I know, I met him in the Cabramatta Inn one day, he's a big bugger, but your Avatar still freaks me out, the old one seems to fit " my idea of Trev the person " this new one sort of throws me off kilter a bit, lol....

it's OK, he is dead now, he can't hurt you anymore
You need to know the 'old' one looks NOTHING like me Some people here think of me as a 'lefty' and a 'socialist' so I thought I would use my hero's picture as my avatar . I was old enough to vote for him in 1975, not that it did much good

Once the rest of the country is travelling the world and they can only go to Rottnest opinions will change quickly.

ever been north of Perth, all the way to Wyndham & Kunanurra? I have done both, and I envy them - it is a beautiful State with so much to see and explore We traveled from Vict to W.A. (went into the now blocked Cocklebiddy cave) then turned left at the Balladonia Roadhouse then followed the path (mostly coast, but not all) to Perth We traveled from Vict to Lake Argyle then south (mostly coast, but not all) to Perth (over 3 months)

Maybe they should watch a few movies about London during the bombings of WWII or maybe newsreel footage of the bombings of Darwin and south or somethings Australians had to sacrifice in WWII and the preceding Depression, my parents lived through both

As the melbourne supporters who came here via NT found out, the border isn't in hard lock down really anyway, it's a sieve that only stops the plebs. the fed controls the international borders, and we all have to wait for that govs permission. As far as states, direct flights coming all the time, already, they've never stopped, just conditions imposed but many ways around it. |

NSW/VIC
NSW records 374 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 0.9866 (from 0.9584) while the actual line moves further above the predictive trend line and is heading upward again. VIC records 2,235 cases in the current period (the 2nd highest to date) and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 1.0449 (from 1.0089) while the actual line is back level with the predictive trend.

It's got so bad that Covid stopped her visiting them for 3 years before the pandemic started. Meanwhile family friends holidayed in Qld from SA only a couple of months ago. |

With what looks like could be another surge of hospitilisations and deaths in the UK, we might have trouble luring some of those healthcare professionals as planned. Whats plan B?

Thought I'd share my morning's experience with you all.
But before I get into today's details, I need to provide some background info from yesterday. My daughter booked in for her second moderna dose, about 30 mins or so before she was due to start work. She doesn't handle needles too well and was a bit frazzled beforehand. She got stressed because they took a while to get around to giving her the dose and she was worried she'd be late for work. Needless to say she didn't feel well afterwards: she was flushed, hot, felt nauseated and was dizzy. She soldiered on through work but really didn't feel much better. She didn't feel like much for dinner, so didn't eat much. Went to bed about 10. I got woken up at 12 with her searching for some pain relief for her arm and a headache. Got her back off to sleep and hit the sack myself. Got woken up again at 5:30 with her complaining of chest pains. Her breathing was very shallow and I figure she might be having a panic attack. After a bit of discussion, we decide to head up to the emergency department. Arrive at the hospital and we're screened outside. Whilst waiting, I let the ex know what's going on and she decides to come up. My daughter is taken into a cubicle and I go back outside to wait for the ex to arrive. Ex gets here and goes in with my daughter (only one allowed at a time). About 30 minutes later, ex texts me to say there's been an announcement that there is code yellow for x-ray , emergency and one other department. Nurse comes outside and tells me and one other person waiting outside that there has been a covid exposure and that the site may be considered a tier 1 exposure site and that they are awaiting advice in that. We're told not to leave as we may be required to test and isolate. My daughter and ex are not allowed to leave. Either. So, it's now 11 and still no word as to what's going on. The code yellow happened about 8:30. Looks like it could be a quiet weekend coming up.

Haven't you heard, the Feds have already made their call, it will be in November. As for being scared about travelling, not me, going to be living a life again. Already booked international for next year. As you can see, yep I was super jealous of WA for the las six months being in prison in my home, but soon we will be free, and WA will just be a bigger prison.

All three of us are now in iso for 14 days. Test required day 3 and 13. Covid exposure was in the cubicle next to my daughter.
Quiet two weeks coming up!
