It's disappointing that Linux Australia's primary volunteers didn't consider your proposal more thoughtfully, isn't it? There are two individuals I know, both adults, who are going through cancer treatment that suppresses their immune systems. Those individuals are still obliged to stay home almost entirely, and when I interact with their respective spouses, it is top-most in my mind that our interactions could cause accidental tragic loss. The risks are fading at a gratifying clip here in the San Francisco Bay Area. (See 'nowcast' link on https://calcat.covid19.ca.gov/ for the California good news including my home county, San Mateo County.) Also, it's expected that U.S. Food and Drug Administration will grant an Emergency Use Authorization inside a fortnight for giving the Pfizer jab to children age 5-12, which should also help immensely. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-vaccines-children-october-gottlieb-face-the-nation/ My best wishes to Vic., for smoother sailing, too. > The Linux community is prone to extremism.

Locally, I've worked out how to meaningfully, positively vet proof of full vaccination I'm requiring for in-person (outdoor) LUG events. I note tht Vic. participtes in the Services Australia methods for showing such proof; https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/subjects/getting-help-during-coronavirus-covid-19/covid-19-vaccinations/what-types-proof-there-are California implements a similar system (alongside the very common and, regrettably, sometimes forged paper 'vaccination card' from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention = CDC). http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/conspire/2021-September/011693.html http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/conspire/2021-September/011697.html _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
