I might squeeze in.
I'm a twit
One of the lasses I know has just had her jab. I have no idea why because I can't think of a thing physically wrong with her. She's 30.
She knows you.
No, the damage was done before she met me.
Long Shindig.
That's what the ladies call me.
I wonder how much vaccine envy/seething there is out there amongst people who know somebody perceived to be jumping the queue. My friend's sister volunteered at the vaccination centre and got one, and a few people seemed to think somebody was missing out for her.
Do we get our doors marked with red crosses if we choose not to get vaccinated? It seems a pretty unacceptable stance as far as I can see.
I love pretending I haven't left the house since March and that I won't be until I get vaccinated.
This all ends with you stringing your divorce out for years because you 'aren't allowed' in meetings.
I've been divorced nearly a year.
Wahey. Shame we couldn't have a forum beano.
Victoria's 5 day lockdown appears to have worked with 0 new local cases today.
Edit: Vaccine rollout in Queensland starts on Monday with 100 shots of Pfizer going to the Gold Coast...

100? :d
Yeah kinda why bother telling us but we start at 10 000 per week starting next month.
It's really strange that both crystal woowoo people and our version of white Nationalist are arguing against the vaccine.

Say you're prioritising minorities first and the White Nationalists will change their tune.
They both think it is 5g poison made by Bill Gates for the most part.
Telegraph saying the gov aren't going to lift lockdown until cases are in the hundreds. Fucking why? We're vaccinating ffs.
I'm so depressed at this atm.
The vaccine doesn't matter to these people. The deaths don't even matter anymore. Case numbers matter. It's mental. It makes no sense. But here we are.
The vaccine is the end game. Those people must be on quite the gravy train by now.
We thought so too but it doesn't appear to be.
The end game seems to be to get to *almost* 0 cases (but not quite 0 because they must want it to spread a bit?) and then presumably keep the borders shut forever?
It's down to 'the potential for mutations that could escape the vaccine'. If that is the logic then I genuinely don't see why you would ever open up again. 'Better to be safe than sorry', as someone in the office said yesterday when asking me to put a small envelope on the floor for her to pick up rather than in a potentially lethal plastic tray.
Fuck that for a joke.
I doubt the common man will be allowed to leave Australia this year but my vaccine passport better allow me to avoid future lockdowns.
Being kind, it's probably the level where we can maintain control and ensure there isn't a mutation before the second jabs. If you think about it, we're half way through the main job and it would be stupid to lose that point of control when they have it.
It's desperately depressing however. I'd recommend you try and stay at your parents for a bit or friends. Being at the in laws for the past three months has been mentally good for me.
Yeah, it's basically at the absolute extreme end of a cautious approach, which maybe can be justified, who knows. I just personally think from the comms coming out that they have long since lost perspective.
The virus is never going away and it absolutely will mutate. The flu does it, they tweek the vaccine, we carry on. Driving cases down to zero here only makes sense if we plan to keep the rest of the world out until they are all down to zero too. Which, if that's the plan, is mental.
Right on cue, just been sent this:

I'm in Newport all the time and never see you.

I also don't understand the all-encompassing focus on pubs, restaurants and hotels - great and important as those things are, if you tided us over with 'you can meet 2 others outdoors' or something right now (which would have fuck all impact on spread) then it would get people through to a fuller re-opening.
On a duller political note I see that Keir Starmer has somehow managed to fall below Boris Johnson on 'Covid 19 handling' net approval, which, whilst a stupid question because he hasn't been handling it, is also a rather splendid effort on his part.
Unfortunately the new approach of "keep everyone locked up and miserable for as long as possible" is overwhelmingly popular. Most of us probably couldn't even tell you what Starmers views on it are at the moment. I know I couldn't.
Captain Toms daughter needs to shut the fuck up about how hard her life is.
Time was when everyone thought Boris had personally murdered 100,000 people. I can remember those happy days, 3 or 9 or 100 weeks ago, who knows, time doesn't exist anymore.
A round of golf would do me.
I might have one actually.
It feels like most people already do that.

I'm considering fucking the rules of entirely to be honest. There's no need for them to be this strict and I can't be arsed with it anymore.
My fortnight off is going to be shite. Nowhere open to do anything remotely interesting.
Go on, big man.
Just can't be arsed with it anymore. Haven't seen a person I don’t live with for about 4 months now.
I see my parents at the weekend (which is allowed as I live alone). Haven't seen anyone else outside work for, I don't know, mid October? And seemingly won't again until April, so that will be six months.
I haven't even been into work. My closest relationship outside of these walls is currently the shopkeeper up the road.
Yeah, I’ve not been in work for 11 months now. Last seen my mates in August and seen my old man for an hour for lunch over Christmas when restaurants were last open. Not seen anyone else in my family since around August too
Stuck in countryside until next month when me and the missus get to finally move into our new flat in town.
'in town'.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve played by them for pretty much the entire time so I’ve genuinely done my bit, I’ve had enough now and more importantly the things I want to do will have an negligible impact on spreading this virus further, if any.
The scientists pushing this incredibly cautious unwinding are dangerous, dangerous people as they’re doing so seemingly without a care for any of the other impacts it has. They’ve been listened to long enough and there is absolutely no reason why I shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy the nice weather we’ll soon be having with a couple of friends in my garden in March.
It’s manifest nonsense that we won’t be allowed to and we should all be rallying against it come that time. They can’t fine/lock everyone up.
Enough is enough.
Perth City mafia, bro. I’m just excited for fibre optic and UberEats. That and not living in the middle of nowhere'in town'.
Can't believe some of you are still actually not seeing people lol.
Not necessarily talking about anyone in this thread, but it is funny how many people turned from curtain-twitching Facebook judges to then themselves deciding 'enough is enough' at an arbitrary point where it is now absolutely justifiable to break the guidelines.
I'll always remember Chris Whitty's predecessor (Sally Davies) saying that every time she wants a glass of red wine, she thinks about her cancer risk. That is how these people think.
That gets me thinking. While I agree the journalists have come out of this process as comfortably the worst of any group, the medical officers have had an absolute shocker. Assuming they played no part in the vaccine (which was an incredible effort and brilliant science), we have:
No need to close borders
Let thousands of Madrid fans in
Let sporting events and concerts go ahead
No need to lockdown
Herd Immunity - I can almost believe with this one that someone dropped a zero from the projected deaths calculation.
Don't wear face masks
And now we find ourselves in a parallel universe where they seemingly want to do the absolute opposite of all those shitty decisions. Forever.

Absolutely gutted that I just miss the age cut off for this exciting opportunity.
Just use people who caught it organically you fucking monsters.
