Come in Spinner? Warrny has it in the UK "Australian cricket commentator, coach and former player Shane Warne has tested positive for COVID-19.The 51-year-old is coaching the Lord's-based Southern Brave in England's new limited overs competition The Hundred.
A statement from the club revealed he returned the test after feeling unwell and will now isolating along with another member of the coaching staff."
Its unclear if Mr Warne has had a vaccine or not. For his sake I hope so.

Ten of the new cases are children under 10. There are 6 schools directed involved in this outbreak. I'm glad we did't give Gladys our Pfizer.

Kids bear brunt of Delta surge - children's hospital on alert, Ekka cancelled (inqld.com.au)

This explains the situation well.

Brought undone by deadly Delta, or did Queensland finally just run out of luck? (inqld.com.au)

Now at this nursing home there is at least one registered nurse on duty for each shift so why (with appropriate training/clearance) could they not have vaccinated their staff at the end of each shift so that over a full shift cycle all workers were vaccinated and then as required for new appointments - too easy.

Just got to chat with a lady who did it all by herself at my little place. She is Hospital staff we gave both dose to. Oddly the Hospital is a mass vaccine site. It is a weird world we live in [wink11] Started booking 12-15 year olds tonight for next week. The HUGE hole is 16-40[bigwhistle]

The groups of free rangers should have been in the gov's mind a year ago for mandatory vaccination as well as .... & ...... &........

The really crook bit is places which have beaten Covid to Zero are now just as much back in the firing line. China won- Not now sadly "A Covid outbreak first discovered in the Chinese city of Nanjing has spread to five provinces and Beijing, with state media calling it the most extensive contagion after Wuhan.Almost 200 people have been infected since the virus was first detected at the city's busy airport on 20 July.


All flights from Nanjing airport will be suspended until 11 August, according to local media."

If you can get a vaccine U should asap. The 200 is now 800 in China and tomorrow that will be?

It is likely in the future that the CV-19 will join the standard multiplex RV kits as it becomes part of the RV suite and people are immunised or build immunity.

I thought it was saying the 'RT- PCR' is unable to pick between an old cold, flu, Swine Flu or today's Fauci-Flu.
In short, Not fit for purpose, can't be taken as kosher, - especially as it throws tooo many false positives. Funnily enough, Portugal's High Court has said the same thing. Kary Mullis may yet have the last laugh... 'It's NOT for diagnosis'.

Complete BS, the PCR test is the gold standard and extremely specific. Do some research. We have been using PCR for a number of years as a diagnostic test and it specificity is well proven. The main cause of false positives is poor lab practice. I know this as I have been in with the people who were investigating the problems.

Have a look at the NSW figures. Over 100000 tests per day and they are getting 200-220 positives at the moment. If 10% of those were false positives that would be 20 out of 100000 or 0.02%.
