How to get Covid-19 vaccine: Daniel Andrews’ tough hotel quarantine call

Just over a month ago my elderly mother-in-law, who lives in Japan, had a fall and suffered a brain haemorrhage. Whilst being treated for that she had a heart attack. She's been in a coma pretty much ever since and no family member has been able to speak to her. My wife was told that her mother's chances of survival were 50/50 at best so she sought emergency approval to leave Australia which was granted and her employer gave her time off to go there. She's now doing two weeks of quarantine in Japan, will spend a week with her mother and family, and then back to Australia to do another two weeks in quarantine. So, four weeks of quarantine in 5 weeks. She's also aware that her mother could die before she gets out of quarantine over there, which everyone is hoping won't happen, or after she comes back, in which case she won't be able to attend the funeral. We have multiple kids at home, one of whom is doing VCE, so I'm now also solo parenting whilst working 60 - 90 hours a week. The costs of flights and the hotel quarantine back here are not insignificant either. And now Daniel Andrews is saying that blocking my wife from coming back would be "inconvenient":

“Yes there’d be inconvenience in less people being able to return home … a lot of that would be heartbreaking in many ways,” Mr Andrews said on Tuesday morning.

It'd be a great deal more than inconvenient. Apart from separating the family until - what 2025? when we have 80% coverage? - my wife would lose her job. It really is unconscionable.

BTW, she's had her first shot of Astra-Zeneca so is as vaccinated as most other Australians at present.

She should be top of the list as is an obvious compassion case, and should be miles ahead of anyone leaving or returning from overseas to conduct business meetings, leisure activities, etc.

Here's where we stand among developed countries on fully vaccinating our people (you may need glasses).

Glad you like it Des. My brain hurts this morning, I think I have Guinness virus -21. Looking for a hairy dog.

"Case fatality Rates" - hope this shows up as it's displayed... Australia, UK, Israel, India and a few others... Israel most jabbed...

COVID-19 Data Explorer - Our World in Data

Looks like jabbs were all done around mid to late November, for the lines are flattened / parallel thereafter. ?

Maybe this one is useful showing number of jabs...
COVID-19 Data Explorer - Our World in Data

- Great fun rolling over the individual countries on RH side to highlight them .... can see their position clearly.

Oh, almost forgot. Delta IS more infectious and has dominated it's ancestors ..- see releveant UK chart, around 90% in June 21. 60+% in Oz.
Good news is.... it's obeying the "Virology 101" Rules, 'Greater infectivity = Fewer homicides...'. Ebola illustrates this, as it previously killed 80 to 90%, but it's latest (?) was noticeably lower, estimated at c 55%

Seychelles ? Very high rate of needles in arms, allegedly high % of Chinese made - Heard they'd experienced a massive uptick in new infections since being jabbed.
