I could only get Pfizer choice as well. Arm was bloody sore but no other effects so far.Quote:

I noticed the Drakes out in the countryside this weekend had a few bare patches on the shelves, same with the Woolies near me, which had no toilet paper. If you can't get almond croissants at a bakery, Starbucks does them, or at least they do in Brissy.Quote:

Both surveys I have seen were running around 60% for "not in the numbers". I'd reckon NSW case numbers are running at about 100,000 a day. I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing though as most cases seem to be pretty mild and short lasting, particularly as the current guidelines are a week off work if you are positive and if you have no symptoms you are good to go with the added benefit of a few months of natural immunity heading into winter. The hundreds of thousands of NSW people who have caught covid since Christmas will be all good to go back to work when their holidays end [thumbsupbig]Quote:

(nsw app records your check out when you leave a shop)

I was boosted 20/11/21, all pfizer, no ill effects and have eluded infection thus far. No point going out, the shelves in the shops are bare.
A few questions about this immunity assumption (not asking Tote this).Quote:

The idea of mRNA boosting came about well before Omicron came about.
Is this idea still correct?
3. What's wrong with getting AZ as a booster given #2 ?

Bummer. I read an article explaining this the other day Guardian?? Not sure about the source but it explained it was certainly different & "attacks" different bits or summat.. Maybe it was a Diver post? Read it somewhere. Bugger!
