Corona Virus

I read that tests show the version of the virus now rampant in Melbourne is different from the one that was there in March, so anyone who thinks they've had it already and have some immunity is wrong. If it came in from overseas and escaped from hotel quarantine then I guess that might explain why it's different.
In the US there are at least two versions, known as the Chinese and the Italian strains, but who knows how many other versions are floating around?
I won't be holding my breath expecting a quick vaccine to end this either. Its been 30 years and there still isn't a HIV/AIDS vaccine.

Obviously it liked Melbourne that much, it would have been rude not to revisit.

Apparently HIV is a special case due to its nature, and there was a HIV vaccine trialled in Thailand in the early 2000s that had some success. Coronavirus appears to be more straightforward, which is why the Oxford team say that theirs will be successful.

Oh well, I've had to give up my second trip for the year.

After getting all my border clearances and then packing up setting up the ute ready for a departure next tuesday we were informed that as a result of those two lovely girls...(what do they look like to you?)... , Brisbane , Ipswich and Logan City have been named as hot spots and now I can't cross borders as I have been in or near affected Logan areas in that time period.

To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

To say I feel resentment to those girls is another understatement.

Some of you may recall I went through this in April as well.

So I'm feeling effects of the affects in my own way.....

Not happy Jan.

JEEEEEZUZ, those Sheilas ! [bigsad] Not half causing some problems for people. rb. what about a hang Glider over the border? At night. It would be fairly quiet as well.[wink11]

I know, carrying your billy can & hatchet might cause a problem but not if you get one large enough. Remember Colditz?[wink11]

Good job you didn't join the army!

Edit...


Bloody hell, this thread is moving fast. I responded to a two day old post and then scroll a ton to find my post down here.... I'm well off the pace .

Question: Who deserves to go to prison more. The employed professionals who ****ed positive cases instead of doing their job or the 'fish lipped' women who didn't think they would make contact with covid?

What are the names of those security guards btw?

The Australian Military use lethal force with the Sanction of the Australian Government, The people that have been killed/injured by the ADF are a direct result of orders from that Government.
The people being killed/infected by the despicable behavior of Some of the people infected with COV19 has NO comparison whatsoever with what the ADF do in the execution of their Duty.
YES I was in the Australian Army, Where do/did you serve??

Well unfortunately that may not be a true statement in light of recent revelations.
