Today I got my first dose in a WWII airplane factory hangar that is now an indoor soccer pitch, so everything was done on soft, fake grass and I'm so pumped to go back there for my second! Unfortunately, I'm in Ontario, so that will be four loving months from now.

I have heard so many people say they didn't even feel the needle, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's absolutely true! When I saw the needle go into my arm, my brain told me that it was a trick syringe like the ones used in movies.

Whoops, Melbourne Australia has another case of covid. This time it's a returned traveler who went through the full 14 day hotel quarantine over in South Australia and was released a week ago, when he flew back to Melbourne and went home. 4 days later he started developing symptoms, he got tested yesterday and his positive test result came through this morning


https://twitter.com/VicGovDH/status/1391938437779836928


The current best guess is that he somehow got it from another returned traveler while he was in hotel quarantine, on his very last day of quarantine the person in the room next to him popped positive.

Glad to hear it. :classiclol:

More seriously, I wonder if the extreme sound sensitivity I had after the first Moderna dose might have been from the same mechanism. I didn't have any tinnitus, but holy hell was my hearing painfully sensitive.

Man, with forcing people into a workplace you can at least rationalize that they just value money over your lives. But lol wanting your entire workforce together in a restaurant for "reasons"?

Don't feel bad for not going, even in non-pandemic times do work lunches suck rear end.

Covid passports are a coming in the UK. Saying it’s for foreign travel but you can bet your arse there will be an “or” tacked on in a lot of workplaces, with the requirement being a negative covid test or you can show your passport - “mah freedoms” won’t be a thing when people are legitimately been made redundant in droves, it’s just going to make HR’s job easier.

It’s going to be the NHS app and if you don’t have a smartphone you can call 911 for a letter - probably using a QR code on both which would get scanned at passport control. The NHS loves a QR code.

covid passport has always been a joke. people will do anything to fake it or get around it while still continuing to travel. take it from me, hawaii has had a "covid pre-test" passport program for the past year that did gently caress of all.

how ineffective was it at stopping people infected with covid from coming to hawaii? so much so that just a couple weeks ago a kid died of covid, because his parents sneaked him around testing before they came to hawaii for their dream vacation https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-vaccinated-couple-flew-their-family-to-hawaii-their-young-son-died-of-covid-19-on-the-trip/ar-BB1g9vVK

quote:

“Possible sources of exposure are still under investigation,” Brooks Baehr, a spokesman for the Hawaii Department of Health, said in an email. “Symptoms developed within hours after arrival in Hawaii, so it is unlikely the child was exposed here.”

quote:

Hawaii has strict entry requirements for tourists age 5 and older: either self-quarantine for 10 days upon arrival or take a coronavirus test from an approved partner within 72 hours of departure. In this case, while the child’s parents tested negative, he did not undergo testing before traveling.

this never had to happen, this kid didn't have to die but for his selfish dumb rear end parents. people will ignore the consequences of being irresponsible travelers during a pandemic even when it bites them on their own rear end

Same but August so I can actually see my family for the first time since 2019. My vaccination should be complete by mid-June. Really looking forward to some kind of safe-traveller list. Would like there to be some vax requirements here in Switzerland but lmao at that ever being a possibility here. Politically it would never happen but every single IT tool developed around this pandemic has been unmitigated loving trash here so it would never work even if they did mandate it somehow.

For example, people are scrambling to get any appointments and there's no way to really figure out when the next available ones are or where except by just refreshing 5 different websites on 5 different devices or some poo poo like that. Fortunately some redditor coded a little web app to do that automatically with all of the sites for Bern and Zurich (https://rimpfli.web.app/) but something like that is too complicated for the governments to even think of let alone get working in less than 6 months.

Those 1 in 10000+ side effects suck the most. I won the side effect lottery and had blurry vision and it was super concerning because it wasn’t really documented in any of the standard vaccine stuff.

It's probably going to be a lot sooner fwiw. Canada was dry on supply most of the spring but we're supposed to have 50 million doses for 30 million eligible people by the end of June and the deliveries will just keep rolling. It's not going to be the full 4 months, especially if the USA lifts their export ban which as expected once the surplus doses start piling up.

Yup, that's the hope. The vaccine hesitancy is also a full 15% below the United States though(excluding Alberta aka America North), which is a great thing, but also means more people lined up for the jabs....either way, the faster, the better.

I don't really know but I'll ask some of the folks who have been around in the group longer than me. I signed up because they were desperate for help. I assume not many at all. Overflow stuff like that was pretty rare. I'd done funerals before (one a dude I did a blessing for before he went overseas and welp, I guess I hosed that up because he didn't come back in one piece) but not as many as this and not so close together.
