    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    There is a public hospital just north of the CBD that might just fit the bill ;)....... as you are coming from an orange zone you need to be tested within 72h and isolating till you get your result.... :) Turnaround time at worst recently overnight but depends really on batching...

    Will you vaccinate with Conoravirus vaccine when one is available?

    We are in a FF forum, our priorities are different from the population... maybe :) International travel may not be high in terms of priorities in most, return to usual employment, less severe illness, less likely to die etc may be more important.... Don't get me wrong, I truly miss travelling...

    Will you vaccinate with Conoravirus vaccine when one is available?

    It will likely get "in"...... there will likely be "leakage" from eg the quarantine hotels etc. It is never going to be 100% secure. The plans are to catch any "leakage" early/asap... before it spreads too far and wide. The hope is this ends up being like the "swine" flu....... less severe...

    Will you vaccinate with Conoravirus vaccine when one is available?

    It reduces the severity and/or being infected......... time will tell. There will always be the vulnerable, unvaccinated etc and it is not 100% effective......nothing is It will reduce deaths and/or severity Will it open borders? I'm guessing no....... in the short term till we accept what is...

    Yeah, it's a negotiated amount and way how they bill the health funds which again pay the providers different amounts depending on what they have negotiated (with the "accredited provider" or "preferred provider" terms being used). It's a black box for most of us but it can swing the other way...

    Hope you get full recovery! The hospital bills the health funds based on what you have done - so the surgeon item numbers. The hospital takes the $500 excess which would normally what you would pay the health fund as your "excess" if you paid the hospital directly and was seeking reimbursement...

    Position and duration recommended might depend on detached area and use of oil vs gas I'm sure the opthalmologist would have given the right individual advice Hope it's all good soon!

    Will you vaccinate with Conoravirus vaccine when one is available?

    When we were doubling our cases every 2-3 days in March....... I felt then that I would have a 30-50% chance of getting it despite PPE and a 2-3% chance of dying due to exposure at work....seeing what was happening elsewhere around the world Yeah, just resigned myself to that's what I signed up...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19) Panic Buying?

    In the community the use of N95 masks diverts the masks from where it provides the greatest benefit......... protecting health care workers on the frontline even if it may not be perfect for them too!

    Global Qantas Double Status Credits Offer (Book 20-26 Feb 2020; Fly: 28 Feb 2020-14 Feb 2021)

    I see you can "re-use" the voucher for a return trip..... despite booking an initial one way flex economy Can this be used for a return international trip? or a return international business saver fare?
