I didn't have any real reaction to the first one so I should be fine.

I'm more concerned about the level of effectiveness and what that means for me.

Early indications were that about 50% of people with blood cancers were non-responders and produced no antibodies. I'm hoping my haematologist will have up to date information on that when I see her in a couple of weeks.

I hadn't listened to the song for decades (my dad used to listen to those "Dizzy Ditties" LPs with wacky songs like this when I was a kid) so I remembered it being pretty bad but I wasn't sure how bad, so I went back and listened to it yesterday and it's real real bad. Real goddamn minstrel stuff.

35 new cases. 24 were already in isolation, which leaves a worrying number who weren't.

Yep we aren't coming out of lockdown this week.

Let me rephrase that. We shouldn't come out of lockdown this week. Glad bag will try even though this is not under control.

At the shops today about half the people were not wearing masks.

NSW Health says 33 linked, out of 35.

Shops yesterday briefly here, only saw two people without masks, near the carparks.

Looking out my window I see almost empty streets and masks everywhere. It's easy to be down about this situation but it's not like everyone is out there mouth-spitting. The vast majority of people are avoiding crowds, wearing masks in shops and following the suggestions. Retail, pubs. restaurants all being scaled back will already be making a big difference.

Sydney exceptionalism is a hell of a drug.

Meanwhile Queensland is still chasing up a leak from 3 weeks ago. It's the alpha strain, you know, nothing to worry about. Just the one that tore through the UK last winter.

There were plenty of media photos of people out and about yesterday. Even if they wear masks, they are still ignoring the lockdown order.

Mrs Spergo and I had to run up to Liverpool yesterday to do some shopping that we couldn't do locally to the shire (Udaya indian grocer) and the amount of people dicknosing (i.e. their nose out of the mask) or with it under their chin

I saw one lady with a "clear mask" that would've done absolutely gently caress all too

Made sure to give a bunch of people the evil eye for dicknosing. Sydney deserves an extended lockdown and they should jackhammer down the line running along the coastal suburbs and float the cunts out to sea

GPs regularly visit aged care facilities. The care facilities could have organised their patients' GPs to vaccinate them.

Likewise, when it became apparent that the reach in teams weren't going to vaccinate staff, management could have helped staff organise vaccination. I very much doubt that all of the unvaccinated staff are anti-vaxxers. It wouldn't surprise me if they're casuals worried about being unable to work if the vaccination kicks their rear end, though.

After what happened in aged care facilities last year, there is no excuse for this.

Out of curiosity I logged into myGov afterwards and the only things I have on there are Covid, and the last two years of flu vax, because those were administered in a pharmacy.

Leunig has been anti-compulsory-vaccine pro-"choice" (anti-vax) for years and his opinions about the covid vaccines and the covid restrictions are real lovely



(These are all items that native peoples accepted when they were tricked into signing treaties and gave away all their rights and freedoms)

This year is the first year it's been compulsory for flu vaccinations to be reported to the Australian Immunisation Register. All that shows for me is this year's flu vaccination and my two covid vaccinations, despite my having flu vaccinations for the last five years, ADT in 2018, and pneumovax last year.

You can ask your doctor to submit information regarding any vaccines they've given you to the AIR, though.
