Hello all. May I suggest that any covid discussion on the GN forum has run its course? The fors and againsts have been discussed ad infinitum and all that we have left is the circular roundabout which, as its name implies, goes nowhere except, in some cases, to elicit a slanging match. Time to give it away folks?
I can't help but think that any further posts on this subject would come under the heading of pointless, unless they are intended as a "stir"?
As he who dwells in the aluminium tepee once said,
Just sayin........

if people were not interested in commenting and expressing their views, the subject would have died a natural death and fade into history like so many other subjects. if you think the subject "covid" or any other subject for that matter has run its course just don't post, it will go any . if posters take it to a personal level ,the moderators , will deal with the posters involved and /or the subject if inappropriate
The covid situation dominates every news bulletin broadcast and newspaper and has for 18 months, a large proportion of the country is under virtual house arrest, state borders are closed, people are trapped away from their loved ones for months, very few are permitted to either enter or leave the country, cases of C19 are increasing at a serious rate, hospitals and intensive care units are filling, people are dying in their homes, 4,600,000 people have died from it worldwide... and you would like to drop discussion of it!?
Are you *serious*?

The answer is simple. You don't want to read anything about it, don't. If a post mentions anything about it, stop reading and close it. If it is all to much for you to handle, go away. Your problem is solved. Why should others have to stop posting reasonable comments just to please you. No use complaining about others, change yourself.

How about this Magnarc. Joe has nothing to sell and doesn't want to buy anything, close items for sale. Bob doesn't take photo's and doesn't care to see anyone else's, close sharing photos. Mary is sick of cooking, close what's cooking. Heath and wellbeing will surely have something about covid there, close it. Free and budget campsites, stop being such a tight arse, use caravan parks, close it. Murry is a miserable sod, doesn't like a joke close jokes. What you like is not what I like (your original post), close recommendations. Tom hates pets, doesn't like your dog peeing on his annexe poles, close travelling with pets and leave them at home. Simon loves rough roads, what he calls good is not your good, close road conditions. Think you got the drift. Every post on every subject will have someone complain about it. Forget post on covid. Let's all complain about what we don't like. Think we will want covid back quick smart.

Disagree.All this Covid spit is boring.While we continue to have millions of people unwilling to take their Covid shots,aided and abetted by the press scaring the living spit out of those who cannot think logically for themselves, (Derrr) we will continue to have differences of 'opinion',and thus conflict.Cheers

Covid you can catch it everywhere, that is negative or positive comments, even today on facebook a feed from ABC Perth about Crown Casio will require all staff and patrons to be Covid vaccinated, the comments were not much different to here or anywherelse.
You can choose to read it, ignore it or delete it and in the case of social media you can block it.
What I find most interesting comming out of Perth from the ABC facebook news feeds, there is fervour about keeping the border closed at a ratio of 2 to 1 for, whilst it seems to run at about 3 to 1 in support for compolsary vaccinations, which is not as high, I expected it to be much higher than that.
What do you think the cost to business would be if they enforced the no jab, no job, no entry as part of their OHAS protection of staff and customers during this pandemic?
My previous business' OHS requirements were to have some mandatory injections to guard against various potential infections. These were notionally across all businesses of its type. All site workers were accepting of those requirements or else could not work of the sites. I heard that there was no objection to compliance. Generally compared to the risks from those injections, there are higher risks from the infections or much higher risks from other site work and the business activity. Of course, as most of us should know, travelling to and from work is pretty hazardous too.

the last time i travelled overseas i had to get vaccines for different countries can't remember if it was compulsory but when i first started to travel some vaccines where compulsory for some countries. most countries didn't require a visa either ,just front up with passport, the only place i can recall having to apply for entry visa was East Germany thru Russian check point. how times have changed
it is mandatory that we have licenses, permits, qualifications to do certain types of work on the job site/place of business ect, if the risk of disease is a hazard then precautions(vaccines?) should be mandatory same as PPE

Well, someone may be sick of it, but here in Albury, we go back into lockdown from 6pm tonight. 2 cases imported from somewhere, had to happen I guess. Yes I am sick of bloody covid, but now actually here for the first time in 18 months.
Is the person actually sick in Albury, or is it a repeat of last year's Mildura circus where the person had a PO Box in Mildura but they actually lived in Melbourne.
