Thanks to Gladys they were spurred on by 10 deaths a day. Thanks to Morrison they got priority on vaccine deliveries, as he was forced to scour the earth for Pfizer just about to expire, since he couldn't be bothered to actually buy any when it was on offer.

 

Did you mean NSW residents or Sydney residents? Because Sydney residents are still barred from entering certain NSW regional areas due to low vaccination rates.

 

The unvaccinated include people who have a compromised immune system and children under 12. Children 12-16 only just very recently being allowed to receive Pfizer. I suppose they are on their own, it's every man, woman and child for themselves.

I was actually surprised to see the low % of doses for quite a few regional areas in NSW. Victoria's mainly have really good numbers of their population vaccinated. Looking at the LGAs with the most double dosed, out of the top 30, only 4 are in the metro area.

We were just discussing that and Rolf pointed out that some areas could be affected by changes in population. He thinks the base data is probably taken from the previous census, not the latest one as those figures probably aren't published yet. So for some areas of Sydney where there was usually a high student population pre-Covid the figures may not be as low in reality. But then there are places like Byron that probably have a high percentage of anti-vaxxers.

We should know later this month as final payment for the first of the remaining Coral cruises will be due around the end of the month.

She has a few hurdles to jump with ICAC.😮

Doesn't seem to phase Dan who has similar issues to face. But  by Gladys standards he should have resigned too.

According to an article in this mornings paper us double vaccers, and others, can expect to get Covid but only be lightly effected, this will apparently strengthen our resistance to it.

Not everyone who gets covid after being double vaxxed will only be, as you say, lightly affected. Don't count on it being mild - especially for anyone over 60 or with any pre-existing illness, it can be very bad and even fatal. We will all need to keep protecting ourselves with masks and distancing and avoiding those we know are not vaccinated.

 

I'll be staying well clear of everyone until I have my third dose/booster shot.

Definitely not! And although I have seen it snow in the South Island at New Year (many years ago in Queenstown) the is usually very little snow to be seen during the cruise season, just on the glaciers visible from Milford Sound.

I remember sitting at a pool party listening to the Caribbean band.

And a woman ,who definitely wasn’t Barbie .Sat down and started talking.

I was polite,even when the son asked me if I was his new daddy.

We talked for about 15 minutes even though one of her boobs was hanging out , I chatted away.

But when I saw needle marks on her arm , I suddenly released I was late for a meeting.

Did she look a bit like this Chilli?  One of the 'Beautiful People' as seen on Royal Caribbean International Line, lol. Uh Oh, I had better tone it down a bit, this is a Family channel, we don't want to scare the kiddies lol, they will never want to go on another cruise.
