@powder Mask wearing is mandated in Victoria. The other day I saw an Israeli article claiming that vaccination decreased the number or intensity of virus particles in the nose so it helped stop the spread of the disease. Has the federal government ever mandated the wearing of masks?
I notice that is now mandated that we are required to register entry into supermarkets - what if you don't have mobile phone?

I have just encountered lunacy in respect of the gas meter reading. The gas company has just sent a bill based on a guesstimate. The actual reading was written on a label fixed to the front gate and about two months ago they were sent a photograph of the meter. On receipt of the bill I sent them another photograph. Not good enough they say. Their guess is to have increased my usage from 9 m³ to 44m³. They claim that they cannot schedule more accurately than a ten day window to read the meter. I've told them that my "wait on your convenience charge" is $300 per hour charged by the full day. I've told them that I'm in high risk category and the gate remains locked to protect myself. They are laughing at me & are now telling me that they will charge $130 to come & do a special reading. The meter reader does not disinfect gate handles that they have touched. The energy company has a monopoly on the supply of gas in our town thanks to political lack of forethought or corruption.

@powder I've just been told that the vaccine can't do anything against covid but does stimulate the immune system except if a virus manufactured to fit the artificial spike that it creates in RNA is let loose. It sounds like conspiracy theory to me but there's no smoke without fire.

@powder And as one who has extensive training in the fields of Medicine I shall STILL disagree with you most ardently and vehemently.
Imo, most of you whining, Cry-Baby Victorians are little more than Spoiled Little Brats who care ONLY for themselves and NOT the ENTIRE Population of this country at large.

@powder Well, as such a person with such wondrous qualification in Risk and Hazard Management as you, then one would surely think that such a person could EASILY manage to discover such trivia for himself would he not?
Or is, mayhap, a case of needing someone to hand your delicate little hand and walk you through it all just in case it gets a wee bit too difficult or scary for you?
By the way, my 'scenario' as you like to call it was a HYPOTHETICAL scenario BUT it can and often DOES happe3n that way, similar can and does happen on Airline Flights both National and International, Ocean Cruises, simple Suburban Train journeys, etc, etc, AND even WORSE WHEN IDIOTIC Whining and Snivelling Cry-Baby, Spoiled little Brats ( who will remain nameless at present) seemingly care far less about the rest of the Human Race than they do for their precious little, trivial personal wants, needs and desires.
Btw, imo, IF the cap fits, please feel most free to don it and wear it.
