this RSV immunity debt crisis in NZ is frightening because it actually does kill little kiddies (unlike Covid)

Would be good to know when that finding was made and the qualifications of the person who made it.
Interesting watching the finger pointing between governments and their medical advisors at the moment.

Wembley Stadium, London - 30 June 2021
And Wembley Stadium, London - 11 July 2021
Very mask compliant, very draconian.
I'm guessing there's a bridge somewhere that's being overrun by goats.

Wembley was a special exemption under previously agreed to EUFA rules:
“Face coverings must be worn upon entry to the stadium and in all indoor areas. You can take it off ONLY when seated in view of the pitch," says the guide.
Fans have to show either proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test result to be uploaded 48 hours before the entry into the stadium.”
otherwise the masking is strict in the UK

Fantastic compliance?
Evidence of a draconian lockdown?

From their data for the 18th July, 48,161 new daily cases, with 28 deaths. Corrected for population (66.65v25.36) gives 18,325 new cases and 10 deaths for an Australian "equivalent".
And yet everyone is up in arms about, what? 120 new cases total here? Puh-lease....
Oh, and that's with 87.9% of their adult population having had their first dose and 68.3% having had their second dose!

We will see if this bloke is wrong or right. I have more interest what will happen in the next 2 weeks in the UK than here in Melbourne.
I have enjoyied watching the Australian Media (and Pruners) pass judgement on the UK’s opening up today, particularly the ABC.
The vaccine rollout here has been like watching old people shag, and the state premiers have repeatedly prioritised politics over mental health or business. Even now the nation is a hermit of North Korean magnitude and still has no credible blueprint for opening up international borders.
But hey, let’s judge the actions of other nations that have managed to vaccinate a meaningful proportion of their populations and are attempting to move on.

Not sure how many times it has to be explained that being vaccinated doesn’t mean you can’t get COVID.
What is happening in the UK right now is extremely encouraging. Cases are back through the roof but deaths and hospitalisations are ACCEPTABLY low. (Standing by for comment saying “what if it was your mother or father?”)
When Australia follows suit with a suitably vaccinated population we have a lot to look forward to towards the end of the year.

but the fed and state governments (and the media) need to stop with the case numbers. They WILL go up, and the public need to understand this.

What you guys do not seem to understand is that Australia does not have the UK's vaccination rates and is not likely to any time soon but you ALL speak as though the best thing all round would be to throw the gates wide open right now.
Three more weeks and I and all of my close family and friends will have had our second A-Z. After that, you can open up whatever you like - just make sure that it's NSW first.
You might get a job with Rex for a while.
