Edit: I had a look at a few media releases and ACT Health have a few thousand accumulated with no test result (ie collected v negative test + positive test)

 

[Colin 2905]

Whoops. My bad.

 

[HappyFlyerFamily]

Whoops. My bad.

Not really. ACT Health have reported differentials between collected tests v negative + positive tests. Looking at the past two weeks, the differential seems to be a few thousand.

Testing down in Victoria most likely due to Grand Final day

This story made my blood run cold. Mum dad & children turn up to a park taking down QR code’s (the children) then attack another family of picnickers and set their dog on a man who came to help.
I really am living in some parallel universe

Picnicking women ‘viciously’ assaulted by family taking down QR codes: police

One of the women who was allegedly assaulted, Jacquelyn, said she was devastated she and her friend’s 11-year-old daughters had to witness the scene.

Two charged over Victoria picnic attack

A man and a woman have been charged over a frightening picnic attack in Melbourne's east.

7news.com.au

Two people have been charged, I wonder if they handed themselves in or were “found” by Police?

Also nutjobs on the other side.

Imagine collecting your take away coffee from a barista at a local coffee shop and saying "oh by the way that person over there is sniffling, maybe you should ask her to leave"

"not EVER go back to pre covid [health measures] levels"

EVER not the kind of word that should be thrown around lightly

Not terrifying if you are prepared to get regular booster shots as I do yearly for the flu.

the idea that 20 years from now you will need to be checking into everywhere with a covid app that ensures you have had your kennel cough that year? no thank you.

Yeah, I think EVER was not the right term to use but think it will be a long time still before we lose the masks and QR code’s. I hardly even notice anymore, some days I drive home and don’t even realise my mask has been on for the last hour

But that is leap you have made not what was actually said. The types of restrictions that may periodically be needed were not specified.

An annual covid booster shot is a no brainer for those of us who already stay current with their vaccinations including annual flu jab . If the unvaccinated continue to have restrictions imposed on them, well that is their choice.

In fact keeping restrictions on the unvaccinated, is what will keep vaccination levels (including boosters) where they need to be. WA and Qld demonstrates that when there are no restrictions, far fewer people get jabbed.

Adelaide summer - I'm already noticing I'm getting hotter with them. But at least I can scowl at numpties. But I am also noticing, in Covid zero state (only currently) SA that compliance is starting to wane.

in a couple of years when its numbers are the same as the flu it should be treated that way, not traced, tracked or have societal freedoms dictated by.

Let's just deal with what we have to do for the next few months or people will unravel.
