CV and mad panic behaviour

[ElwoodBlues1]

I like Bowtell. His opinion is straight to the point and easily understood, unlike so much of the political waffle we have to endure on a daily basis.

I was disturbed to hear on late night news yesterday that bayside suburbs from Elwood to Black Rock had 45 percent of the eligible adult population double vaccinated while suburbs in the north and west currently with the highest covid cases had vaccination rates of the same group at a low 23 percent.

If the current high level of infection is not enough to motivate people in those areas to vaccinate, I don't know what will.

It would seem that the light at the end of the tunnel representing 80 percent double vaccination is diminishing to a pinprick of light.

The wealthier suburbs always have a higher takeup, think its the same story in Sydney too with the west lagging the others.
Lack of education, poor English skills etc due to higher migrant population lead to that poorer understanding of how serious things are. They rely a lot on leadership from the different communities to show the way and the Government need to zero in on those leaders and help them spread the word.
The 80% is a bit of furphy given its 80% of the adult population they are talking about...IMHO it will need to be 70-80% of the entire population including eligible children and thats going to be a hard sell getting parents to agree to getting youngsters jabbed.
