If the current rate is maintained (not increased, just maintained) NSW hits 80% around 10 October.

QF seems to be positioning itself to kick off not long after 80%. I’d expect them to start pressuring both Gladys and ScoMo for international flights ex NSW by early next year. If the rest of the country remains closed to NSW I reckon both Gladys and ScoMo will go for it.

Covid is coming. The Doherty model shows cases increasing into the thousands. NSW is just starting at the 800 mark whereas WA will start at 0.
