Its only regarding inspections of freight at the border, which during covid increased and uncovered more drugs than normal.....No need to blow it out of context. |
If the medical profession were secretly controlling politicians then we’d have bans on things like Tobacco, Alcohol advertising, Trans Fats, junior contact sports etc. |

The "hard border" was only deemed legal for virus control, not at the whim of a premier who likes the idea.

In the meantime, Comrade Chairman is looking to extend his Emergency powers, and the Watermelons are right behind him! :suspect: https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...02-p576zs.html |
An update to my figures above.
I calculated around 82,000 vaccinations were required each day to be on target for October. See by maths above. I just saw on the ABC that their graph showed 198,000 required per day. (It must be true as it was on tv) I guess they are allowing for TWO shots per person, I only allowed for ONE. |

Yes, I think S117 should put an end to that one.

I imagine that chief health officers are counselling that Covid might be the gift that keeps on giving to neo-potentates everywhere. Already you can read worrisome advice that the pace of mutations might result in a mutant strain able to escape* the vaccines.
*(immunologist term. Means what you think it does) The Cassandra-like cautions suggest that we may still end up back at square one dealing with this virus. So nine months worth of scope is either crazy cautious or fetchingly innocent. Someone wake me when its over. |

Coronavirus: a single ‘escape mutant’ shouldn’t render a vaccine useless First vaccine received gets your immune system to create antibodies against SARS-COV-2, which the human body doesn't have unless you've been infected. For next season, probably around the time you usually get a flu vaccine you get a Covid vaccine as well. In time both vaccines may be able to be delivered simultaneously. With mRNA technology we can develop these vaccines targeted towards the expected strains at record speed. It's actually quite exciting to see how the revolution in medical technology will defeat this pandemic. |

It’s strange, isn’t it Dr Dre.
When I talk to my family, they have a reasonable understanding of the virus, the vaccine, and the repercussions. When I talk to my neighbours, they have a reasonable understanding of the virus, the vaccine, and the repercussions. When I go to the shops, or the pub, or a restaurant, they have a reasonable understanding of the virus, the vaccine, and the repercussions. When I go to work, and talk to my fellow pilots, they have a reasonable understanding of the virus, the vaccine, and the repercussions. But when I look at PPRuNe, all I see is crap like this: yes that deadly Spanish flu really dragged on compared to this one, it also came back again and again, if only modern technology was around to shave a few months off 100 years ago. We have come so far. |
Haha, if you truly believe this pandemic has been controlled by governments and modern medical science that’s a matter for you. Dan Andrew’s thanks you for your vote.

I understand people,who vote for borders to be open. But if you are a freelancer working with employee monitoring software installed, you can work even at home. I'm talking about IT now

Howard Springs.
Seems Howard Springs is the solution. 2000 people a fortnight. How is QF going to have enough planes and crews to do it??

2000 people a fortnight is good news, so does it mean it ramps up to a rolling 2000 people in the facility? 172 in at a time on the 787. Great news for the domestic airlines as most also need a domestic flight on release.
International travel ain’t gunna open up until no quarantine on arrival, can’t see it happening this year. To the original topic... ALL DOMESTIC BORDERS SHOULD BE OPEN NOW AND STAY OPEN. |
