  1. here exposure to being contagious enough to spread with delta is happening within 24 to 30 hours. Some test positive after just that little time, others only test positive after 13 days
  2. You don't come across as insensitive at all. Some moments it is easy to get feelings of dispair
  3. Everyone in the whole world is in the same boat. Everyone everywhere It messed up my ds17 and dd21 study Ruined my grandmothers funeral Made it so we could only have a last minute wedding service with immediate family for my only Dd after months and months of prep. It is very hard to not feel very down about it. Hard to just focus on the moment and not get anxious. Hard to just live hour by hour and not wonder if at any hour there will be a snap lockdown. Absolutly impossible to plan further than 24 hours.
  4. They treated him with anticoagulants through IV. He still has a headache, though now within the range if normal, and feels completely exhausted. Cognativly he feels way better They did blood tests but no scans. Even though he requested scans and has private insurance.
  5. sadly same I personally don't know a single person who has had covid but I know a person who has died from the vaccine ( in Canada) my brother has a probable blood clot from the vaccine and needed hospitalization. my friend was extremely ill for over a week so was my neighbour, and I don't know many people who are vaccined as the roll out is fairly recent here I am not anti vax at all but very very glad that I live in Australia
  6. Yes I agree Every time he is in a press conference I wonder what absurdity he will spout next.
  7. Thanks for the chart. I was wanting to look this chart up last night but couldn't think what to search for
  8. Last year that happened in Melbourne. It ended up to close to 5 months of lockdown. Getting stricter and stricter or until the numbers dropped. If I remember right when the numbers dropped it was quick
  9. If anyone doubts that it spreads through schools they should take a good look at QLD 5 different school communities
  10. glad you survived from the heading I was hoping it was the last day of those awful phone calls from bio mum and was ready to cheer for you
  11. They had the military help in Vic last year. Really it isn't like what you imagine. Instead of 3 police walking around together there were 2 police and an ADF person. So the police could be spread out further. They also helped with traffic control at testing centres and I believe assisted nurses who were doing house checks instead of police. It frees up police and nurses, especially if there are numbers in isolation because of covid exposure It wasn't soldiers walking around armed or anything like that.
  12. Good on you I have never made food for 100 so no advice Colslaw?
  13. In Victoria they are findi g that with delta incubation us both shorter and longer People were exposed at the same event. They all went into isolation in their own homes. Some tested positive in as little as 24-36 hours some have just tested positive at day 13. They have all been tested multiple times.
  14. I am expecting to go from homeschooling 2 special needs boys to looking after an elderly dh. He is currently 60. Twins are 10. 10 more years of looking after twins, then helping them transition into some sort of supported living. Dh will then be 70. If twins hadn't come to live with us ds is turning 18 in a few months. We could have been empty nesters. I feel guilty and sorry for dh, slightly envious of people that are looking at empty nests and disappointed that I probably never will get to go on a holiday with dh
  15. There have been a couple of cases in Vic of people having multiple negative then testing positive on day 13 with delta.
  16. They did bloodtests that came back as negative for blood clots, but all the symptoms of bloodclots so are treating it as if it is.
  17. Thank you He is back home, discharged himself from hospital. still with the very strange headache but feels a bit better than yesterday
  18. Describe a situation where you dealt with a crisis. How did you communicate with the team and what was the outcome. This one comes up in 2 of my sons work applications all the time. They have developed some great story responses. Really appeals to their inner hero. Mind you it is always for their remote area fire-fighter jobs.
  19. They have admitted him to hospital and started iv treatment for blood clots as a precaution.
  20. My brother is much worse On his way to emergancy right now. He woke up this morning and cannot remember how to do anything
