realbez posted:Please tell me if my understand is way off, because I’m not eligible so I’m only going off the accounts of people I know who have got the jab, but can you not just turn up to a mass vax centre and get the jab if you’re eligible? Why bother with the cumbersome and useless appointment booking system when you can just walk up and get stabbed? If you are eligible for the pfizer vaccine then you need to book because it can't be stored at normal fridge temperatures for long before it needs to be used. Therefore they need to be able to ensure it will be used before sending it to the vaccination hubs. The AZ vaccine has no such issue so it can be stored wherever and used whenever. Therefore walkups are fine.

Konomex posted:Reading the news this morning, the Melbourne outbreak is the Indian variant that is infectious after a day, rather than the 1-2 weeks. That boomer should be publically ridiculed for his laziness. Over and over again in this thread we have gone to town on the first suspect leaked/named by the government/media and it has repeatedly ended up actually being a government/public service fuckup or is a completely different context to the original "story" (think leaky quarantine blamed on sex thirsty guards, pizza shop child, boat people captain in Sydney, etc). If nothing else, I guess it helps explain why our leaders keep telling porkies to the sheeple.

I know three people who have rocked up to the sunshine hospital with no appointment and been given the Pfizer jab. They all said nobody was there and they were in and out with the appointment for a second dose booked in pretty quickly and painlessly.

The fact that they are relying on a phone booking system and don't just have a website you can go to is loving ridiculous. You need to make this poo poo as easy as possible to reduce peoples excuses not to do it. Even if you can just rock up to a walk-in place with no wait time many people wont do it cause they think they may have to wait ages and might not get the jab they prefer.

Solemn Sloth posted:So at press conferences they were pretty clear that the people only made eligible by reducing age limit to 40 need to book on the phone. However a lot of the website material lists separately whether vaccine centres are taking walk up over 50s and whether they’re taking walk up under 50s. It’s not clear to me (because of the use of the term eligible) whether 40-50 year olds need to also meet one of the previous eligibility criteria to qualify for walk up service, or if they’re all good to go at any of those centres to receive AZ. Messaging has been extremely loving poor imo I'm confused just listening to you.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/may/30/victoria-takes-aim-at-disgraceful-lack-of-federal-financial-support-during-lockdownquote:Merlino said he was “beyond disappointed” the prime minister had not been convinced in their conversations to support the state, saying it was “disgraceful” Canberra had decided to “leave the field”. This is a veiled threat, right? Not "have to close itself," just "close itself." Like it was something we did for kicks. This is Morrison saying don't lock down, just cop the COVID cases and keep your economy open, because we're not giving you any support anymore. I've supported the federal Libs more than I would've been naturally inclined in the past year, but at the moment I reckon they think either a) Victoria's health system should be able to match NSW's contact tracing and hold cases at around 10 per day, despite all historical evidence to the contrary; or, b) they've looked at how things have gone internationally around the world, and the vocal libertarian/Qanon/small business owner lobby at home, and regret the decisions they made in March last year because it turns out they could have actually just let 'er rip without any political blowback if they hadn't let the Australian public get a taste of COVID zero in the first place

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:So ... okay wait a sec, you are a high risk and you got your first shot a nearly a month after I did? (No, didnt queue jump, signed up the instant I was eligible and got lucky the next day someone cancelled) Yup! I first checked with my doctors, and at the time they advised that they were only supplied with enough stock to vaccinate nurses etc, so it would be eaiser if I tried to get one through a GP or whatever. Shortly after that was when the AZ vax was banned for everyone under 50 (I'm 35), so every place I rang had no Pfizer and would not administer the AZ vax. I gave up ringing around after a few weeks as I knew I had an appointment with my team of doctors, and clearly they are also sick of this poo poo as he told me he has been sending patients to the frontline worker clinic all week as its the only way most of them can get vaccinated.

freebooter posted:https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/may/30/victoria-takes-aim-at-disgraceful-lack-of-federal-financial-support-during-lockdown c) Why would the federal libs not undermine state government lockdowns? This has no downside for the federal Libs now the public have demonstrated they will largely credit the federal Libs if covid cases are kept under control regardless of whether they helped or not. Assuming the lockdown successfully eliminates transmission, the public will continue to support them and forget about the fact that they constantly undermined the lockdown immediately after it ends, and they can blame state Labor for all the negative consequences of the lockdown to hold onto the libertarian/Qanon/small business vote along the way. The only way this would backfire on them if if Victoria called their bluff and ended restrictions leading to a massive outbreak, but that would hurt Vic Labor even more than the federal government (... and would also be a terrible thing to do) so it won't happen.

I now think that whichever goober the Libs put up in Victoria will win the 2022 election. Governments lose elections not win them, and I think we’re hitting a critical mass of bad will towards Labor that will see people willing to roll the dice and ask “can’t someone else do it”. I think it will also take a bunch of people by surprise because there is such a massive divide in how lockdowns are experienced by white collar workers compared to frontline and service industries or casuals. Like to use myself as an example, the pandemic honestly improved my personal circumstances. Some of the restrictions did suck a fair bit, but on the other hand: I got to spend a lot more time with my bub, and that’s ongoing because WFH is just a thing a lot of employers will have to offer from now on. I spent less money, I lost no income. That’s basically the experience across more or less my entire social and professional circle, although with varying degrees of how much the restrictions affected mental health. But for a fuckton of people, even those who never got a positive case near them, it’s destroyed livelihoods and set them back years by dipping into savings (if they were lucky enough to have them to begin with). For those people the stuff the feds have done is more meaningful: jobkeeper and early super release to keep your head above water. I think people are also going to (legitimately) look at other states and wonder why it’s always us that is copping it. Lots of people going to be waiting with baseball bats for state Labor. Not putting up jobkeeper 2.0 might hurt the fed coalition, but I don’t think the fight is going to help state Labor at all.

If the Murdoch trash rags and Sky are anything to go by, there's a large subset of Boomers losing their minds over the lockdown and comparing Dandrews to Hitlers for restricting their ability to spend all day at outer suburb malls and Bunnings.

Lockdowns made sense when it was all unknown. Locking down every leak of a few cases because you don’t want to hold your public service to account is less forgivable. Dan was and I think is still top of the pops for his consistent line and commitment to doing the right thing but by cripes does does the Vic public service need a Newman cleanout.

QR codes weren't standardised or enforced in the lockdown ptsd state, or that purpose built quarantine facilities weren't established after multiple beaches of hotel quarantine, so now it'll be seven more months until one is ready at best. Vic contact tracing being a joke for ages well beyond the second wave is great too. There are valid complaints to level at Chairman Dan and fortress Vic even as you breath a sigh of relief libs weren't in power.
