Lockdown!
Oh hot snap. Lennox Head is the new Cambria.I'm in an area of low population density, no lockdown, so this does not affect me.

callouses ozzies get from dragging their knuckles on the ground...quite commonWhat's a Cambria, I assume you're not referring to Wales?
Lucky for me I have 3 passports, whenever one's under fire, I swap my allegiance.callouses ozzies get from dragging their knuckles on the ground...quite common
Nz, oz, and ?Lucky for me I have 3 passports, whenever one's under fire, I swap my allegiance.
It has me quite curious.Bill McNeill's 1976 book Plagues and Peoples calls viruses "diseases of civilisation, par excellence" and posits the (obvious) point that a certain density of population is needed for successful viral diseases to propagate.
We are seeing in Australia, where Geography is destiny, that even with tiny viral loads and low disease gradients, how even this is disrupting the very few large urban congregations on the island continent.
So I think the question implicit in Caca's opening post is more pertinent now: what next? Live with a tiny viral load or continue on the path of intermittent, short term lockdowns and remain virus free.
The mans has three different upside down passports?
What about chippies from Cronulla who want to challenge you to swim races across the bay?dont miss surfing w byron hipsters
lock 'em down
Steve should have never challeneged me hahah - i knew i had him when we went to keyhole to start the race and i had speedos on and googles - he had trunks and no googlesThe mans has three different upside down passports?
But our boy knew Cambria is another word for Wales? That's some Cymru sh!t right yonder. I'm claiming EU/UK/UK-member state passport/Welsh is fully nuking. That's how our boy rolls.

ZAF, UK, AUNz, oz, and ?
might be right.It has me quite curious.
To be honest I don't see any solution working out smoothly.
10 million people in Sydney locking down with varying restrictions going in effect in other urban centers.
Loads of restrictions already remaining in place on travel/ability to leave and reenter the country.
Lockdown after lockdown could get tiring for city dwellers.
Any return to normal under the current OZ standard of acceptable infection rates and deaths seemingly hinges on a very high vaccination rate.
I'm no expert but I could see the status quo (or some very similar variation) easily going into 2023 or 2024, as my understanding it's not until 2022 a significant number of the AUS population would be vaccinated (if they can be convinced to do so) and unless there's significant political pressure I can't imagine the government will be quick to ease restrictions.
All the while battling variants.
Highly unlikely.Oz will fail in the long term.
China owns a large chunk of our elites and yours.Highly unlikely.
Geography is destiny.
An island continent full of raw materials on the edge of Asia is likely to continue to prosper as long as the USA lives up to it's security guarantees viz a viz China.
No one is more ungrateful for blood spilt than American politicians. There's a saying, "Whatever is paid-for in blood is given away by Washington." Even if we wanted to help you, our generals are incompetent.And seeing as Australia has sacrificed bodies to back up the USA in all it's ill fated military adventures that guarantee is likely to be upheld.
As a Sydney dweller, you’re spot on imoIt has me quite curious.

That is a great result.Current death toll from Covid 19 in Australia to date for 2021: 0
How many in an ICU: 1.
