Pet peeve: It's not a "RAT test" everyone. It's a RAT - the T is for Test!

Triple jabbed (Az x x2, pfizer on 4/1) but no exposure yet. I'm not so concerned for myself now, but I don't like the idea I might catch it and give it to someone else. I need to interact with a few people that have compromised immunities, so I try to be as cautious as possible to minimse the potential.

Hey guys please tell me this, I always check in with this QR Code thing where every i go, now I have been told that this is not necessary anymore, as no one checks it anyway.

Is this true, are we on our own now so to speak, and look after ourselves and others as best we can without the knowledge of actually knowing where this Virus is lurking.

In Victoria it is still mandatory to check in using QR codes. Some establishments I have been to have policed this others like supermarkets don't give a rats. It is up to the individual to be responsible and diligent.

I think QR code’s are still required in shops in NSW.
Around here every large retail is resulting in notifications for every visit and multiple notifications even if you were there ten minutes.

I suppose you know then to be extra careful and keep that P2 mask on. Many of my friends and family have tested positive recently and knew to test as soon as they felt unwell if they could get a RAT or PCR.

My pet peeve is the radio and TV talking heads who should know better, but say
"vun-rable to the virus"

It's pronounced and spelled with an "L" i.e VULnerable

There still is some Delta around its not totally gone. About 3 weeks ago it was reported to be around 20 something percent of cases.
