    The Astra Zeneca here has been responsible for around 8 blood clot cases one lady from near where I live went into intensive care in Perth at one stage they were talking about removing her spleen have not heard much more but the pics of her bruised/clotted arms made it look like a baseball team had flogged the guts out of her with their bats.
    I am going to push my GP for either the Pfizer or the Modena one but that wont be online till August. I'll use my MI that occurred in Sept last year as a lever as I certainly do not want clots when A) There has been some damage to the engine in my chest B) Being on blood thinners a clot is the last thing I need.

    Victoria has locked down as they have the Indian strain there with the potential of 4000 close contacts from a football spectator this is very worrying as a lady who works with my wife was rung by the police to go into 14 days isolation having just got back from Victoria.
    Those that think this is all B/S around the world really need to pull the head from their nether regions and take on board what the Govt's of the day are trying to do to help us I feel for India and see the abject sorrow that is befalling that country of other isolated places like P.N.G and South Africa we do not hear so much about them now.

    Ovidio you are correct get as much quality time with your parents as you can it is precious for peace of mind myself being a tear away and selfish never went back home just stayed in the country with a rare visit home every now and then like for 5 years I never contacted any of my family they never knew where I was.
    Now the things I could have said and done are to late by far and being on the end of a phone being told by your brother dad's gone is about as hollow a feeling as it can get so take the time as in all of the world we are only ever given one set of parents who raised you as best they could with what they had.
    I know sometimes at home when we were all there 4 kids that food was a scarce commodity as dad was TPI our shop really never was a good source of income even though it was open 363 days of the year 7 till 7 with mum also working as a cleaner at nights just so we had something, I learned like we all did to appreciate what you were given when you received it.

    Stay safe people.
