Wow....109545 tests in NSW incl us on Xmas day! 6394 new cases and hospitalisations and ICU numbers creeping up!
+70 (18%) on hospitalisation and steady on ICU in NSW

About 1/4 drop from previous day (about 1/3 off recent ‘peak’) on tests carried out

What percentage of lines are hypochondriac numpties that tested every day? Easting everyone's resources and times.
Who knows. We had to change our plans slightly and are going to drive down to MEL when we finish here. Hoping to still see a few overs at the MCG this arvo
 
We're about one and a half hours into an estimated 2-3 hours wait, although I think it will be closer to 2 hours - we only need the testing as we said we would get tested on Day 5 after entering Queensland. Looking around the other cars, I think there are a lot of other people doing the same. I know we could try and dodge it, but it's not worth it. Although it is tying up a lot of testing resources that could be better used.

Norman isn't the only one they need to fact check. This is one of the most ridiculous covid stories I have read.An older QLD couple who are worried that a trip to Victoria in January is dangerous as they couldn't get a booster until April having only had their second AZ dose in early November! ...
Moreover, why did they wait until August after they were eligible in May to get their first jab?
The three-month delay between jab one and two means the Fishers weren't double vaccinated until the beginning of November.

They also desperately need to fact check that crack pot from WA - Dr Zoe Hyde. She actually blatantly lies and gets away with it. Talk about fear mongering around the virus spread.
 
Still a hour from the front of the queue but heard that SA has dropped all requirements for tests pre arrival

Finally some sense creeping in. QLD and TAS next please.

Not worth what out of interest? Do you have close vulnerable / unvaccinated people you are worried about infecting?

We're staying with my parents who are in their mid 80s. Plus, MrsK has come down with a cold. So we're ok with doing the tests, just to be sure.
We're still in the car, in the queue, but after I called Mum to let her know we were going to a little while longer, her and Dad drove down to drop off food and drinks (it's a Mum thing). The other people in the queue are quite jealous.
 
Exactly, they dragged their feet getting jab 1, and are surprised they have to wait for jab 3 - unbelievable!

Crazy isn’t it. At our Xmas gathering every adult except one was triple zapped (I will admit we do have some special access!). We are now working out when we want our fourth jab! Meanwhile at work I’m still trying to convince some numpties to get their first!

Fair enough. Consider a RAT then?

…some people are just fact-resistant…
 

Maybe this is a good lesson as to why overwhelming pathology labs with hundreds of thousands of unnecessary swabs taken from people who are completely healthy is a bad idea.
