Our premier has been talking up the vaccines big and promising an end to lockdown for some time now. I see a bit of the news yesterday and there is a record number of new cases - over 1500 in NSW and hey who needs lockdown, it's been lifted the same day. where's the sense in that.
where's the sense in expecting any sense.
at the moment it's pretty okay though, lockdown has been opened up but the borders are still closed and all the social distancing and maximum visitors etc is still in place. with any hope we won't go to opening the floodgates here because border closures work so successfully. It's Sydney and Melbourne that have significant numbers of cases. So far, touch wood, the rest of the country has been able to contain any outbreaks with contact tracing and quarantining. we are all gloomy about the prospects though, thinking it will spread everywhere here too.
there was this news item, a woman had got on a coach to go from Sydney to Kempsey and by the time she got there she was met with a van and they took her and her two children, the other passengers and the driver off to quarantine for two weeks. I keep wondering how did they know she was positive? oh I suppose someone ratted on her.
