We don't seem to worry any more if no one has had their polio or chicken pox vaccination, they are allowed to live like normal and in time Covid will be the same and the jab each year will be like a flu shot

The testing numbers are an utter failure, no body can be stuffed with the whole thing anymore, I notice hardly anyone bothers to check in anymore, and the health department will stop listing exposure sites.

The dam has pretty much burst, it's out there now, mainly as a result of incoming eastern staters, might as well just get on with it.

I can see all the restrictions/masks/vaccine checks going out the window by the end of the year..

Yeah its already going that way in many other countries -

COVID-19 cases rise every day in Denmark, but the country is confident it can live without restrictions for now - ABC News

Yep watched the report on Denmark the other day, they have very high booster rates and that's go them through, pretty much everything is back to normal except hospitals and nursing homes.

The women runing the covid response there says dont do it until you get to 80% third shot at least.

Denmark are 61% third shot atm

The west now spruking the 4th jab. 

For the vulnerable and elderly  TFAF......I guess one way to appease and address the concerns of those minority populations..... the majority obviously want to move forward, and fair enough....like the flu jab, an annual COVID  jab will no doubt become the norm if folk want it.....

Sounding like 5th of March, not that is bothers me.

Mcgowans polling is tanking as well, so i would say its pretty certain to happen soon.
