  1. The federal government has nothing to do with testing other than paying for half of it. I watched QLDs treasurer give part of the covid update for boxing day I think it was and QLD has a budget deficit of about $ 1.5 Billion and he took a jab at NSW saying that they have a $20 Billion deficit. So my guess because your budget position is really bad they are taking short cuts out of desperation which unfortunately compounds problems, seen this play out in many countries around the world. NSW does have a very high vaccination rate so should be ok but things may not go smoothly. Hope you recover no problems, take care.

  2. I think wait a bit, once Omicron starts to spread they will get large case numbers.

  3.  @JOE-DAN  they would be in cars so no problems, plenty of social distancing.

  4. It should calm down after holidays but yes not so good for the "open" borders. Hopefully QLD will accept the much less reliable rapid tests, full opening up even though risky has to happen eventually.

  5. The problem is 25% is still Delta, if Omicron fully takes over then that's great. Hopefully we don't get another bad variant or at least not too soon and large numbers gaining extra immunity from Omicron.
