COVID-19: who’s going full doomsday prep on this?

[ForkinGreat]

Yes, there is testing at the airport. Depending on how busy the airport is you may be waiting minutes, or hours. If you have luggage, I'd recommend having a quick scout out the front before collecting it, to see if you can get a quick test in before the poxxy hordes crowd around.

there's 2 test types. the express PCR takes 90 + min to get a result, the rapid antigen 30+ min.

Saw a hole bunch of Anti Vaxxers today in town when I was coming home. Makes me laugh, idiots.

I do know of that is the correct collective noun for such a group.

Hmmm, hold my beer...

a ventilation of anti-vaxxers ?
a Sheeple of anti-vaxxers ?

Sheeple would be herd, surely?

Ventilation may work as that seems to be where many end up.

Perhaps a ward of antivaxers?

Adelaide is now in the "too hard" basket until I know I can just get in and out without hassle and not take risk of omicron exposure/associated quarantine. At least the airlines give full travel credit refunds.

a vacuum of anit-vaxxers?

Ditto. We officially cancelled our trip this morning. Mrs George was worried about telling her Dad, he was like "I was expecting this call two weeks ago."

It was this article that pushed it beyond doubt

Shaun visited a plant nursery last week. Now he's quarantined in an Adelaide medi-hotel

Shaun Ferguson shares his experience of what happened after he visited a pet and plant store that later became a high-risk COVID-19 exposure site.

We can't afford to be stuck in a box for two weeks, let alone stuck in a box with the children, at the slightest thought that we might be in the same suburb as someone who might have it.

And the 'now because I said now' attitude of it all, WTF do we do with our camp gear and bikes while we're stuck in the box?

Starting to spread like wildfire in Qld already.

Today we have recorded 10 new cases of COVID-19. 1 case was locally acquired. 7 cases were interstate acquired and 2 cases were overseas acquired, all 9 were detected in hotel quarantine.
There are currently 56 active cases and 28 are in hospital.

Local drive through testing centre was packed this morning. It hasn't been busy for ages and recently down sized. I'm wondering if this is a Monday "gotta get a test, can't make it in..." Weekend extender or people have been jolted by the recent development of a cluster.

Might also be people starting to get ready for interstate holiday travel, which will need negative tests for border clearance.
I was one of four when I went to get tested yesterday
