@majorrage said in Coronavirus - Australia:
The vaccine affects people differently, but the consensus is that the first AZ is a bit rough, whilst the second is more or less non-existent. Whereas the Pfizer / Moderna is the opposite.
I went for a 90 min run straight after the AZ and I regretted that big time. Simply amplified the standard achy feeling of a fever.
Good

Lots of theories about how to reduce the effects. But who knows? Prepare for a day off, just in case
My mate had two days off but I think the second was precautionary.
Still canโt book mine yet even though itโs been a month since I registered. Was hoping to get my first shot before my trip back to me at end of the month.
I read that exercise pre-vax might help. Was a good excuse to hit the treadmill
We walked into town to get ours so maybe that help as have had no side effects
Got a million sick days so booked for Monday fortnight for second AZ. Bugger being crook on the weekend

M4L's "It's All Bullshit" rant of the day
The "cluster" is growing at an exponential rate of 4 a day, on 57-odd thousand tests every 24 hours
3 people are in hospital, 0 are in ICUThe cases that were causing the anxiety about fleeting contact transmission turned out to be false positives
And yet people in Melbourne remain confined to their houses. States remain closed to people from Victoria. This shit makes no sense.

ive normally been pretty sympathetic towards the government, theyre doing a job the rest of us havent put our hand up for, and was disappointed but understanding when this lockdown was first announced...but
it does seem weird now to say its AT LEAST another week and "dont expect to go anywhere for the long weekend" when we're only having 3-5 cases a day, they rolling average must be about 5 which previously was the trigger to start easing things, maybe just masks in supermarkets/public transport etc

i was for basically all of 2020, but when we are doing the same things now 14 months later with less justification i have a lot less sympathy for all levels and all parties.

and it appears no one can give accurate numbers on vaccination rates which should be updated with those other stats.. higher rates, gives them fewer excuses to do this bullshit

Vic Health reckon they are doing about 24-25,000 a day. Up to a little under 560,000 doses administered.
Up to 141,000 a day nationally

This is the highly contagious variant too.

I think they were spooked after the half baked first lockdown that resulted in the 3 month lockdown in 2020. They seem to be taking no chances, 2 weeks is better than 2 months. Probably heavy handed, but suck it up and knock the bugger off so you can all go back to normal next Thursday

Somehow I don't think telling people this is the gentler variant will have the desired effect. I wonder whether any of these new variants are in fact "more contagious" or if it is people being less careful than before

Over 300,0000 tests in the last week to identify people in the known spots and despite being contagious as all fuck, they've managed ~40 confirmed cases. Clearly highly contagious means something different to me.

I think they are trying to create an air of alarm, just in case shit gets real. But my brother in law was saying they have been walking back on the whole most contagious narrative in the last couple of days. It is a fine line between scaring people for their own good, and ending up with people thinking you are just flat out lying for no good reason

Jesus that made me shiver.
Ruin someone's business "for their own good"?
I can't think of any situation where an authority should lie to an adult for their own good.
That's some patronising supremacy right there. That's treating adults lives like they're small children. Crazy talk bro
I guess you've misspoke, because you certainly haven't captured the sentiment in Victoria right now. The problem here isn't that there's not enough "scaring" going on, it's that there's not enough illness going on.
