realbez posted:This is great, but I keep seeing their good uptake getting attributed to them being smarter than their elders. They probably are, but they’re getting jabbed faster because there’s no need to be hesitant about AZ anymore, there is no supply issue anymore, and their parents are taking them to get jabbed ASAP. 12-15 year olds don’t make their own medical decisions Yeah I suppose, but it feeds into my narrative about old people. I'm as guilty as anyone of that but don't ruin my fun! As someone pointed out earlier, the one number "they" can't fudge is how many people are getting vaccinated. With all the anti-vaxxers and hesitancy and etc getting breathlessly reported on it's a huge relief to see that some many Australians are just getting jabbed. I think we should get over 90% double jabbed by Xmas. It's extraordinary that we have overtaken America already despite their head start. Extraordinary in the sense that it seems roughly 25% of the US population is simply not going to get the free life saving vaccine.

Illuminti posted:As someone pointed out earlier, the one number "they" can't fudge is how many people are getting vaccinated Yeah there is already some places getting up to 95-98% single vaxxed, which is a lot higher then people were thinking we could get up to. If most places can get to that double vaxxed it will be pretty amazing.

NSW is currentlty sitting at 77.80% double dosed, which pretty much guarantees it will hit 80% on the weekend. Dom better hurry up and decide whether he's going to delay regional travel or not.

Infinitum posted:Has he said anything about moving up the '80% mark' reopening phase to next Monday? The 80% mark was never tied to a date and when he was asked whether restrictions would lift on Monday if Sydney hit 80% on the weekend he said yes, but he said he wouldn't make a decision on regional travel until he met with the crisis cabinet. It's always looked like NSW would hit 70% and 80% about a week apart. The big question was whether a change of Premiers would substantially alter the roadmap. We just had hail the size of golf balls here. Lolie fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Oct 14, 2021 |

kirbysuperstar posted:Jesus just take the loving vaccine This is why we have to go so hard on vaccine certificate enforcement for a while. There's, like, 5-10% of people who won't take it because NWO/big govt/natural body organic food hippie wellness Instagram influencer/anti-authoritarianism/sovereign citizen bullshit, or some combination thereof. But I bet very few of them are actually that deeply devoted to it and I bet we can chip away at a solid 5-8% of that cohort if we make it really loving clear that unless you relent you are never stepping foot in a pub or cafe again. edit - and unless I'm mistaken NSW's policy is to drop the vaccination cert requirement from December 1 which just seems so insanely short sighted. Keep it in place forever in my opinion, but failing that, at least keep it in place for 6-12 months! What the gently caress else is the point?

StrangeThing posted:There isn't one, nor should there be one. We are on track to reach 90%+ vaccination rates and as we've shown before, eradicating Delta is simply not possible under the circumstances. Melbourne will not tolerate another lockdown. We're in the two weeks right now when Burnett modelling indicated we could see as many as 2900 cases a day. So we're not even at our modelled peak yet. Who's alt are you

StrangeThing posted:There isn't one, nor should there be one. With lives literally on the line, there bloody well should be multiple paths of governmental response. Budzilla posted:If you asked me 15 years ago should Australia get nuclear power I would say yes. But renewable energy is so good now and continually improving I don't see the point in a place like Australia with a low population and lack of energy intensive industries make it a viable option. So nuclear is a non-starter for myself in Australia for that reason alone. This is my position, too. I used to be 100% pro regulated nuclear industry, now I just don't see the need. Also, just loving lol at a nuclear industry with our federal government of witless mooks.

swimsuit posted:whats the auspol take on workers, specifically hospitality and retail, having to check vaccination status? (in VIC) It's going to be a loving nightmare of abuse and violence and no one will help them. KTS posted:It's going to suck rear end. Pretty much daily I'm dealing with idiots angry they can't come in to shop and don't want to place C&C orders. I've already gotten into it a few times with anti vaxxers and anti lockdown pricks so honestly not looking forward to opening up and dealing with it hundreds of times a day I can't even express my sympathy for you. I worked retail many moons ago and still have friends and family who do. I couldn't even imagine having to deal with this on top of the regular, every-day bullshit and abuse.

Our house has no grid electricity connection at all so solar, battery and a generator are our only sources of power. Australia is stupidly well suited to solar, even in cloudy central Vic. Since moving in, the generator has provided about 300 kwh of power and the solar 9000kwh and I could still fit another 4kw of panels on the roof. For most of the year the panels only run full power till 10ish in the morning till the battery recharges then they just load match for the rest of the day. For domestic power in this country solar is pretty incredible.

Megillah Gorilla posted:regulated nuclear industry I think this part right here has always been the real sticking point. Given the race to privatise everything combo'd with how the quality and legal-obligation-compliance-ability of everything is also vastly in decline and has been for decades, the notion of letting some company run anything nuclear is a nightmare.

Lolie posted:There was a doctor in Colac doing something similar. poo poo, I just remembered this story from a mate who works retail in Geelong I DMed him to confirm it, and back at the start of the pandemic, when he still gave a poo poo about checking people wearing masks in the store, he had a bunch of people claim medical exemptions. All were young blokes, tradies. All had a note from the same clinic in Colac, but he couldn't remember the name. I wonder if it was the that one. I also asked him about checking vaccination status and he said he hasn't been told anything about that yet, but he certainly won't be doing it. Not because he doesn't want to, but out of sheer self defence from abuse and violence.

There was a mention in the thread earlier of how Blue Hydrogen is an emissions con, and it is nice to see some big voices speaking out against it: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-14/twiggy-forrest-accuses-nationals-of-coal-fearmongering-for-votes/100537902 quote:Mr Morrison has said the government hopes to reach carbon neutrality "preferably" by 2050 through a combination of emerging technologies and without taxation.

I’m extremely sceptical of anything loving twiggy Forrest says, but if his con is just that he’s made investments so that a pivot to renewables is effectively pouring taxpayer funds directly into his pocket then that’s a trade off in totally fine making. Similar to the NFF, just pay them whatever it takes to make them gently caress off and kick the Nats into line.

By the time December 1 arrives we'll plausibly be looking at 95% vaccination rate, it wouldn't seem like there's going to be any urgent need to police vaccination status when the non-vaccinated are going to be such a minority.

That's dozens of unvaccinated people. What benefit is there to broader society to tolerating them? gently caress 'em. Get vaccinated or gently caress off. Make that a hashtag or a slogan or whatever. If I had a pub I'd put it in big loving neon letters on the roof.

Lots of places to build it, not sure why he wants to trample untouched nature to do so. Probably to hide all the coal they'll burn.
