No country or region is going to open up and burn the local health system so 20-somethings can go back to the monster rave, or industry sweat shops can refill with children, it's not going to happen. So the world better get it's head around the future!

I agree. Gladys and Dan know what is coming but they have to keep the truth from the majority of the population who cannot or will not accept the terrible toll which will continue to be exacted by this pandemic on health and businesses.
The majority view seems to be that when we reach 80% double vaccination of the over 16 population, which equates to approximately 53% of the total population, we will be back to a pre pandemic lifestyle with a few restrictions, as yet not outlined.
Look no further than Singapore for a reality check. With a population of 5.5 million and with over 80% of their total population vaccinated, two days ago they had 500 cases a day and expect to be up around 2,000 cases a day within two weeks.
An epidemiologist in WA today said that if that state were to open its borders with an 80% vaccination rate of the over 16 population, his projections showed that within a very short time WA Health would be overwhelmed by approx 240,000 cases.
We do need to get our heads around the future.
