The vaccine is just starting to be rolled out across Australia.  There are a number of different vaccines, at the moment the frontline health and quarantine workers are the ones getting the Pfizer vaccine. It is the one that has to be stored at super cool temperatures. A batch has already been lost in Melbourne as they were not sure what temperature it was stored at. An a doctor administered 4 times the dose to two aged care residents, turns out he hadn’t done his training. Apart from that, all going smoothly apart from the anti-vaxxers demonstrating every now and then.

On the plus side I think all borders across all the States may actually be open at the moment! Although really who knows. NSW has not had a community transmission case for 40 days – longest record for NSW since the pandemic started. Still lots popping up in hotel quarantine. Although it has been hard to keep up the NSW as Facebook and the Aust Govt are fighting and they shut down all news sites on FB in one fell swoop.

We only have to wear facemasks on public transport, but we still need to sign in with the Service HSW app. Although at a pub the other night they did a pop check and only 10% of people signed in, people apparently just point their phone to the QR code but don’t bother clicking on the two things to sign in. Definitely a sense of complacency creeping in. This is how it was just before Xmas then we had an outbreak and lockdown.

Qantas is now saying not March but October they will start international travel again but who knows what the rest of the world will be like by then. You’d be brave to book an overseas flight for this year I reckon.

The memes have definitely dropped off but still a few around.
