Anybody want a Corona?

[Rangi Guy]

Looks as if the Rona's made it's way back into the community here. Case up north, which could mean a quick sharp lockdown here - just as we were about to take the girls away snowboarding for a few days

[simple schoolboy]

Speaking of Australia

How many NPIs are they going to try before they give up and accept community transmission as inevitable?

[Biff Pocoroba]

Tomorrow the announcement is expected that everyone should get a third shot at the eight month mark.
This really isn’t going away, is it?

Oh no, a case.

We haven't had one since February outside of managed isolation facilities

Well none have been picked up in testing. Although my training partner at Jits last week was coughing away and joking that it was Rona, so who knows

You're an idiot.

Australia’s response would never fly in the US (obviously), and I’m glad. I mean no offense, I take it seriously, but life would be miserable here.

[Rangi Guy]

Whole country going into full lockdown for 3 days at midnight. Auckland and Coromandel 7 days

if people had taken this more seriously at the beginning this would all be moot. the fact that americans are so selfish and exclaimed my body my right as a reason to not get a simple vaccine may go down as one of the dumbest things america will be known for

It boggles my mind that anybody thinks the Australian response is appropriate.

Called it. I should be picking lotto numbers instead of posting.

All you have to do to stop a highly contagious virus in it's tracks is TaKE IT SeRiOUslY and make it into another political wedge to bitch about!

[Green Habit]

The Eastern sphere approach (mostly Asia, but also Oz/NZ) works well for a serious pathogen that doesn't transmit that fast, like the original SARS-CoV, but with something like SARS-CoV-2 it's inevitable that it will break down. At least they made it by the time vaccines were made.

The outdoors part is ridiculous, but one thing it does highlight is just how much of a joke mask mandates are if you're also going to allow eating and drinking indoors.

No, yet that can be quite tolerable if everyone can get at least one jab.

I didn't realize the vaccine was available seventeen months ago.

If it had been it would be about three boosters out of date by now anyway.
