@mariner4life do we think QLD is much different to NSW and Vic? i feel 90% is achievable here based on those thats have had one dose (didn't use too)
depends on if they are using the 12+ years yardstick, or the 16+ yardstick. Also no outbreak means heaps don't get it. Also a lot of remote communities.
for what ever reason, there is an enormous amount of hesitancy here.

@mariner4life good points,fingers crossed

I've read the official release, seems to be using the 16+ numbers
it's still going to take a push to get the numbers up
-
@mariner4life TBH I'm quite surprised we have gotten our numbers as high as we have, I thought 75% would be our ceiling, so who knows?
Maybe you guys should do a Vaxathon too š¤£
-
@taniwharugby that exactly what i was thinking, 75% would be good and am pleasantly surprised to see higher

Can see @mariner4life in the front row, waving his arms back and forward while Yvette D'Ath sings "thank you very much for your kind donation" into the mic
@mariner4life - thank fck they're at least using 16+. Even so, the current estimate for 80% is 26 Nov and for 90% (relying on 7 day averages being maintained to that point, yeah right) is 13 Dec.

im just on hold with the Aus immunisation register people
there is an International Covid Vax certificate you can connect to your passport...but the options are for aussie passport or for an international passport with a visa for which you need to provide the number, as usual there doesn't seem to be an option for our special permit to live in and work in Aus
edt: apparently NZ passport number works so all good

You'd be forgiven for asking why the ACT has the restrictions it does.

Admissions to hospital in New South Wales have dipped to the lowest they have been in two months as the state records 273 COVID-19 cases and four deaths
Jeez, might just be something in this vaccination thingee
simple, once you're injected, they control your brain, and stop you socialising ... so therefore Covid can't transmit. Wake up sheeple!

and yet, no matter what state you reside in, if you are a Labor or Greens "supporter" you will still shout how reckless the NSW Government is being. What a rogue state

As we've all said before, trumpeting of infection numbers isn't as valuable in the post vaxx era. Hospitalisations are key and yet when I switch on the telly or read stuff the first thing is always new cases....
-
@canefan whilst i think you're ultimately right, i have to say seeing the case numbers in NSW drop so dramatically whilst vax rates go up is reassuring and is, if only in an overly simplistic way, good evidence the vax works in some way at least
-
@mariner4life no swipe at the āirresponsibleā Victorian government by the Qld Deputy Premier, and yet their performance managing Delta and the Victorian community has been nothing short of diabolical.
The amount of backslapping in that press conference yesterday by the Qld Government was embarrassing.

Yay. We'll beat the NT.

WA won't open to fully vaccinated people from NSW and VIC this year.
And for those who think domestic vaccine passports are a good idea; NSW finds a 84 year old retired doctor who has handed out ~700 vaccine exemptions without proper consultation.

I can't believe the people of WA are standing for this, surely there is a large cohort that have families in NSW/VIC that want to see them for Xmas? Amazing they are tolerating being locked into their state for so long.
And that DR had better be seeing more than just some minor sanctions - I see the police have "handed him over" to health authorities though, so probably not.

mate, they wheel themselves out for a daily press conference to say "zero cases" it's absolutely ridiculous
It's like our daily propaganda broadcast. Fuck off woman and only speak when you have something to say. This is effectively a loooooong political campaign with no election in sight
-
@antipodean i just saw ACT >95% first dose and basically 83% double dose. Why in the fuck is the entire joint not open?
There are some dumb motherfucking rules coming out in the Qld backpatathon. So, if you only let vaccinated people in to your establishment, you operate under different restrictions than if you just let anyone in is one fucking stupendous piece of policy writing.
And the roadmap to opening is looking a fair way off as the Qld vaccine rollout actually slows, not speeds up.

Fuck knows. Not happy about it either.
