Fuck that shit. I won’t even install the track and trace shite on my phone.
What are you trying to hide, you granny killer!?

Ah mate there are worse things to worry about, that may affect you or your family during their lifetimes, than something which will likely only ever have a positive affect on your life. Global warming, crime, illness, Dantes etc.Froggy has proper depressed me here. I think most people think like that, and that's unfortunately why we're all doomed
It's quick and easy and encourages people (those that just haven't been vaccinated out of laziness) to go out and get their jab(s). As the threat lessens they lift the requirement on certain places (metro, shopping malls etc. but not cinemas, hospitals and the like) and then reintroduce it whenever there's an outbreak anywhere in the country.That sounds like a good system for nightclubs (not for Metros and supermarkets. What about people who haven't been vaccinated yet?). I just don't think it should be in place long term and should be phased out once a certain percentage of people are vaccinated.
900,000 people in part of Sydney locked down over one death. Some fella in his 80s. At least I'm not in Australia.
Didn't I also read Israel will be requiring those that are not vaccinated will need to pay to get a negative test to enter public places."green passport" is back in effect here.
can't fly to uk, cyprus etc ...
they're going to demand the aforementioned green passport (proof you were vaccinated) or proof of recovery for any 12+ year old to be allowed into cinema, restaurant etc ...
Events over 100 will likely be canceled.

Also out of Israel - Pfizer starting to show waning antibodies for the fully vaccinated. Not necessarily a sign of waning immunity but it could be.
Possibly linked to the shorter times used between 1st and 2nd jabs.
That’s arguably why it’ll stay at one death.
Learning to live with it doesn’t necessarily mean going back to the way things were.
I do agree... though... it’s a bit balls... the missus and I are both fully Pfizer vaccinated - and we can’t got more than 5km from our front door and nothings open.
I was supposed to be going on a 2 week trip round Victoria, trying beautiful wines and beer and food...
Fucking depressing.
Although... I’ve just bought a shit tonne of wine & beer and had it sent to me instead...
Fucking 14 new cases today out of 5 million+ people in Victoria - almost all isolating the entire time they were infectious - it’s like 130 people!!!!
Raaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!!
Anyway... fuck dry July... my mixed pack of selected IPA’s from Bells Beach Brewery and my bottle of Touriga Nacional from Dog Rock (Aussie Winery) is going down a treat.
Yah it's supposedly going to mean a 3rd jab from Pfizer ... joy.
Wahh, I live in a rich country and am receiving a possibly unecessary third jab out of an abundance of caution, before the vast majority of the world has received a single shot... wahhhhhh.
Hmmm... that's an idea. I already know how to do it and my father-in-law has the set up too...
I actually learned it in Greece. It's quite common here, especially in the villages etc. Just like in WV...WV teaching you life skills.
Possibility that UK might have turned a corner with Delta.
Every region of England showing cases dropping the last few days. The drop coincides with the end of the Euros footy and warmer weather. Scotland had an identical pattern when they got knocked out of the Euros.
Next week we should see the impact of step 4 opening up which could bump it up again. Also schools/unis breaking up for summer.
New research suggests that English speakers put more droplets into the air when they talk, which may make them more likely to spread COVID-19. Since the novel coronavirus is spread by droplets, how spitty a language is might contribute to different rates of the disease. It all comes down to something called aspirated consonants, the sounds we make that spray more droplets of saliva into the air
The Welsh will be fucked.

CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses

There's also this very curious recommendation:
Does that mean the PCR test didn't differentiate between covid and the normal flu ?
Gee, I don't know, perhaps you'd have to read more than one sentence to gain context. Did you try that? Did you try reading the very next sentence. Or, did you just look at this shit someone threw up on the wall and figure you might want to irresponsibly multiply it?
It's saying, hey, we are heading into flu season, let's test for both covid and flu simultaneously to conserve resources. Sounds like some good common sense.
