No Jab, No Booze! By James Reed
Now things are really gutting serious when there is a threat to the booze supply, as such.
“A peak hospitality body has suggested pubs should be able to refuse customers and not employ staff who aren't vaccinated.
The report commissioned by Australian Hotels Association South Australia said instead of having space restrictions, pubs should be allowed to admit 'a "quarantined" set of people.'
Covid restrictions on the hospitality industry cost the state $100million and wasted up to $10million worth of food.
Hotels, bars and pubs should be able to refuse entrance and employment to people who haven't got the jab, the report by the SA Centre for Economic Studies said.
'[H]oteliers in future [could be able] to restrict entry by unvaccinated clients and not to have to employ unvaccinated staff,' said University of Adelaide Associate Professor and author of the report Michael O'Neil.
'Hotels would then have a "quarantined" set of staff which might assist the smaller bars and hotels to operate compared with a blanket restriction via space per person.'
South Australia underwent a three day 'hard' lockdown in November 2020, which ended early after it was revealed someone had lied about their whereabouts.
The report said the lockdown and restrictions including reducing capacity in the weeks after cost $100million in sales and 12,500 jobs.
'There would appear to have been no justification in closing country pubs and venues and banning weddings and funerals on 19 November last year,' said Dr O'Neil.
South Australian Premier Stephen Marshall has defended the lockdown, saying it 'avoided a catastrophic situation.'”
Yes, but what will be the real catastrophe will be the boozers and clubbers not being able to get smashed out of their minds, without first being loaded up with the Coviddy vaccine. But, I guess once one has been jabbed, killing brain cells by pickling in alcohol, will be chicken feed!
