner4life said in Coronavirus - Australia:

oh yeah wait, to a state government, vaccines are only a thing to use when you need to deflect attention to the federal government
i hate everyone
More importantly: what the fuck is this going to do to rugby on Saturday? Our host club was going to have their Old Boys day and that promised a bit of free piss and food...

I've got to plan 10 days of shit to do now. Do I go to work? Do I have a staycation?
-
Melbourne/VIC are 'easing' restrictions and those new restrictions will basically be the same level as the new 'harsher' restrictions in NSW.
VIC haven't had a new exposure site for a week and have had either 0 or 1 new local case per day for a week......

Bloke I used to work with got on the Indian Pacific in Sydney middle of last week.
Three days later in Perth, he had to quarantine for 48 hours after the NSW cases popped up.
Ridiculous.
the God Emperor of WA does exactly what he wants.
did i read somewhere a story that the WA cops were accessing the data of COVID-tracing apps in their investigations?
I think a few of our state law enforcement departments would find that info VERY interesting.
Yeah it was one of the first things I thought of when things started. I guess it's like anything, if the cops can get the warrant then it's all go.

Wonder what the check-in rate for most people is? I do it pretty regularly but occasionally won't bother eg. local supermarket, because I scan my loyalty / staff card there anyway.

linked to the bullshit being peddled by the NZ media
Have you noticed the go to for "reporting" on COVID is to get someone from a uni somewhere to speak theoretically about what ever is happening? There is never a proper interview with anyone actually working on the response. It's always Professor TimeintheSun from Australian Online University. And you never get the questions asked, just the quotes used to beef up whatever scaremongering angle they are looking for.
And, once again, the news sites are using less than half the story. Cases "double overnight" (7 goes to 14), "double digit spike!" (11 new cases).
Guess how many people are in hospital with COVID right now in NSW? yeah it's 2
Guess how many people are in ICU? yeah, it's 0.Across the ENTIRE COUNTRY there are currently 45 people in Hospital with COVID. And guess what? 35 of them are in Qld. Do you want to know why? Because if you test positive in Qld, they put you in hospital.
Current national ICU beds occupied by COVID patients? = 0Put some fucking perspective in place please.
Kiwis you kinda need to read that too, because one of our GMs just got back from NZ and he was alarmed at how Australia's COVID situation was being reported. It's waaaaay less intense than is being made out.
-
Also, in a fucking vivid red illustration of the bullshit we have to put up with because of our Governments
Qld obviously "slammed down the border" on Sydney. For how long? Who knows.
Premier Palooch-chook just could not resist taking a shot. Hoping NSW could sort themselves out, because Qld is doing really well up here.
Guess what Ana you smug mole, we are? There is a community case. Where did they catch it? From an Air Hostie who tested positive last week. And where did she catch it? In fucking hotel quarantine!!!! that's right, she didn't bring it with her, she caught it in quarantine!!!! You are putting people with low risk of being infected in a place where their risk of infection actually goes up!!!
Oh, but that's all the Feds' fault right??
Thanks for fucking up the school holidays for us by locking out Australia's biggest markets.
I straight up hate you

The great irony is Qld had 35 covid admissions currently in hospital as of yesterday. NSW had two.

@barbarian said in Coronavirus - Australia:
Well I had a brief chat on Tuesday to the NSW Ag Minister, who has since tested positive. So I've had a test and have fingers crossed I don't have to do 14 days. That would suck mightily.
ITS THE DELTA FORCE VARIANT!!!! IT'S INFINITY TIMES MORE CONTAGIOUS
you are, in a word, fucked.

@nta said in Coronavirus - Australia:
This is good rant.
It is, but i thought it was the Feds who make decisions on quarantine?
i don't understand the question? You think Scott Morrison is stopping people coming to Qld?
