Lucky bugger you, the Gods were with you during your application process, lots of other less intelligent folk from the lowest income areas dident receive such a charmed run, you did and I am happy for you, my local Centrelink was overwhelmed during our 1 month lockdown in 2020 Perth, the line to get in was a kilometre long, if I go to Centrelink now or today it's empty, so lucky bugger me!

VicPol not doing themselves any favours by calling the protesters cowards a day after footage showed them pushing an old lady to the ground and squirting pepper spray directly into her face while she lay on the road.

NSW records 1,035 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 0.9851 (from 0.9627) while the actual line is slightly above the predictive trend line and based on the 4th order polynomial, that trend line now has a downward curve.
![]() VIC records 628 cases in the current period (another high for this outbreak) and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 1.0702 (from 1.10420) while the actual line is trending with but slightly below the predictive trend line. ![]()

Maybe some within the union itself will sort these fellas out, as it will have a flow on effect on their industry. They aren't the sort you want to mess with for too long. https://www.news.com.au/national/vic...00ea08ed57a7f5

I keep daily screen shots of vaccination rates.
Today's number is .1% lower than yesterday for fully vaccinated and .2% lower for first dose. Hows that possible? Has someone been fiddling with the numbers and put it online by accident? Will post screen shots later. From the following site: https://covidlive.com.au/ Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

He had 47.8 yesterday and 47.7 today. I believe the correct number to be 47.7% He should have just left it. You can argue that every 2hrs it goes up. 1% anyway so he would have been covered. Going back is not a good look, I'm sure others noticed. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

It's already started, but that's what moronic people do, follow the trend, or whoever is leading, we may never know that, just the lesser lights, all trying to make a name for themselves, so what's new

So my story of todays first Covid vac jab.
Both my wife and I are booked in for our 1st shot, same day, appointments 15 minutes apart - I'm first. Walked in 15 minutes early and was handed the checklist form to fill out. There's about a dozen people there waiting. There is one pen available to use and it is in the Used container. I ask for a pen and lady wipes one down that's on her desk and I head to the seats to fill the form out. On my way there is a Dr calling out my name. I ignore it because it cant be me, it is still over 10 minutes til my appt time but when nobody responds I tell him that I have just arrived and need to fill out the form. He retreats back to his office, I fill out the form, return to the desk but am told to hold onto the form and take a seat. My wife fills out the form and goes to the desk but doesnt return. I wait. After 15 minutes my wife appears and says she's already done and waiting in a 2nd room. I shrug. But I am watching many people leave and others file in, all looking for pens and a place to seat (vinyl seats, no sanitising going on here) Wife brings back a nurse and there is obviously some confusion. She can't find my name on the list. She asks me to her office and wants me to confirm my name. On the PC screen, my name is highlighted in green....1st dose complete. She queries me, thinking I have made a mistake and am here for my 2nd shot. No. Good start this....I'm already a bit anxious about the whole deal and this is pretty poor. She takes my word for it, she is also not happy and apologises then edits the screen and I get the first shot. My intention was to quiz her on the gap between 1st and 2nd shot and she confirmed that 6 weeks wait is better than 3 but all "patients" are being pushed to get the 2nd jab asap, ie. shortest accepted gap, 3 for Pfizer, 6 for AZ. I ask is this being done to hit the big 80% target, regardless of efficacy and she agrees that yes it is. She's still not happy. She also informed me they are spending a lot of money changing the name of AZ to something else (Vacci-something) due to the stigma attached to AZ/clots. We agree they must think we are all stupid. I find my wife and we head back to the desk to cancel our appt in 3 weeks and change it to 6 weeks time. Lady is hesitant and thinks I have made an error in my request. No. She makes the change but appears to not be happy doing it. Hmm. We sit back down to wait our 15 minutes and read our pamphlet about side-effects. My wife has an extra paper form so we take a look and it has details about another patient. She has been given someone else's info. We found the nurse that seemed to be the only capable one there and she takes the extra form away and apologises. I jokingly say "First time this has happened?" Headshake and "No, nearly everyday. There's too many people here all trying to push everyone through" Lets just go home hey? What a ****show. |
