Impressively easy to get a test this morning at a Queensland Health testing facility. Found it online. No GP referral needed. Helpful people everywhere. All happened quickly and efficiently. Throat and both nostrils.
Waiting on that result with all those privileged expectations....
*Sampling facility 🙄
1200 AM text. Negative test. 16h. Very ❄️

Yes, & if I *chose* to do these sports, I'd be *choosing* to take the risk.
I *chose* not to partake in any of those.
🎶One of these things is not like the other🎵
Until recently, those of my age couldn't make a *choice* even though there were options.
This a poor comparison
And admission: I don't have my own horse in this game because I was vaccinated with Pfizer in March as a frontline worker. I use my age (50 - still!!) as a example
This is a better comparison because I can't control getting homicided or car accidented.
However, I can *choose* not to stand in the rain during a lightning storm, and I'm a pretty good (& infrequent) swimmer.
But this is just about deaths? Why control the narrative that way?

It will be interesting to see *how* new Qld case(s) - if not a false positive - is linked to Melbourne's existing clusters and what role the 4 days in NSW play.

Case is residing in Caloundra. Arrived here 5th June. Tetsed y'day, confirmed today as a positive case.
Travelled with partner, leaving Melb 1st June. Multiple exposure sites (of course there's a Bunnings!), will be listed qld.gov.au/health/conditi…
If you've been to these sites, please come forward and get tested.
6 close contacts so far - partner already tested, negative, initially

Overly inflammatory headlines aside (no strong evidence for this age-specific spread I believe) - this is some very bad luck to now have B.1.617.2 (Delta, a VOC) on top of B.1.617.1 (Kappa, a VUI) get out of hotel quarantine & into the community at the same time.
VOC - VIU info: who.int/en/activities/…
Other sites in Australia have hosted Delta variant infected people including NSW, VIC, QLD, WA and the NT

@4corners notes Australia's strategy to vaccinate has been shrouded in secrecy.
#fourcorners
Interesting watching a GP basically tell an elderly person, don't worry about clots, when they asked what to do if that happens
#4corners.
Pfizer contacted Aus for "informal" discussions in a June 2020. No deal until Nov 2020.
AZ was a known platform, simple cold chain.
SciTAG met in mid-Aug to review the landscape.
C'wealth kept vaccine planning to itself, States lacking info

With recent reminders of ever -present epidemic of death & disruption caused by domestic violence, it's a good feeling to be able to help out a little today. Our family is helping furnish a new DV sanctuary house for a mum & her young kids. Somewhere to be safe & call their own. Image
As a kid, I grew up around one scary male parent, had 2 "fathers" & saw the impact of alcohol & toxic male anger time & time again. I especially identify with the kids in these relationships. And I marvel at the strength of the Mums.
