I've noticed old people seem to be the worst for wearing their masks properly. The amount of noses I can see from old people. Do they somehow think they cannot breathe anything in through their noses?? Don't they realise they are the most at risk.
Yesterday I had to go for an MRI (1st time I've had one that was weird AF) and mostly the younger people in the hospital were doing the right thing, checking in, wearing masks properly. The older either don't have phones or refuse to check in (making it hard for contact tracers if it does break out) and as I said, don't wear their masks correctly.
couple of things i'm hearing off the grapevine:
1. potential 3-day lockdown to be announced later today, but it depends on test results that flow through in the coming hours (4-6 more cases cases will confirm a lockdown and we already know of 2).
2. VIC Govt looking at restricting access to non-vaccinated people from entering premises at some point (around October).

What's the vaccination rate state by state?
Heard a stat on the radio this morning on the way to work, that TAS now has passed 50% vaccination rate for the first shot. Public health officials down here indicating 80% fully vaccinated by November in the island state at current rates. Is that pretty close to the overall average around the country?

Same, a good percentage of Vic's not following rules at all and it only takes a few to set things snowballing unfortunately

It's all about vaccinations now. Only way out of this hell hole the country is in.
Still only near 20% of the country fully vaccinated.
When does that shipment of Pfizer arrive?
Roll up..roll up..

Seen plenty of the older generation pushing past check in sites at Coles in ill-fitting masks.
Think they're bullet proof.
That’s always been the case since January 2020.
And our root problem is not people wearing masks. It’s not tradies, older people, border controls, removalists or whatever. They are all just symptoms of our root problem.
Our root problem is Scott Morrison and his terrible government’s inability to get this country vaccinated with any form of expediency and competency.
People need to remember this government’s incredible vaccine failure at the next election and what it’s meant to the country.
Even at 70% vaccinated, we'd be either locked down or overrun. There's no middle ground for long.
People need to stop looking for the finish line. Masks are here for the long haul.

A tad worrying:

Delta expected to push herd immunity threshold above 80 per cent
Dr Anthony Fauci fears the virus is being given “ample” opportunity to morph even further into a deadlier strain that could diminish the effectiveness of vaccines.
We need to be aiming for 80% and at least 95% of people older than 70
Currently trending to around Christmas for 80%.

Problem is that it's going to tail off.
This is correct, but without vaccination there is no way out whatsoever. We still need to open schools, businesses and borders. 80-90% is considered the minimum viable now by most epidemiologists.
The idea that you could just lockdown, close borders and treat vaccination as "low priority" was a farce and we could all see that from January. Well, most of us.
