Is Vic going into another lockdown?

<< < (5/22) > >>

sdouglas:
And also the crop farmers all over the country who rely on transient workers picking their produce.
So then we end up with false food shortages in some areas and good quality fruit and veg rotting on the ground.
And as mentioned above, less money going over the counters of the small shops and pubs in the area.
Having to wear a mask because someone allegedly caught the Rona 400 kms away doesn’t make sense either.
Rant over.

All this and there isn't, and has never been a covid case within 200 kms of us...
Being old farts, we fear we will die of old age before we can travel freely again (dementia BEFORE adventure??)
As the number plates (almost) say "Victoria-the place NOT to be" during 2020/21...

Oh I nearly feel like kin. I'm trying not to giveup with the timing screwing us each time... but its getting to struggle street. We nearly want to give up and just wait for this magic vax number to be reached. Yep... dementia could be first. Wait! What was I saying?

yvesjv:
I have a feeling that until the majority of the population have been vaccinated, there could be a Lockdown just before any major holiday break.

Just checked the Darwin booking site and behold they are finally open as of today.
Booked mine in for the first day at the earliest hour they open.

On the plus side: I hear that after the vaccination, mobile including 5G reception is much better when holding the phone to the ears.
AND you also get a direct line to Bill Gates... Win!

Just after my earlier post having a sook about covid-aborted trips, the Leader of the Opposition and I were crying into our cups of morning tea, but consoled ourselves with the possibility (if the 5 day lockdown only goes for 5 days - ha ha ha....) of getting to the Echuca Blues Festival (we had tickets n accommodation booked).
See how hopeful, positive and still sorta optimistic we are?

Then I read my emails....

Sweet. Fully vaccinated here, but I don't have a 5G phone to test it out. Will have to try. I wonder if my ears become mini antennas!
