@nta said in Coronavirus - Australia:
Cumberland and Blacktown LGAs now subject to worker lockdown measures like the others.
Even when we defeat covid they should stay in lockdown for the benefit of Sydney.

Downvote!

well, the cancellation on my amazing but expensive Mt Maunganui accommodation for Christmas is the end of October. 8 week pause (at this stage) takes me to the end of September.
i was 90% confident i was going a month ago. Now i am 50/50
I think, given my two trips to Sydney, and Christmas, i just need to stop planning things.
someone want to remind me how great we've got it again?

@mariner4life you are still breathing right
But yeah, Aus & NZ are far too far down this path now that they have to stay the course until they vaccinate everyone and then look at opening to the world!

the pessimistic part of me says, even with teh vaccine, when (if) we open up, there are going to be a bunch of cases, and a bunch of people are going to die.
and that will be sad on two fronts. sad that people have died. and sad we have put ourselves through this for not much tangible benefit.
i hope i am very wrong.

@canefan Don't know about OZ. Until this week NZ definitely had a supply issue but their are also embarrassing reports of GP's and pharmacists ready to go but haven't been accredited yet. So now have supply but not enough people to administer
-
@mariner4life as I said the other day, you almost have to make decision and decide if you want to carry on this path, or ramp up vaccination for say 3 months and then do similar to the UK and remove restrictions (with some caveats) and throw caution to the wind
I mean if we threw up our hands now, we'd be like Fiji with it rife and low vaccination numbers.
As others have said, no right or wrong way, even in a decade there will be people discussing which method was the best (assuming the human race hasnt perished by then )

Will they open to the world once fully vaccinated?
I have my worries about Jacinda. -
also, just quietly, every single Australian State Premier can go fuck their own faces.
A bunch of childish, immature finger pointers and i have no time for any of them.
I get the argument that Gladys bought this on herself with her smug shit over the past 6 months or so. But the gleefull trolling from the other fuckwits (who, of god what a surprise, come from the other party) is pretty fucking shit for the people actually affected by all this. She should have shut her mouth then, they should be shutting their mouths now.
this "country" is fucked.
And no, i'm not angry, i'm sad. Sad for my own selfish reasons, sad for dudes like @voodoo and @NTA who look like they have a long road ahead. Sad for my Melbourne dudes like @ACT-Crusader and @Kiwiwomble who are in lockdown again, after what. 6 months worth? Sad for families who can't visit each other. it's all just a bit shit.
but hey, you make a bit of cheap political capital Dan Andrews you fucking hero.
