India retained the Border-Gavaskar 2-1 after winning a thrilling fourth Test at the Gabba, where Australia had not been beaten since 1988. It is the 'Gabbatoir' no more thanks to Ajinkya Rahane's indomitable 'B-team', unrecognisable from India's first-choice side due to injuries and absences. Still,...

Hope springs eternal.

was sorely missed
pity not just odd posts

Just love the hope
Aussie Pollie says we aim to have travel by Christmas to so called green countries
ie NZ possible Fiji Solomon New Caledonia Tonga
The hope ( by Christmas )

Good side stepping article

Truth is: only that covid19 has been added to diseases that prohibit entry to Thailand
Entry being the magically word

Got to love the logic
Been in Thailand x years , need a covid test showing negative one would think
Sorry you are positive, off you go to the airport bye bye no extension

That goes with no prostitution
No corruption
Safe roads
And best of all democracy

Ozzie prediction on travel this year

Australia’s top health chief has dashed hopes that the rollout of the vaccine will allow people to travel overseas this year, predicting borders will remain closed until 2022.

Seems Prayut has taken notice and does not want Thais to be guinea pigs
Since the start of mass vaccinations Norway is not the only country to report vaccinated deaths
Still to be determined what caused premature deaths of old folks

This is a first i have praise for the man Thailand’s PM is saying he won’t let Thai people become vaccine “guinea pigs” in his Facebook post today as he points to reports of serious negative side effects that some people have suffered after getting jabbed with the Covid-19 vaccine. Instead, PM Prayu...

Yes jack people die
This 29 deaths are being blamed on reaction to vaccine given
Approx 0 .1% of people injected with the vaccine have died
Not a good start where trying to protect the most at risk

Twenty-three elderly Norwegian people died after receiving Pfizer vaccines. Thirteen of them have been assessed and common side effects may have contributed to severe reactions in them, according to the Norwegian Medicines Agency. Norway is a small Northern European country and only about 25,000 peo...

What is my unfounded assumption
Pagolin just as probable as bats which you assumed
We live with chickens, pigs for millenniums without transfer, then something mutates
Just as all those minks had to be slaughtered as transfer happened

There are a lot of animals which can carry covid just like the flu You seem to be deliberately missing the point that virologists state that covid19 and influenza are completely different in the mutation rate have completely different base types that influenza has a large old pool of mutations and ...

So the whole covid story is as clear as mud
ie plenty of important facts or stats unknown

AS for covid19 it may be eliminated but 19 will change to 21 or more which will need vaccinating from just like the flu needs every year Extraordinarily unlikely since it is similar to the first SARS virus in mutation speed. Influenza is nothing like either SARS or COVID-19, influenza has large ani...

So a vaccinated person can carry the virus to areas unvaccinated
That means there is no way the quarantine will stop in the near future
Re look at whole problem next year (2022)

for immunity passports to be viable we still need to confirm two vital pieces of data:
How long does immunity last?
And, can a vaccinated traveller still asymptomatically spread the virus to others?

Answers to both questions at present are dont know , wait and see
