By March, we'll be a world away from where we are now and any orders that may exist then will be made under an entirely different legislative structure. What's the point? They appear to be trying to paint any subsequent legislative changes as a win for their actions, to boost future support.

Wow, scientists believe Ivermectin will save lives: Click HERE.
Pfizer is reporting lab tests "showed its booster produced a 25-fold increase in the levels of antibodies capable of fighting off Omicron." Whether boosters will work as well in the real world is yet to be determined: Pfizer says lab tests show COVID booster may offer protection against Omicron, abc.net.au.
It seems Omicron results in milder symptoms anyway, so should we be hoping Omicron spreads like crazy and shuts out Delta? I guess the only problem is Omicron seems to be an example of recombination: when a person is infected at the same time by different Covid strains, the features of those different strains can be mix-and-matched to create a new strain. On its own, Omicron might not be too bad but if it infects someone at the same time as Delta, who knows what will result ...

Perhaps, but there are some worrying early signs that Omicron is affecting children worse than adults and that is a big worry especially for pre-schoolers and infants.
However, the numbers studied so far are low, so that effect could be a statistical aberration, more definite advice will become available in the coming weeks.

The Greek Government has imposed monthly "health levies" on unvaccinated over-60s:
Quote:Those above 60 who refuse the shot will start paying a 100 euros ($120) monthly fine beginning next month.
“It’s not a penalty. I’d say it’s a health levy, motivation for precaution, a boost to life, but also an act of justice towards the vaccinated majority,” said Mitsotakis. “We can’t have people being deprived of public health services they need because certain others have dug in their heels and refuse to do what is self-evident.”
The measure appears to have had some success. Some 60,000 seniors signed up for the vaccine within a week – as many as had signed up in all of November.
As COVID surges, Greece pursues unvaccinated with fines and vans, Al Jazeera.
It seems that carrots aren't enough; sometimes sticks are necessary. And of course anti-vaxxers would argue that carrots are discriminatory anyway.

The service nsw app is way more difficult to use than the service Victoria app.
For starters, battery drain is an issue.
Checking out whilst is a massive pain in the backside is a useful feature, and service vic might want to think about this.
Beyond that registration was more difficult and linking to mygov even worse. Particularly for my wife whos maiden name is on her Medicare card still. She needed her marriage certificate.
We should have a national app really.

Certainly should be a National approach, but that would require national leadership instead of someone looking to be able to point at scapegoats when it will suit him.
I jumped into the SA, Vic, NSW and Qld apps last night, it wasn’t too bad, I’ve got my pass to enter SA next week sorted, tomorrow I need to do the same for my techno challenged wife… that will be challenging.
Let’s go BIG !

My advice is do it early. It was pure luck my wife has recently got a new job and had a photo of her marriage certificate on her phone. If not she wouldn't be able to use it.

Great to read The Rage exposing the bogus antivax and antimask altruism is really motivated by profit, the protest organizers rip in the cash selling protest accessories and snake oil that are leveraged with group think inclusivity, ironic given they accuse big pharmaceutical and politicians of the same to isolate / exclude them.
Quote:You can buy caps and t-shirts, pseudo-medical COVID treatments, even social media sites and legal advice - it’s all part of the deal when you are marching for freedom.
I suppose the cries of the protest organisers is a takes one to know one scenario, who do you trust now?
