I agree. Also some links are to certain newspapers etc that you needs to subscribe to to read so a summary would be helpful so other know what it's about.

I entered and so did some others I told but we were already all vax'd ages ago so it's just a bonus if we win anything. It's actually over 4 million. 1 million is the major prize at the end but lots of smaller ones before then every day I believe. I do hope it helps to get more vaccinations. It's not good enough here if we…

I agree but it'll never happen. They are not use to any technology at all and we are thousands of Km's away so can't help anyway. Wonderful you MIL is doing great, so is mine.

No problem.. go on.

Guess what. Not all of us are American for one. I know many without smart phones especially older people and for one my parents wouldn't even think about using a computer at a library since they never used one in their whole lives. They have phones but would never use the internet etc on it. Just because you can doesn't…

Guessing they have nothing better to do or aren't good people. Not sure.

Madness. Stay safe Gale.

This also happens when some put up articles from newspapers on here and I can't read them since I don't subscribe to them like they do.

Great news here in North QLD. Our 3 day lockdown is over tonight! The young lady that brought Delta Covid here on holidays apparently didn't spread it around which I find hard to believe but happy about it. Wish we could put up a gate to keep the riff raff out till we are vax'd.

In my region in North Queensland we are now in lockdown as a young lady with the Delta version flew here from Brisbane. We are only allowed to leave the house for essential reasons until Friday when they will *kitten* how things are going and see if it needs to go longer.

Totally agree. What a jerk he is. You have every right to wear whatever you want. Sounds like a control freak.

Australia is actually 20ml and USA 15ml which is why the calories are more with Aussie measurements. Calorieking is correct.

We just flew into Brisbane airport last week and today there it says one of the shops is an exposure site. Just missed it by a few days!

Fair enough. I maybe don't get it since we didn't need to do the mask etc for more than two weeks. Anyway everyone should do what they feel safe with I guess.

I'm so not reading this and I'm so not using it ever again. Over that crap. I do love the boys I got though so that was nice way back then.

That is us also. I'm happy to have anything even with us not having any community Covid in our city so far. I love to travel so the quicker we sort this the better. At least I can fly to New Zealand and just went interstate but was half an hour from a Covid person! OMG.

That is fine but I would'nt trust it too much but you do as you wish of course. If I lived there I wouldn't trust it all and keep cautious for a while longer. Take care. Do what you feel you need to do. I can't see being cautious a bad thing.

Yes I wonder what is going to happen now in Australia. Husband and I got our first AZ a few weeks ago. Not dead yet from a clot so guess going ok and always wanted Pfizzer shot. I still feel better we had something rather than nothing at all. Our government is crap with this roll out. Ashamed actually.

Why are you ditching the mask so soon? I wouldn't be if I lived there. You are still at risk of catching it and it's just a mask. Keep as safe as you can if in crowded places with others close to you. Just my thoughts on it unless it makes you feel unwell when using it then why not stay as say as possible for a little…

Totally agree. Just a sore arm as can happen with any vax. Yes I had a panic attack too lol. It was nothing.

Wonderful they got tested. Wish here they had to. Crossing fingers your numbers don't rise much at all. We are all over this even us and not had to deal with what you all are. They are bringing back Australians stuck in India now. I hope this goes well for everyone. It must have been heart breaking to see what is going on…

No testing will be done to the almost 30,000 people before or after the event fuzzipeg unless a individual has symptoms and goes to a testing site. I really doubt they'll even take temperatures of anyone. Also even 5 is 5 too many for us when we have had zero.

We have a big football game on here this weekend with almost 30,000 people attending. There is no mask requirement here right now since we've had zero community transmission so far but this is not a great idea. People will come from other towns or from other states and might bring Covid here. Australia is dismally behind…

I just didn't ever really noticed people in certain areas voting for one or another but guess you are right. I think people in more poorer areas vote labour here perhaps?

Hmm.. odd. I don't think we have areas like that here. You just vote for who you prefer. Oh and my no pain vaccine shot was not so perfect. About 5 hours later is got more sore and even worse later but I don't take pain killers and all gone today. Good since we are flying south soon so happy we have one jab at least.

What is a red state? I'm not American.

From some one that has no Covid here I'm still wondering why it's a problem to wear masks, get your vaccination and stay away from others as much as you can till this is all better. Guess I don't get it but that is what I was doing when we had a close call. Do the right things and you'll be safe. I did it all too when…

OMG I don't know what to think. This is so horrible. Big hugs to you all there.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with someone like that. Just remember they can't help it. They are dumb. stupid and can't help being that way.

Sorry but I don't know too much about the issue of getting the virus since we don't have it here in my region of North Queensland. Why are you not wearing a mask if not required? There is still a lot of people there with the virus and even if you are vaccinated you can get it. Sorry just trying to get my head around it…
