CV and mad panic behaviour

A long bow is saying Djokovic wants everyone to get sick so he can sell the cure.

Yes true, it was a bit cheeky, and yet he won't make money from his investment without illness!

But to Djoker and his anti-vax entourage COVID is just a cold isn't it, why does it even need a cure?

Jack Darling is an anti-vaxxer and has been banned from the club until he gets the jab.

There were a lot of naysayers when Jones announced his position, "It could only happen at Carlton" type arguments and fingerpointing.

But there will be plenty of others they are just not making it into the public arena yet, Jones was the first he won't be the last!

"It could only happen at.....[insert team here]"
We just happened to be the first and/or perhaps the biggest name.

As an aside, we can never get our train completely back on the tracks without the odd self-imposed derailing. Salary cap, board challenges, sacked coaches, brownlow shenanigans, sacked coaches....etc

Seems like the booster vaccines are very effective:    Older Victorians the hardest hit by latest COVID-19 wave, The Age.

The new data also reveals Victorians who have received their third dose are being admitted to hospital at extremely low rates, with older people yet to receive their third vaccine dose the hardest hit.

It shows just 45 people who have received three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine have needed a hospital bed – less than 5 per cent of the 1029 coronavirus patients in hospitals on Saturday. The majority were aged 70 or over.
...
“I haven’t seen anyone really unwell who has had a booster dose,” said Dr Kasha Singh, an infectious diseases physician at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
...
Patients who have received a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine represent less than 4 per cent of current hospital admissions up to Saturday, according to Health Department data. It’s a significant statistic since almost 30 per cent of adult Victorians have now received a booster, and those that become eligible first are more likely to have conditions putting them at higher risk from COVID-19.

The article notes that Delta had caused more illness in younger people while Omicron appears to be of most concern to older people.

Yes, very interesting how the story evolves as more data arrives, pretty much end of story for the naysayers, but then most reasonable people already knew that was most likely the case!

I suspect this is telling us what most experts already knew and have been stating, long term immunity against Coronavirus is highly unlikely and the Flu / Sars annual combi vaccine is most likely. Get enough people vaccinated early in a preventative manner, well before the pandemic starts, and it won't get a strong hold!

Back on 7 January I posted that my wife and I had had our booster shots on 20 December and became ill with a non-covid virus on 28 December.

It has taken until today for us to be well enough to leave home.  The symptoms were similar to having the flu with a permanent head cold and cough but without a temperature.  Our doctor has said we will never know what virus caused the problem.

Unfortunately, it seems we have more to contend with than just covid.

Good to hear both of you are getting over whatever it was Macca. Not a great time to catch a mystery illness given the fears you'd naturally have about Covid.

[Macca37]

Thanks, Mav.

As an aside... I was startled to read The Age on-line headline a moment ago, 'Schools Prepare For RAT Rush...' That's all the kids need, plague of rodents...  :-[
