@nepia you P-fizzy?
I finished Zenecaing my Astra yesterday ( was about 15 week gap rather than 12: had booked in for 21 June, but had to reschedule and this was the earliest available. Could perhaps have pushed and gone elsewhere but was just as easy going to same place.)
Absolutely no reaction whatsoever. Not even a sore arm.
And contrary to you Neps, was still, at 53, easily the youngest in the room (by 20+ years).

Just completed the second part of my 5G chip upload. Much quicker this time round - they seem to have their systems working a bit better.
Weirdly, I think Iām easily the oldest in the waiting area and by some distance. Did I miss the announcement that it was open to the 20s-30s?
wil be interested to hear how you feel a bit later..and if you try sell all your apple ecosystem then we will also know that there was success
It's already more noticeable than the first one, I've got a low grade headache going on. I'll update on my Macbook tomorrow ... hopefully.
Why would you need a Macbook?

@booboo Yep P-fizzy for me.
Yeah, my mate who's an old bastard like you could pick and choose when and where he did his second Astra. But, he rocked up to his appointment and his Medicare card was out of date and they wouldn't do it even though they'd done it first time round with the same out of date card and a Medicare card isn't officially needed. He's rebooked for tomorrow after getting a new card.
As for side effects, still have a thumping headache and doubled the amount of time I slept last night - I usually have about 6, zonked out for nearly 12 after watching the Wobblies v France.
Typed on my Surface that arrived by courier this morning, which I don't remember ordering. The chip works fast.

In completely unsurprising news, ACT has determined that its mask mandate isn't actually necessary so that finishes at midnight Friday. In any competently run jurisdiction once you'd worked out you didn't need to do something, you wouldn't wait a few days to fix the problem entirely of your own making.
-
lots more cases today here, expect lockdown to be tightened surely - has to be a case for a NZ L4-style week or so to put a nail in this
Edit - I say that in the context of the current approach by other States and the Feds, it's not my preferred path if I had total control
-
@voodoo they're already sending a 100-strong police taskforce (some mounted as well) into Southwest Sydney to help with the problem, so yeah something like that.
If they'd had 100 police on Bondi beach they probably could have generated a shitload of revenue and helped stop the problem but yeah it's The Poors in SW Sydney that are the issue

This has been a weird story. We've had people just doing what they want to do all lockdown in the city and the East (picnics in the park with police patrolling in Pyrmont FFS), yet as soon as it spreads from the East to the West they go in to full police mode. Yet, from discussions with friends out West they've been adhering to the Stay At Home Order better than us city folk and those plastic lipped twats out East.
Looks like Gladys has apologised after a night with her marketing team, similar to when she spent a night with them and then started saying lockdown after refusing to for a day.

I'm not sure thats accurate Neps, if you believe this graph - it shows folk in the Liverpool/Campbelltown/Camden region have not slowed movements anywhere as much as the inner city latte-sippers or the Northern Beaches:
-
@voodoo Hey, don't ruin "my friends told me" with a graph.
Actually, that could more relate to the fact that more Westies are going to be essential workers who need to travel, whereas us city and northern latte sippers can all work from home.
-
@voodoo be interesting to see how they calculate that, particularly filtering to "retail & recreation" only.
The distances you need to travel for anything rise as you move out from the central suburbs, and the population density affecting the weighted average might be the key there.

Places like Bondi Beach make very visible - and occasionally misleading - photo opportunities. There was one early on in 2020 which made it look packed, but really it was only about 100 people up and down the length of the place, and fairly well spaced.
When I've had to go out to the Supermarket this week it has been pretty dead in terms of car and foot traffic, but local parks and paths are busy with people exercising.
Not today tho - fucking miserable right now with showers and temp of about 8C.

I'm more talking about our current lockdown and what I've seen with my own eyes - I avoid Bondi even when I'm not locked down.
Both weekends there have been multiple picnics in the park in Pyrmont, and I don't mean exercising or parents sitting while their kids play in the playground. Straight up sitting around in a group exercising the arm up and down picking up food and drink.
When I walked to get my jab via Broadway and down Parramatta Road I actually thought I'd crossed a border from lockdown to no lockdown. And then I saw a bloody gym operating.
I spend half my non Fern time double checking the NSW site as I keep thinking I'm getting the restrictions wrong.
