I am in the seniors group and will get the booster shot in mid January. Because of my age my immunity is lessening by the day and I certainly am at risk of getting Covid from a non vaccinated person. My wife does not share my good health and if she were to catch Covid her chance of recovery would be very slim.
According to your view the unvaccinated should be free to do whatever they want, go wherever they please and the community just has to grin and bear it.
Quite frankly, I've had a gutfull of these selfish pr%%ks who put their personal "rights to freedom" above the rights of the community.
I hope Andrews keeps the restrictions in place for the foreseeable future.
Sorry to hear your story Macca.
I am very sad to hear about your situation. I really am. With all my honesty and sympathy. I wish no people had an issue with their immune system that couldn’t deal with any sickness. I honestly do. I wish you Macca and your wife were of way better health. I am not a young fella myself. Not now. Many years ago was a different story. I don’t see what Dan could execute being a health benefit as a primary issue. It could cripple the economy of this state further. It appears that small businesses have suffered enough.
I once again feel very sad for your state of health along with your wife. Don’t think I have no sympathy. I shop shoulder to shoulder for my food every day. People bringing their entire tribe along for a loaf of bread, bottle of milk, and a tray of sausages. Stay home and let mum or dad buy basics alone. We all shop and get in close contact while shopping for food. Vaccinated and unvaccinated. Both potentially able to spread the virus. Not so if we shop for clothes in Target or Kmart as we the protected can shop here only. Really? How is there really any difference?
I don’t accept those that don’t give a flying frog and do whatever they want with no care factor for those around them. I don’t believe we should all live in a bubble. Website shopping for everything to avoid human contact. It is possible. Food, clothing etc. It is possible. No events, restaurants, pubs, sporting, schools, work etc. Working from home for everyone.
What is the best answer to the above? Not complete isolation of all. Not separating the people either. Those in your situation Macca make me feel sad that there is no real answer. I would hate to think you would need to hide from everyone and live in your own little bubble. Being vaccinated isn’t a certainty a virus can’t be contracted and spread to another person. This virus won’t be gone by 2022. Who knows how long it will last. Influenzas have been around my entire life.
I just think that if we had a thousand cases per day for the last month and had no restrictions we had a standard. Now we have a new bill in legislation, we have it activated to bring restrictions (potentially)into place is a big flip with no new evidence. Don’t consider Omicron new evidence considering it has been around for months with no actions. What is Dan Andrews up to now? Sorry to hear about your health situation Macca. I do care. Don’t get me wrong. I hope you don’t have to hide from society to live a healthy life. You will probably be at risk no matter what happens. Vaccinated or unvaccinated people in society, if you decide to leave home to do what you need to do. I hope you and your wife stay well and live well. If this vaccine program is what we have been sold to believe, we shouldn’t have an issue. Should we?
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.
