I feel like now is the time for more carrot and less stick.

Nearly everyone I see walking around is masked and using QR codes. The issues I do see are the coffee drinkers all over the inner city and the dog walkers congregating in Princes Park.

Respect for our veterans, those who served and died or served and suffered from what is easily seen or the issues hidden and hideous is given by those who care and respect.

Oddly a Cool Professor said to me that another cool health Professional recently had noted I may have some "traits" of PTSD. I am one very lucky sod as running makes me feel good, alive and well. Add my mates who do suffer bigger impacts struggle at times. Next Anzac day I will laugh and chat with them about my 'traits' or shades. shadows. Respect to the those who care- not feeding the trolls. A bit scared what would happen If some told me they were there today being disrespectful. I love some other hobbies and would hate to loose them by being a grumpy sod
Eternal flame is a symbol. If the light went out for a bit it would still be burning very brightly in many of us.

Ps the Very Cool Professor is now one of my best mates as his last words to me were "Just keep running James"

PPS Is it sick to get very excited by a text from a Delivery Company? DHL sms a few minutes ago mean 600 vaccines are here tomorrow. At least 400 people Friday, Saturday and Sunday are now almost assured of getting a Vaccine by several very hard working Doctors, Nurses and even a sick little guy like me

If that is you singing in your excitement I'd suggest you get yourself to a GP. Quickly.

"and even a sick little guy like me". That'll be the day

and chat with them about my 'traits' or shades.

BTW, why would you want to discuss your Polaroids with them?

Several times a week I see a person of several who are clearly terrified doing some thing to help everyone, Big or small (and even cool and tiny at times) Good people come in all shapes and sizes. Photos on the other hand. I blink on command with perfect timing much to the horror of she who must be obeyed yet not on the DO NOT BLINK

Admit I got grumpy today. A poor sod on ABC 774 asked about Medical Exemptions from Covid Vaccines over a mandate for several amazing working types. Teachers and ... Let rip as another Morning radio Lady I love has a expert to discuss who or what medical condition mean you should not have a Covid vaccine for Valid Medical reasons. ( Not Mental health issues which can have a valid reason in some circumstances
My sms may or may not have been read out. Couldn't find the pod cast sorry

Found most of it in this The Very rare medical conditions some think are very very common oddly Oddly bagging the Vaccine I had "Experts say medical conditions that preclude people from ever getting any of the available COVID-19 vaccines are very rare. Professor Tony Cunningham, director of the Centre for Virus Research, says that's because the mRNA vaccines — Pfizer and Moderna — are quite different to AstraZeneca"

Research published on Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against hospitalization fell from 91 percent to 77 percent after a four-month period following the second shot. The Moderna vaccine showed no decline over the same period.
.......

But the discrepancy is small and the real-world consequences uncertain, because both vaccines are still highly effective at preventing severe illness and hospitalization, she and others cautioned.
“Yes, likely a real difference, probably reflecting what’s in the two vials,” said John Moore, a virologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York. “But truly, how much does this difference matter in the real world?”
“It’s not appropriate for people who took Pfizer to be freaking out that they got an inferior vaccine.”

The two vaccines have diverged more sharply in their efficacy against infection. Protection from both waned over time, particularly after the arrival of the Delta variant, but the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine’s values fell lower. In two of the recent studies, the Moderna vaccine did better at preventing illness by more than 30 percentage points.

Without error bars on efficacy and a detailed presentation of the data, it is impossible to tell whether the difference is significant, or, indeed, whether it is even real.
