The soft ride the Liberals get at the next election from the media will be even more infuriating than usual when they fail at phase 1 of their 4 phase "plan"

It was good to hear the media actually mock the "gold standard" in NSW over the weekend.

It's terrible what's happening there but an abject lesson in how to handle this poo poo.

Paraphrasing but
"So if NSW failed to lock down in a reasonable time that would make the NSW government at fault?"
"Well historically NSW has been very good and most states have averaged 11 days lost to lockdowns but in Victoria it's 149 days."

Lara Tingle is a good journalist. Good question.

There's been a real lack of Australia wide policy, mostly I assume because the feds are useless, but with vaccine passports and those carrying exemptions the feds should mandate it for 12 months, Australia wide. Not only to cover NSW and Vic where the cases may spike again but also to allow other states who are behind in vaccination rates to catch up.

I say 12 months because we'll most likely be talking about a booster program early next year.

I don't think the federal government has the authority to mandate it. The most they'd be able to do is give money to the states and territories who follow the preferred course (or withdraw funds from those who don't, which is their current flex).

Fair enough then. They could at least make strong recommendations at national cabinet instead of just going "do what NSW do" all the time

There's definitely a medium.

Locking people in their homes because they didn't want to get vaccinated at a point in the future when we're on top of Covid? A bad idea.

Saying someone can't be a nurse if they won't get vaccinated against polio, measles and the like? Absolutely fine forever. In this situation adding a Covid jab to the list doesn't seem like a massive imposition.

Feeling slightly less stressed about Unicron now

The Guardian posted:

Will the variant cause more severe Covid?

There is no information yet on whether the variant leads to a change in Covid symptoms or severity – this is something South African scientists will be closely monitoring. Since there is a lag between infections and more serious illness, it will take several weeks before any clear data is available. At this stage, scientists say there is no strong reason to suspect that the latest variant will be either worse or milder.

I wouldn't lump Ukrainians in with Russians, they really won't appreciate that for the most part.

In Eastern Ukraine there's a lot of pro-Russian feeling but the Australian communities in SA and Vic are now a generation or two removed and they still think the Russians should gently caress off.
