My eldest is getting her first jab today.
I get my 2nd on the 30th. As does my wife

Good on you. :)

Had my 2nd yesterday morning. 

I'd recommend taking the day after off. 

it varies for all the after effects.
I was fine as are others whereas my wife just the other day a week after he 2nd pfizer she lay on the couch feeling crap and slight fever.

Anyway good stuff seeing people getting on with jabs.

I'm still on work cover so I'll be at home before I have to get it

I had the chills big time last night, like a had the flu.   Starting to feel a bit better now.

yer 2nd son suffered like that for 2bloody days, like he had a massive flu/temps/chills....2nd shot no worries.

My chest is really tight a week after my first visfer. Dr says blood test and ecg are normal 

That sucks mate. If you've had the appropriate tests done to check that your heart's OK then it it may just be anxiety. 

I'm an incredibly anxious person and the bizarre symptoms my body has thrown at me over the years are endless, including chest pain/tightness.

Thanks mate

Thugs.

I don't know what this will achieve really...

Most people are disgusted by this behaviour, thus marginalising their narrative further.  

Italy making the move to make vaccines mandatory for vast majority of Italian workers. President Draghi even mulling the idea of making the vaccine mandatory for all citizens. Pretty amazing for a country that used to be quite anti-vax

Our vaccination rates have been higher than I expected and high rates in nsw and vic will get oz as a whole across 80% overall but I see WA and QLD lagging quite a long way behind and I doubt NT will ever get there. I definitely see quite hardcore vaccine mandates as hospitals get strained and people get the shots with unvaccinated people stopping us getting back to normal.

Herald sun reporting that most restrictions won’t end till vic hits 80% and even then it’s quite restrictive 
schools gradually going bsvk at 70% for all you parents out there

Yeah behind a paywall.  It's speculation . Still remember they got one wrong and they wouldn't admit it. 

Which one did they get wrong? There’s been so many roadmaps I’ve honestly lost track 

5,000 other people waiting on ABC's youtube stream for Dan's presser, even though it's not starting for a while and is far from the only place it can be seen.

Victoria's roadmap: https://twitter.com/DanielAndrewsMP/status/1439418426850570244

Lockdown ends in Melbourne at 70% double dosed, predicted for 26 October. It's good to have some certainty, now we can all focus on getting ourselves vaccinated and convincing anyone we know on the fence and get us out of this asap.

ABC is reporting that Victoria will be 70% double dosed by 18 November. Need to pick up the rate.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-02/charting-australias-covid-vaccine-rollout/13197518

Covidlive.com.au has 19 November for 70% double dose. It also says we hit 70% first dose on 17 September, that date plus six weeks is 29 October, so hopefully it's more like that. https://covidlive.com.au/vic

The Guardian's vaccine tracker projects 31 Oct - 8 Nov for 70% double dose. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/datablog/ng-interactive/2021/sep/17/covid-19-vaccine-rollout-australia-vaccination-rate-progress-how-many-people-vaccinated-percent-tracker-australian-states-number-total-daily-live-data-stats-updates-news-schedule-tracking-chart-percentage-new-cases-today

They got this one mostly wrong too. I'm happy to admit that. Roadmap was more hopeful than I expected. Projections of 68% chance of 2500 hospitalisations mid December is scary. But Andrews seems to have ignored Sutton and is all in just like Gladys.

Personally I was planning on leaving Victoria mid October for NSW but now I'll stay a bit longer

He didn't ignore Sutton.  He gave everyone of the journos the full unredacted Burnett report which is what is from the national cabinet. 

I know, I read it and I just think the prospect of that many cases and deaths as projected would have Sutton locking down for longer.
And this article backs up my theory. Sutton wanted to keep schools closed longer but Merlino and other Vic cabinet ministers overruled him:

Thats because you have lowered your expectations

It was said today that 80% double vaxx for everybody over 12 is the end. Its done. We're open. No more. But then also only 30 allowed in the house at Christmas (in the last step). Second last step of 500 outdoors (what does that mean for sport), no rights for the unvaccinated, and the pet favorite of health officials face masks will be all indoor settings - but no indication these restrictions will end in the final step given the cap of 30

Is that life for the next 3-5 years? 10 years? Is that us as a species from here on out?

NSW is going to leave Victoria for dead in terms of quality of life, not just over the next 2 or 3 months, but also into next year. Life in Victoria is going to be worse than what we were given November last year with 0% vaccinated. In terms of ongoing and long lasting restrictions these are the worst we have seen

As I said, I'm glad our election is next November because 4 years of whatever the alternative is wont be as bad as 4 years of hiding from COVID

got my letter yesterday for the 3rd jab, will get it as i am old after all it will be you younguns that will do the fighting when it comes

😆😆 Man you're descent Into conspiracy theories has been gradual. I didn't notice

It's quite an achievement when a Craig Kelly UAP ad isn't the most dishonest and pernicious garbage on the page.
