[Smokin Joe]

neither, walk around constantly laughing and smiling at the world, don't remember the last time I felt bored. I live too full a life and don't have the time to need to find something to do

I prefer to shake my fist at clouds in the sky that I find bothersome.....

I'm more concerned with the fact my fishing buddy pulled out for Saturday and I'm now doing a dangerous and dodgy bushwalk off trail alone just to get some bass.

You could always go after a Flathead instead. Freshwater fishing is overrated.

Flathead are like catching wet socks.
Caught a 56cm one last week it doesn't even rate a mention compare to even a small Aussie Bass.

Love bass fishing, on a 41cm PB and just been pipped by my nephew last week on a 43cm. Bass fishing comp for the family runs until March so I want to try and get a 45 to put it to bed.

The comp then switches to bream

I am teaching my 2 year old to ride an electric quad bike whilst trying to convince my wife it isn't life threatening,we all have full lives in our own way.

Here's the thing ... I know for instance that it is possible for sub- atomic particles, such as electrons to be in two places at the same time .. I know this because I read it in a Quantum Mechanics text book .. and have seen the experiment proving it ..

So, I know that piece of information ... but what is really important is that although I know it .. I have got absolutely NO understanding of it .. none, nada, zilch ..

And it is like people pulling up different bits of information from the web, such as 79,000 cases of adverse effects .. it is nice to know ... but to understand what that bit of information means and the real significance of it would require a fair amount of further investigation and data ...

There are to many people with little or isolated bits of information .. and as the old adage predicts .. a little information is dangerous ..

Just a little Covid update of my own.

So was last Thurs I had a positive RAT. Felt fine at the time, started feeling a little fatigued that evening and that continued the next few days with some muscle aches thrown in.

On Sunday started getting a sore throat. Monday my throat was a sore as it has ever been.

As of today, still a milder sore throat and a bit lethargic.

Didn't return to work yesterday or today but hopefulful to sign in tomorrow.

Overall I wouldnt say it have been horrific or I've experienced significant illness but it has been unpleasent and draining.

Don't reccomend.

Hope you're feeling better soon Disco. I've read that you can feel much better on Day 6 and then have a bit of a mini plummet on day 7. Not saying this to alarm just letting you know what I've read. Hope it's all up from here!

Our Queensland CHO officer reckons everyone is going to get it within the next 4-6 weeks.

Bold prediction, but maybe right.

I reckon that's the government's aim now they know the Omicrom variant isnt as deadly & given our vaxx status.

Just got my test results back

74 % of ppl in NSW hospital with Covid have Delta strain.

74 % of ppl in NSW hospital with Covid have Delta strain.

I wonder what % are unvaccinated?

 

[manlyfan76]

I wonder what % are unvaccinated?

I think it's huge %
Over 90% of those in ICU

Where did you purchase the test from @Woodsie ? A lot of them have been throwing off incorrect readings, but that brand appears to be working very well.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Just got my test results back

That looks like Mr (James Franciscus) Novak* Jockobitch’s result.

*Some 1960s TV cultural awareness will help here.

I wonder what % are unvaccinated?

Six of the eight deaths yesterday were either double or triple vaccinated. All four deaths the day before were all double or triple vaccinated. No news outlet has reported on the vaccination status of the six deaths today - which leads me to believe they are likely to have been vaccinated as the media are quick to jump over any unvaccinated person entering hospital etc.

Where are you finding that data?

Over 70% of deaths from June to Dec 21st in NSW were unvacinated so your numbers would represent quite a turnaround
