Vic has a road map now, QLD have an idea about when to open their border today now also. If it was not bad enough the federal government had an arbitrary 80% vaccination rate QLD want 90%. QLD currently only 59.3% first dose one could guess it would be well into 2022 before that 90% number is reached, say good by to the xmas rush for all the airlines only so many SY-ML and FiJi flights you can do.
The silver lining in NSW with 81% first dose infection rates have have stabilized over the last two weeks and have even started to indicate a decrease with today being the first time below 1000 with testing rates still high (124650 today) Victoria is on the increase, but, with their increase in vaccination should see the same trend as NSW. This should allow NSW and VIC to be able travel further abroad to other countries for xmas and even Easter.
