Spend a good chunk of today trying to figure out *how* to even sign up for a Pfizer in NSW given we're both immune-compromised and have had it heavily recommended over AZ by our docs due to a lot of complications, and jesus christ how dare the LNP blame people for being unvaccinated? Every single remotely close location is all booked out and not even taking future bookings, and beyond that being surrounded by recent cases while we have weak immune-systems is heavy impetus to not go out anyway. What do we even do at this point?

Also minorly miffed that we have no way of getting more snake food without going face first into the heavier covid spots nearby but that's not exactly as important as the little bastard hasn't eaten all winter anyway and probably won't until spring kicks in proper.

Newcastle isn't a "suburb" of Sydney.

What I think this actually shows is that they needed proper, permanent police checkpoints - the ring of steel is a dumb phrase but whatever - instead of going by Scout's honour to keep Sydneysiders in the city.

What they needed was a statewide lockdown the moment they got community cases a month ago.

All of the govt/media messaging is obssessed with blood clots when anecdotally, I know plenty of people who think it's a less effective vaccine. (Which it is, in terms of symptomatic illness, while being equal in terms of reducing hospitalisation and death.) Hesitancy would definitely drop if they said "look just get AZ now and we'll give you a Pfizer booster next year."

I was told November it was likely Pfizer would be offered to AZ vaccinated people as a booster shot. But the doctor that came from also said they literally find out more about vaccination rollouts from the media than NSW Health so who the gently caress knows.

There should have been a proper lockdown the instant they knew a fleeting contact at Bondi Junction back in late June was enough to spread Delta.

I mean, what even is this? I know people who would serve this to me, but I wouldn't serve this to someone. For one, waaaay too many peas and corn. I'm going to ignore the steak because I don't like steak, but even if I didn't I'm aware some people would call it a warcrime. It's missing at least one other element, not to mention... sauce? Seasoning? loving flavour?

Come on Albo, you can do better than this sad meal on a plate.

A balanced meal rule of thumb is half your plate should be vegetables, 1/4 carbs and 1/4 protein. So yes that plate is missing mashed potatoes and wouldnt hurt to add some like beans or broccoli to round it out.

I don't understand why we're not hearing about daycare closures if kids under 9 are getting infected. Where are these transmissions occurring?
I'm getting more and more worried about having my kids mixing with others but it's literally impossible to work from home with two toddlers on the rampage. Who loving knows when they'll approve jabs for under 12.

Delta is very good at spreading to the entire household, with OG covid there was a reasonable chance self isolation even in the same house would be effective. My guess is family members passing it on.

If daycare closes there will be a lot of truly essential workers who can't work, fingers crossed it doesn't come to that.

There was a sliiiiiiiiightly good point that at the time the vaccines were being considered, Pfizer had serious temperature control requirements that would've made it a logistics nightmare.

That said when I'm running a country and dealing with an uncertain future, I'm definitely going to put all my eggs in my mate's basket with zero back up plans because I am very smart.

A logistics nightmare that we are still using and rolling out so that point is moot.

That point is moot because it no longer needs such specialised temperature requirements for transport and storage, so now it's just a logistical ball ache to use like any other vaccine. No one had a crystal ball that said AZ would develop clotting while Pfizer would get significantly easier adopt.

It's still loving criminal that without a crystal ball they didn't prepare alternatives, but Pfizer wasn't always so attractive.
