I've lost touch with the infection rates in Australia. I think it's being steadily maintained and or on a downward trend in most States and Victoria appears to be coming out of it's 'second wave' infection event but also the testing rate is dropping too. So not sure if there's a chicken and egg puzzle happening there or not.
We've got about 40,000 Australians residing over-seas who wish to be repatriated home to Australia and that's going to be a big problem because they all must undergo quarantine. Most States still have the hotel quarantine program running I think and they've capped how many ppl they are prepared to receive creating a bottle-neck. So glad I'm not one of them.
I read that the Oxford vaccine trial, after being paused due to a possible severe adverse medical event by one of the participants, is now back on track. Not sure what the committee (independent) found. It could be that it was determined the participant had received a placebo because these clinical trails are double blind. If that happened the medical event could not be related to receiving the vaccine. Whatever happened, the trial has been resumed. There are now news reports that this same vaccine is going to be produced and made available to the Australian public in the first half of 2021. Idk what I think of that particular report.
