Hi John,
I'm in Wangaratta, or near enough.
Is there anthing I can do to help?
Helen Haynes is a fantastic MP, with rural heath background, I can visit her office for you if that would help.
When did her passport expire, I'm sure even expired passports are valid ID for some time, how about her expired drivers licence, does she sill have it, surely that and the passport would be enough.

The phase 1B vaccines arrived in Oz yesterday. Nice health minister announced they are out 8 of March or before????? Last week I was told we are a Phase 1B site and would have more information in the next 24 hours. Talk about tight time frames. [bigwhistle] Yet to see the information I was promised.
And now some input from t'other side of the ball.... Lots of confounders and out of the box ideas....
Discuss & Enjoy !!![biggrin][bigsmile][bigwhistle]

Yep, it is called the "Very Public Wall of Social Media Fury" and has the 'virtual' appearance of the old school pitch fork mob. The newly infected group had visited a previously isolating family but this has only just been admitted. Yet another breach of the rules by this group. It is going to be a pile on of public ridicule on top of shame for this group.Quote:

I'd be really interested to know if they are still defiant (ie. What their underlying motivations are) or are starting to understand the gravity of the situation.Quote:

I think there will be no escape from the gravity of it all. What is heavier, a tonne of bricks or being discussed online and by the govt and the media. [bigwhistle]
The media is reporting PM to be saying "more cases are more than likely". I would be surprised if this one-week lock down doesn't get raised a level and extended as they are predicting issues from it being the UK variant. The govt is defending the move out of the last lock down Feb 14-16 after only three days. I think they'll be a bit more cautious this time around.

I can only assume that if she replied they would have tried to get her to pay for a non existent jab.

Read about B an T cells and other reasons why some countries are (mainy in the West) are ravaged by Covid and poorer ones appear not to be as affected overall allowing for all factors
Quote" Both B cells and T cells have an unusual capacity: after generating an immune response, some of them may become long-lived passengers in our blood, and carry the “memory” of an already encountered pathogen. These so-called memory cells are triggered when the pathogen reappears, and they can swiftly raise forces to fight it.
Long article but might interest some people in the wider picture and doesnt mention hydroxychloroquine or bleach...
