    This whole Dictator Dan spin is bullshit. He is not making decisions on his own, it is group decisions. Just because you don't agree does not make him a dictator.

    If ****wits did the right thing and more people actually cared about the community as a whole instead of being obsessed with looking afternumber 1 the rules wouldn't have to be made.

    Are you vaccinated?

    I asked because a lot of people are anti lockdown but also carry on about masks, vaccines, QR codes etc.

    Good on you for doing what you can to help come out of lockdown and not just whining like a lot seem to. For me second doze of Pfizer coming Friday. They can't fairly open up to vaccinated people until everyone has had a chance to be vaccinated.

    I think anyone who chooses not to vaccinate should sign a form similar to a Do Not Resuscitate so if they have COVID issues they don't tie up the medical system. They should also be removed from the target vaccination rates. So 70% of the eligible population who want the be vaccinated done becomes the first goal.

    I am converned that anti vaxxers are going to delay the whole thing!

    I watched some cricket from England on the weekend, probably why I can't understand people not getting the jab.Sitting out in the sun, drinking beer and having a good time.
    We live in the hotspot for covid in Australia, and so many people deny it exists.Even when people are dying from it.

    Thats a fair point, I will vote for that. Also no medicare funded treatments for all self inflicted medical conditions caused by smoking, drugs, alcohol and obesity as these all tie up the medical system.
    If people choose to put themselves at risk, then they shouldnt be the taxpayers burden.

    Its a great question Joe.

    90% of adults in the UK have had one shot, almost 80% two shots.

    Death rates are now very low compared to the height of the pandemic.

    In Australia, we haven't come to the conclusion that there is an acceptable death rate. Who wants to sacrifice their Mum, Dad or Granny to open up?

    What is the way out? I don't have the answer. At this stage it looks like Vaccination, vaccination, vaccination, and perhaps a PM with courage to say that the strategy we had for 0 unavoidable deaths is no longer valid, and we will need to accept there will be human collateral damage.

    The strategy is pretty straightforward. As soon as supply of vaccines outstrips demand open the joint up. Then it’s just a matter of get the vax or get dead.
    Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become a Masters champion..... It looks like a mirac.. It's in the hole! It's in the hole!

    Joe, I feel for you I really do.
    Vic has probably copped it the worst of everyone the past 12 months….
    Heed the advice do the right thing.
    If you want to hear something stupid……
    Most on here know how close I live to my club, in fact I can’t finish a stubby on the walk home it’s that close!
    But because across a major road it becomes an LGA hotspot I can’t access the club!
    Had a look at timesheets probably 50 a day if that, only those in the LGA and 5km radius are allowed to play etc…
    Talk about ****ing craziness, but that’s the way it is!
    And what about all those out of work, close by that can’t play and are still paying full whack subs for the privilege!
    I miss it, I miss losing my money to the old burglars, having 4 schooners after whilst having a yarn, practice, whatever but that’s just the world we are in atm…..
    Hold on, ride it out!

    I’m the only person in the clubhouse, with a full bar at my disposal. It takes all of my self control not to drink before 10am.
    Forum needs more banter.

    I can drive 77km to go to work. Can’t touch a club. Might as well perform some quality control.
