Real time wait-times for COVID testing would be handy for all those South Australians driving around trying to test today @SAHealth@marshall_steven FYI anyone heading to Tailem Bend to test...its at capacity as of 10.15am and turning people away #sahealth
Imagine being a perfectly healthy person spending Christmas Day lining up for hours to take a test that can't find the symptoms you don't have for the disease you're not sick with.
This is what mental illness fed a steady diet of fear porn looks like.
How embarrassing.
This is the line up for a test at Adelaide Airport. Already had to wait more than an hour in Melbourne to prove I was not infected before I arrived. The process of proving I don’t have Covid will take longer than the flight here. “Open” borders for a quasi-opened state.
Good morning media! A viral neutralisation assay is not the same as real world vaccine effectiveness. This is a milder variant, vaccines will still work, no need to report separate #omicron numbers, and let’s look forward to a restriction free Christmas! #covid19aus#auspol
Perhaps @SAHealth@marshall_steven can answer that question too as SA re-introduced 14 days quarantine for fully vaccinated international arrivals last week? Why are all COVID cases still going into medi-hotels in SA? Is SA really living with COVID?#followtheroadmap#sahealth
What’s the evidence base for 14 days quarantine for pre-tested, fully vaccinated, non-contact entrants to Qld, @AnnastaciaMP? Medical I mean, not from the Wagner institute of property development. #strandedAussies#loveisnottourism & #internationalstudentsAustralia want to know
Dear South Australia,
Living with Covid means living with Covid, not just saying you’re living with Covid but then freaking out and locking down or closing borders and pretending it’s 2020 forever because you found a Covid.
Hope that helps.
Hugs and kisses,
Us 🇦🇺
QLD and Tas have set dates or targets to reopen their borders. Vic and NSW are easing border rules with each other and are both resuming international travel.
Meanwhile, SA has no date or target - just an “intention” to open for Christmas.
What’s stopping you, @marshall_steven?
