The vaccine roll-out is going really slowly....glacial. People feel safe on our isolated island with no COVID. It's obviously ridiculous because we'll never eradicate the virus and so will have to bite the bullet at some point, but closed borders and no COVID is a huge vote winner. Totally fucks the universities though.

"I've never said that SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 virus was designed for human-to-human transmission." I don't know man - she might not have said those words directly, however, she has pretty much said this very thing over and over again...

Serves her right. The Aus govt have just announced that our borders will be closed until mid-2022 so I won't be going to a CCP holiday camp any time soon.

Mid 2022? Is that instead of vaccinating?

Sucks - US has literally more vaccine than they know what to do with, but few Republicans want to take it because -who knows why? - Fauci is a bad man?

If you open a travel corridor with China (who have zero covid, obviously) then you will be sorted.

Perhaps I just should suggest that online? Cheap flights to Xinjiang.
