    I suppose it's part of the trouble with a fast-tracked vaccine.

    Do people that have had other vaccines generally still transmit?

    No, but we've never really vaccinated against a similar virus. Flu would be probably the closest but the flu vaccine is very different to the covid vaccine.

    Strewth that is brutal.

    Returned overseas travellers due to be released from quarantine at the Grand Chancellor Hotel in Brisbane on Wednesday remain in their rooms and are expected to be held for another two weeks.

    A cleaner who worked at the hotel contracted the highly infectious UK COVID-19 strain last week, and police are combing through four days of CCTV footage to pinpoint the moment of transmission

    The BBC headlines all the way down the front page right now are amazing. The scares just keep on coming. Definitely going for the cluster bomb approach, or maybe the Noel's Gunge Tank approach, depending on which way you look at it.

    I don't think anyone has defended them in a long time, it's been a long line of these though this is the biggest in a long time.

    That is the spirit cobber!

    “If we want herd immunity ... then we should be going with the Pfizer and Moderna ones. But if the [AstraZeneca] one is all we've got, we will protect people against COVID-19 to a significant extent, but not as much as the Pfizer one.”

    When I saw Michael Martin stressing that this was something Ireland did to itself my first instinct was to lol at you all being gutted at not being able to blame us for it, but it seems that there is a real tendency to think of these things as weird church excesses, as if it was all a bit separate and not something that ninety-nine per cent of people would have supported at the time.

    Elsewhere, lol at this Chinese vaccine Brazil are using being shit.

    My 91 year old gran has been diagnosed with it today.

    Slipped over before Christmas, went into hospital for an operation on her ankle as a result, moved into a care home to recuperate, caught covid.

    She's asymptomatic at the moment thank fuck, but what a bollocks.

    That's shit. Hopefully she's okay. Have they not vaccinated over 90s yet? Especially if they were in a hospital or care home?

    I think she was booked in to have one but the accident got in the way. Proper unlucky chain of events to get to where she is now.

    My brother-in-law's grandfather caught it in similar circumstances. Had a fall, went into hospital, caught COVID. Dead a week later.

    That a shitter, my parents are in their 70's/80's and my Dad is about to be scheduled for a heart valve op. Really hoping it doesn't need to be anytime soon.

    They're starting to believe in the media hyperbole, aren't they?

    There was this harrowing read yesterday which really hit home their struggles. For those unable to digest the article, almost 45% of the useless cunts felt down in July last year. Real shame that they missed out on all the shits and giggles we were all having.

    Not that I'm trying to skive or anything, but I went back to work last time on 8 June, which was a month since the deaths went below five-hundred and falling, and was down to a couple of hundred a day by that point. We weren't allowed the air condition on for about a month as well. Now we're open, albeit for only two days a week. If the civil service isn't even taking the opportunity not to work then you can see why people generally aren't.

    Covid Camps.

    The Queensland Government will consider using mining camps to quarantine international travellers as the state grapples with a cluster of the highly-contagious UK strain of coronavirus.

    Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she would raise the matter with the Federal Government when national cabinet meets next Friday.

    "We are going to look at all options and one of those options is to look at some of the mining camps that we have in Queensland," she said.

    "Now, for a start, some of these mining camps are four-star.

    "My understanding is most of them, the ones we're looking at, have balconies so there's a lot of fresh air for guests and also, too, there's the capacity for all of the staff and the cleaners and everyone to also be based on those sites as well.

    "I think this is a rational option and if we are dealing with a strain which is up to 70 per cent more infectious, I think we need to be really serious about it."

    What a fuck up if true.


    #BREAKING: Major concerns have been raised over a reported Covid quarantine breach at a Brisbane medi-hotel.

    The Courier-Mail says the incident involves a woman in her 20s. who'd arrived from Lebanon with her father on New Year's Day.

    Read more: http://ab.co/3qhbjo4

    They'd been in isolation at the Grand Chancellor when the man in his 40s was taken by ambulance to the Royal Brisbane Hospital on Monday night with a medical complaint.

    It's understood the woman was allowed to accompany him but was later left to return to the hotel on her own accord.

    Both subsequently tested positive to the fast-spreading U-K Covid strain that saw the Grand Chancellor evacuated yesterday.

    Queensland Health has been contacted for comment.

    My bullshit detector first twitched at the description of his wellbeing. Nobody in all of human history up to now has ever been described as 'very healthy', you'd just say healthy. And with that I knew he wasn't going to be.

    This is a good Twitter thread on compliance. In short, not enough people isolate for long enough when they have symptoms, and the fucking over-sixties are the worst for it.

    Had another test today cos I’m going picking up a Pokémon card bundle later () so wanted to be able to say I didn’t infect anyone, but the dozy cow at the test place definitely put my number in wrong cos it’s been three hours and heard nothing.
