Feel sorry for the teachers who are fully vaccinated, but are in a room full of kids for 8hrs a day. Just wear a mask if you decide to fuck an ml/wl

It's pointless to look at case numbers moving forward as the media will be given hospitalisation numbers instead. I think there will be a drop in case numbers that correlate to the number of people fully vaccinated- essentially if you're feeling ok, and are fully vaccinated with a slight cough, are you going to go and get tested? Most likely not unless your symptoms are ridiculously bad.
Exactly.

Adding to this; The regime of checking in with vaccination check will be used for surveillance. If cases (which are really positive tests) rise in certain places then it's really easy to generate a list of "casual contacts" who will be required to test. This will not only screen for other positives (unlikely) but will reveal unvaccinated people checking in to non compliant shops. What action, if any, will take place is unclear but it will increase the data throughput for subsequent analysis.

The clever part of all this is that no one will ever know where the cases or the exposure sites are.
