Yes, camping, caravanning, airbnb or homeaway

I think it’s a real trap that health care workers are forced to be vaccinated.
A real catch-22 if ever!

Aged care should be better than that, because the baby boomers are in that age bracket and there are about 5 million of us since post war baby boom.
The government knew it was coming, so why not better preparedness?
It’s the industry that should promote more nursing and administration.

Puts me off, confidence is way down low about going to aged care if and when that time comes, especially after witnessing our parents gen that were at the mercy of this Covid-19 in aged care facilities.

None of mine or hubby’s parents went into any age care.
Except mum in law died age 57 with cancer in a hospital.
My uncles were in age care and when I went to visit one of them that lives closer, it was kind of stinky in there.
Of course uncle was in a wheel chair so makes it less easy to care for I suppose with loss of independence.

I have no quarrel with Medical Staff getting the Vac-Jab first - you gotta be in it to win it and even if they didn't want it - they 'have to' have it. But with that - the first people who should get the Vac-Jab first before non-infected. So thanks to our successful Lock Downs we have valuable time to watch the rest of the world get vaccinated first - and see if it works with very minimal side-effects hopefully. Wouldn't want thalidomide-like babies popping out.

We know though, in a real world there will be millions of people around the world who aren't infected who will rush forward yelling "Me first! Me first!" in panic and selfishness. Scoring where someone infected just died for lack of a vaccination. This is the savage instinct of self-preservation. Our successful Lock Downs in Oz & NZ have allowed us the grace not to be like that and be patient.

Who knows, maybe we 'need' this virus to

naturally

endure the world ahead? Maybe its the viruses that make the evolutionary changes required to adapt? A lot to learn in the time that has been given to us. But by the look of the damage done on people's lungs so far - its obviously a 'sign' of our Polluted world of filth and rubbish. We are a part of Gaea despite our knowledge. We are still Ocean-Earth bound. We have not become a seperate identity on another world yet.

Infected people first.
Medical people second.
Non-infected after.

Have to admit, that will increase my mirth at people who turn up camping with all the gear but zero idea.

I camp light in comfort. I throw down some rubber mates to connect. Pull the tent from its circular sleeve and throw it in the air. Swoosh! Instant Tent. Throw in the blankets and pillows and some dive weights (no pegs through hard ground, wallabies tripping in the night, etc). All else is table, chairs, cooking aids. To pack my tent up - it folds in 10 seconds and is sleeved in 30 seconds once inside items are removed. Drive away.  Efficient, minimal impact, do anywhere responsibly and minimal space use.
The popular Rooftop Tents take 20+mins to pack up, let alone set up. Even then, they are so 'tightly' made, you can barely get the zippers back around even with silicon lube. They just can't afford those few extra stitches of material. 

When Tenting though, its always wise to 'surface spray the surrounding bottom end of your tent. Discourages snakes as well as spiders who find your body heat comforting in the night.

Strong weather conditions and I'm in the vehicle for the night. Easy peasy, but the Tent is more comfortable especially if I wanna do laptop.
I turned up to a popular Caravan Park once across from an old couple who the bloke was putting up his Tent which seemed a complex bother. I get my Tent out - pull it out of its sleeve, after I laid my mats and throw it up into in the air a bit and 'hey presto!' boff! a tent. Well the old fella lost it a bit and called me a "Such n' such young smartarse". I would have helped him if he hadn't said such as I would have the 'time'. Oh well.

I really don't know why people live in Tents in the cities.
Going 'camping' is great.
