THE VIRUS 2020 - the good, the bad, and the ugly

hmmm... As you have said this I have just realised that it may be that I have just not tuned in totally to all the political waffle,but "opening up" can have many definitions. It can mean no more lockdowns, it can mean no more working from home, it can mean going back to normal (no masks, no social distancing). it can mean traveling and having tourists. Have we had it defined what is meant by opening up? Or are the politicians using this lose term and then we are all talking at cross purposes depending on how we define it, and whether that makes sense to us? Because some or all of those things may sit right for each person.

I really want to be able to travel, but some of that is not entirely within the Australian governments control - it will depend on the country you want to travel to and thier restrictions. If we are travelling to a country we can probably ony do so if we are opening our boarders to tourists from there too, which the govt then have to work out if they are just going to allow these people to bring covid in, or are they going into iso first? If the latter when will we have better facilities built for that than the faulty system we currently have?

I am not in support of dropping everything. Restrictions still have purpose as the pandemic goes on but I worry Australia is going to fall behind economically if we remain as cut off as we are currently. No community transmission was great/worth protecting but I'm doubting it's achievable anymore with Delta. By early next year I think non-essential international travel to and from Australia for the vaccinated with pre-departure testing would be a reasonable start.

Spreads about twice as fast and may evade vaccines.

Read the tweet you posted again. It mutates nearly twice as fast. It could be more infectious. Don't misrepresent what was said.

What was their situation? Did they live together? What are the restrictions about the outdoors?

Apparently they did live together, or at least self isolated together. Not sure about outdoor restrictions, but surely if they were on their property they shouldn't have been fined?

Apparently they are going to fight it in court. Good on them, standing up to those oppressive jackbooted goose stepping thugs with badges. They, along with the protesters, are heroes imo.
