Lockdown in Sydney to go until at least August

[TheMaestro]

As the other thread got closed we need somewhere to discuss the predicament we are in, politics aside. Some bros were saying it will go until September??? Shops to open in November???? I think this is crazy. 疯

I reckon realistically you are looking at a full or partial lockdown until at least the end of August.
But there could be another break out and lockdown again after that.
Until they get quarantine and vaccination right, this will keep on happening.
And as for open international borders at least June 2022.

vaccinations is a joke. They don't even have spots for people to vaccinate even if they want to.
Currently booked out until October

A poll showed that only about 50% of the population is willing to get the jab.
the rest saying no

and about 6-7% already have.

at this rate. mid next year we get 50% vaxed. But that's still not enough.

and that's with no new variants. and no booster needed (which pfizer says may be needed every 6 months)

What a lot of crap. There is plenty of AZ but the wimps op out and wait for Pfizer.

1. No longer recommended for people under 60

2. It's only 81% effective vs 92% Pfizer

https://www.health.gov.au/news/atagi...tbreak-setting

Earlier trials of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca suggested that there is a trend towards a higher vaccine efficacy with a longer interval between the two doses of this vaccine. The protective efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 was 55% (95% confidence intervals [CI]: 33, 70%) when the two doses were given 4 weeks apart, compared to 81% (95% CI: 60, 91%) when given 12 weeks apart.8

81% (3 months apart) goes down to 55% if you do your second dose at 1 months.

Vs pfizer which is 3 weeks apart.


Can't blame people for not wanting the shitter vaccine.

And you ain't getting your immunity for Astra even if you get it shot today. Need to wait 3 months before your second dose. and still less immunity.

Any doctor will authorise it if you don't have any underlying issues. AZ is better than nothing. Plus the next batches of Pfizer will have a warning of possible heart muscle inflammation. I would rather the very slight risk of a blood clot than something messing about with my heart. No problem but each to their own. BTW, you need to update your facts

I'm six weeks to the day before my second AZ dose. To overcome what vitamin said above, after that I am going to get in the queue for a moderna or pfizer single dose top up. My immune system will be killing it after that. What do you think of my strategy?

Agree with you rooter bro.
This is worst than the first lockdown and we haven’t reached the peak yet before it flattens. So atleast a month is for granted .

and you are bang on the international travel . First everyone will get vaccinated and only then they will think about opening it ..
the itch has to wait for now ….

Scratch it or apply Tiger Oil Balm.

My prediction is early August before this lockdown finishes and for a very good reason. Stay home and stay safe.

Too bad you don't do what you say.

Nah, haven't been out since tighter restrictions last Friday. It's getting pretty serious now.

[Oddfellow]

I think the horse has bolted, it will take a while to get the numbers low enough to open up again. Think of all the money you save I guess!
