Re: C19 and Tennis

Apparently Camila Giorgi was very sick with C-19.
We still talk about tennis. And much more.

Hopefully she's okay now and won't have any long time side effects.
Completely. Plus, there are vaccines now. IF the players are vaccinated, AND they take a PCR test (for example), which they can show prior to boarding a plane, these measures are exaggerated.

Heck, tell them to take TWO vaccines, which seem to not have any consequences with each other. Moving the AUSSIE to Dubai would be ridiculous.
I’m not outraged by this - vaccinating anyone in the world is fine with me - but it smacks of elitism, and that drives me crazy. Also hypocritical, to bash the US for Covid (maybe not her directly, but Australians) then take our vaccine.ti-amie wrote:Key points:

The 25-year-old revealed she was vaccinated in the US because she could not get answers on a timeline for Australian vaccination before she left the country to compete in Miami in March.

Haha! I don’t mind, really. Very glad you are getting it! The more people who are vaccinated in the world, the better. It was because it was an Australian. I admire how they locked down and contained the virus. But some of them were pretty judgy about how the US handled it (duh, Trump) and the US Open going ahead. But we have our vaccine act together, it seems like.ponchi101 wrote:The USA is the country that gives more aid to more counties around the world by a long shot. You even have aid programs for China, which is kind of insane.
The USA is also the most hated country in the world, even in places where aid is going to. You have considerable food and medicine programs for Africa and L. America, getting no love back from that.
So, you are damned if you do, damned if you don't. The tragedy of being the world's superpower.
(If you are going to get angry with foreigners getting vaccinated in the USA, you will unfriend me by Wednesday. Too bad, I really liked you )

Would Australia ever have vaccinated an American? Hell no. We take so much (expletive) from the rest of the world - and we deserve some of it - but we are also very generous, even if we are clumsy about it at times. This kind of pisses me off about Barty, to be honest. Just rubs me the wrong way, even if it’s perfectly logical.

This includes people without a Medicare card, overseas visitors, international students, migrant workers and asylum seekers.
I don't believe that no one (else) here wants it, but sounds like there's enough to go around. Thanks for the note on Australia's vaccine policy. Good to hear. Surprises me.mmmm8 wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 1:36 pmOf course they would:meganfernandez wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 1:47 pmI’m not outraged by this - vaccinating anyone in the world is fine with me - but it smacks of elitism, and that drives me crazy.

Obviously, not a lot of people are able to enter Australia right now, but that's a separate issue.
And the reason the US is vaccinating anyone who wants it regardless of residency at this point is because no one here wants it and the vaccines could go bad.
