NSW has just ticked over 90% single dose vaccinated (popn above age 16). Should be 90% fully vaccinated sometime early-mid November (age 12 & above), about the time the A League kicks off.
ACT a very impressive 95% single dose vaccinated. VIC currently at 85% single dose. Yes Covid cases are getting high in VIC, but eventually new case numbers will fall as they did in NSW, as higher vaccine numbers kick in.
SA (72% single dose), WA & QLD (both 70% single dose) continue to lag behind.
But since the Nix men are only playing NSW teams up to Christmas - by when vaccination rates in SA, WA & QLD should be range 80-85% fully vaccinated - I see a real strong chance Nix men can return to Welly early 2022.
If NZ is also in that 80-90% fully vaccinated range by Christmas, and the elimination strategy is in the dustbin, why should vaccinated Australian sports teams be stopped entering NZ for say 2-3 days? If not the TT travel bubble fully reopened for vaccinated travellers?
As I mentioned a month or so back could happen, sounds like the Auckland lockdown is really starting to be unpopular, and folks are starting to disobey/lose patience. Where NZ Govt appear to have dropped the ball badly (to quote a Stuff article today), is not gearing up the ICU capacity around NZ. That appears an obstacle to things opening up in the short term.
