Talk about not being able to please all the people some of the time.

Even with the conflicting messages from health experts regarding the effectiveness or not the of lockdowns.   Every one will have their own thoughts on lockdowns and at what level. 

Just watching the News and the reporter pressing the Premier after passing 600 Covid a day, when Level 4 Restrictions are going to implemented, almost demanding why they have not already been implemented.   The News continued how the Premier hasn't increased the Level of Restrictions.

To begin with I believe the virus is real and all of us need to tread lightly. If it spreads to far our trips will be shortened or cancelled. Get the jab and honestly hope for the best. I've had 2 AZ 3 months ago, no side effects even with a previous health condition. I'm hoping to see as much as possible of Australia with my remaining time, ???. I only need the right camper now and hopefully a few friends along the way.

I was essential today which meant driving from the North Coast of NSW into south east Qld.   

That meant getting a Qld Border Pass which also included a Negative Covid Test.   

The Question asks, "Have you received a negative COVID-19 test result within 7 days prior to entering Queensland?"

Anyhow get the Border Pass, get the message I am Negative for Covid.  All Good.

Get up to the Border, turn off to the M1 to the Hwy and onto the check point.   

Mask on, and wait to be spoken to.   

Where you going to?   Where you come from?   So your from a Red Zone.   

Apparently Qld says any area outside the Border X Bubble you are in the Red Zone.   

Have you had a Covid Test?  Do you have the result?   Can I see it please? 

Just have to get my phone out.   Yes that's okay.   

Yep that's good.   Now you just have to have the Covid Test done every three days.   

What???


Later had a look through trying to find where it says Covid Tests ever three days.    Spoke to the Boss and they know nothing about three days, even after speaking to Qld the day before.   


I think about it and wonder, just what health data is any of this based on.   I come from an Area that has had no Covid since April 2020.   

From Friday Qld Government is mandating all fright drivers entering Qld to have at least one Covid Vaccine shot.   People are arguing about an employer holding employees to ransom to be vaccinated to keep their job.   Nothing said about Premier Palaceof&%) expecting drivers to get Vaccinated to keep their job.   Is she going to compensate the driver or their family for complications from the Vaccine?     

Further on the news they mention that Premier Palaceof*&%* is looking at further border closures to all freight unless the freight is essential to Queensland.   

I can see the truck drivers just parking up south of the Border blockading the Highway.   See how essential freight is.   

For anyone that thinks your Qld Premier is protecting you and keeping you safe, NO, all she is doing is continuing your pain.    There is NO such thing as COVID ZERO.   Unless you want your State not just lockdown with everyone lockout and the rest of you locked in, never to leave again.   COVID is not going away.   Wake up.

Interesting...

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58257863

"The Oxford-AstraZeneca jab, though initially less effective, offers the same high protection as the Pfizer-BioNTech after four to five months, the largest study of its kind suggests. "

I must be one of the few that actually wanted the AZ shot. Being an old fart I didnt get a choice but would have asked for AZ if there was an option.

The vaccine(s) has never been touted as 'Defeating Covid', by the relevant people! It has always been stated that it will reduce the severity of the infection, if contracted. Less severity means less strain on the infected, plus less strain on health systems and staff.

In truth 'N0'. I'm articled out with the whole Covid thing. Also over the all the C&P!
 Let's face it, no one really knows what's going on 100%!
It appears to me that there are a few people who know a lot about the subject and a lot of people who know very little about it and the latter seem to hold more sway than the former.

I'll just stick to the original purpose of this forum, from now on.  ;D
