I'm no fan of this government, believe me, but I think some here are being a bit disingenuous.
They acted too late last year and let the virus spread, they again acted too late shutting down access to/from asia earlier this year when it was obvious that things were going wrong. They came under intense criticism from all sides and now, when they are finally showing caution, you are still not happy. If this vaccine program stalls or shows any signs of failing after we open the borders again, we are back to square one. This time last year many airlines and industry pundits were suggesting that we won't be back to normal for three to five years. That is looking very optimistic at the moment.
Dammed if they do, dammed if they don't!
