also, i note we have stopped pointing at the UK/USA as a potential outcome now that they are absolutely smashing their vaccine rollouts.
it's refreshing to see our current record is on a par with Kazakhstan

What i really hate is i have started to sound like the swivel-headed conspiracy loons. The mask rules were a fucking joke, so i sounded anti-mask. The covid risk in Australia is minimal, so i sound like a "it's just the flu" guy.
No, i am just someone who likes to think they have a decent handle on risk, and would like more discussion framed around acceptable risk levels. Rather than "any risk is absolute".Amen.

Re the India travel thing.
I know it's big numbers, but what is the rate of infection? Is it worse than elsewhere?
Or is it fairly 'standard' in terms of % population infected and just amplified because 1.6 Billion? (And relative lack of medical facilities.)
Not sure where to look for info.
If the latter I really don't see the need for total travel ban on top of quarantine.
If it's that bad and every second person in India has it increase the quarantine measures.

You won't find that information. India's official numbers have plateaued out at what the infrastructure can count and what local and national government is prepared to admit.
I know that the NZ government put in their travel ban based on % of travellers arriving at MIQ infected.

very light NSW restrictions.
Now i await Dear Leader and the Deputy Cuck to declare Sydney New New Delhi and to execute anyone who has been to NSW in the past 5 years on site.

Are you Gladys media guy? She spent 10% of her press conference explaining the restrictions and then 90% whining about the premiers in other states,

it's loony rant time but
yet another "scare" where someone has a super-contagious virus mutation who has been all over the fucking shop before he gets tested.
And a few days of testing reveals...
no community spread. So far after about 25,000 tests in a couple of days, the only person who has tested positive is his fucking wife.
Change. The. Response. In. The. Face. Of. Evidence.
And by change the response i look directly at Qld Health officials. Putting someone on 14 days of lockdown because they happen to have visited the same place as a known positive is overkill in the most extreme. There is a more than likely chance you will be in lockdown despite low low risk longer than there will be restrictions where you have come from. That makes no fucking sense.
Even good old NZ freezing the flights looks hugely overblown.

@nta said in Coronavirus - Australia:
Have registered with NSW Health. No idea what vaccine I'll get because I'm not in this phase.
Are you 40-49? Should be Pfizer. Funny that they had the media release about 40-49s a couple of weeks ago now yet I don't know of anyone who registered at that time that have been offered the vaccine yet.
