Pcr testing in NSW is taking up to six days.

"I thought they were all double jabbed"

Double vaccination doesn't offer complete protection against contracting COVID. In today's (28/12) SA numbers, ~80% of positive cases were vaccinated (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-28/south-australia-records-995-new-covid-cases/100728192). That compares with ~91% of the 12+ population having had at least one shot of vaccine (https://covidlive.com.au/sa).

So chance of contracting COVID if you're vaccinated would be about half that for unvaccinated folks, based on those numbers.

This is my back of the envelope analysis of the published numbers, not a controlled observational study. e.g., there are probably different age profiles for vaccinated and unvaccinated folks, lower likelihood of a vaccinated person with COVID being detected because the symptoms are usually lesser for them than unvaccinated folks (leading to less likelihood of being tested), etc.

"These experts said you wouldn't catch covid if you got jabbed. I guess they lied."

I never heard anyone qualified who claimed that. Would like you to back up that bullshit statement with even one credible source who claims that.

DR Koberulesnothing back again.

Omicron is much more mild though KR, so the stats look daunting, but the severity is not as bad.

WA have had their chance to see from the outside. Their lack of education on how to manage with a virus is on them, and their problem. The jury's isn’t out, it’s milder, it’s not ideal, but it’s no delta. We’re all going to get it, but it’s not going to cause the same level of issues as delta would’ve.

To many punters on here that no more than the experts, I for am hoping I never get it. The country has been leaderless at a federal level since this started and it's a total shit fight when we could have, should have been all triple vaccinated and out of the woods by now.

kr: vaccines don't do anything against omicron
also kr: because of omicron WA should insist on triple vax before letting people in
hard to argue with logic like that!

I'm not the one posting "vaccines are doing fuck all against omicron"
those are your words. there is one moron spreading deadly misinformation and its not me.

Is koberulz at teacher by profession? He/she/they are good at reading and espousing opinions, but their scientific knowledge is equivalent to an anti-vaxxer.

Dr KR said "Two seconds on Google could have prevented you looking like a total moron."

No you did that in 1 sec when you post crap like that. Idiot.

New 6ers CEO already gawn, with Nick Marvin angling for role again.

"Yes? A low brick wall won't stop people stepping/jumping over it, a high brick wall will. Same bricks, just more of them."

Another way is to think of it like practising foul shooting. Practising twice a week instead of once won't guarantee you never miss a foul shot in a game, but it's less likely you'll miss.

CEO already departed! Pushed, or another one walked?
