Covid 19 (OPEN DISCUSSION)

[Forward Press]

Not sure where we're at with the modelling but 12 in hospital at this very early stage is probably not ideal.

We'll probably hit 10,000 a day within a couple of weeks, if not earlier.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yeah we’ve got cases at both schools for my kids (primary and high school) only a matter of time now.

I had my booster on Tuesday arvo and it wiped me out for Wednesday arvo and yesterday. Felt pretty sh*t, compared to nothing from the first 2. Also got the swollen lymph nodes in my armpit which is a weird feeling. Should’ve gone the DQP!!

Different brand this time round?

Booked mine for Tues. Wanted Moderna but was proving difficult to get/book in for so just booked at Dr for Pfizer. Just in the nick of time

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Had mine two weeks before the original reopening date, because I did my own research (lol) and that is how long it takes to reach peak effectiveness, but with Omicron running amok already I guess my timing wasn't too bad in the end.

Nah Pfizer for all 3. I had heard that the booster had made a few people sick, and the lymph node thing seems pretty common too.

I’ve heard from a few people at work that had Pfizer for the first 2, and Moderna for the booster, that they were really crook for a few days. I thought Moderna was a larger dose than Pfizer initially?

I had AZ x2 then Moderna. Same reaction for all three (a sore arm), but the Moderna booster is a half dose of the usual Moderna dose (which is indeed a larger dose than Pfizer).

 

[Biggie]

My kids high school has confirmed a covid case.

Dr in my family advised me to get Moderna as it wouldn't hit as hard and had some slim benefits in longer protection, but really anything is better than nothing.

Wife had 3 x Pfizer. She was pretty tired the next day but didn't even realise that was why until later on. She's pretty much super human since giving birth for the second time.

 

[MIKE85]

Yeah my wife was fine, headache and the armpit lymph node thing, but that’s it. Maybe I’m just a pussy

 

[kane249]

Uggh person at work is a close contact and their RAT test came back as a very weak positive.
Gone for a PCR test, but could mean we get sent home

 

[kane249]

Perth right now

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

If only the Premier didn't spread so much FEAR I wouldn't be sitting in my open plan office after catching public transport from WA's home of football (Baldivis) right now, I'd be hiding out at home refusing to leave like Balls Up and his self-imposed lockdown.

 

[Chris_6678]

Mate was in a doctors surgery yesterday and a family of 4 walked in and they said yes to being positive to Covid in the last few days lol

Like wow....

 

[MIKE85]

Haha, yeah some people don’t get it. We had an email from the school, asking parents of kids who are isolating, to not bring them along for pickup and drop off!! Which means some genius had already done that, for them to send a reminder email. They’re either deliberately doing it as some sort of “ma freedoms” thing, or they’re genuinely that stupid.

This is basically Balls Up when it comes to the current restrictions:

 

[Chris_6678]

Makes you think that how that guy this time last year was a security guard at the hotel and wondered all through Perth not knowing he had covid. He did the right thing and checked in everywhere but he got hounded and had the media at the front of his flats....

Yet there are so many dumb campaigners out and about doing stuff like i mentioned above lol..

Saw on a Facebook group i'm in:

Person went into a pharmacy, was behind someone in the queue and saw the pharmacist's face get wide eyed as she was talking to the person in front.

Turned out the person in front had done a RAT test, it came back positive, so they decided to go back to the pharmacist's and get another RAT to double check.

Go get a PCR test if your RAT comes back positive.

Yeah seen that too. Think it was in Wanneroo.

People are the worst.

I ****ing hate people

 

[MrKK]

Im guessing “at the start of 2020” is a typo right?
cause there was no omicron variant at the start of 2020 that im aware of

Partially agree re “sadly” and what that says about Bill..

But in a priority sense the most important thing at this point in time, is that he acknowledges that omicron acts like a vaccine - “ creates immunity” in a variant that sounds far less severe than delta etc
Which would mean there is No legitimate “health” reason for governments and media to carry on with emergency act laws mandates, and pushing fear etc

I meant that coronavirus infection causing cell responses and some level of future immunity was known prior to 2020.

I assume the kids are isolating as close contacts. Depending on their age, the age of their siblings and parent's situation they might not have another option than what they did.

 

[Balls In]

I'd be hiding out at home refusing to leave like Balls Up and his self-imposed lockdown.

This is basically Balls Up when it comes to the current restrictions:

I would have thought that now that Omicron is freely transmitting in our fully vaccinated, partially locked down and internationally isolated community you clowns might have paused to reflect. But no. Just doubling down on the personals I see.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Feels like the panicking and anxiety going to cause as many problems as the actual virus.

If you feel sick or are a "close contact" (whatever the definition is at the time), get yourself tested. Otherwise relax and carry on.
