Sounds reasonable That'd be an extra AUD83 Per month for a year's sub.


Don't know that works. ie. Can you accrue a Credit Balance if you don't need an Ambu?

Like everything else NSW has a completely different system, Eldest daughter had a ride to hospital a couple of months ago and we got a $500.00 bill from NSW revenue. Health funds pay upfront on behalf of their members and after half an hour deciphering the revenue notice we had to apply for a "exemption from fees" based on our health fund membership.
I do wonder how many people pay the revenue notice regardless as the exemption is in very fine print and requires some deciphering, we actually submitted two claims to the health fund before they advised us how to not pay.....

Maybe it is to visually say, "Look at me, I'm important."

Berejiklian’s office told Strewth the stickers were part of the daily screening process to enter the NSW COVID-19 Response HQ at Olympic Park. Everyone in her handpicked pack must wear one — even the Premier. Upon arrival, Berejiklian has her temperature taken and undergoes a health survey to confirm she’s coronavirus-free. If you pass the tests, you get a sticker. As for the shape and colour? That’s chosen each day by NSW Health.

That article is from April 2020, likely now they include other testing regimes like rapid antigen testing. It must be working, They've remained COVID free thus far.

Just had it, so I join the ranks of the fully vaccinated.

GP's nurse was doing one vax about every 5 minutes.

Local testing site - that had one car waiting yesterday - was backed up a couple of hundred metres onto the main road: possibly because local shopping centre is now a Tier 2 site.

You can buy them and some are used now. Just not as good and can be missused by school kids who do not want to go to school [biggrin]

NSW WHITE FLAG? Very temped to have to have a crack at GOLD Standards then saw ""But also to accept what the Delta strain is ... COVID never had a rule book. The Delta strain is no rule book on steroids."" I think that is true for Covid until further development of vaccinations in several years perhaps.

Some projections on how many people will be 'collateral damages' when we get 80% vaccinated exist. Collateral damage is the political speak or Military Jargon for "Dead". The real risk I think is kids we cannot possibly vaccinate until early /mid 2022.

A little whisper came back on the date we get a pass to vaccinate 12-40 year olds outside the current priority groups. A coupla weeks - Politiacan and others can sprook any rubbish or fact but not yet give us a date. Any one know Con. Sure he could do better or would he just say

If you want accurate news on this thing try the NZ news sites Latest breaking news NZ | Stuff.co.nz | New Zealand or NZ Herald - Breaking news, latest news, business, sport and entertainment - NZ Herald There are a few errors in the MSN article. Lock down in Auckland and Coromandel is seven days regardless and the rest of us are on a three day lock down and pending the results of any nasal testing and wastewater beyond Akld we might go to a lower alert level or Level 4 might be extended. The 2 weeks wasn't far off but the dates of locations of interest were listed as precautionary back to Aug 3 as the people being questioned were at this end of transmission and not the start so there was no way of knowing how far back to take the locations.

In the meantime, they appear to have genomically linked the current outbreak to a traveler who returned from the NSW red zone on a "rescue" flight on Aug 7. The person went straight to Managed Isolation as did others on the flight. They threw a positive test on Aug 9 and were moved to Isolation and Quarantine (a separate facility to where they were originally). The person got sick in Isolation Quarantine and was taken to Middlemore Hospital on Aug 16. Somewhere after Aug 7 and before Aug 10-11 (two days before Case A was estimated to have become infectious) this thing is likely to have left MIQ in one form or another so investigations are ongoing. It was a MIQ border error of some sort of another yet to be determined.

This is a good thing, knowing where and when. The decision makers are pleased to have an entry-date and source. Now contact tracing has both ends of the outbreak in their sights and just have to work their way inwards on this thing.

158,000 new cases and 1,055 dead in the US yesterday, just for info.
