A note on NSW demographics, the 5-14 age group is about 1M so if the state government’s next rabbit-out-a-hat is to require this group 70-80% fully vaccinated, we definitely won’t be backing off the thumbscrews any time soon.

Further to the comments above, the UK has recorded 1.12M cases in the 37 days since 'freedom day' at an average of 30.1k/day with 3,146 deaths (and ~1,500 yet to come) which is a CMR of 0.41% or a bit above the current level.

Was just going to ask the same question.
Sure 80% vaccinated, but what % of deaths were also vaccinated? Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Sadly it is going to be as much who is dying as how many. If the under 60 age bracket is 1000 deaths and the rest (I will be with that bracket in a few years) in the older community, I think that the country will battle on. Only if it is 1000 20 year olds we will see a different outcome. There is no way the general community will put up with another year of lockdown, we did what we had to, but those protests will grow to huge proportions and governments will fall if it continues. Vic has an election late next year, no way we will go into that under lockdown.

Israel, once a global leader in coronavirus containment, has one of the highest daily infection rates in the world. Nearly one in every 150 people in Israel today has the virus. An average of nearly 7,500 people are infected per day — double the infection rate of two weeks ago. The new surge has Israeli leaders scrambling to bring back mask mandates and restrict gatherings as case rates come close to the worst days of last winter. Globally, scientists are studying infection rates among Israel's vaccinated to understand how the vaccine holds up over time. The findings have not been encouraging, setting off a wave of booster panic around the world. Prepare yourself for never ending lockdowns |

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cornwall-58318695 Interesting read here on younger ones. and this doesn't make for much good reading at all re either vaccine lasting penetration and bits on varied countries..... https://www.theguardian.com/world/li...-beating-delta I hardly do web surfing and this reminded me why. No more.

I've got the news on and it is just unbelievable how crazy the debate about masks in schools is in the US.
The kids don't give a **** about wearing a mask, they just want to go to school and see their mates. It's the parents making it a big deal for whatever ****ing reason |

I still think lockdowns are an effective tool done properly at the start of an outbreak ( extremely difficult with delta) but you need the people onboard with it were all still learning and getting better at it ....businesses are adapting organising online orders etc .....sure were going to have to open up after vaccinating and in NSW that's really the only option they have but knowledge is the key and the longer you can delay it the more we learn by other countries examples If you use the UK and USA as models to follow your heading down a slippery slope because they've both made some pretty horrendous blunders ....I think time is an allie and the longer we can keep safe the better .....get used to local holliday's and wait for the technology to evolve

So it says on the Vic website that walk ins are accepted for aged care/disability workers at some sites. I would assume for Pfizer being they can't give az without a GP consult
What's stopping someone just walking in and saying they are? Asking for a friend of course. |

Speaking of great diving…. Is it possible to still travel to King Island? Has the plague affected them at all?

Tourism minister must be a member Radio just said that there is no reason why several travel bubbles can't be established once 80% vaccination is achieved. The minister pretty much mentioned every country I did plus a few more. Its bound to happen my friends. After 80% vaccinated rates tapers off so they can't keep us here forever. I'm aiming for an OS holiday in January and it seems it may actually happen. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

50% of GVHealth staff at Shepparton are home isolating hence the need to bring in health workers from other locations and the military
Supermarkets are either closed or opening with significantly reduced hours due to staffing issues 50 people in Shepparton and 16 people in outlying areas now infected. All because some ****er from Glenroy (Melbourne) couldn't stay home -%$#@%^^%$

Now the US elections are over the Conspiracy nutters are having to look elsewhere for their 'news'. The sad part is that some people will believe it.
Australia has fallen – Minister for Health tells parents 24,000 children will be herded into stadium like cattle to get the experimental Covid-19 vaccine. https://dailyexpose.co.uk/2021/08/17...covid-vaccine/ Australia's Terrifying New Vaccination Policy Removes Children From Parental Authority https://web.archive.org/web/20210817...hority-n428238 Australian Government To Seize 24,000 Children, Vaccinate Them Without Parents Present In Massive Stadium https://archive.is/GLpcD#selection-837.0-837.105

Allowing citizens back in would be good enough for me, so I can see my nephew and niece. They were meant to be here now, but cancelled cos their transit through Fiji got canned. What a blessing though, cos they would have been locked down had they been here!

Next whacko theory will be that governments are mandating a secret “vaccination” coating on all new smartphone and tablet screens, that transfers to the bloodstream of the user…
Of course they could deny this, then we know it’s true! Or say “Why would we? We’ve already put antiviral agents in that toilet paper you’ve all been hoarding!”… |

Reports coming through that the Vic health system (not just in Shepparton, Trev) is suffering duress and that the Vic government is planning to bring in healthcare workers from overseas.
PS The latest covid buzzword seems to be 'furlough'. Quote:
