    Booster vaccines, eligibility and travel bookings

    I wonder what if a patient said 'I' m travelling to Southern Africa next week' and would the booster - say the 3 month mark? While here, has Thailand undone its asymptomatic test positive, and we stick you with an unnecessary 30K or hospital bill if we feel like it.

    General COVID-19 Vaccine Discussion

    A rather false cause rebuttal. It is about risk reduction. Epipens are for emergency situations, for mostly untrained people. Quite different from a controlled medical setting, for those who are meant to be skilled and knowledgeable. Denmark, Singapore and China see avoidable risk minimization...

    General COVID-19 Vaccine Discussion

    No Not really. The Germans released something like this >4 months ago. The fist two words of the research paper started with 'Vaccine induced' which caused a flurry of denials., and more comparisons for Heparin HIT. On vaccine induced heart damage, BOTH damage the heart tissues (qualification...

    General COVID-19 Vaccine Discussion

    Totally agree. For that purpose. Tick. But the national health authority who purchase these vaccines should be doing community and internal population studies to know actual on the ground situation numbers . In Singapore, they got lots of 'volunteers' to be the proverbial canary. They ran an...

    General COVID-19 Vaccine Discussion

    I think I read the computer model was done a dusted in about 2 days for covid original. And that they were preparing for more variants. Maybe that model is a tad broken because transmissiblity and spike changed quite a lot and N to the power of whatever, is more crunching time. In vitro...

    General COVID-19 Vaccine Discussion

    For .au, boosters at 6 months, but in todays expert panel, suggested from 3 months. Yet there has been little real thought put into those who had AZ, or those who had Mrna jammed in (2-3 weeks). Under that logic the shuttle driver who started? the NSW outbreak may not qualify, and a braindead...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    A measly pause of two weeks or so. But devastating if you have planned well. I am not sure how LCC's like Scoot, Air Cebu and even Jetstar fare. Then there is the wildcard of other countries.

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    I am ashamed of Australia's actual medical performance relative to Singapore and Israel. Both are running their own trials. Both are probably running their own computer simulations, rather than let and depend on Pfizer going forward. Repeat for those super expensive F1? drugs. Maybe I just...

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    Lo hare manana. Who knew Faulty Towers wove its place into outback Australian culture. It will be interesting to see what NEW vaccination commercials will be run in Austria and Germany, because a thing called time has run out. In Australia there was no commercial with ticking attached. What...

    General COVID-19 Vaccine Discussion

    Herd Immunity Observations. ACT is 97.7% plus vaccinated and covid is still being nasty and seeking out younger age groups. I suggest herd immunity is >97%. So it makes sense when Austria and Israel conclude 3rd and 4th boosters will be necessary, having rejected the Pfizer two shots and you...

    Cost of Covid PCR tests by country for international travellers

    I wonder if you went into the local police station, and had a sworn officer sign and stamp a stat dec saying the covid test results belong to the person in the passport and other identification presented. In ACT that would be an AFP officer.

    What happens if you catch COVID whilst overseas?

    A suspicious lawyer would argue being locked for 'observation' in a Thai hospital is not treatment. That fine article from Matt, means Thailand is out of the question for now.

    Australian state border restrictions

    QLD welshes on the National Cabinet deal. I would say it, if the minutes were publicly available. For sure, I will not be booking a qld holiday, as I know they will react to bad news - with a lockdown. Besides Whitsundays are doing so well, they do not need tourist dollars in the high season. I...

    The COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Australia has begun

    People in WHO must be shocked. Looking at PNG and Vanuatu, (Thailand?). I am shocked there was no viable way to accept such stock. Or is it not allowed to re-sell without permission? Maybe Cwth adds an Medicare surcharge for WA and QLD and NT for failing to take up shots. Could have been used...

    SQ SYD/MEL-SIN $499 return

    Cheap $400 RTN fares on Cebu Air (Philippines) - eh plus extras. Not tempted for the same reason as Singapore - same again for PCR tests or the like. I don't know why the Federal govt gave Qantas and others all that free money , when the s**ts did not set up a testing station at the...

    The COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Australia has begun

    Throwing out /Tipping Pfizer down the sink. It is reported we have tons of the stuff, approaching expiry date, that will have to be destroyed. I doubt it will be donated to 3rd world countries, but dumped on the sly. If doctors/providers don't know how to draw and dilute the stuff, we sure have...
