Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[BlueTX]

So I found out Tuesday evening I had been exposed to someone who tested positive for the virus. Took my test Wednesday morning, still waiting for the result. No symptoms but the wait is troubling.

My insurance provider required a referral from a doctor to have the cost for a test covered. Fee for the referral which took less than 5 minutes? $50.

If the majority of the country don't take the vaccine, there will be no way out of this.

Never mind posting in current affairs.

We want updates on the Coasters.

Apparantly death is the alternative.

I mean if someone who refuses the vaccine then dies of said virus that would have otherwise protected them, should we really care about them?

It's not selling magic beans, it's a case of have this vaccine to protect you from a potentially deadly virus, no? Well sod you then.

Like anybody cares about the people who don't take the vaccine.

They can leak whatever they want.
I ( and my family ) will be doing the very same we've been doing since March.

So pointless to go through months & months of this but then just throw it all away when there's a clear end to this.

I want many many more Christmas's not just this one.

Was always going to happen. Too much money to be made.

Especially when it looks like most of the front line health workers and vulnerable will be vaccinated within a month after.

A few days of mass mixing will cause avoidable deaths.

The public won’t have Christmas being banned, so what’s the alternative ? Not just in this country by the way.

A different Christmas? A quieter, more reflective one?

I know my Dad is pretty pleased my Mum isnt fretting about seeing various kids and Grandchildren over the festive period, as per normal. He quietly pointed out that she can do all that at Easter instead.

Mate that says the ones who can't have the vaccine have no immune system!

If you can't have the vaccine then there is deeper issues with your health than covid.
