Coronavirus (COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2) outbreak discussion

[moXJO]

Apparently a 4th shot is now a must as the vaccines don't last long. Get prepared for a yearly dose.

I'm going to sit it out.

China's zero covid strategy has failed. And if they couldn't do it, no one with a decent population would have much luck.

But we don't know what it is, it is just another SAR virus, nothing to see here, no way this was this man made. A bat fell on a frog, with its penis out and was being love bitten by an infected toad at the time.

As the portmanteau suggests, Deltacron is a Covid variant that contains elements of Delta and Omicron – in other words, it contains genes from both variants, making it what is known as a recombinant virus.

What is the Deltacron variant of Covid and where has it been found?

Another new coronavirus variant has been identified, this one containing elements of Delta and Omicron

Cases are rising again and deaths in the UK probably caused by the recombinant virus.

I had a meeting with a real estate agent today. She triple jabbed, me unjabbed. We both know each other's jab status.

She double masked, me unmasked.

A delicious irony.

Hahaha the world is ridiculous!

I can't help wondering does China know something that we don't ?

They are desperately trying to achieve zero cases, is it a power play or is there something long term about Covid that we have not been told ?
<<
China has locked down more than 50 million people following a Covid outbreak which has been branded as “the most difficult moment in the last two years”.
There are about 11,000 active cases in the nation that is relentlessly pursuing a zero-Covid policy.>>

Me: *arrives at property to plate two gallopers and about 3 hours worth of work with youngstock

Trainer: (after I've nearly finished the second galloper) Do you mind if we do the others next week I've got this flu coming on and I don't really feel well.

Me: Sure, no probs, but how do you know it isn't the beer bug.

Trainer: Oh no, it can't be, I am double jabbed.

LMAO

So maybe next week I'll be telling you my personal wuflu story. Qué Sera Sera.

So, got the call today that quoted person has tested positive.

Doing all the necessary bulshit, but both Mrs and I are feeling well enough to be farking dangerous.

... We are not even taking horse wormer

I will tell you how bad Australia is getting, the daughter in law just got a call from the police for not wearing a mask when picking up her bin.

Now to put that in context they live on a 100 acre block that is serviced by a gravel road, the nearest town is 20klm away and the nearest house about 3 klm, where the gravel road joins the bitumen it is a 110klm zone, that is where the bin is left.
Why would someone bother their ar$e to ring the police, to say she wasn't wearing a mask when she put the bin in the back of the ute, there was none else there only one neighbour drove by.
Australians are turning into very strange people.

Are you in WA?

 

[sptrawler]

Yep, it is stupid, everyone feels is their obligation to report someone no matter how ridiculous the scenario, it would make more sense for her to be reported for not employing a traffic controller so she could pick up the bin safely.
If the son finds out who reported her, I wouldn't want to in their shoes, he will tear them a new ar$e and he is big enough to do it. ?

It is sad really, instead of helping each other through a difficult time some people want to lash out and hurt others.

Maybe they get to feel virtuous for being oh so perfect......

Be interesting if you find out who and then one day they need help.

 

[wayneL]

Bloody hell! And the stupid coppers thought it was worthy of following it up? Just WTF?

So that's what Humids been up to.

Deltacron and Stealth Omicron differences explained as Covid infections in UK surge

Two new Covid-19 variants are surging across the globe but what exactly are they? And should we be worried?

Well we did say this could happen, after the media wound up the ranters and chanters, to force quarantine facilies to be built. Hopefully another pandemic comes and hangs around, so we can maybe use them.
I guess the good thing is, we didn't need it, it would be terrible if we still needed it now.

Bullsbrook facility risks becoming white elephant if government finds no use for it

WA Premier Mark McGowan said his government was working through options for what the facility could be used for.

www.watoday.com.au

The West Australian government does not know what it will use the Bullsbrook quarantine facility for after construction delays rendered it useless for the current COVID-19 health response.
The federal government is building the 500-bed ‘Centre for National Resilience’ quarantine facility to aid the state’s COVID-19 response and intended to hand it over to the WA government, which will operate it, by March 31.

If/when labor win the election they could put all the new boat people in there except they would probably complain that it is not good enough for them

Perhaps a holding facility after Nuremberg 2.0?

Just had a call from the youngest daughter, they all caught covid, hubby double vaxxed, daughter single vaxxed, kids nothing.
She said it was pretty horrific, the SIL suffered least, the kids were really crook and spitting due to a bad taste in their mouths and the daughter was bedridden.
She said it is really bad and she isn't one to exaggerate. So I found that interesting, but 7 days later they are all good thankfully.
