CV and mad panic behaviour

Get the vaccine rollout rolling and we might be able to avoid yo-yo lockdowns. Give SloMo the arse. 

Yeah, went well in the UK.

You know everything Mav, explain this....

That's easy, they just didn't have enough Ivermectin to go around ...

[capcom]

So we're back to the same routine.  Masks and who knows what else will follow.  Seriously stupid.

They needed Alan Jones to tell them what they were doing was wrong.

On a more serious note, this talk about the concept of virus extinction and it being some sort of ongoing focus of health authorities is misplaced, they aren't focussed on extinction anymore and they haven't been for a long time because it's impossible. Maybe politicians still talk in those terms, to clam up the nutter masses into thinking stuff can eventually go 100% back to the way it was before, but you shouldn't believe them.

The lockdowns and restrictions are the consequence of a one very simple number, R[sub]0[/sub] = 7

Sars-CoV-2 is now endemic, technically it has always been endemic, it is just that it wasn't endemic in human or where humans were. Now that it is, vaccines are the only way out of the repeating cycle.

Well, if anyone deserves long-Covid, it’s Jair Bolsonaro. He has had persistent hiccups for the last 10 days preventing him from speaking and causing severe abdominal pain. It’s as though he’s been silenced by God.

I saw a documentary once on people that suffer continuous hiccups, not very pleasant, not something you'd wish on anybody. Sort of like issuing your own built in never ending version of water torture.

Makes you think about getting Whooping Cough vaccination to protect the infants, I bet hiccups could be just as bad.

Is it COVID related? Ironically the hiccups could be. The phenotype of Long COVID is so wide it can manifest as damage to the nervous system across your whole body. Officials have observed a full gamut of effects from small ticks and twitches to full quadriplegia.

Supposedly, a surgeon has diagnosed him with a bowel obstruction and wants to operate. Bolsonaro blames recent dental implants. But it also fits Covid.

I have no magical powers and don’t believe in magical thinking. I can’t do any harm to anyone by wishing something on them. But this prick is causing a lot of harm to Brazilians and it would be a Godsend if Covid takes him out (and very fitting too).

 Yes, emotional versus rational thinking, it is a battle for everyone that some of us win some of us don't, but we never win them all! ;D

Guys

I understand these situations are emotionally charged, but we dont have to turn on each other.

I overheard someone say, why did the family have to move states now....  When is more appropriate to make a move from one state to another?  Its not like it wouldn't have been planned months ahead of time, and we dont live in a dictatorship where this isnt possible.  Covid has been around for over 1.5 years now.  These questions are at best, idiotic.

I sometimes hear people say stuff, because its all about their own personal perspective, but when push comes to shove, the rule books are not written, the process, and procedure, unfamiliar, and even the whole covid situation interstate, unprecedented (NSW have had stuff all outbreak to deal with until now, so to see them lack a bit of foresight based on our own experience with this is a bit short sighted IMHO).

Anyway, when it all comes down to it, keep yourselves safe, keep the judgement minimum, and keep the heads up so we can all come out the other side of this a little bit more well adjusted than previously because the vast majority of people in public have lost the compassion for each other and if we lose that then we have nothing as a society.

I think you'll find some of us are angry at the removalists because they lied to authorities and failed to abide by the conditions of entry into VIC. That resulted in very understandable ire. As I said before, I hope they throw the book at the pr1cks. Most folks play ball and are team players - ripper. But I am glad we have zero tolerance for those who lie.
