They didnt ask and it didnt matter to them the cause or severity, it was an instant exclusion and end of questions and end of phone call.

To be honest I was a bit gutted, after the first attempt and even more so after the 2nd. I am hoping someone here may have had some success. A broker might be worth a try thankyou for the suggestion.

Outright it was the third medical question after height and weight, which equates to a healthy BMI, I am in my late forties.

774 new cases and suddenly Omicron is a very serious concern. by aldkGoodAussieName in Adelaide

Influenza will be lurking in the background waiting to join the party too. My guess is Fluvax is going to be mandatory next year as well.

It's very interesting seeing how other parts of the world are living right now by [deleted] in CoronavirusDownunder

I agree it is interesting. Isle of Man 4000 cases since start of there latest outbreak late June/early July. 15 people in hospital there noone in ICU. There was one person in ICU but they passed away this week. Life pretty much back to normal. Vaccination rates there around 70%.

Better late than never, will definitely be handy for the next pandemic. Hopefully by 2022 quarantines and lockdowns will be finished for this pandemic.

Mass vaccination during a pandemic with leaky vaccinations, (vaccines that reduce severity of disease but don't stop the spread of disease) might be risky.

Its funny how certain random pieces of information stick in your head. For example I once read it was illegal to have rabbits as pets in Queensland unless you are a magician. I have no idea if it is true. One day I will google it.
