At a lot of clinics the doctor wouldn't own the clientele, so informing you of their departure is probably a breach of their contract.

Nah this was a coven of Drs sharing some office space and a reception but otherwise separate entities. I did transfer with it's just no one told me until I rang the old reception. I get what you're saying though.

How good is the federal government for making a disaster payment to support workers during covid lockdowns, then making it so if you are registered for jobseeker you're not eligible, even if you haven't been paid any jobseeker, then tightly defining the areas they support to only areas where transmission is already occurring.

So you either register for jobseeker lockdown day 1 and kiss the significantly higher disaster payment goodbye or don't register for jobseeker and hope people around you start coughing but not too close please. Naturally jobseeker isn't back dateable either. :discourse:

Turns out adhd + centrelink = bad. There's a list of four options when you go to claim. The first is lockdown + living in a covid hotspot. When I went through that and selected my area, instead of doing something helpful like saying "oh poo poo you're in the wrong place go here" it just said fuckoff.

The Fed gov disaster payment is going to be increased, it should match jobkeeper. This only is available in fed gov declared hotspots. There might also be an increase of 200 to welfare payments in the hotspots.

That… doesn’t answer the question.

The question is disingenuous btw. Cases haven't really gone down is poo poo but still miles better than cases exploded, it's implying the lockdown is worthless and undermining the benefit and why it's needed. I wouldn't let that pass either but then I'd go on to answer proper.

NSW Police tell supermarkets to do their job

Shoppers in Sydney could soon be met by security guards at the door after supermarkets were instructed by police to employ people to enforce QR check-in codes.

NSW Police Minister David Elliott said police would hold a teleconference with supermarket bosses this morning to tell them "they must employ security guards".

"There is a need for some logic and this is a logical step as far as I can see," he told Nine Radio.

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.
