nCoV public service announcement. (IMPORTANT)

I want to get vaccinated with a duelling foil!

The issue with blowdart is not only hitting the correct spot to get the vaccine in but also injecting it.  I suppose a small gas container, under alot of pressure, that cracks open upon impact, pushing a plunger would work.

There's a better option. Regular darts, coated in Moderna, and you need about 500 "boosters" to get the required dose. Arm every citizen and tell them it's open season on anyone and everyone. People get to take out their aggression on their neighbors, enemies, friends, and family members, so everyone will be nicer to each other since they aren't full of pent-up rage, and we'll all be so full of the vaccine we won't ever bitch about cell phone coverage again.

I want to get vaccinated with that electromagnetic gun.

I think the UK may have a leg up on us considering all 1 trillion pubs there have handfuls of those pointy projectiles. Here in the States, we should unban lawn darts for the cause and just have all the kids running around hurling them at everyone.

I want the Moderna-Jart collaboration lawn darts.

The Queen tests positive for covid after meeting her son Charles. I knew the guy was growing impatient and desperate to be King but geez I did not expect he would attempt to murder his own mother to do it.

Dont really care myself. The royal institution is a relic that should have died decades ago. Pompous and over privileged for zero reason. Maybe Charles can kick the bucket too

I can't say I'm fussed either way, but I like the pomp. It brightens up an otherwise dreary country.

I also hold on the the hope that one day the Queen just thinks "fuck the constitutional monarchy crap" and bitch slaps Blojo out of office.

The gay guy likes the pomp and flair amd fancy hats.

Is it any different to the pomp and flair around sporting events straight people enjoy?

There's less rioting and looting with the royal pomp. (nowadays, anyway)

Body painting a beer gut with your teams colours....
I guess you peoole call them "da bears"?

So, uh, how about that COVID, amirite?

So, uh, how about that COVID, amirite?

About 12% of Canberrans have tested positive for the virus so far so that's over 45000 people. God knows how many infected but never got tested. I have been spared for the moment. But now that I said that I'm probably going to get infected

Thanks a lot boydster

Aaahaha
Calen knows i jest.
I think...



Akward tension... silence....
And
How bout that weather?
Crazy....




Back to covid

Interesting graphics where they put three graphs together:   hospitalization, icu, and death

Peaks and valleys all swing in parallel.
But look at the magnitude between alpha vs delta vs omicron - assumed association by month-peaks and understanding when ontario lifted lockdowns.

Basically delta was a massive killer at the icu level and on scale omicron way mpre infectious but on deadly scale as alpha (considering noone knew wtf to do woth alpha).
Still a burden on healthcare due to only fact of sheer numbers mkaing the % equivalent.
and Canada has a 10% antivax crowd so still a large enough % of the pop to be disruptive to healthcare.

A comment from 'Fred' from that article which shits me

"As for folks who died - like my dad - "with" covid, the vast majority were elderly and had a miriad of co-morbidites."

Way to minimise the value of life in the elderly and people with health problems. Even bus own dads value

It also pretends that people who recover make full recoveries when instead a swathe are left with permanent damage. If you get influenza which people like to compare this to, you generally recover 100%. You don't walk away with lungs not much different looking to a miner whose inhaled silica dust for years.

Aaahaha

I do, though you are more than entitled to your views and the stereotypes to which you hold.

I'm not an up-in-arms, flaming, mincing queen who shouts homophobe at the drop if a hat. My drag queen friend's aside, I'm not a great fan of femmeboys or overtly camp people myself.

If you keep any insults or prejudices humorous, I'm more than fine, and would enjoy the banter.  If I can even read your drunken posts, of course.

Last night our report on the Queen contained a shot that should not have been included.

The shot was included as a result of human error.

We were highlighting an approved infusion medication called Sotrovimab and the report accidentally cut to a shot of Stromectol - a product which contains Ivermectin.

As a program we've done numerous stories highlighting the concerns around taking Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.

We did not intend to suggest Dr Mukesh Hawikerwal endorsed Stromectol.

We've apologised to him this morning and he has accepted that apology.

We do not suggest the Queen is using Ivermectin.

OH, I was wondering why people kept saying the Queen was taking Ivermectin! lol

I caught the corone! 

I caught the corone! 

Shit dude, seems to be happening to everyone.

I'm surprised I haven't got it yet. Several kids in my sons class had it. Almost certainly going to get it now the government removed the mask mandate for indoor settings (despite heading into colder weather and recording hundreds of cases a day - keep in mind we wore masks when we detected single digits a day). I'll still be wearing my P2 mask though but where before I could shop in clean air from everyone wearing them, now I'll be walking through clouds of peoples bad breath and spittle. Hope the mask is up to the task. Already seeing muppets walk around without them. Got me some safety glasses too. Might have to wear them but will certainly look like a geek

Let us know how you go. You were smart enough to get vaxxed and boosted so pretty sure you got this. The corone came into your body thinking it could get the jump on your immune system but your antibodies guarding like a bouncer already has their profile and wont let it pass. Kick that shit to the curb!

I'm sure I've caught it 8 days ago (met a friend who tested positive the day after) but I didn't really have any symptoms since. I only had a slightly sore throad for some hours last sunday and today I have a slightly runny nose, but that's it. May very well not be corone related at all.

I tested positive yesterday because I wanted to visit my parents and make sure I'm negative...

Hopefully it stays as a basically non-symptomatic infection for you.

I think I am finally better now.

Oh, I'm glad you're feeling better Gayer!

Good stuff.

Cough is still sticking around but that's normal for me with any virus. But I had a weird reaction last night when I had my first alcoholic drink post-covid so if covid has made me allergic to gin I am going to be really really angry. Or can anyone else explain why my face went red and numb and burny for no apparent reason when I was having a drink of gin?

My mother drinks gin, but I think she's an alcoholic. You already know you are. I'm glad you got better from covid.

I am so relieved to hear that.

I hardly drink at all any more, hangovers got too bad as I got older.
I'm drinking beer tonight though, for distraction, and no weird reactions so at least I'm not allergic to alcohol in general.

Come to America where liquor stores are pouring out their Russian vodka.

That's about all we can boycott. I think the only thing I've ever bought from Russia is vacuum tubes.
