Coronavirus

[Howmanheyman 26900]

Was out last night for a meal for the wife's birthday, me, her and youngest as the the eldest and her boyfriend tested positive on Thursday. On the bright side they're not too ill so far and it saved me a bit of money.

how you feeling with it mate? Mild case hopefully 

 

Definitely mild. Personally I had intermittent fevers for the first 3 days, a bit of chest tightness.and coughing. Now I've got a headache and general lethargy. I don't know if the latter is just because I've been cooped up for nearly a week and just can't be arsed to do anything. Tbf I've always detested this month too. I think regardless of LFT results I am set free on Wednesday to which my reaction will be meh and I'll probably stay in! However, at least the house can get back to normal (living rooms, bed rooms, bathrooms, and eating together). And I'll be able to see my Dad who is clinging on in there.

That doesn't sound mild! For context I had a tight chest and a blocked nose which both resolved in 7 days. I've had worse colds! Keeping my fingers crossed I don't develop any minging long covid symptoms

Obviously it takes it out of you but a lot of the lethargy is absolutely because you’re stuck in, lying about, doing fuck all except coughing and sweating. Hope you’re back fighting fit soon, mate

Djokovic freed.

It would be funny if the visa got cancelled again.

[PaddockLad 14611]

Theres an immigration  minister who apparently has the final say...so that'll very likely be a no then

Selfish man lacks common sense and compassion.

Context is everything, oh and laws, those too are somewhat relevant.

Cunt who knowingly went round spreading covid deported from sovereign country.

Pretty sure he won’t take up any public healthcare beds
 

Vaxxed people spread it too, argument is moot

Mainly due to the scourge of foreign tennis pros

Accidentally stuck Jeremy Vine on for 10 seconds. They think it’s a good idea (presumably in the interests of balance) to have the deputy leader of the Reclaim party on to discuss this

Please respond with a simple yes or no; Do you believe that vaccinations have reduced the mortality rate for those with covid?

Yes.

The vaccines appear to have reduced the already small death rate by a bit (and chance of hospitalisation).

They also appear to have had a negative effect on a small number of young male athletes.

As someone who had already caught and recovered from Covid I can see why Djokovic wasn’t necessarily in a rush to roll that particular dice. 

For the vanishingly small amount of people who Djokovic encountered, those who were already vaccinated therefore had a slightly reduced chance of dying and hospitalisation.

And Australia’s been whacking people with big sticks lately so their moral compass might not be working that well

Djokovic and everyone else knows this isn’t just about him

Yes it’s about everybody else that doesn’t want to take an endless string of vaccines that don’t stop you from spreading Covid, that reduce your risk of death from a fraction of a percentage to a slightly smaller fraction of a percentage, that need to be boosted every 6 months, whose effectiveness wanes with each new variant and that can leave you sicker than before you took it.

 

all under the threat of having your liberty taken away.

 

Nobody’s stopping people who want to get vaxxed from getting vaxxed I will when Novavax is available.

By any sensible measure Djokovic is a fucking lunatic tbh  

Have you heard him talking about purifying water through prayer or whatever?
