I like block chain myself for a Vax ID I mean. Not cypto just Block Chain.

Nurse asked to add 4- Need 6 so added 2. Then subtracted 1 so added mum of one the extras. The Count goes on.


Noting like the Vax card I didn't know about until I see its a FAIL before I knew about it. If I stuff up the COUNT a few people are going to be grumpy with me 1 2 60 .................................................. ..........................

They are paying some IT Guru some thousands of $ so that cannot happen & yet it still does. What's the worst that can happen

I fear we all might. The 450 staff,doctors and nurse missing from RHM is bad. They can and will make do. Little places do not have the numbers flexibility. News like "Goulburn Valley Health (GV Health) has furloughed more than 150 staff" scare the pants off me.

An ambulance crew were picking up a heart attack just out side work before. A lot of chatter were was best to try and take the emergency case. They had a few options which do not take a 100km drive like may happen if impacts on our very important hospital staff get kicked like just happened in Shepparton. Wanted to run a 1/2 marathon in Shep in a few days Small issue of course.

May have been over zealous enforcement but did happen.

Also reports today of Goulburn residents going to Canberra for their second vaccination being turned back at the ACT border.

Yes, I noticed that you had edited it after I replied.
But it doesn't change the fact that under 18s, generally, aren't eligible.
That will, change at the end of the month to under 16s, and at some stage down to 12.
At this stage none of the vaccines are approved for under 12s.
That leaves a big gap.
But I agree those who choose to not get vaccinated get to live with that choice, and those few who can't, need ALL of the rest of us vaxed.

Goulburn isn't part of the border area that is allowed into the ACT as part of the border arrangements so I would assume that is correct unless they have applied for an exemption.

"We recognise that there are many individuals from regional NSW affected by the COVID affected area requirements who need to travel to the ACT on a daily or very regular basis and do not live in one of the postcode areas listed in the standing exemption. These individuals should seek an exemption from ACT Health using the online form and outline the reasons for their travel (eg essential work). Individuals will only need to apply for an exemption once rather than on each entry." from here Standing Exemptions (including transiting) - COVID-19

From what I can figure, the key question from the Doherty Report is, will we accept 'living with the virus' if that means about 30 cases spreading into 35,000 - 55,000 in 6 months?
For comparison, NSW currently has about 10,000 cases.
Can't speak for other states, but in Qld life is already currently relatively normal with minimal restrictions after repeated lockdowns and tough border restrictions. I doubt if people here would be happy with that many cases, particularly if a large number of them were unvaccinated children. I wouldn't.

Why is Australia at odds over the Doherty report and what does it say about opening up the country? | Coronavirus | The Guardian

According to the news I have seen, the ACT has said they will not give exemptions for vaccination, but will supply NSW Health with the vaccines for those who have already got their first shot.
