News Coronavirus and NRL

[Last Week]

I think Wuhan is what this country has become and you all have become used to bending over and don’t realise it.
Flu shot protects against flu - must take flu shot to function in covid society
Covid vaccine protects against covid - she will be right don’t worry about taking it you don’t have too

You're on the spectrum aren't you?

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

What religions are against vaccinations anyway?

I dont know of any religions that are against vaxing...

I think it is just that the people who can get suckered into believing the anti-vax shit are the same idiots who get suckered into the crazier religious groups.

Im guessing it is just correlation....

When I started work at a meat works in 1995, one of my friends who is allergic to eggs could not get a job there because the vaccines for Q fever contains egg. I didn't need the vaccine as I had already had Q fever.

still relevant. I worked for a company doing contracted construction and maintenance work at Malabar Sewage plant about 5/-6 years ago, we had to get a bunch of shots before we were allowed on that job, no jab, no work

 

[Danish]

What a massive sook.

So the vast vast majority get vaccinations, and yet your salty as f**k because "hypocrisy"?

The vast majority don’t get flu vaccinations in Australia

 

[Danish]

Rubbish, these people have sought permission to participate in a high risk activity and have been given permission to so on the condition they follow certain guidelines. One of these guidelines is to get the flu shot, don't get the shot, that is ok but you can't participate in this high risk activity.

A vaccination that is completely irrelevant to the pandemic.

mayne we should force them all to take HIV preventatives too

 

[Danish]

No one is physically forcing them. They don't have to have the shot, but they don't get to play. Unimmunised kids are already excluded from daycare and in public school they can be pulled out in the event of a virus outbreak.

Are kids who do get the flu shot excluded from day care?

 

[Danish]

20% is a pulled out of his arse number. Considering it's harder to get the jab at the moment and there is 16.5M vaccinations available I'd say that number is horseshit.

Even if it is, it's not reflective of people being anti-vaxx if they don't get it.

Catching the flu will increase the risk of complications/susceptibility if you contract Rona so you reduce your risk.

It's pretty f**king simple.

You reduce YOUR risk. That is a YOU decision. Cartwright getting the flu isn’t some dangerous affair for the public.

cartwright not getting a flu vaccination does not have any effect on his likelihood of catching or spreading coronavirus. The conditions of play during a pandemic should be limited to ensuring we aren’t spreading coronavirus. Not just random made up shit.

the NRL never required flu shots before. The risk of a player dying of the flu is no different today that it was at any other time in the games history

This isn't "any other time in history".

Nobody is claiming not getting the jab is a danger to the public, that he could die from it or it increases his likelihood of catching the virus.

Having it reduces the risk of catching the flu and passing it onto others. Current thinking is contracting the Rona whilst you have the flu would compromise your health.

No jab, no play. 100% his choice.

Has the flu been listed as one of the pre-existing conditions which increase fatality with covid? Genuine question.

Personally I get flu shots every year, and I think Cartwright is a ponce for not vaccinating his kids. But IMO if he other the other players want to fight this specific condition, I reckon he'll win. It just seems completely arbitrary and outside the scope of what a government could enforce.

Where you on the sauce when you posted those other ones mate? This is much more coherent. (I a bad drunk poster)

You could argue that all of the world's government responses has been arbitrary,and I'm not sure spending months fighting this in court, is even on the table or relevant.

I think we are forgetting that this isn't just a normal everyday situation, and the NRL is asking for resumption almost 2 months before the rest of us are allowed to.

As for the science, no idea, but I'd suspect getting the flu isn't highly recommended.

Fact, the health professionals have recommended these actions.

I find it bizarre, that they no problem when the boss says, here is a list of drugs you cannot have.

Kick up a big stink when told to take one from a doctor.

Anyways, hope they all get banned.

Dickheads.

Just don't piss in your mouth and carry on.

lol.

Media reporting on NRL players and social distancing laws:

[Mr Angry]

These are you employment conditions, you are FREE to leave.

 

[Danish]

Will the NRL enforce these laws on all teams? Or only the ones based in QLD?

seems unfair that the Gold Coast have to lose players while NSW/ACT based teams don’t

 

[Willow]

Pro-choice.

 

[Heisenberg]

It appears to be a condition of the exemptions from the QLD government to allow them to train. Not sure what else the NRL can do for them.

I think it was more just very late at night here in NY.

yes there have been plenty of arbitrary responses. Indeed if a lot of the lockdown laws were actually challenged, some might not stand up. But most people have gone along with them as they just make sense.

this though IMO doesn’t make much sense. At least not from a health perspective. If the NRL came out making it blanket policy for the code, stating they wanted less scares/quarantines from players coming down with flu-like symptoms, then that would make more sense.

the QLD government applying this rule solely to NRL players when it doesn’t even apply it to their own employees is stupid

Do those protections exist under State of Emergency conditions?

I'm also certain that return to office plans will need to include things as arbitrary as this for the time being.

Remember special exemption is being sort here, you can't this exemption to be unconditional.

You'd be one of very few to consider losing Bryce to be a detriment....
