1817 total so far if memory serves me. 7 in Queensland, none in Cairns.
I'm far more worried about Covid now with Delta and opening travel up than I ever was with Alpha even tho I am vaccinated.
Delta is just too infectious and only heavy handed lockdowns keep it corralled....260 days for Melbourne and still not entirely under control.
Too many breakthrough cases and even a mild case would be difficult to handle.
If immune challenged are not afraid they should be and really the damn thing is erratic, so no vaccination can ensure a mild case for anyone. Scot as usual trying to defend the indefensible...Netherlands is nowhere near safe for anyone and is failing as is most of Europe despite high vaccination rates...there is no safety ....only a lower risk of severe disease and that is in no way guaranteed.
I'll take zero thanks.
Partner and I chatted this morning about moving to a once a week grocery shopping if any enters the community. She got her booster this week - I'm not due till next year.
I'll stick entirely to taking lunch with me when riding and stay in the rural areas. It's far far from over including the looming financial consequences.
