Back up a bit. Lets get back to the objective. That is to get to this so called 70/80%. When that happens everyone has a differing opinion of who and what opens. Scotty himself said, we treat this like the flu. If that's the case, then that means we go back to living 2019 style. Pollies will squabble over this as we know. This comes to another question? One death is way to many at the moment with present lockdowns, what number will they accept when we get to 80%.
Just one good thing came out of yesterday. That is, Gladys said "we have to learn to live with the virus and we have to look at hospitalisations numbers instead of cases."
I think today they pretty much announced what is going to happen, hit 70%, venues that are vulnerable to virus spread, pubs, Gyms, restaurants can open with proof of vaccination required to attend. Businesses will be fine because one, they can trade and two, it gives them some control over having sick loss of productivity. I think that's pretty much saying what is going to happen for at least the next year or few. If it works out in NSW and people accept it, then Vic, Qld and SA will follow. WA, who knows, McGowan was given a clear mandate in this years election what they do, forget them, that's up to West Aussies to sort out for themselves, let the rest of Australia deal with their problems first.
