I get that. But that was not my question. Let’s look at a scenario…. they don’t want to let unvaccinated in a pub. Ok Goodo. Let’s roll with that. 99 vaccinated people in there, and the next guy walks in also vaccinated but has Covid. what was the point of keeping the unvaccinated out? Was there any benefit to that? Now I can already hear people say “it reduces the chance.” Ok. Reduce but not eliminate so we can pretty much guarantee one of the vaxed will have it (it’s delta after all) so the actual level of chance is unimportant. So again. What was the benefit of keeping the unvaxed out if the vaxed can still spread it? Simple question.

I guess the first question is. If I’m in my 40s. What is more of a risk? My flying me aircraft or dying of Covid? Of course the government does not want me getting it and passing it on to someone who is 70. Sure. But the vaccine does not prevent that, so what is the actual point then?

I’m not saying we do nothing. Don’t get me wrong. Of course Covid is a problem but I think the response needs to match the threats. These images attached are again from the governments own site and data. Make of it what you will. But let’s discuss. I would like to hear what we all think of these graphs.

Source: Australia's COVID-19 Delta outbreak is pushing frontline hospital staff to the brink (6 Sep. 2021) https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-06/covid-hospital-health-care-workers-stress/100423832 dude I have plenty of family in the health system and ambos. Don’t believe all the crap you read. Keep perspective.

Let’s get some perspective lads. This straight from the ABS. link below for you. IN AUSTRALIA There were 5,043 deaths from respiratory diseases between January and May 2021. NOT INCLUDING COVID. There were 766 deaths due to influenza and pneumonia recorded between January and May 2021. NOT INCLUDING COVID. 20,143 deaths from cancer occurred between January and May 2021. Why are Covid deaths more important? Source. ABS https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/causes-death/provisional-mortality-statistics/latest-release

Let’s bow we go the way of Denmark. These Covid passports are going to be a PITA. https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/coronavirus/denmark-becomes-first-country-in-eu-to-drop-all-covid19-restrictions-as-nation-passes-70-per-cent-vaccination/news-story/da8aebff81793d807a017fed4ec3772c

Again... just thinking out loud, and like a good aviation student, thinking about the what ifs..... So here is the scene.... 100 people allowed in the pub. Stats say... Less likely to get it and pass it on. So what... 1 in 100 chance? Cool... so now we have one person in the room with the other 99 that is infected with Covid. Then what? The other 99 now also have the possibility of getting it, and now taking it elsewhere! Do we know if this is a REAL possibility - Israel will say it is. Just doesn't make sense to me. But maybe I overthink things too much!
-
Less likely is very different to can't! If you are sitting at the pub across the table from someone with it for 3 hours, I am pretty sure we know the outcome!
-
So here is a question... and I am just playing devil's advocte here... The Gov is saying if you are not Vaxed, you can't go to the pub. Why? If vaccinated people can still carry it, and still pass it on - what's the difference?
-
I am not sure we are ever going to reach 100% vaccination.
-
It's all over the news man! https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/nsw-records-1542-new-cases-of-covid19-nine-deaths-after-announcing-lockdown-exit-plan/news-story/bf28c66b26e6d28330b8008ab78f488a About half way down. “All of these individuals had underlying health conditions, three were fully vaccinated,” deputy chief health officer Marianne Gale said. “Three had (received) one dose of a Covid vaccine, and three were unvaccinated.
-
I hope you are right Skip. Saldy yesterday more people died Vaxed than unvaxed. Let's hope that is not a trend!

Why do I win the Chocy Frog?

Well, All I can say, from someone who experienced this last year when we were locked down.... Never again will I allow myself to go for months without getting in the cockpit to remain recent and proficient. Last year when that happened, it could have ended very differently. I won't go into details, only to say, CASA have recent and proficient policies for a reason. I will probably get flogged by some of you for this, but myself and my organisation are continuing to work (we deliver training to government and other essential services) and I can tell you, me driving to the AD to go for a fly, is the least of your concerns! LOL! You do you... I will do me. 🙂 Enjoy!

I don't want to be "that guy" but I am just identifying that it can't be as stated above. There are many reasons why people leave their home. Work Education Essential Utilities Medical Care Givers Zoo Keepers that need to feed animals The list goes on and on and on. To single out one person (ME) and state that I have contributed because I drove from my house to my hangar in a community that has never had a single case, is a bit insulting.
-
Hmm but by your example, then we should be at home in the dark, because in your "true lockdown" example, nobody could leave home to run the power station. Deliver food to woolies. Run the TV station. So you see, there are plenty of examples where people MUST leave their home.
-
Wow. That’s a bit of an event mate. So what I do in these situations instead of looking for the issue, let’s eliminate some stuff. Carby icing. If it was icing, I’m thinking it should not matter what tank you use, as it’s all happening in the carbs. So I would rule that out. you say you did a fuel drain with now water. So we can rule out contamination. UNLESS what you drained was all water. I’ve seen that. Can you rule out the vent. Not yet unless you check now that it’s not blocked. So could be. One last thing is… after you swapped tanks did you go back and replicate the problem? Because it may well have been a lock that sorted itself as you coincidentally changed tanks.

Very cool man! Something similar is on my list. I have a Bristell currently which is great for zooming off into the blue to go somewhere at a decent speed, but I also wanting something fun that I can plod about in. Good on you mate! You will have a blast with it I am sure.

NICE!! I upgraded not that long ago - what ya gettin?

Oh man. I ended up in a rabbit hole of CDC and Pfizer websites so I can’t tell you the exact link but I took a screen shots of the document. See attached. I will dig and see if I can find the exact site. The problem is main stream media will not fact check stuff. I have a very good friend who is involved in one of the biggest. They just run stuff. If another network runs it, so will they. If it’s a lie, they will simply repeat it. Sad.

I don’t know mate. Mine is working perfectly. 460 hours in and still going good.

while I agree with some of your comments, I will say that there’s no way we will get anything like heard immunity. Take a look at the likes of Israel. They are heavily vaccinated and going through more pain. The whole idea that these vaccines are a silver bullet is a farce, and our dumb governments just give people hope that “vaccines are our way out of this” Another comedy routine. I am in no way anti vaccine. I am fully vaccinated (except for Covid) and the data I have read up re these vaccines (from the manufacturer themselves) is plain scary. You should look into it. Not media data. Not Facebook data. Go to the sources. Trawl through their data and have a read. You will be shocked. I will give you one example. Pfizer themselves give little affect for their vaccine in people over 70. Yep. Read that again. Anyways. One thing is for sure. History will either see us look back and say we did the right thing based on science or the wrong thing based on Money. I have my suspicions which one it will be. Sadly.

I don’t know but I’m also going to ask the question of Fitti as to what happens if the motor dies at full course. My last woodcomp would go full fine if it failed in flight.
-
LOL. You are a laugh a minute. along with with what Garfly has said I have another question. Can you give one example of a country that has controlled the virus - at all, let alone with lockdowns. It’s surely a comedy routine to think any measure is going to get rid of it. It is going to be with us forever, and so we better get used to living with it. And for what it’s worth, not that I need to explain myself to you, I go from my house to my hangar and come into less contact with people than when I go do my food shopping. Alarmists like yourself do nothing to aid the cause. Let’s get a real grip on what we are in middle of, and do the best we can to remain human, because right now it appears humanity is out the window, and I see nothing but division and hatred amongst us all. God help us.

Hello all I have a Garmin G3X system and have just recently had the XPDR replaced after it failed. the other day I was up flying and noticed it flashing up NO ADSB on the glass. Just a couple of times but also noticed when I checked out flight aware the track ends right where the first NO ADSB error popped up. Nothing past that point. I was above 3500 over Cootamundra area at the time. any info that could help would be greatly appreciated.
