Omicron still not fully understood - is transmission faster, does it reduce vaccine efficacy, is it as hard to mitigate outbreaks Delta? Until +90% vacc coverage of total pop (not just +12yr) quarantine must be supervised for every traveller from every country. Test day-1, 4, 5.

Australia has somehow raced ahead most countries in vaxx rates for those 12yr+. We’ve literally maxed out. The anti-vaxxers are what’s left. So what? Quarantine forever? You go do the 14 days, for $3k, fully vaxxed, and 6x tested negative and come back to those of us who have.

BREAKING: Chairwoman of South African Medical Association says so far those infected with Omicron variant have been having 'sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two', without loss of taste or smell.

We can always rely on Mary-Lousis to whip up fear and panic.

I’m sure when we get to 90% of the total population (which no other country has even come close to), you’ll switch to 95%…

Trying to move the goalposts yet again. Once again, Australians overseas will get shafted…

and why not test on days 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 and 14? I’m sure you’d then move the goalposts again, and say everybody should be tested on days 15,16,17,18,19,20 and 21! Do you have any idea of how onerous and expensive 14 days of hotel quarantine really is?

If it really is so deadly, I think you should stay locked in your house forever. Probably best if you never tweet again either, can’t have any possibility of seeing how bad it is x

Also mixed messages (confusing info?) regarding its severity... And incidence among vaxxed vs unvaxxed cases...
Still waiting for news of vaccine for 5-11 yrs. Why no word yet as to when we can protect our vulnerable children?

So glad you’re here
