Test OR vaccine. That'll stop them spreading any new variant

Yet here in Australia they said...

Australia will not immediately follow countries such as the United States, Italy and Japan which have moved to require travellers from China to produce a negative Covid test to enter.

The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, on Thursday backed health advice that said Australia has built up immunity to the variant ravaging China, but he did not rule out travel restrictions in future.

Sounds fair, what's the point discriminating for a variant you've already got? (And for that matter, every other traveller could have)

The COVID-19 is difficult to contain due to its high transmissibility rate and a long incubation period of 5 to 14 days. Moreover, more than half of the infected patients were young and asymptomatic. Virus transmission through asymptomatic patients is a major challenge to disease containment...

Feel like I've had a constant cough and/or bunged/runny nose since the middle of November. Not testing positive for Covid or anything, but boy is it a pain in the backside.

More lube required in future.

After two years, or however long it has been, Covid finally got me. Had a few days when I could not get out of bed but getting over it now but still testing positive

Seems to be the usual nutters getting excited thinking that mRNA alters DNA. Full power cranks all over the show.

My wife and her Mother are the same, both seem to have spent the whole of December with various illnesses.

I suppose it was inevitable to an extent, but I can't recall ever having a cough last this long.
