I would say for sure Leesa requested her profile to be deleted, shame really as she did have some good posts and certainly was very outspoken with some other of her posts, I will miss her contributions to the forum debates.

I'm wondering what numbers will look like in a month?
Nationally it seems to be in the mid 20's, with NSW hovering between 7-10k cases. Much like the flu I'm sure there will soon be statistics available on if a certain month was better or worse than others, or entire years for that matter. Ongoing infections should slowly bring numbers down, as is the vaccination rates. Only spanner in the works will be a new strain. I look forward to the time when getting the Covid jab will be a yearly event that is included in the flu shot. I'm finally heading overseas early next month. The hoops one must jump through at the moment is off putting to many, not to mention the costs and the poor connections for air travel at the moment. I'm already planning another trip in April and early indications are flight costs will near half and more direct flights and faster connections are mostly back.

![]() ![]() So potentially, they can come in as "tourists" but may not be able to do "touristy" stuff whilst in WA. And to make things a bit more complicated, they are citizens, but live and work in the US. They will fly into Melb, and we will all fly to WA. Are they then counted as locals or overseas tourists? ![]() Freaken heck...makes it all too hard and risky. Mr 91% needs a rethink.

Seems McClown has taken a strict interpretation of the new ATAGI "up to date" and "not up to date" guidelines. Right now in WA you are considered fully vaccinated (i know fully vaccinated is not the kosher term now, but makes it easier for this example) and free from restrictions if
I believe in WA you become eligible for your booster 4 months after your second jab and you must have it within the month following that date. If you fail to have it by the end of that 4th month you are now considered unvaccinated and for purposes of internal restrictions you are have your freedoms stripped and non vaccinated restrictions apply. So my understanding to be able to travel to WA domestically you must meet either one of the 2 vaccination status conditions. I expect if they fly into Melbourne then you all fly onto WA they would be, as you, considered domestic travellers and subject to the requirements of the above conditions to enter the state. But if they fly direct to WA they will be allowed into the state but if they don't meet either vaccination condition then they their access and travel will be restricted as if they were unvaccinated. Pretty sh*tty holiday. In my sisters case she had her booster mid January, which was roughly 5 months from her last jab, which was the advice at the time. She's now considered fully vaccinated and restriction free. But if she failed to get the booster she'd be facing restrictions. But I suppose that could possibly all change between now and when your family visit. Incidentally Dad and I flew to Melbourne last weekend for my cousin's wedding and to see some friends. When Uncle Dad was making noise about requiring boosters Dad and I both got them in case. Turns out it was a complete waste of time and worry... ![]() Our vaccination status was not checked for the entire trip. Not at the airport in Qld or Melb or getting on either flight. Not even at the wedding, which packed about 135 people in a small "chapel" and then into the reception tent. No masks, spacing or density limits at the wedding. After expecting the draconian worst at both ends it was surprisingly and happily just like any other trip. ![]() |

He had to provide entry for residents that were currently locked out of the state and for compassionate entry. The site is a little confusing. But the actual page you're looking for is: https://www.wa.gov.au/government/ann...y-3-march-2022 Sister also told me today his internal approval rating has dropped 30%. All of it since his last backflip. She thinks he won't renege on this one because he will loose all popularity and people will be looking for his head on a stick. |

![]() Like I said, the page you linked is poorly presented. ![]() The "WA’s border will open from 12.01am Thursday 3 March 2022" is not a title, its a link as I circled. The link takes you here... To the page titled and published a couple of days ago. Quote:
![]() Link, not title, circled in red on the left and publish date in January on the right. Even the info in the page gives dates from 5/2 where he slightly loosened border allowing the exceptions you've posted. And if that doesn't do it for you, compare the "Safe Transition Plan" documents for the 5/2 to the new one on 3/3. Then: Quote:

We're about to experience the vagaries of International travel and the various government stupidities.
As of today, the UK has dropped the requirement for a 2-day test on arrival so all that is required is to fill in the (electronic) passenger locator form within 72 hours of departure. Simple. Coming back is not simple. The current requirement is for a negative PCR test within 72 hours of departure or a negative RAT within 24 hours of departure plus completion of a digital passenger declaration inside 72 hours of departure (but only after you have your test result). Then when you get to Australia, you have to abide by the rules applicable in your State which in Victoria means another PCR or RAT within 24 hours of landing and quarantine at home until you get a negative test. Basically because the two levels of government don't cooperate, you effectively could end up having to complete two tests (at your own expense) in a little over 24 hours!

Mask requirements have essentially been dropped for the public at large in Victoria from this Friday 25/2 and in Queensland from next Friday 4/3.
https://www.news.com.au/national/vic...12f51b032d889f https://www.news.com.au/national/que...a4e35faf89f047 There are still requirements in at risk venues and situations such as public transport, taxis, planes, airports hospitals and aged and disability care, etc, etc. However, if I read this correctly, Victoria will still require workers in hospitality, retail and the like to wear masks while working, while the people they are serving aren't required. Then this gem in Victoria... Quote:

I'm curious to know why we have to wait until Friday though. Why not today? Whats the added risk? ![]() I see our news sites have stopped reporting on covid numbers altogether. Pandemic ended? Interesting to hear Dr Norman Swan's segment yesterday. Basically saying we need to remember history. The 1918 pandemic caused more devastation in the 2nd global wave. It feels like Omnicron might be drawing the first global wave to an "end".....will history repeat itself? England has abolished all isolation requirements, even for those infected.

Hey Russ, I think you've accidentally replicated the Vic figure for NSW as well. I think NSW should be 8752.
