btw., Brazil, huge 1st wave with lots of alleged local 1st wave immunity, they not going to be refusing vaccine.

They are now in a world of pain with the new strain, and begging for the vaccine regulations to be relaxed!

Brazil's problem is the president..an incompetent Muppet who would make Trump look like a Nobel Prize winner.
Think they are using the Chinese Sinovac vaccine and the Indian produced AstraZeneca, not sure I'd be sampling either of those two offerings.....

So Victoria is free to join the real world again and with it is a set of guidlines as to what you can and can't do.

I was browsing through the categories and noticed this one....

Adult entertainment: Brothels and sex on premises venues open, with a density quotient of 1 per 4sqm and a patron cap of
100. Electronic record keeping required. Strip club venues open, with a density quotient of 1 per 4 sqm and no seated service
requirement

Now, i've never partook, but my understanding is following that density quotient kinda defeats the purpose. lol

It was interesting listening to Nobel Laureate Peter Doherty on the wireless today. He is hoping for a very rapid and thorough vaccination program with a focus on health and aged care workers.

My daughter is a frontline health worker and she can't wait to get her jab(s).

I don't think workers are included in the density quotient Krud $:-\$

Anyone else find it odd that the highly infectious virus travels through the air infecting people, somehow gets out into the community only infecting a half a dozen people, even going to somewhere like vic market?

As soon as they said Brunetti at terminal 4 I thought we'd see a good 10 people compromised including a couple interstate travellers

Thats what I expected from a super infectious virus anyway. Maybe I watch too many movies.

Thry, you claimed the same about the quarantine workers friends and family just days before they started testing positive, and now you are back on the same train hours after lockdown, ................. it's like Groundhog Day!

I find it hard to believe the hotel security guard from the tennis quarantine didn't infect anybody.

How does someone get an infection or avoid getting an infection?

Interesting to hear that syringe shortages will ultimately waste vaccine, stuff like this was predicted long ago yet nothing was done about it, it's typical of Federal Bureaucracy. I suppose the Feds will claim it was the States responsibility to supply syringes!

Much of the current delay in getting vaccine is down to the already discussed shortage of suitable glass vials, I'm, not sure where the efforts got in producing a glass or ceramic lined plastic version, but in terms of production it's still the major limiting factor. The two companies with the sand monopoly are making a killing, in more ways than one!

The government is spending $800M on a new facility that is modern and pandemic ready, was in planning well before Covid hit.

Lots of these things are planned but they struggle to get off the ground or complete due to bureaucracy.

We already know researchers were working of SARS coronavirus vaccines back in 2003 - 2005, but it got dropped due to cuts in funding after the previous SARS outbreak subsided. But people would be shocked to realise Drew Weissman and others had been working on mRNA vaccines including one for corona virus since 1997, and nobody took him seriously until Feb 2020.

Not only that, his group and others have mRNA vaccines set for trial for things like Malaria, Japanese Encephalitis, some cancers, Ebola, AIDS, Dengue, etc., etc. but he couldn't get traction. For a couple of reasons, first what they do with Pfizer and Moderna is different from conventional stuff like AstraZeneca so there was fear of change, the old people protecting there old ways. Secondly because the new methods need investment in new factories there is a reluctance to spend when they already have an investment, the old people protecting their old investment. It's a huge problem that comes primarily out of privatising everything.

What are you talking about LP? The facility is being designed as we speak, I'm working on the project!!

I'm discussing how the lack of foresight impacts us all, a general incompetence.

FFS, we discussed some of these very resource issues here on this forum, we aren't omnipotent!

How can it be that a bureaucracy full to the brim of career planners and project managers can purchase more vaccine than they can use before it expires, because they haven't purchased enough syringes to dispense it?

It's not Dan or Scomo's issue, the bureaucrats are welded in place!

When that facility is built and running, then it will be time to crow about forward planning, if it can't be used to make mRNA vaccines it is probably mostly redundant before it even starts!

I read a report last weekend that Thailand which thinks of itself as a 3rd world economy, predicted it would be down the vaccine pecking order and started building it's own mRNA vaccine production facility back in Feb 2020. That is apparently due to open around about now and has enough capacity to supply us as well, so the whispers are we'll just buy the stuff from Thailand, detect a trend?
