Can see this as a viable option when Moderna is delivered later on in the year. Merkel, being a scientist by trade, would have done her homework?

Yes, 3 early texts, then just got one again @ 6 weeks, but only 2 questions on it, interestingly the 2nd one was asking have you tested positively for Covid since getting the jab

I got one on day 4 and then day 8. Same questions both times. About 8 questions, rattling off a set of symptoms for you to select. Probably tailored for the jab you had and where you had it, if foxy didn't get one.

Hazzard isolating after potential close contact
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has revealed he is in isolation after potentially being exposed to COVID-19. The news comes after the Minister cancelled a number of live television interviews this morning to await confirmation from the health department. Mr Hazzard said he received a text overnight from health authorities that a likely positive case works at NSW Parliament. "[They're] telling me that a case had been detected as a likely positive and that I was a possible close contact," he said. The minister said there were more positive infections detected overnight, but wouldn't say how many. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-...down/100239412

And just in case anyone is still thinking this is 'just a flu':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWjz5l3NPME BATTLE TO BREATHE NEW RESEARCH UNCOVERS COVID’S LONG-TERM EFFECTS Researchers at La Trobe University supported by scientists from ANSTO have uncovered how the COVID-19 virus attacks human lung tissue potentially creating disastrous long-term health effects. Researchers utilized the Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) Beamlines at the ANSTO Synchrotron to examine at an atomic scale, a complex of two proteins: one from COVID-19 and the second from human lungs. The world-first discovery of this common relationship helps to understand how the deadly virus attacks lung tissue in healthy people and those with pre-existing conditions. Publishing their results in Communications Biology last week, the Australian-led world-first research will now assist dedicated and hard-working medical professionals around the globe. ANSTO MX Beamline’s Principal Scientist Dr Rachel Williamson believes the discovery is a critical step in medical research. “Some young healthy people continue to have a dangerous misconception that COVID-19 is not too serious for them, and that if they contract the virus, they will recover quickly,” Dr Williamson said. “This isn’t the flu, it is a new virus and, we have very little information about the long-term, potentially extremely serious, health impacts on the body in five, ten, or even twenty years from now.” La Trobe University Professor Marc Kvansakul said the past twelve months has shown that COVID-19 can produce greatly varying illnesses. “We’ve seen many patients around the world recover from the acute phase of the disease, only to discover that they have long-term damage to lungs and other organs,” Prof Kvansakul said. “Pinpointing exactly how this damage occurs brings us an important step closer to developing treatments that can be administered while patients are still in intensive care.” La Trobe University Professor Patrick Humbert said developing the COVID-19 vaccines was rightly the first priority, however now it is imperative that science shifts focus to also find treatments to combat COVID-19’s long-term effects. “We’ve already seen how this virus can mutate into new strains, meaning our current vaccines won’t always be effective,” Prof Humbert said. The $300 million ANSTO Synchrotron is one of a handful of such devices in the world. By having this critical facility here in Australia, we are creating the opportunity for Australians to lead the world in science and innovation. An animation of the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 E (envelope protein) and Pals1, a key protein found in human tissue can be found in the link above.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT June 23rd, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 14 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 2.995%. 3 cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.955% and active cases 24. The UK had a higher 15,882 cases yesterday and higher 19 deaths. A lower 11,922 new cases in the USA yesterday and higher 426 deaths sees CMR at 1.795%. Other notable points: Global cases pass 180M, the last 1M in 3 days; Global deaths pass 3.9M, the last 50k in 6 days; Monday (21/6) was the first day under 300k cases since 5/10/20; Africa moves about the 90th percentile for the 10-day period; South America passes 32M cases; Rwanda (964); Cuba (2,055); Indonesia (15,308); and Brazil (114,139) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period and the Philippines drop below.

Being idly curious, I was looking at how long it took globally to reach certain COVID milestones.
If we work on 1st March last year as the point at which the pandemic was declared globally, then it took: 75 days to surpass 100k cases / day (15th May); another 47 days to surpass 200k cases / day (1st July); another 71 days to surpass 300k cases / day (10th September); another 35 days to surpass 400k cases / day (15th October); another 13 days to surpass 500k cases / day (28th October); another 8 days to surpass 600k cases / day (5th November); another 35 days to surpass 700k cases / day (10th December); another 27 days to surpass 800k cases / day (6th January); .. we then had a short period where things started moving in the right direction and it took: 10 days to drop below 700k cases / day (16th January); 8 days to drop below 600k cases / day (24th January); 12 days to drop below 500k cases / day (5th February); .. before numbers started to increase again and it took: 37 days to rise above 500k cases / day (17th March); 8 days to rise above 600k cases / day (25th March); 7 days to rise above 700k cases / day (1st April); 13 days to rise above 800k cases / day (14th April); 9 days to rise above 900k cases / day (23rd April) and set a new record on 29th April; .. before things started to improve and it took: 15 days to drop below 800k cases / day (8th May); 7 days to drop below 700k cases / day (15th May); 7 days to drop below 600k cases / day (22nd May); 14 days to drop below 500k cases / day (5th June); .. and we've not yet dropped sustainably below 400k cases / day.

Interesting poll result, especially coming from readers of this
Australians seem happier to be locked down than vaccinated, and it makes no sense https://www.news.com.au/world/corona...56f15e8d687f6d

I shopped tonight, the “easy cooking” cuts of meat were heavily depleted. Pasta shelves had a dent in their stock, as did the bog rolls. Some common fruit and veg were down. Perhaps more people in the freezer aisles than normal. Mask rules don’t apply if you’re Middle Eastern and aged under 40.

So on the news tonight, AstraZenica vaccine to be phased out by October.
What a complete and utter stuff up.

Really poor choice of words, made my elderly parents panic. They didn't have any anxiety with their upcoming 2nd shot of AZ until they heard "phase out" yesterday. For some reason they thought that meant it was ineffective. The 2nd melb case of the limo virus also happens to live in our LGA. Yesterday wasn't a great day for the old folks.

Don't call it "lock down" if they don't want to, but for the sake of the rest of the country put some controls to stop the spread. "Don't move unless you want to"...wtf does that even mean? Melb man caught the virus at the superspreader party but was never contacted by GSS contact tracing team. LNP MPs who came into contact with the agricultural minister are saying they have been asked to self isolate, but labor MPs are saying they have had no such advice from NSW Health. Vic is due to return to covid normal next week, 5 weeks since "lock down" was invoked. Obviously that could all go to ****s if londo man has managed to spread.

This should stir the pot a bit
Is NSW's contacting tracing system still the gold standard? Australian Medical Association (AMA) President Omar Khorshid doesn't seem confident it'll be enough to combat the Delta strain. "The Delta strain is significantly more transmissible than anything Sydney has faced before. "They managed to get ahead of the outbreak earlier in the year but it still talk around about a month and it impacted the lives of people in the Northern Beaches significantly. "Delta is now out and about. "There are locations throughout Sydney that are of concern and there are hundreds and thousands of people being traced right now. "We have to get ahead of it. "The virus is two or three days ahead of the contact tracing." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-...-qld/100242886
