Test results (it was poo) are currently taking around 4 days to come back, so we could well have exceeded 1000 already.

Was it here that I read contact tracing is two weeks behind?

Vic regional lockdown from 1pm according to ABC. That is 1.5 hours from now, not sure how long ago it went up.

e: childcare closed to all but essential workers. Regional does not have the curfew but everything else is the same. Masks recommended for primary school age kids for indoor settings outside the home.

So now that NSW has given up even trying to contact trace the Sydney area, how close to collapse is the hospital system there? At what amount of cases do people start dying on the street? I assume they've got that modelled. When does Gladys start to panic?

Finally got my approval for the good 5g juice (had a heart attack in march, in my 20s). I was fully prepared to go for AZ but my doctor shut that down completely. I'm in Toowoomba, so not quite rural QLD, but there's no goddamn Pfizer here for another 4 weeks minimum - I can only imagine how dire the situation is in rural NSW, makes me absolutely furious to hear Gladys victim blame the unvaccinated

A close friend is a front line health worker. She has been 'eligible' for the Pfizer vaccine for seven months. She can not get the AZ due to three contraindications. She is completely unvacinated because there is quite literally no, none, nil, nada vaccines other that AZ anywhere in rural NSW. This is a gently caress up of stupendous proportions and to have Gladys actually vicitm blame the dead for their vacinated status every morning is completely stomach churning. There is no way she should get a vote from anyone after this disgusting public performance. I would refuse service if she came into a shop.

* There is no evidence 9/11 was 'planned from Afghanistan' and the subsequent attacks on London, Paris, Bali (et al) were all organised by the same people so why am I still outraged by JWH's lies?

** Let's completely poo poo on the whole ANZAC legacy you utter cum queef stain. How are you still alive?

*** The noble prosthetic limb.

Also the frontline health services available in remote indigenous communities can not currently access vacinnes other than AZ...

Tafari Walton was shot by police who were seeking to question him over the stabbing murder of his former partner, 27-year-old Gabriella Thompson. The 22-year-old had been released on parole and bail seven weeks earlier. The inquest, which began in January 2021, heard that Walton had repeatedly yelled at police to shoot him and had lunged towards an officer with a 10cm to 15cm knife in his hand.

She isn�t victim blaming the unvaccinated, it�s just stating facts in order to prove that the vaccines are effective at preventing death. At the beginning people online were begging her to release info about the vaccination status of people in hospital in order to improve vaccination rates and convince the older people who were waiting for Pfizer to just go and get AZ.

There are 85ish current NSW ICU cases that are COVID-19 related, out of a reported ICU bed capacity of 500, although I�ve also seen 800 as the reported capacity. Usually an average ICU stay is usually under a week because you go back to a ward or, well, die. We are seeing COVID patients stay in ICU for 3 weeks or more.

I think we�ll have issues with lack of trained ICU staff at some point. NSW Health claims to be able to quadruple ICU capacity in a surge but I doubt there are staff sitting around just waiting for a phone call.

The reports of long term side effects from prolonged ventilator use are worrying. The apparent cognitive decline could result in a further increase in coalition voters.

That's all well and good, if (a very big if) the vaccines are legitimately available for all.

Edit: The problem is the rhetoric. She isn't saying "if you can get vaccinated, get vaccinated", she's saying "get vaccinated!!!!! not enough of you are vaccinated!!!! just get the vaccine!!!!!".

The Peccadillo: Mar 4, 2013; We Have Important Work To Do

I saw a live feed on 24 of a helicopter shot of a police line start shooting riot spray into the Melbourne protest, and then getting rushed, shoving with all the cops and scattering all the horse cops, but I can't find a clip of it

They cut the feed, presumably to get a more passive Public Nuisance angle with the chopper rather than broadcasting the (not that many, maybe thirty or forty) dudes getting chased down and EXTREMELY arrested, which is what they came back with like five minutes later

Ignoring how ugly and hateful stuff like this actually is.

Does it work in attracting new recruits? Does a normal person see something like that and then suddenly go "You know what, I think the Jews were behind 9-11. Gosh, better get ready for the race war."

Is that indeed it's purpose? As a recruiting tool? Coz I would argue that poo poo like that is preaching to the converted, and it's purpose is more to intimidate, and maybe as a secondary function help to normalize their hosed up views.

# ? Aug 21, 2021 11:43

alf_pogs: Feb 15, 2012

I would think a lot of recruitment for race-hate stuff like that is less about converting them to a new ideology and more about normalising the viewpoint and making it common to preach it / see it in public. so folks see it and find a like-minded group of absolute loving morons
