Especially when borders open

They're just kicking the can down the road. Public Health, particularly KC, don't seem to imagine a time when they can't wrap their arms around the public to protect citizens from themselves. The Ruby Princess was an unmitigated disaster and it appears they've become terrified of making another wrong turn.

What'll they do when contemplating opening up to tourists is hard to predict. Insisting that they are fully vaxxed is one thing but QR codes, testing, isolation is another.

Maybe future travel to Australia will only be for the super wealthy or the politically connected.

I feel for you man.

I agree, I just read maybe 2 or 3 lines and just skip it.

Most of my good friends who live in the south west have the same attitude towards the vaccine and Covid.

Most of us did party drugs for decades but a vaccine, no that's so bad.

Even my 16 year old daughter had her first shot a few weeks ago.

Just let them be, no point wasting time. I still love my friends and still talk to them, just not about the vaccine or Covid.

I'm not sure if I'll be visiting them any time soon though.

I would ask him to communicate to me in writing. That would keep him busy.

You might well be surprised to know that I don't talk to anybody on a flight. The vast majority don't have the intellectual capacity to keep up. This appears to be the case here.....

On the last flight to Bangkok I sat next to a lovely Finnish girl. As per my policy I never engage but just before disembarking she asked if I knew where the self storage was at the airport. I did know the answer (does that not surprise you) and we spent the next 4 hours on what you might call a fleeting "date" before she had to get the connection flight out. Sometimes being the strong, silent, sophisticated type pays off.

It would certainly make those seats on the same flight a bit cheaper!

We can see what's happening overseas. Delta rips like wildfire through any society that reopens. We'll all get it sooner or later, it's a matter of time. And there are new strains coming...

The first rounds of vaccination are essential for giving us a degree of immunity to this new disease none of us have experienced. (Anti-vaxxers are going to do it real hard, they'll suffer badly for their ignorance/obstinacy.)

But it will become endemic, similar to the flu where we all have some resistance from past exposure, yet still need annual vaccines.

So in the same way that there's no "flu passport", the case for a COVID passport will fade, that's my prediction.

Lockdowns, border closures, mass testing and screening, mass vaccination campaigns, vaccine passports are all good measures in the short term for minimising harm, but in the long run covid will just become part of the landscape like colds and flus.
People will learn to live with it and occasionally some will die with it

It will be interesting to see what happens in Western Australia.

Stories floating around that the WA govt is talking about vac passports being required for all manner of things. Sporting events, concerts, hospitality venues and many more.

I've got a brother that lives in Perth. Haven't seen him for 2yrs. We're both fully vaccinated but the way the WA govt is keeping their border shut it could be quite a while before we can share a beer and have a chat.

McGowan already said they probably won't open until after Easter next year...
