Why do cops feels the need to chase people into risky situation rather than de-escalate or use other means? Why do cops feels the need to confront people with guns. Do they perhaps feel it is a contest, them against criminal? Why do cops feel the need to eschew policing and detective work in favour...

I think Lopeti Timani played a test or two.

Fardy played lock at the Brumbies a fair bit but was considered a bit small for a test lock.

Wrong on so many levels. An informal vote is the most active way of voicing your discontent. It is actively participating in the process and putting the politicians on notice that you are not happy with their behaviour and performance.

The UK term would be a Lombard loan It's genuinely something I'd never heard of, hence the question Depending on context, is one of two things 1.

Not sure if correct but supposedly the clotting with AZ is the opposite (platelet count) than the Pill-type of clotting.
Regardless, is it not something they could test for before jabbing you? Or is it too hard?

Not too sure - perhaps it's so new, it's not known yet

Pat the Ex Mat

What I don't understand is the risk is higher from taking the pill. And its because you have some underlying condition? Could they not test for that and give those people the Pfizer one?
