I reckon your not alone with this.
he's not.

I'm now at the point where I listen to the latest updates, adjust my life (such as it is) to suit the latest rules and watch a hell of a lot of YouTube of people traveling and camping to keep me sane. (much of it either in WA, or before Covid)

these two keep me sane...

Sydney lockdown just extended to end of September and permits to go to work introduced ... curfews being implemented ... sound familiar ???

9pm-5am curfew ... only in the hot zone LGAs

But not starting until Monday.

Always good. I watched a lot of you tube in our latest two week quarantine at home ( ended last weekend). Did lots of jobs around the house but not being able to leave meant some things just couldn’t be done.

Victoria’s daily coronavirus numbers are in.

The state has recorded 61 new, locally acquired cases of COVID-19 and none in hotel quarantine.

But the Health Department also says there are an additional local 16 cases which were recorded using rapid PCR tests and will be included in tomorrow’s numbers - an announcement we’ve not seen before.

All Vic in Lockdown...

Great time not to be in NSW.

A record breaking 825 new cases of Covid-19 have been recorded in NSW, and three more people have died.

The 825 additional infections brings the total number of active cases in NSW to 9803.

I reckon it’s time to not be so focussed on the case numbers but in the vaccination numbers. This is the tangible challenge. The case numbers continue to rise regardless of lockdown, highlighting a minority  community reluctance to put community first. Most Folks will eventually get a bout of covid19, like they do the flu, but the vaccines will keep the vast majority of them out of hospital and this is what we need to focus on. For the folks who refuse or can’t have a vaccine well, unfortunately they will have to be uber careful to try and avoid covid.

I know it's a Daily Fail article, but if anyone has doubts about getting the vaccine, perhaps read this...

Lockdown gearing up for regional Vic again, but try to get a covid test!

What a battle. You would think it would be easy in this day and age.
Wednesday I had a bit of a sniffle, which I usually get just as spring starts due to pretty bad hay fever. Worked from home on Thursday just in case. Started to get a tickle in throat on Thursday, which is not unusual when I'm all blocked up with hay fever. Thought I would try to get a covid test just in case. Check on internet Thursday night and a local spot does walk ins (with appointment). Plenty available on Friday. Now worries. Open up website to book on Friday. No times available. Try to call them, about 10ish, but no good. Recorded message to say call back during business hours ???
Try a couple more times, but still no good.
Try the local pathology place, but website says need doctors referral. So call clinic. A doctor will call me back for a phone consultation. A few hours later get the doctor's call. Blah blah blah......he will send pathology request to testing clinic and testing clinic will contact me.
3pm I am on phone for work and miss an in coming call. No message left. Try to call the number but just get message about it not accessible for incoming calls or something.
OK. They will ring back. I stay off phone so I don't miss their call again. Just before 5pm I decide to see if their website says anything about opening hours. Monday to Friday 9am to 3:30pm. Well there goes that idea of getting tested today!
Look up the website for the clinic that does the walkin's as they still had heaps of openings for Saturday.
Nup. All bookings for Saturday have now dissappeared.

So basically the only avenue for me to get tested outside of banking hours is to drive the 120km to the metro region.

First world problems, but we are in a first world country last I recall.

Pretty sure I don't have Covid. Double vaxed and haven't been anywhere to catch it. Just a case of old fashioned man flu.

Good to see the system works.

GP advises me, despite being an old fart, to get Pfizer due to a disorder that has caused me to have a couple of DVTs.

He told me where to book in. Tried that on the health system. Sorry mate we will let you know when you can make an appointment some time in October.

Mate turns up & says local practice is doing them. He just walked in an got an appointment for Pfizer.

So I ducked down this morning & I had an appointment booked, within 5 minutes, for Pfizer no questions asked.

Go figure.

Wednesday had first jab & booked for second.

Just got an email from health saying lucky you, you can now book for vaccine.

I am wondering how they collect the data on numbers of those vaccinated.

Maybe they just record numbers of vaccines used.
