Mhmm. I don’t blame people really, seems like we are all just waiting to see what our state leaders do respectively, beyond that everything else is noise.

It feels like groundhog day 😩 lucky money isn’t an issue, can imagine how worse it’d be if I was stressed because of that

I am agree with chips that eventually we will have to open cause economy is gonna suffer and we can’t live our lives inside but opening up now is the wrong decision when some major hospitals are already at capacity and going into spill over (especially Westmead)

Umm it’s hard to say but it also seems that half state governments not gonna follow though with what federal government wants so honestly idk 🤷‍♂️

Probably why I have opinion I do. I am still working and my workplace actually hired new people cause sales are been going up

I do feel sorry for people with business though, livelihoods destroyed

Gladys half ass lifting of restrictions is very unpopular seems like no one’s happy on what she did

Yah I agree lol

Also federal government said every state needs to be at 80% in order to have freedom

In theory Gladys isn’t allowed to open until then

that makes sense but the thing is dan andrews has adopted a policy of elimination meaning that even with 80% vaccination we can still be under lockdown since even with vaccinations people still catch and spread covid.

It’s so unrealistic smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

I seriously underestimated the mental toll this has taken on people, I feel bad now in hindsight.

yer fam.

let's say we get 80% vaccination -> covid still spreads like what is happening in israel and other places with high vax rates.

what do premiers do? if they finally admit we gotta live with it doesn't this mean we could of avoided lockdowns and have lived with it and saved months of our lives.
situation a mess.

🍿

i'm reaching apathetic nirvana rn

qld and wa will never hit 80%

i doubt most states will tbh, most western countries won't/haven't

it will eventually be a fixed date where everyone has had X amount of time to get two doses

for nsw i guarantee things get moving in some fashion by november because there will literal carnage if not

Also with that outbreak recently there’s flaws in the testing method itself. A mate of mine lives in the building where those movers went to. He was saying that they incentivised getting tested, $450 per test every two days, but some people didn’t get tested until late on so it’s unclear if they had it or not. Clusterfuck

i dont understand how you can be living in these current times and be still anti-vaxx regarding the covid vaxx. i got quite a few friends who are by most standards well educated, intelligent young adults who will happily snort coke, do sarms/steroids, smoke and drink alcohol and yet because they "dont know the long-term consequences and ramifications" of the vaccine they refuse to get vaccinated. im all for freedom of choice and deciding what they put into their own respective bodies, but those people should face the consequences of their actions. honestly if you have a legitimate reason to not get vaccinated, i would like to hear it. also i reckon if the government said NOT to get vaccinated, these conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers would lol

no one cares about unvaccinated deaths in the US/UK because that's your personal choice

the same attitude needs to come in here. it's literally a gamble and you lose. i don't ask for others to stop their life because i dusted a grand on waikato +3.5

the covid kids thing is a legit psyop

but you're right areas like WA and NZ especially will flinch because they don't understand it's a new world. they haven't adjusted their expectations yet

the silver lining with the NSW outbreak is that I think that change in perspective is happening because now the option has been taken away; you just have to.

hi, im locked in my apartment and failing uni

is it past census date?

That first point

Can’t agree enough

yes ;( . I need to stick it out cuz last tri I did s***house and now I must redeem myself

in the first big lockdown got motivated to get into hobbies etc, f***s sake i even learnt how to 3d model and 3d printed my own computer mouse, now theres no motivation to do anything,

yeah gl fam

i know some unis during lockdown took fails off ur record during lockdown if you got between certain marks
like it'll be on your record as withdrawn and not fail

yeah mate this stint has been a lot worse but stick fat and if you're in nsw or vic i think the light is at the end of the tunnel (november)

if we're still locked down by the end of that month at least you/we have some ultraviolence to look forward too lol

i have no motivation at all for uni. im in my third year but im over this s***. .

i took advantage of the job trainer thing w/ a subsidized TAFE course but i need to go out to do half the s***.. I already have a degree though and im just doing freelance s*** (albeit very slowly)
