New South Wales now at 94% first dose and 90% second dose. Now down to 244 local Covid cases. Well done to everyone who got vaccinated. A reminder that the noisy anti-vax people here represent a tiny minority.

Lockdowns could have been handled much better, esp in Victoria (which is simply just badly run as a State on all sides), but thanks to Perrottet's national leadership, Australia is slowly reopening, safely, and with a very low loss of life.
The pandemic has been useful as a guide to who was mostly sane vs those who were mostly broken. No issue clarified this more than those who saw their doctor re getting vaccinated - and those who followed utter crankery & very online grifters, and did not.
If I am critical of libertarians etal as, mostly, cranks and weirdos, and paranoids - the employed version of the Greens - this pandemic and the libertarian 'Iverchloroquine' responses are why. The horseshoe theory of politics is, basically, right.
