Kerry allowed out today.
Increase in Illawarra ( Wollongong and Shoalhaven the worst)
Jindabyne a high level of wastewater - probably a case there.
Post mortem death, resident in social housing…
Another death associated with an Aged Care residence.

Autocorrect is the worst invention ever.
I always turn it off, and replace with predictive text plus spell-checker.
I’ve got an @Alan_Noonan_10 setting on mine. I can’t go wrong. Well, that is until I have a few too many and it accidentally flicks to @donnington mode.

Gladys will be so relieved to get back to just killing koalas
Would love to hear the story behind what led to them dying at home. Did they go downhill quickly? Was an ambulance called, and if so, how long did it take to get there? And I wonder why they weren’t vaccinated? It’s an absolute tragedy that anyone is passing away at home because of this and there have been a lot now. We never hear of the circumstances though.

Gladys is really going all in on vaccination just making covid like a cold. It seems really risky to me. Not so much in the long run but to me this is all about rushing to get opened by this magic date October . Wouldn’t 4 more weeks once the magic number is reached be a better idea to see if her theory holds up?
Nah.
You have one state leader being enabled to take gambles and not suffer consequences as everyone cheers them on.
If any other state leader was to take those same risks, they’d be smashed as they are announcing the gamble and then constantly smashed everywhere should it go pear shaped.

Positive case identified at my place of work. The company has sent out a text to all employees across the site to get tested, isolate and wait to be contacted by DHHS.
The business has been super diligent with Covid safety protocols but you can’t manage the behaviour of individuals outside work hours.
Thankfully I’ve been working from home for a lifetime but many others not so fortunate.

She’s more or less talking collateral damage
So if sydney is on lockdown and vaccination is surging, case numbers have dropped a bit but hospital and ICU and death has virtually not changed much at all. Isn’t this at odds with the magic date theory?
A while ago she said we should ignore case numbers and focus on hospitalisation, ICU and deaths. Since then they have barely said anything about ICU and deaths other than to report numbers quickly.
11 deaths and barely a word about it.

I have read about the intranasal application of vaccines, and that it seems to be equally effective to intramuscular injection.
I haven’t heard mention of it providing mucosal immunity. That sounds like a huge advantage, as that seems to be the way that most immunised people spread COVID.
I did have a couple of thoughts/questions though:
-
Given that you’re spraying it into the nose, couldn’t dosage vary quite a bit between individuals? Some people have more blocked noses than others, or might sniff in too hard and swallow a large portion of the vaccine. Someone could sneeze after having the spray. I assume this could affect the dosage that they received, and potentially leave some people short-changed.
-
Seeing as my arm got sore for a day or two where I was injected, I assume you’d get a sore throat from the vaccine, much like a bad cold. I’d definitely put up with that if it meant getting mucosal immunity, but it would probably be a little more miserable than a sore arm.
Next thread title?
- get vaxed, get waxed, get ready for these numbers to climax
- the spike protein shedding experience
- other (specify, quickly)

I work for a timber wholesaler, we source some material locally, and also from USA/Canada, China, South America, NZ, and Northern Europe. The framing that comes from Northern Europe is not the preferred option for local builders, and two years ago we hard a large shed full of the stuff that nobody wanted a bar of. Once the local framing supply all but dried up, it started moving rapidly. Now there’s not a stick of it in the place.
I’ve never known shortages across a range of products like this before. Between the fires of early 2020 destroying much of the pine plantations in southern NSW, then the pandemic affecting global production and transport, it’s created the ‘perfect storm’ as far as supply is concerned.

If your going to put ‘the experience’ as a title, it needs a Jimmy Hendrix pun thrown in.

Not too sure - there is an intranasal influenza vaccine (live inactivated virus) which has been used, so there’d be some evidence on those things. But I haven’t looked into it overly deeply.
The only things I know are that intranasal vaccines require far lower antigenic yields to produce an immune response, and may allow non-health workers to administer vaccines. But those two things would also hold true for something like a microarray patch.
