They say complacency is one of the things that enabled the Indian situation to get out of control, and it'll get us if the virus gets a jump.

Yep, so we all need to get vaccinated when we can.
I don't think India went for herd immunity, just reckon they got slack too quickly. Mind you, I really can't see how you would close down India with so many people needing to leave the house to earn enough to eat. Very difficult situation with so many people and so many people struggling to survive.

Large-scale vaccination equals herd immunity. I’m sure your acquaintance didn’t mean this but the quickest way to achieve herd immunity is through vaccination. The terms are not mutually exclusive.
Yes, she was proposing that we just let people get it version of herd immunity

Zero daily coronavirus deaths in England for only second time since pandemic began
New research suggests Britain’s world-leading vaccine rollout slashes the risk of dying from COVID-19 by up to 97 per cent.
and you're supposed to be wearing a mask when you enter and exit the MCG, but no one does. and no one enforces it. but the slackness on public transport does my head in. It’s like everyone has forgotten last year.
Good news out of the UK on the AZ vaccine as well particularly the strains they have circulating.Get it inya’.

Yeah, I saw a report that the AZ vaccine gives 80% lower death risk. This is based on UK situation where they have vaccinated millions so decent numbers to go by. Also quoting 1 in 250,000 blood clots so the risk is likely lower than what has been quoted to date (around 1 in 100,000 has been the figure I've seen).

Crap about the new case. At least they don't appear to have visited 101 shops and venues like most of the cases we've seen lately. Likely caught it in hotel quarantine and tested negative when positive.
Let's hope this is contained and we don't have to increase restrictions again.

At what point do the Feds realise that Hotel Quarantine is not sufficient to contain an airborne disease? Any outbreak now lies squarely at their feet.
Agree
They should've taken responsibility and built fit for purpose quarantine facilities 12 months ago when it was known that air conditioners spread covid.
When the back log of Australians have returned home, the quarantine facilities could then be used to quarantine overseas students and the like.
I was on the train directly after the one he caught on the way in.
Fortunately got a lift home, otherwise I probably would have been on that one home too.
My mum is undergoing medical treatment and I was dogsitting at her house (Altona) last friday. It was always our intention to leave early if the game was one-sided and catch the 10:20 craigieburn train back to Essendon (I would get off at North melbourne to change trains and my partner would continue on to Essendon). Luckily for us, we just missed it.
I am all for wearing masks, I wore one today as I have started to get a cold. I even wore it while getting dinner ready, otherwise I would have had to stop every 10 seconds or so to clean up.
I think it should be mandatory if you are not feeling well. Wasn't last year a record low number for the normal flu? I mean, granted iso and social distancing would have helped but, crap, I just remembered I have to do something.....

I have gone to 6 X footy, 2 X races since start of March. Mask wearing enroute on my line 80-90 %. On way home 20%. PhD in that.
I would add that I spent 90 minutes in the Cricketers pre game at a density no lower than the train home which is under 30 mins. No less likely to catch it there, though they did make sure we at least waved our phones at QR code in the way in,
