CV and mad panic behaviour

What booster is everyone getting?

Its better to mix your booster, so if you had pfizer, get moderna.

How do his supporters, rationalise his actions against the public blurb / ideology?

I recall a George Conway interview in which he said that Trump was great at reading the anger of his supporters and playing to it and Trump knew he had to be careful about going against the flow. If Trump were to come out now and tell his supporters that they were crazy if they didn't get vaccinated and they should also wear masks, he'd become the enemy.

Whenever he admits he has been jabbed, he quickly assures his supporters that no one should challenge their decisions not to do the same. Why he doesn't just lie about it as he does about everything else is harder to figure out. Maybe he's trying to get ahead of the story in case it leaks or maybe he wants to claim the credit for the vaccine program (and if it's the latter, surely he realises his supporters don't think anyone deserves any credit for the vaccine program).

I'd probably add a gloss to Conway's analysis though. He did influence his supporters to buy into conspiracy theories by telling them Covid was a hoax or nothing to worry about or that HCQ would protect them against the Democrat disease. But once that train started rolling, he realised he'd be run over by it if he tried to stand in its way.

Moderna booster tomorrow after originally vaccinating with AstraZeneca. 

We had a choice between Pfizer and Moderna and opted for the latter.  No particular reason as the side effects seem to be the same.

Had my Moderna booster today to complement the first two Astras. So far so good, no apparent ill effects.

Modelling (IIRC from the Burnett Institute) suggests new cases in Australia may reach 200,000. That's almost 1% of the population!!

Their modelling has been way off so far but a broken clock is right twice a day.

My bad - it's the Doherty Institute modelling. And it assumes no low to medium restrictions are introduced.

Is that per day?

Is that per day?

I believe it is ... but it's absolute rubbish.  Stupid (and downright dangerous) to even suggest it.

200000 cases a day?
As long as their  close contacts are isolating I don't see a problem.  :
