He also mentioned to me (one eyed BlueBagger) that he'd read that there are early stage discussions/explorations on how to get a crowd to the grand final of fully vaccinated fans (presumable also tested within a few days of attendance along with isolation after receiving a negative result)! What a message that would send. I don't know any of the details only that the idea has been floated.

If this and other initiatives were explored re opening businesses to fully vaccinated customers it may help out economically in no small measure. Though the opposition to such an initiative would no doubt open the flood gates to all manner of protest, even division. But it also might be the motivation some people need. Interested topic for discussion and what other measures might be put in place to help out folks hurt by extended lockdowns.

-Sure, and your name.
-Cody.
-Great. And do you and your guest have your vaccination cards?
-Hmmm well first..Can you tell us who our server will be?
-Um, looks like Brad will be your server tonight.
-Great. Can you show us Brad's vaccination card?
-Um...
-And also, can you provide me with proof that Brad is not a carrier of HIV, Hepatitis A or B, or any other communicable diseases?  Same for you and the kitchen staff.
-Um...
-Also, we would prefer not to be served by someone who is on or uses recreational drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, meth, fentanyl, etc, so if you could provide us with Brad's most recent tox screen, that would be great. Matter of fact, imma need to see all of your employees medical history.
-Um... Let me get the manager for you.
-That would be great, thanks.  Make sure they have their vax card and medical records please.

Leaving aside mbb's rather peculiar linking of a worthy idea with hypothetical OTT behaviour in order to discredit the original idea, I say anything that can get us closer to normal sooner rather than later is worthwhile. As is always the case, success or failure will reside in the implementation and details.
