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

[GGV8Cruza]

serious question - so its not listed yet
- but if it is listed as tier 1 (or whatever the worst is this week)- and you test neg - do you still have to wait the 14 day incubation period?

Not listed at all yet, site is now closed and a heap of paperwork and phone calls made today. No result on test yet. i am so over this f'ing thing

Nothings easy.

I was a bit fluey a few weeks ago so thought I would do the right thing.
Took me nearly 4 days to get tested in country Vic.

Midway through Thursday saw there was available spots at a walkin clinic for Friday, but by Friday morning they had dissappeared, and next openings were not until Monday.
Thought I would try the local blood test mob, but need a referral from doctor. Phone doctor and they only do phone interviews. Doctor called me back a few hours later. Chit chat then said he would forward referral to blood test mob and they would call me.
By 430pm I hadn't heard from them so tried to call them. No good. They are only open 9 to 3, Monday to Friday.

By Monday I was over the mild flu, but thought I better still get tested since I was probably now on record as suffering flu like symptons and needing tested.

Still can't get through to local blood test mob. Seemed local number went through to a Melbourne office, with no options to get through to any 9ne about covid testing.

In frustration I called the local drive through testing facility. I hadn't bothered with them as they also needed a referral and I assumed me referral would be at walk in clinic.

But the drive through clinic was very helpful. Said they had an opening in 15 minutes. Just come through and she would sort paperwork.

Lucky we aren't in the middle of a pandemic

I didn't have covid.

Now a close contact, time to isolate and get a test, bugger

I am a close contact and have been in isolation since Friday. Had a test on the day of contact and came back negative but it was probably too soon. Test yesterday came back negative. Have a NSW Health mandated test tomorrow and again next Thursday before isolation ends midnight next Friday provided result is negative. Sheriff came around today to check up on me and had the police and defence force yesterday.  I get a daily sms to reply to and have had 2 phone calls from the health department checking up on me. I would hate to see what checks they would do if I was positive.

Help me understand how you're going to play cricket with 2 (unvax) or % (vax) people, or has cricket changed since I played it?

Or if I rock up to a restaurant and ask if they have let in any unvaccinated people......will they tell me ?
What happened to the temp guns that a lot of businesses were using ?

The safest place will be the smoking room at the nearest airport....if you like smoke !!   

[corndog]

I would like and expect to be told that an unvaxed is being served by a restaurant.  That way I'll take my money elsewhere.  But there will be problems with checking and refusing  service to them. See more trouble, maybe some big trouble when the times come.

And people think the current restrictions are confusing, you ain't seen nothing yet, imagine trying interpret and police those posted above.

The only part of the restrictions that confuse me is the number of people complaining the restrictions are to much and the other number of people saying the restrictions are not hard enough.

Only proves you can not please all of the people any of the time.

Is going to go inspect a car to buy considered ok?  Arthur Daly that i spoke to said yes...

[Troopy_03]

I wouldn't worry about being in a restaurant where there are un-vaxed people. With Delta, they are in more trouble than you. You can still get Delta from vaxed people just as easily as you can get it from un-vaxed. The big thing is, if you're vaxed, you should probably will survive it. The un-vaxed, on the other hand, have a greater chance of ending up in an ICU, ,or dying...

If you're vaccinated why are you so concerned with just  unvaccinated people?    From what I understand both the double- vaccinated and unvaccinated can catch and spread it.
To be certain you'd need everyone to be tested at the door with one of those rapid tests.

So if places are opening up to 'double jabbers' - whose going to police it?
What evidence is proof you've been doubled?
And legally can they refuse people entry?  The local Coles today had a young 18ish yr old girl checking people scanned in, and those that hadnt scanned just walked in

Lastly are self defense lessons claimable on tax or private health. I can see this getting really really nasty for innocent shop/business owners...

Exactly.   And take that further is the exact same reason why there should not be any Vaccine Mandate or Passport.   Rather then creating another Class distinction line to cause more discrimination, just stick to the logic of vaccinations and what they offer.   

Also there is still no talk of those who have had Covid and potentially have a higher level of immunity then those double vaccinated.

actually thats a good point.. slipped through the cracks.
No info on if those that have had it are better/worse off.

Medicare app on your phone shows your vax status

Edit - login via mygov and download your COVID-19 digital certificate

And when they get their arse into gear, it will be on our service NSW app, to either show someone or scan into a premises.
