I can answer that. Poking a hollow tube into me, or pulling something out (like a cannula) will see my blood pressure tank resulting in loss of consciousness and the occasional fit. Best one was while I was on a monitor coming out of an anesthetic and saw me wake up to 3 nurses, one with a set of paddles in her hands. Apparently the vital signs monitoring looked like I was going into arrest.

I've been for pretty much every treatment under the sun to attempt to fix this, but one hypnotherapist (yeah, I went there) said I had the worst reaction he'd ever seen. So it's entirely psychological, but the physiological reaction can be confronting apparently. I wouldn't know, I'm usually asleep by the time it gets fun for the nurses. Oddly enough with a good dose of nitrous I can stay conscious, but apparently I'm not allowed to have my own bottle of Entonox when I need to be poked.

Back on topic please. A few miss fires had me chatting with several people who had a Covid Vaccine, Really pleased to share a little fact it seem is never reported as is is boring perhaps?

Each and everyone who had a Covid19 AstraZeneca vaccine made in Broadmeadows by CSL said they had 0 zero zilch side-effects. I do know one person who is Doctor who had 3 days of flu like symptoms - it can happen. The bad new makes news. BOT hunting for me From Bikes to pesky little Destroyers- Offtopic is needed at times to not stress on the risk we some times put ourselves.

That is surprising J1 although not really. Initial expectations put getting a jab "(I'm sick of that phrase as I am with watching morning TV of bare arms & needles going in the whole 30mm)" on a par with getting Sanitiser & Toot Paper but there has been time for folk to get concerned with all the **** that is being tossed around.

Thanks Brad that sort of helps but still not there yet, mainly for me. Canulas can come & go as with needles but doesn't bother me 1 Iota. Maybe I'm just arsey or fortunate or stoopid even? Y'a know "no sense no feeling".[bigrolf]

Different folk = different reactions I guess. Interesting thoughts though. Now about that Toilet Paper?

I wonder if I could hire myself out as a Proxy Jab Recipient? "The man with a thousand holes" Hhmmmm might work.

It's social media, not a scientific paper. [ although you'd never guess that , sometimes [smilebigeye]]. Off topic is an AULRO tradition, there is even a whole thread on it. Great name for a racehorse too. [ see what I did there?]

COVID particles found in sewage. What does it actually mean ? It seems to happen almost at random, and now 31 Melbourne suburbs have covid particles in their sewage. Not that long ago, Brisbane suburbs, and Cairns I believe, had the same thing. Is this just a natural process of the body getting rid of toxins, is it harmless? or not.

Alert for millions of Australians as Covid particles found in sewage (msn.com)

To hell with the virus. Big Bird is back!

Sub sinking in Indonesia off topic distraction RIP sailors [bigsad]

on topic. Oxygen is a front line treatment for many respiratory related illness. India and else where found out sadly "More than 20 Indian COVID-19 patients die after oxygen tanker springs a leak, nearly 300,000 new cases as coronavirus 'storm' rages"

The numbers of cases coming home with Aussies coming back from India has almost swamped our NT quarantine facilities. About to go to work to book covid vaccines as soon as a nice sparky finishes up adding a charge point in the garage. ( off topic again sorry)

I cannot tell above to the people who will tell me they "want to wait". No matter, I will get the numbers from those who choose to help protect themselves and others. Ill reflect on that over a ale with a few medal wearing types on Sunday after the Dawn service [bigwhistle] I got a golden ticket via SMS a few minutes ago [thumbsupbig]

Have a great day all- Make your choices smarter than the average bear boo boo

The situation in India is getting critical, as the government is not stopping crowds at religious festivals. They are running out of oxygen.

India is now home to the world’s fastest-growing Covid-19 crisis, reporting 294,000 new infections on Wednesday and more than 2,000 deaths. As supplies of hospital beds, oxygen and vaccines run low, criticism of the government is building.
