Thanks Josh. Currently trying to get it all fixed so appreciate everyone's patience.

One and a half episode in and I think it's a really intriguing series. I like the atmosphere of it. Reminds me a bit of Dark in the beginning. And of course everything that involves time traveling in any shape or form has me hooked from the beginning.

Graz are up 1-0 on RB. @nudge must be happy about that.

I can confirm the bolded part. It's unreal how many of most highly sophisticated and advanced cyber software, malware, and everything in-between is coming out of Israel.

That shit is scary, it's crazy to imagine the actual levels of surveillance happening globally.

One thing Australia can offer is insight of how quickly the virus spreads from a single case. There's so little COVID out there that we trace the fuck out of it, and Below is a map of the current Melbourne outbreak. We'd had zero cases for a couple weeks, then had a pair of covid positive removalists come to pack up an apartment in Melbourne. They had the delta strain, and have COVID to 4 people in other apartments in the complex on the same floor. One of those guys went to the footy and gave it to 6 people in the bay of the stadium he was sitting in, 1 of those 6 went to the rugby the day after and it took off from there. We found the removalists cases on day 1 ( 3 days after they'd done the job), 10 new cases on day 2 and announced a lockdown with another 12 cases on day 3. That was all that was known about at the time we locked down, and yet in every case in yellow on the chart below was already positive by that point, just had not been found and contained. Today was the 7th day we've been locked down and announced 26 new cases, but 24 of them had been in quarantine for 100% of their infectious periods, so no risk to have spread it further... Current plan is to reopen in 4 days time provided all detected cases were in quarantine for their entire infectious periods. That's 3 lockdowns this year for Melbourne, which have been 5 days, 14 days and (fingers crossed) 11 respectively.

I had my first dose of Pfizer a few weeks back, no after affects whatsoever besides a slightly sore arm.

I had the Pfizer/Biontech jab. Only the first one though. Getting the 2nd on 3rd August. Had nothing besides a bit of a sore arm for a day when I lifted it up. My parents had both jabs already and had no real side effects besides a bit of soreness where the needle went in for a day. Hope you feel better soon mate.

I'm gonna echo the shouts on here that say you should take the test to see whether or not you've had it. If you're not feeling well (even if it's not covid), you shouldn't be getting a vaccine until you're feeling better though. Wait until you're feeling better for sure. But if I were in your shoes, I'd get a test done... like I did (almost a year ago) when I wasn't feeling well. It ended up not being COVID and was something else But you should still get the vaccine when you're feeling better. Don't think that if you test positive you've now got antibody protection from the virus forever - but rather, think about the fact that a few studies have shown that people who had the virus at some point and then got the vaccine seem to produce an absolute shitload of antibodies when exposed to the virus again, compared to unvaccinated people (obviously) but even vaccinated people who never caught the virus. Could be something of a silver lining if you do test positive! I, of course, hope you test negative for it. And also, I hope you feel better from whatever is making you feel ill ASAP - covid or not. As for your last question: I had the Moderna vaccine. First jab, no real side effects tbh. Bit of a sore arm the next day but that's all. Second jab, I felt fine up until I woke up the next day. I had an awful headache that lasted the whole day and my body felt sore and achey like when you've got a bad flu. But the day after that, I woke up and I felt completely fine.

They should also check which music genre they dislike. I think viruses aren't much into classical opera singing

Seeing a lot of people whose tail's have dropped off since the vaccine. Out and about in this heat its really noticeable that some people still have the sort of base of the tail bone but their tail isn't there. Wonder if that's down to Pfizer or AZ or when you get one of each. I'd recommend anyone getting the vaccinated pays close attention to their balance in the days after. If you're a bit wobbly your tail might have dropped off or be on the way out. God knows how we are all going climb trees to avoid the flood waters after this.
