You should talk to the local South Australian paramedics, nurses and doctors about that one mate. Pretty sure they will disagree with you there!

The exact numbers are 191 intensive care units in Australia, with a total of 2,378 available intensive care beds during baseline activity.

Not denying the figures mate 👍 My point being is part of your reply, in that they can expand the number of available beds in an emergency, yet when multiple ambulances are being ramped for hours every day at South Australia's multi billion dollar hospital denying the public receive instant care, all because the idiotic government have their heads in their collectives arses about saving money, you have to question whether they actually would open some beds up in an emergency. Anyone can create a spreadsheet to show XY and Z to make them look good, yet the facts are that what is told and shown by the polticians and statistics keepers, is just to keep everyone happy and make them look like they're actually doing something right when they're not 3legs and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they set up an 10000 bed intensive care unit in Wuhan at the start of the epidemic in ten days to handle the the original outbrake? So you can see why everyone is being carefull with this Delta strain as its worse than the original . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online booking was simple but that was only for AZ from what I could see. 4 hours ago, Arne Krix said: Got some good info from Dalai today, followed the prompts online , got a call 4 pm , booked for the shot tomorrow morning. I don’t think much of vaccines , however , unless we all get the shot , we will go jo jo style in and out of lock down , no travel , and NO SMT RUNS. Get it done.😎✈️🏎 Can you share a link to where you booked so quickly - everywhere I’ve looked doesn’t allow on line bookings other than my local GP where I had a 4 week lead time, that’s about 2 weeks away. not the end of the world but I’d have it tomorrow just to get it out of the way. AZ shots are 3m apart so the sooner I start the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 2June, 2021 Report Share Posted 2June, 2021 I went via the following link https://covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/eligibility After entering my age (over 50) it allowed me to then select the Make a Booking button. Was able to enter a local postcode and then filter by availability. That allowed to me find a local medical centre that had bookings under 7 days. When checking the link to confirm details for Arne this morning there was still an option local to me with availability within 2 days.

PDean Posted 2June, 2021 Report Share Posted 2June, 2021 Workmates brother got the AZ shot yesterday, today his work had to get him an uber cab home as he couldn't open his eyes and now can't lift his right arm. Hopefully it won't last for too long. He is 47yrs old. He didn't want AZ but, doctor said chances of anything happening too small. You'll be right. Good luck everyone getting the jab. Try and get one best suited to your age group. Last but not least, if your watching the Pies in SA DON'T touch the ball if it goes into crowd 🤣🤣 From SA's chief health officer 🤣 DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t bother my brother-in-law, he can’t feel his legs or fingers after coming off chemo.

Feared he'd never play guitar again when he couldn't feel his hands or legs for two weeks. Yeah hows that for a laugh ay? DON'T TOUCH THE BALL! 😂😂😂 What a moron. Maybe they can tell the players they have to kick the ball low for goals and points to make sure it doesn't go into the crowd? 😂 Health chief Spurrier has just dug herself a massive hole that the public will ensure that she will struggle to get out of. But its ok...I'm sure the government and their background 'nodders' will help her out. I can't fathom the idiocy of her comments as a medical professional trying to justify allowing Collingwood coming over here and calling it a 'negligible risk', then has the audacity to say "Well they're doing their job they are paid to do..." What about small business owners from Victoria who can't come across to make their living? Again, double standards Grimmy and PDean 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGA Posted 2June, 2021 Report Share Posted 2June, 2021 I have had both AZ jabs and suffered zero side effects. Further, in my village where I lived in the UK until last week, almost everyone else has been vaccinated with AZ and also had zero side effects. So as with all these things, I genuinely believe it comes down to whether you are actually fit and healthy. If so, you will have no problems. If you do have any of the side effects as described above then that should be a prompt for you to look deeper because you probably have bigger problems lurking inside.

My 91 y/o Mum had AZ a month or so ago and had a day of drowsiness then back to 100% normal. Much higher risk of blood clots from a long haul flight or pregnancy but we don’t avoid those things in fear. Scott930 and Niko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
