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

[Steffo1]

A rellie returned to Qld from Vic and was questioned as to his recent movements. One question was, 'Did you use gates 7 or 8?'

He asked, 'Do you mean on departure or arrival?' The questioner couldn't give a satisfactory answer.
Rellie than asked, 'Perhaps there has been a misinterpretation of the circumstances? Perhaps Gates 7 & 8 are being confused with the event dates, 7 & 8?'
He was met with stunned silence!

Looks as though the little break has worked and we are back to the new norm tomorrow, looking forward to the finer print

Back to "normal" for us Victorians again.

Hope all the members that were locked down are okay. 

I will always have to work so that is a bonus for me.  But even then it was tough only going to work and home.

News reporters everywhere hoping a Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Covid-19 variant doesn't emerge.

A question for WHO
Why is it Racist to call it Wuhan flu and not racist to name new version British/South African/Brazilian?

Man accidentally invited for Covid vaccine because NHS believed he was just 6cm tall

A man in his thirties with no underlying health conditions was accidentally offered a Covid vaccination because he was incorrectly registered as 6cm tall.

Liam Thorp, 32, was surprised to receive a text telling him he had been offered an appointment for his first jab.

Mr Thorp, a journalist at the Liverpool Echo, decided to give his GP a call and find out if there had been a mix-up.

They informed him he had been invited for the vaccine due to his weight, which they had registered as amounting to morbid obesity.

The journalist, who was under the impression this information was inaccurate, was left confused.

His doctor's surgery called back the next day to confirm there had been a mix-up. Mr Thorp said the phone call was one of the most "bizarre phone calls of [his] life".

Recalling the conversation in an article for the Liverpool Echo, he wrote: "A nervous sounding chap on the line began quietly explaining to me that there had been a mix-up in offering me a vaccine.

Mr Thorp added: "He said, unfortunately, my details had been put into the system incorrectly when I had registered with the GP just a year ago.

"He was really polite and very apologetic but said I was in fact not due to get my vaccine anytime soon."

Mr Thorp was curious to know more about the error.

Wife was told this morning, as they have 3000+ people to call & interview tomorrow prior to releasing from isolation she may not get a call tomorrow. It's not like we have anything else to do other than sit around and wait for their call...

They call it isolation as it is at home. In a hotel you're in quarantine.

My wife is classified as a primary close contact, she bought a coffee on the day a positive case visited the cafe, my son and I are classified as secondary close contacts. We all had to get tested initially, all results came back negative. After a few days my son and I were contacted and told we could be released from isolation on the proviso we were isolated from my wife for the duration of her isolation. I said that wasn't workable, you needed separate bedrooms, kitchens etc. They then offered to put my wife in hotel quarantine. I thought about that for a minute and then decided for the sake of future martial bliss we would take option 2 which was to isolate for the same time she was in isolation for. Hence here we are waiting for a call tomorrow so we can go out and play...
