Some bloke has come back to work after a few days off. He got the Covid test and says it sucks hard as they might aswell shove the swab it into your brain
Doesn't have Covid but would appear to be like a severe cold or flu. Which considering they are saying you're more likely to have Covid than the flu at the moment is quite an achievement |

No correction needed. It's not just 'mericans. There's plenty idiots here in Australia too who believe every bit of bulls**t that comes out of his mouth. A few on this forum even. They seem to believe Trump is the messiah who's going to save them...

Having said that I'm guessing that you've spent time in all the other states?

COVID vaccine likely to be mandatory in Australia, Scott Morrison says after signing deal with Oxford University
PM: "I would expect it to be as mandatory as you could possibly make it," https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-...atory/12572992 But not long after, he changed his mind. Probably after he realised the Hillsong Church has a lot of anti-vaxxers amongst it's members. PM: "It's not going to be compulsory to have the vaccine," https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-...ments/12575600 |

I’m far from anti-vax* but this smacks of indecent haste. Have seen too many “chemical saviours” that show up later as a bad move. I would prefer known risk at present vs unknown potential side-effects.
*Adult chicken pox was no fun, and I presume marked my lungs much as it did my skin... I’d recommend vaccination to avoid this, for example. |

I can almost guarantee those employers/employees in my (and other) industry will be 'encouraging' it, we lost heaps of qualified crew when the VIC/NSW spikes hit....

When you have idiots saying things like 'if you get the vaccine then you and your friends and family are safe' and/or 'you have no chance of becoming infected by someone that refused to take a vaccine', then I guess we should expect the current situation to remain unchanged for a very prolonged time. It should be made 100% mandatory. And the people that refuse, they should not be allowed to enter workplaces, shopping centres, etc, etc, etc. They should be isolated from the rest of the country until they do get vaccinated. The people who get vaccinated should not have to pay a price for the idiots who don't. |

They were trying to encourage me to get the flu shot at work when they put on some free flu shot thing and got upset when I declined - **** that never had one in my life and im not starting now.
Covid vaccine (if it ever arrives) I'll probably wait it out for a bit to scope out effects because don't want to get autism from uncle Bill |

I have nothing against vaccines, I get the flu shot most years however I won’t be getting any COVID vaccine until there’s decent information out there about it’s long term effects.
Never has a vaccine been so rushed as what they’re trying to do right now, and they have to cut corners in order to get it done. I’m not gonna be a guinea pig. But I,m sure plenty will put up their hands for that role. As for making it mandatory? Yeah good luck with that. That will be the quickest way to make people resist getting it. |

Hmmmm.....so stage 4 lockdowns were based on the 'hundreds of people failing to quarantine' according to Comrade Andrews. Yet the Police have only fined 42 people since April. Wow.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-...tions/12574670 Despite claims hundreds are failing to isolate during the coronavirus crisis, Victoria Police says only 42 people have been fined By Leonie Thorne Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Rick Nugent said some people were in the shed or showering when checked on. Victoria Police has issued just 42 fines to people for failing to self-isolate when directed to, saying the "majority of people" have been doing the right thing when checked on. Key points: Common reasons people were recorded as not being at home were incorrect address details or being outside for a valid reasons Victoria's Deputy Police Commissioner says some people were actually in the shower or in the shed when checked on The State Government said earlier this month that hundreds of people weren't at home when they were supposed to be self-isolating Earlier this month, the State Government introduced new penalties targeting people who did not self-isolate when directed to, including an on-the-spot fine of $4,957. Police were given the power to detain repeat offenders, and people were no longer allowed to leave home to exercise if they had been directed to self-isolate. Announcing the changes, the Government cited 3,000 doorknocks conducted by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and health officials, which found more than 800 people were not at home when they were supposed to be self-isolating. But information released by Victoria Police today shows: 26 people were fined $1,652 before the tougher measures were introduced on August 4 16 people were fined $4,957 after the new fine was introduced For the latest news on the COVID-19 pandemic read our coronavirus updates. Victoria Police said there were two common reasons people were initially recorded as not being at home: they had left their home for a permitted reason, or their address details were incorrect. Deputy Commissioner Rick Nugent also said some people were actually at home when door-knocked. "Some of them were in the shower when we knocked on the door, some were in a shed in the back building something, so they're not all necessarily out of their home," he said. "Our experience is that the majority of people are doing the right thing." Details of more than 30,000 people required to self-isolate given to police Many of the 42 people who were fined had left home to go to the shops or for a walk, police said. People are directed to self-isolate if they have tested positive to COVID-19, or if they are a close contact of someone who has. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has given Victoria Police the details of more than 30,000 people directed to self-isolate since April. But until this weekend, police officers tasked with enforcing COVID-19 restrictions had no way of distinguishing data about those people, from data about people who were not at home when the ADF performed doorknocks. "[Operation] Sentinel units have an app on their phone and they're tasked via the app," Deputy Commissioner Nugent said. "What we can do now is differentiate between those who were checked by ADF and authorised officers, versus the general data provided by DHHS." Deputy Commissioner Nugent said since the weekend, 98 out of 444 referrals of people not self-isolating were still under investigation.

Yeah maybe when I start getting up into the years but at this rate I don't think I'm making it to middle age, then again I've survived Y2K, the large hadron collider and 2012

I'll take one for the team. You can't prove its effectiveness if you don't have anyone put their hand up

haha. You guys think politicians really care if you get autism? You've all been buying Volkswagens and Audis and Toyotas and you think this didn't get noticed by Satan?
I'm against the mandatory COVID-19 vaccination but for the annual flu shot. I'm not going to have some ****er like Scummo decide for me if a vaccine is safe yet. Last edited by gooseneck; 19-08-2020 at 10:53 PM. |

This is a typical approach from a government which operates in a vacuum of accountability and zero care about the citizenry in general.

You will notice some deleted posts in the last couple of pages so let them stand as a warning that anyone who wishes to continue in that particular vein is going to be removed from this thread (and the entire Pub) until they can learn to behave like decent human beings rather than arrogant tools.
I won't be repeating myself. Apologies to the couple of people whose posts got deleted because they quoted one of the posts I was getting rid of.
