Things are pretty normal here in Queensland since March when the virus managed to slip through our hotel quarantine system. We had a short lockdown and a mask mandate for a couple of weeks, that was it. Currently the only active cases in QLD are returned overseas travelers that are already in hotel quarantine.
Australia-wide is a slightly different story. Melbourne has just emerged from a 2 week lockdown to contain an outbreak down there, and there have been other lockdowns around the country here and there, but generally things are pretty good. |
We usually look up to Australia as a good example on how to handle COVID. I was surprised when I saw some Aussie TV comedies, such as The Feed, mocking New South Wales and also Victoria (I think?).
Do you guys still need to wear masks outside though?

Our vaccine roll-out is still way behind a lot of other countries though. Currently only 2.7% of our population is fully vaccinated since the government unapproved the use of the AZ vaccine on anyone under 50 due to the blood clotting thing, and Australia doesn't have the technological ability to make mRNA vaccines on our own soil. |
This is where we're almost doing the right thing: the federal government at first refused vaccine offers from Pfizer and Astra-Zeneca (because the president had a "shadow cabinet" who believed it would be faster and cheaper to infect everyone until we reached herd immunity)... until the governor of São Paulo managed to acquire Coronavac vaccines and had the country back him up. We're also designing our very own jab, called Butanvac. Looks promising.
I think 11% of the population is now fully vaccinated, and 25% had at least one shot... Some states are way ahead (such as São Paulo and other states with governors from the same party), and others are lagging behind (like the Federal District where I live).
Who's getting jabs in Australia? The elderly and health workers?

Nope. The only times that masks were required was two weeks after a short lockdown in January, and two weeks after a short lockdown in March. Even in the heavy three month lockdown last year, masks weren't required in QLD, though of course many wore them anyway, myself included. Only indoors though, not outside in the open.

Anyone over 50 can get an AZ jab. Anyone in a high risk work environment under 50 can get Pfizer, so yeah, health workers, aged care workers, cops etc. I've read in the last few days that QLD is slowly making the Pfizer jab available to 40-49 year olds, so with a bit of fucking luck I'll be able to get vaxxed before the end of the year, because before that it was looking like 2022 at the earliest.

I bought a 3lb bag of m&m peanut at Costco for $12. That was a top 10 purchase lifetime
