Spent the morning trying to get my Double Covid Vaccination Certificate in line , got as far as entering expirer date on Medicare card & keeps telling me it incorrect even though all the other security checks were ok & could not go any further. Grrrrrrr , couple of phone calls & hours going through procedure on phone & still getting nowhere . Grrrrrrrr again , told I need to go to Centre Link, Grrrrrrr, Hung up & tried 1hr later & got mine. Now for my wife's , because we booth have same Email address & my mobile is only one listed with My Gov it will only bring up my account , so back on phone again to find out how to get hers , to be told she will have to get her own email address or go to Centrelink to sort it. My wife dose not use the internet & is not well enough to go into Centrelink or deal with them on the phone & when we tried to put Qld Covid app on her I phone it told us it was too old. One of her health care provider's told me she will need the certificate by the 17th or they will no longer treat her & My Gov will not let me talk to them on her behalf. Grrrrrr. So looks like I will have to get someone to look after my wife next week to go to Telstra to get her a new phone & an Email address which she will never use , then waist hours opening a my Gov account so I can take her for coffee a couple times a week & still use this health care provider. We booth got a card from the doctor with when we had our double Vaccinations & were told then that is all we needed , but they won't accept them.

If you are with telstra you can log into your online telstra account and create a free second email address for the missus.

She doesn't have to check anything herself you can then log in using your current telstra username and password and check her emails yourself.

London's no more crowded than Sydney. The issue is more likely that they - apparently - don't comply with Covid safe practices.

I was discussing that with a client on Wednesday - he was suggesting that we were cursed.

There may be something to the argument that Melbourne being less humid is a factor.

If there's 8% of 6.6 mill unvaxed the numbers won't go down anytime soon. Just look at the US.

DL

But Sydney's numbers did go down at this point, so why are we ticking along at 1100 a day?

Not buying the latest phones because some lazy bastard can sit back & put his/her feet up & drink Coffee.

As you said, Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

My 92 year old mum who doesn't do technology has been OK with just the GP printout of her vaccinations. A little bit of aggro from some stupid shops a few weeks ago but no issues now. In NSW at least the piece of paper is just as good as a phone or the app for proving vaccination status.

I walked into an organic vege shop near my place yesterday and as I was doing the QR code I noticed this sign saying "I have a valid exemption from wearing a mask". Bit of a puzzle - who has an exemption? As I walked in there was a larger version of the sign taped to the floor. I then saw the two staff - neither one was wearing a mask. Penny dropped - these two are apparently exempt.

Given that I'm asthmatic and have no issues with a mask and there was a bloke with cystic fibrosis on TV a couple of months ago who said he had no issues wearing a mask it's extremely unlikely that there's any medical condition that these two young and healthy looking people could have that would mean wearing a mask would affect their health.

They won't get a shock when they don't
