Is Vic going into another lockdown?
Ian G:
I get my second AZ jab in a couple of weeks, no problems with the first.
Notice the Gov has secured another 85 million Pfizer shots for delivery next year, offering a third booster shot to everyone regardless of which jabs you have had previously.
Will be interesting to see how the cases occur from the rally in NSW yesterday !!!

Yer, I think this Delta variant is just a whole new level. All the other states (except NSW) are taking this variant far more serious than the last, which we learnt from experience, was not as transmissable as originally thought, and just imposing masks at all times seemed to curb it for the most part from stranger to stranger transmission. This Delta one but... like damn, its jumping from random to random with the blow of the wind it seems.
NSW not having to wear masks outdoors is just nuts. If you told me I didn't have to wear a mask when outside, I wouldn't be. And I don't. I enjoy walking my dogs each day without a mask. I wear one now and put up with it because I walk past lots of people and Delta is out of the box. When they say I don't have to, I won't, but I'll still be walking past all these random strangers. At no point do I stop when approaching a random stranger, put on my mask because I can't social distance for a few seconds, then remove it after the fact. This was fine for the normal variant, but does not seem so for Delta.
NSW is crazy nuts and IMHO I think they're going to keep getting worse results until they take this far more seriously and lock down hard. If it does go down based on current restrictions, I think a lot of luck was present, but still think people are going to be locked down longer than they need to be as a result of the more laxed restrictions Sydney are within compared to how every other state handles Delta outbreaks.
As one living in Melbourne and having to endure all the lockdowns we have, I honestly feel for those in Sydney enduring this. I really hope it doesn't get worse for them and extend their lockdown time, as we were pretty stir crazy after 4 months lockdown.

I despise how Americans call everything a war. Argh! But damn... this is a nasty variant and the more data they release seems to just show how bad it is.
