If you could just add a bit of flour and milk to your diet, you could use your butter, salt and low-carb vegetables to make pumpkin scones. Go on, live dangerously.

My Grand Father died of heart failure at the age of 42, I'm 43. So If we ever meet I got one year on him.

Nanna raised 11 children on her own, beat that.

And I'd rather die of a heart attack as opposed to have my ***-hole rot-out over a 12 month period.

I made one comment and pretty much the entire page is attacking me - boo hoo.

The hole page is in question.

It's no coincidence that all the pro-Andrews, pro vaccine, anti-Trump lefties frequent the Anxiety and depression thread.

Being well old enough to remember Lady Flo’s pumpkin scones, I had a great laugh at Trendseeker’s suggestion.

Aside from that… Why has so little airtime been given - comparatively - to the possible vaccine related death of a Queenslander injected with the “safer” Pfizer vaccine? It puzzles me. I’m not suggesting anything other than perhaps media fatigue, but remain confused.

Aside from that, oh my, another suggestion of our government changing up its plans yet again and reported data that shows vaccination rates are down by a third on their already low-aiming trajectory. Plus the much-heralded “great leaps forward” that are yet to bear fruit; using the Army and establishment of mass vaccination hubs.

It’s becoming the not-unexpected political circus of statements and policy shifts, rather than achievements. My original ideas of taking all comers, offering each injection with a couple of drinks and a lottery ticket/JB gift card/tattoo voucher, might have actually been both cheaper and much faster. What’s happening is shaming our leadership and - by dint of us as electors - highlighting our inability to find better governance of any stripe. It’s also continuing to prejudice our much sought “return to the world”.

That is a terrible attempt at deflection there buddy. We know you frequent that thread, it is nothing to be ashamed of. I know of at least one person who has gotten over their demons, whilst still managing to enjoy delicious KFC wicked wings, chips and gravy, nachos with extra melted cheese. The irony of preaching "clean" living and Trump loving is not lost

And to keep it on topic. It's dear supreme leader Dan to you. And his team has just injected $50m into a Melb facility that could "soon" start producing mRNA vaccines. Bravo!

Experts eye Melbourne-made mRNA vaccines in a year after $50m injection

The maths don't add up. It seems supply in Australia is not the primary issue, its getting supplies to the states and into the arms of people. I really hate referencing news.com.au , there was another similar article on ABC but I can't find it now.

I'd guess it's because the guy has a history of clotting, and there's also no mention of it being that specific type of clot near the brain.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT April 21st, 2021.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting.

15 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.077%.

2 new case and 0 deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.000% and active cases 83.

The UK had a lower 2,396 cases yesterday and 20 deaths.

Just under 61k new cases in the USA yesterday and 881 deaths sees CMR at 1.790%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
Global cases pass 144M, the last 1M in 1 day;
Global cases set a new daily high of 873,079;
Asia sets a new daily high of 473,024 cases;
Asia passes 45M cases;
India sets a new record for daily cases (315,802), surpassing the 297,357 recorded by the USA back in January;

Guyana (160);
Cabo Verde (398);
Iraq (8,696); and
India (315,802)

... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Costa Rica and Nepal move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average while Hungary and Libya drop below.

All power to you Coupeking, we're all different Thankfully.

My overall take of late is watching and reading the Feds do everything wrong in the big picture.......I sure am not saying they are doing brilliant but considering the bumbling position we are in compared to most of the Globe we are living the new dream people offshore wish for.
Yet all there is is whinge whinge whinge.
What are all the, hold on only pfizer pref jabbers gonna do now me wonder.

Your not the only one who gets attacked as you put it for posting ridiculous statements.
Anti trump= yes I am
Leftie= no I'm not.
Pro Vaccine= yes I am so I will give you 2 out of 3 calling me out and I will bet any amount of money in about 20 years you will be pro vaccine person when your body yearns for it; that is if you live long enough.

Pfizer won't be offered to <50 at all now with few exceptions. Part of the phase 2A will be brought forward for >50 using AZ from May. Pretty predictable.

"Professor Murphy said that fact, combined with the new advice, meant Pfizer supplies had to be strictly controlled to ensure they reached the targeted recipients.

Given Australia has greater access to AstraZeneca shots, Professor Murphy said Pfizer supplies had to be strictly controlled to ensure they reached targeted recipients.

"With a few exceptions, Pfizer is now restricted to those under 50," he said."

Six Victorians identified as close contacts of suspected NSW hotel quarantine COVID transmission

https://www.theage.com.au/national/s...22-p57lk9.html

Just in time for ANZAC day 6 sounds like a very small number for close contacts. Decision to keep numbers down for the march doesn't look that unreasonable after all.

I think you've misinterpreted it. Pfizer is restricted to those under 50... as in... pfizer will only be given to those under 50, with few exceptions. Not that pfizer is restricted even to those under 50.
To be fair they did word it poorly, but I'm pretty sure they mean to say that pfizer is limited to people under 50 and not over 50.

WA (Perth and Peel) in lockdown for 3 days from midnight tonight. The Victorian man, who had completed 14 days quarantine in Perth, was in the Perth community for five days while possibly infectious.

Is VIC next??

So if my maths is right, 14 +5+1.. that's 20 days after entering Australia that this individual has tested positive.

I've said it before, 14 days quarantine is not enough.

21 is where some asian countries have gone to, but not many.

Thank you WA for doing the right thing, taking the 3 day hit, to hopefully stop further spread.

Will Vic follow? I think that will large depend on where he has been, and who his close contacts are, and whether they test positive in the next couple of days.

Interestingly, just this afternoon the ABC was reporting that there had be a 70-80% cancellation on vaccination appointments from front line workers.

I don't know who they were interviewing, but the other person said we needed an outbreak to change that attitude.

257 passengers were on the flight man was on from Perth to Melbourne on April 21. All have been contacted (today), asked to get tested and isolate. How many will actually listen to the request though? It's not being policed.

If they came into contact with the man on April 21, wouldn't it take several days to become infected, and be infectious? Getting a negative result 2-3 days after contact doesn't mean you will not be positive and/or infectious at a later date.
