I notice in the latest list of exposure sites (there's hundreds of them), that they finally listed the places I go shopping, but at times when I wasn't there. The trouble is the dates are 2 weeks or more old, and who can remember what they where doing back then? The dates are so old that if you had caught the virus, you'd be sick by now.

NSW Health are losing the battle.

The other night I noticed that "A Current Affair" had a piece that said if you took 2 different vaccines instead of 2 of the same type, it doesn't show in your record as being fully immunised. Yet another bug in the so-called gold standard.

Whilst there are some research results claiming that taking one each of Pfizer and Astra provides better protection, I don't know of any clinics that are providing that service. That said, it is Medicare that ultimately decides if someone is fully vaccinated or not. State governments merely provide the facilities to roll out the vaccine.

I guess this is what happens when two levels of government team up. Mistakes will be made with each level making different ones. Having said that, there's plenty of proof that the world's 170-odd unitary states are making the same mistakes even though they have only one level of government.

The major problem is that they use a whole heap of Politicians, Academics & Bureaucrats who in the main have not the foggiest idea of distance nor have had any practical experience in biosecurity.

That's the difference between pox ridden cities and the never consulted through arrogance, rural areas that are familiar with a wide range of biosecurity measures and the academics & city people who have no idea of how disease bugs and pathogens move, or are moved around.

It is now twelve months here with no cases, yet we pay for it in stupidity & lockdowns whist the metropolis run around in ever decreasing circles having the same mistakes & outbreaks in perpetuity as they are to busy with their daily Kath & Kim media releases attempting to cover up their obvious incompetence & narcissistic attitude. This meaning they are not ever going to see the spreaders that are obvious & under their noses and they will never see.

These academics & quacks have to go or this will go on forever.

One of my wishes has almost come true: I have openly wanted a "Rabbit Proof" fence around Melbourne to contain the pox in the republic like a Leper colony of Biblical times, for ages.

There's word in The Australian that Chairman Dan's pet road project, the Westgate Tunnel, has hit further roadblocks (pun intended). Now I know why he cancelled the East West Link, at a cost of $1.1bn to Victorians - he knew he wouldn't be able to manage it. I guess we are seeing the proof, even though the Westgate job is less than half the size.

Decided yesterday to make a booking for the first shot of A-Z. I was able to get a booking for midday today. The actual jab was painless. It was filling in all the damned paperwork that annoyed me.

Still, less than 24 hours from booking to having it done, not bad really.

Good on you Robb.

If people would just go and get the shot, any shot, then if they do get the bug will have a better time of it.
I get so tired of armchair critics waffling on with crap they know nothing about trying to sound like experts..

The fact is the CoVd is a virus like hundreds of other virus and if you are within smelling distance of a carrier you are going to get it.
Vaccination does not stop that. Isolation does. Partial isolation by masks helps a huge amount.
As a society we cannot be isolated forever. that is called martial law.
What we need to do until most get vaccinated is to stop MORONS from spreading a trail of bugs all over the joint.
Vaccination puts a damper on the spread, masking helps a heap.

If vaccinated when you get a bug your body jumps to attention and you get a case of the sniffles for a couple of days and you may give it to others.
Unvaccinated you risk a trip to ICU with a pipe stuck down your throat for a couple of weeks or a trip to the freezer downstairs. Ditto for the heap of people you passed it to.
It is all so simple yet endless people try to make it complicated.

Just ask anybody who has been so weak with virus what a treat it is to stand up and walk to a window to look out of their isolation ward.
We live in such a healthy society that sickness like that is experianced by so few. Critics and anti everything morons change their tune after a holiday in ICU and isolation! That is called a change in perspective by actual participation.

If once stands their ground for long enough, most often there is a good result on its way. This morning I received an e-mail from Royal Prince Alfred Hospital stating that my immmunisation record has been corrected and all is now well. A follow-up check with Medicare indicated as much, so the problem is now solved.

Not much was said about what created the issue in the first place but it is good that things have been sorted out and that I don't need to waste someone else's vaccine in order to catch up with the mistake that was made. I think the trick is, when writing to politicians, write to lots of them, with varying levels of seniority. Things will get done.

I guess all I can do is publically thank whoever shined their boots and kicked some arses - they did well.

Fortunately for me the Clinic I have gone to for decades was running a vaccine hub at a local hall surrounded by car parks which were not overly busy & even the car dealership could not get their hands on my car quick enough when I organised Tuesday for today & it was timed perfectly with the Jab.

Whilst waiting for the car and looking at the TV news at massive flock of sheep in a massive que at either a test or vaccine Hub; I could not but look despairingly at these disorganised sheep and revel in the fact that my morning, not organised by bureaucrat's was going absolutely according to plan A and at this time 16:30; Things still got done in accordance with plan A which took into account that it all had to be accomplished by 5pm as that was going to be when it started to rain. God knows where things would have ended up if I used the Government site.

Some days your the statue: Others the pigeon. Today the Pigeon.

I am still unrepentant on claiming that they still do not understand the mechanisms spreading the pox; Aside from the arrogant dipsticks and am getting sick of and cynical with the narcistic daily Kath & Kim show ... Look at me! .... Look at me! Subliminally telling us same mistakes, same Quacks no idea on how to fix it.

Those people who have been saying that getting the AstraZeneca vaccine was risky were certainly on the money. I got my second jab on Monday so I'm fully vaccinated now but I nearly died twice. Going to see the doctor for the first jab I was very nearly hit by a woman driver talking on her mobile phone as she drove through an intersection against a red light. She was totally oblivious to the cars that had started to enter the intersection with the green and I had to brake hard to avoid her; she missed me by a couple of inches. Yesterday after my second jab I was walking on the pedestrian crossing outside the clinic when a truck just went straight through without stopping while the driver had his head down fiddling with a GPS unit on the dashboard. I reckon I must have made Olympic qualifying time sprinting out of the way. I only got a sore arm after each jab but getting vaccinated is damn dangerous!

Friday shopping was about normal. The variations are interesting. Nearly managed to get two rugrats running across a road into oncoming traffic, problem being I was driving the plastic car not the metal one. Then their are those that like to turn in front of you and don't use indicators as they have no idea where they are going.

Lighting is amazing. In 10km Night, or day. Fog lights at midday and night when its clear and rarely less than eight cars with incorrect use of or blown lights.

They're unreal.

You should see blinker usage in Sydney. It is amazing how many Audis, Jeeps and Volkswagens were not fitted with a blinker stalk at the factory.

They were, but likely on the opposite side of the steering column, therefore you need to watch their windscreen wipers instead.

My old VR Commodore had a column shift and the wiper switch had to go on the dashboard. There was no confusing things in that car - not without making a lot of noise anyway. It was a great car to drive too - plenty of front seat leg room with no centre console.
