I REALLY don't understand why diplomats are exempt from HQ - or even getting tested. Makes no sense if we are aiming for covid-zero.

Wait, so where did this other variant come from? And you can hardly blame the officials for interrogating people on arrival after the number of people who have been selfishly breaking the travel rules.

Certainly the most opinionated one

This week there have been messages on the Pleb line that there's a long wait and if you aren't flying within 24hrs to call back when you are. (I can't see how this would help the airline's forward planning but I digress...) Today there was an option for callback, which I took, and lo and...

I don't see how you can blame contact tracing for this. The fault lies squarely at the feet of Case 5 and he, quite frankly, should be taken straight to jail when he recovers from Covid.

The software IS a POS. Otherwise everyone would still have it on their phones! I uninstalled it because it kept interrupting the bluetooth signal to my headphones which was infuriating even without the battery drain.

Saw the Health Minister get asked directly at today's presser if the covidsafe app had been any use in the current outbreak and he said with a sardonic smile "No." Then amended it to "Not to my knowledge" But yeah, another useless POS.

I don't understand why the staff in the age care facilities were not wearing PPE when it's still a requirement for staff in hospitals - unless alone in your office or eating or drinking obvs. Surely, SURELY an age care home is as critical as a hospital when it comes to needing to protect...

Trust me, the testing labs are running 24/7. It may be that because of the lockdowns last year that there are far more testing sites in Melbs (list here Department of Health and Human Services Victoria | COVID-19 testing sites) and they do not see the need to keep any open 24/7. In fact, I'd...

@Bundy Bear my doctor retired last year, which was a disaster for me. However, I asked my friends for a recommendation and my new GP is super awesome.

WTAF?! This is appalling!!!!!!!!!

Standing ovation. Really struggling right now and to keep on hearing that it's somehow our fault here in Melbourne is really getting old.

This guy should be charged with reckless endangerment and sent to jail - with a manslaughter charge if anyone dies. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS.

Marvel Stadium. The absolute worst because of the way you get funnelled in and out of there in huge tightly packed crowds through narrow spaces. :( Lockdown inevitable.

You should be able to get the vaccine at your place of employment. In fact, you should have been able to do that at least a month ago.

Sure, if you don't live in Melbourne, you can afford to be happy. I am currently terrified this threatens my trip to QLD next week.

Took two Ubers last night in suburban Melbs and neither of them had QR codes to check in with. Was not happy. MrSuze said "forget it, the app knows we were in here, but it's the PRINCIPLE.

We had that on our honeymoon out of DRW 13 years ago. It's nothing new. If you don't rent in a Southern capital, you will always get slugged with 100km/day limit. Infuriating.

Yeah but when I rent, I want to try something newer than my own car, and a different model to boot. It helps when I'm choosing my next purchase to look at it as a very long test drive.

Possibly if someone nearby complained, it would be a different story. I've always considered it really rude to bring hot fried food on any form of PT though. Also fishy things. Anything smelly, actually.
