Wandering about the country for no valid reason with this delta strain running rampant in NSW and Vic at the moment is most definately wrong and anti social behaviour, What part of that can't you understand??

Most of Victoria is not in lock down.
Most of Victoria is free to travel around most of the state.
NSW has no entry restrictions, for you and I, you can enter NSW if you want to, it might be a long time before WA will let you back though.

No, only Melbourne and Ballarat are in lockdown, and only Melbourne has a curfew. Shepparton was in lockdown but has come out:

Like I said this kind of thing rankles because we had Fathers Day and a birthday this week and my son - who's living in residence and is just a couple of kms away - didn't come over for either because the regs don't contemplate it.

Like i said, they have done nothing wrong or illegal.

Read the rules perhaps there Trout. As i said, they had done nothing wrong, illegal, and have a very valid reason! They have moved from Victoria to NSW. Apology accepted

The path out is weeks to months more of lockdown. I suspect that compliance will be waning, and there's an evident indifference to the daily infection numbers, notwithstanding that people are still being tested in large numbers. People have worked out that the projected death numbers are for the unvaccinated and I suspect that there won't be much sympathy.

Normally the unvaccinated will be protected by the vaccinated but that won't be the case this time, since this virus is spreading widely, unlike, say the usual case with a disease like measles, and therefore it's likely that the unvaccinated will get infected this time.

observing what has been happening in the US republican states and in Britain, it is certain that the unvaccinated will be the ones paying the higher price

that said, you are 11 times less certain to die if vaccinated with AZ than not vaccinated

pretty good odds considering

then there is singapore, sigh

.... vaccinated an average of 1,274,899 people per day over the last week.So, 8.9 million last week.

They've been running at 1 million doses per day since mid-June.

Singapore has experienced an increase in cases since moving from an aim of covid zero to relying on vaccinations.

They have also seen a small increase in deaths over the previous month or so but it is nowhere near the level of infections being reported

Unfortunately the choice is to remain covid free and turn off all interaction outside a given government area or accept that there are going to be some deaths from covid.
