How to cope with the corona virus ..facts- not fiction.

[Foo]

Well it's three days since I had my first jab and the only thing that reminds me of it is a very slight soreness where the needle entered. Yesterday was better than Saturday so other than the hot n cold shivers an hour after and then feeling tied and slightly spaced out, I'm happy with things.

Similar to Melbourne, 5km limited distance to travel away from home, at one point we had a curfew to keep people at home. Masks are mandantory except in your own home.

That's my understanding of what they are now doing.

[gronk]

As per GGV8, and for the entire greater Sydney metro area for a start. No one can leave home except exempted health care, emergency services workers and the like.   Its most likely too late for that now.

That's never been a lockdown anywhere. Always been allowed to exercise, do food shopping, fuel the car, go to allowed work places, go to doctors.
But try telling that to some Sydney ethnic communities that don't give a rats arse about Aussie rules.

Hi, had a 24 hr curfew for a week or so in the 60s in Malaysia.
Police patrolling in jeeps armed with Tommy guns.
Very eerie silence at night, except for the odd dog barking at someone silly enough to break curfew.
Cheers

Sounds like the Melbourne lockdown last year was super quite at night with the occasional noon out doing donuts which broke up the silence

7 day hard lockdown from 6pm tonight in SA (entire state). I reckon Shite tickets will be at a premium already with the announcement being an hour old.

Looks like we're in Woomera for the week then.

Though I only scanned back 6 pages here, I cannot see anyone that has really given Gladys a big serving about her lockdown, or lack of, like Dan was coping it from his. I can only put it down to that they must have been Liberal voters, that wouldn't give a Labour one the time of day. Even due to a pandemic. Come on you Labour goons,  time to give some back. Remember the words "give and take"
Now for the more none political comment. Even though this strain is much more contagious, and we all knew this, how fast it could spread in such a short time, Gladys held off a lockdown that extra week, got to keep the economy going. Well I think its backfired in her face. That 1 week could have made the difference in being out of it now, or being in it for months, like now. They just announced its being declared a national emergency. The horse has bolted, its out of site and the gate, well was there 1.

It may just be the simple case of NSW using a lockdown as last option while Vic use it as a first option and Qld us lockouts as first option and people are not happy with it.

NSW needs to go into a hard lockdown, not the pretend lockdown there have atm.

What I said 3 days ago.

Might have something to do with the Forum owners reminding us a couple of days ago that a lot of people need to pull their heads in and play nice in the sandpit...

[gronk]

Using the words hard lockdown can mean a lot of things.

I live on the central coast.....part of greater Sydney...no positive cases...with a river separating us from Sydney...an easy way to isolate, and there has been talk in the last couple of days to bring us out of lockdown, but unless it's done right, I'm happy to stay in lockdown.....I'm retired and haven't been vaccinated, so personally it's not affecting me.

I said it before.....plenty of ethnic background residents in Sydney just won't stay at home.....our laws don't apply to them.

A friendly word to advise that this thread is being monitored. Keep the politicing out of it and excercise some thought and restaint before posting.

Can someone tell me what the expected increase in distance of transmission from my chip will be when I get the booster vaccine and if the one turn of tinfoil around my upper arm will be sufficient or would I need to increase it maybe 2 or 3 turns.

I'd suggest you turn it up until you feel a tingling sensation, if you feel a burning sensation, your toast!

You'll get at least an extra bar of 5G reception

I hear that most of the Sydney Anti-Vac protestors have tested positive for low or no IQ.

I think NSW, well, mostly Sydney... well, after the weekends efforts, the whole place is going to be in a world of hurt soon.

In my opinion, when Qld and Vic were quick to lockdown, G.B. was carrying on a bit, it wasn't needed.
Then, when it was pretty obvious to everyone a lockdown was required, G.B. let it slide.
Its almost, to my thinking, she couldn't bring herself to admit its the right thing to do.

Then only did it when it was well and truly needed/required.

I think Qld will be in for another lockdown soon too.... someone will sneak through and spread this new Delta strain everywhere.
Yeah, i know there was the guy who did and the airline chick, i'm talking in coming weeks.

I hope it all settles down, but i think we have a lot of pain to deal with long before any sort of "normal" happens.

Just my 2 cents worth....

... politicians never like to admit they got it wrong. Wonder if her fleet of advisors are all still employed...

Trying to keep both sides happy failed miserably in this case.... thats where a good leader does whats needed, not what makes everyone happy

[corndog]

Keep it open Gladys left the gate open when she should have shut it. Everyone, except the knuckleheads, knows how contagious this variant is. Wonder what she will do when the next variant makes it's way here. You think she will still use the same strategy or change her ways. I think her keep it open strategy has dropped her in deep poo poo as to the virus.

I hope one day, to hear a pollie say.... i was wrong, we should've done it earlier.
We need to fix it and fix it now......

And then lead the folks as a good Premier should.

I think our Qld Premier has done a pretty good job with the whole covid thing.
Lots of stuff, not so good and child protection is one and its a bloody shocker.
