Given that’s a whole seven days earlier than is being implied - will the NSW Government honour it’s road map?

Rates slowed right down after Gladys announced that everything will be open first December no matter vaccination status.
I would have moved it to the end of Jan next year but that may not sit well with many.
I hear that quite a few will not bother with the second dose either.
While ACT is at near 96% first dose and just behind us for second doses we have been hovering at late 80's for several days now and just ticked into the 90's for first doses.
I really think we will struggle to hit 93% of those over 16.
Those 12 to 16 are apparently at 60% vaccination, and pretty soon they will be doing 5-12 year olds.
Globally there are only a hand full of countries that have gone over 80% fully vaccinated.
UAE @ 84%, Portugal @ 86%, Malta @ 82%, Iceland @ 81%.
Those figures may be a few days old. The site also says it's for 'total' population.
Spain is at just under 80% - or 37 million. I did some rough calculations compared to total population and it seems the percentages are for everyone, not just adults.
In terms of total population I think we have just passed 50% a few days ago.
Pleasingly, the news is getting better every day. Numbers are on the decline and more countries are opening up to allow visitors in and with fewer restrictions.
Hopefully that trend continues.
