Nature is powerful and the lesson is that vaccination isnt the total answer sadly...


Quote: "that COVID harms many people, even those without #LongCovid or hospitalization. COVID predominantly affects the *vascular* system (the blood vessels), causing harm to the blood cells & blood flow,t his has a downstream impact on nerves, immune system, & multiple organs, including the brain. Vaccination prevents against death, but not against long term damage.

So, would you agree that the ideal is... to NOT get the infection.
- 'NOT' having the mileu, environment, the Soil that is is conducive to supporting the virus. Put it another way, having a garden bed that is ... NOT friendly to weeds.

You might find this interesting. Dr Campbell and his series of vids on Fauci Flu. Possibly the best and balanced blog on the net, though he still appears to support jabbing...

Not sure anyone in NSW actually paid for tests anyway, our house is awash with them, eldest daughter and SWMBO have as many free ones as they want from their employer and I've been given a stack from work. There's a pretty good swap culture around to supply anyone else who needs them now that they are freely available.

I'm sure WA are concerned and worried but the Eastern states are moving on with life. The number of people off work is still having an impact, along with those isolating as close contacts but there is little of the stress and worry about the unknown that there was last year. It was interesting to see how quickly the "shock horror" stories about the new sub variant of Omicron dropped out of the press when it didn't generate clicks

Heather went to our local chemist to get my pills and the owner gave her to two packs of free RATS , he said next month the government is with drawing the offer of free RATS for concession card holders.

Umm.. You can buy them for your own curiosity, however if you think you need one you can get one free.

Let’s remember the one catch - RATs do NOT detect around days ~1-5 and post day ~8

if you think you need one you can get one free.

So if you think you have covid symptoms go into town and get a free RAT test.

Don't you think that it is FAR better to already have the RAT tests on hand so that you don't expose or be in contact with anyone else by having to go and get a free test?

Works just fine here in NZ. I'm wearing a mask and sitting in my car. The nurses are wearing a mask, face shield and other PPE and are in an open marquee with good air flow in a drive-through situation. Works really well here. It gives you a chance to also ask questions about your symptoms or other things covid related. When I went through a couple of weeks back, they were pulling people to one side for triage if necessary - pulse oxi-meters and temperatures etc. Seems to be able to relieve pressure on GPs frontline services and is an asset in dealing with the pandemic, not a liability.

I was refering to RAT tests not PCR tests, Of course you have to front up for a PCR test as that can't be done at home.
