Very hard to say what is fact or fiction since I had an email from one company I purchased from stating their supply of Rat kits (saliva type) were diverted by the feds but the company still insisted delivery arrival dates should not be effected as they were sourcing more stock.

Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan is set to hold a media conference on Thursday night, "providing an important update".

The press conference is set to begin at 7.30pm (10.30pm AEDT).

An emergency news conference has been called and it's understood WA's long-awaited border reopening will be delayed.

The Premier's suspected February 5 backflip comes after growing pressure from doctors and nurses over the Omicron threat.

It was never going to happen?...West Aussies are happy in their cotton wool cocoon, they have become complacent, and most do not understand politics, Mark McGowan does, he listens to the mugs who keep him in power, he has Clive Palmer's new political party knocking on the door, he is just keeping his spot as number one Labour Premier of Australia........

Here's hoping that the downward trend is genuine because part of me is thinking is it could be people just can't be ****ed getting tested these days

If we can overlay testing numbers vs cases it might clear that up a bit.

Dident Russell or another member do that earlier in the thread?
The overlay I mean.

[russellw]

Nationally, test numbers are about 80k/day down on the late December peak but DIY RAT tests are probably more than making up the gap so I think case numbers are starting to fall although hospitalisation numbers are still high.

Well two FIFO workers here in WA tested positive at Perth airport on Thursday, it was pick up using Rapid Antigen Testing, they were on the way to the Pilbara, lucky they dident get there, Perth has a 140 reported exposure sites, and the South West has 30 sites!

CHO Andy Robertson is of the opinion the autumn is the best time to reopen our border, he said the added protection of booster shots would start to wane from the end of March!
He said the elderly and healthcare workers who were the first to get booster shot would be affected first.

In Perth on Saturday in 40°C heat, 5000 antivaxxers gathered with various placards, the one below caught my eye!...

Let's see them happily line up for that same experimental dose when it comes time to treat their cancer.

An apprentice at work whose mother is/has undergone breast cancer treatment will not get the Covid vaccine yet the cancer treatment has saved her life (so far). The dad has refused to as well. As a consequence they both lost their jobs then their house as they couldn’t make mortgage payments.

Looks like skiing on the French alps is off the cards....


Australian travellers may be locked out of Europe as Omicron surges
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/fede...23-p59qhy.html

Australians hoping to book a holiday in Europe may be locked out, after the European Council advised member states to block visitors from Australia, which it singled out as a “COVID danger zone” due to surging Omicron case numbers.

The directive, which applies regardless of vaccination status, means that people wanting to undertake non-essential travel to Europe from Australia could face restrictions ranging from a total ban on entry to having to quarantine or face extra testing requirements.

So, as they are huddling together in their box under the bridge they will both be happy in knowing how 'they showed everyone'...

It reminds me of every article where pompous / arrogant anti vaxers are lying on their death beds all begging for the vaccination with their last breaths.

Fools, blind leading the blind, this is very hard to get my head around, the chemicals used tho treat cancer ( chemotherapy) are a 100 times more detrimental to your overall health than a " killed vaccine "

Silly people, I just don't get it, I really dont

But at least they have a choice. They're not forced to ''line up'' or take it. I'm all in favour of the right to try.

Why would a healthy person take these 3 jabs? Maybe if they're some dip *&^& who's only information source is from MSM.

It was from my Weekend West newspaper, the photo I put up was separate from the main group, probably because it was witty!
The main photo and story itself was definitely Forest Chase in Perth, and it was as many as they said, just a sea of faces carrying placards!
WA is not like the rest of Australia, it's a wierd place to live, like Texas USA, WA is a separate entity, and its Health System is overloaded and overpriced, its ****ed

My best friend has it and i got tested yesterday... Im feeling better today but i wont recieve the result till tomorrow or tues ?

[smoo]

Comical, the narrative around forced vaccine/mandates is crumbling by the day but anyone pointing it out is a CTist. One thing Covid has shown is the so called CTist are proven to be correct 6 months down the track.

[T3rminator]

Doesn't seem like a very good comparison (to cancer) IMHO. One is about people who have terminal illness. The other is about putting something into perfectly healthy people.

Whilst all the focus is on the crazy nutty 5g, bill gates, Qanon type anti vaxers, there are also a lot of very intelligent people who are merely concerned and have some hesitancy....or simply just against mandates. We are now being asked to take 3...and possibly 4...jabs in the space of what? 6 months? Even the WHO has said mandates should only be a last resort. What happened to listening to health experts?

One of the advantages of mRNA technology is that it can be quickly tweaked for new variants. At some stage, people will need to ask themselves how many jabs they are willing to take.
