Will caravaning and covid go hand in hand in future .The Feds and some medical experts are saying all states are going to have to open up when 80% of people full vaccinated Also stating restrictions ie masks,distancing,lockdowns,could go on for years.This means areas and states with no virus are going to have it arrive.!I countries with high vac rates eg UK,Israel are still getting increasing numbers of very sick people entering hospitals,plus death rates still a worry. Bare in mind in many cases covid has much worse symptoms than the worst flu.I spent 8 plus weeks recently in Qld where cpks and free camps were overflowing.!Very few people took any notice of qr regs,distance and mask requirements.Will vaccinated people only be allowed into cpks.?Will My wife and I be happy going into cpks if covid is around the corner,no.
Would we travel around Qld if covid was rife ,no.To many half wit disbelievers now. Would I put a deposit on a new van to be delivered in a years time,No. So many ifs and buts re opening up areas. What are your views.?
Some tough calls to be made by everyone, Fed pollies, state pollies, medicos and businesses. All decisions will affect somebody, no matter how you think. NSW has now let it run free hoping to get it over and done with, despite the increasing numbers of sick and deaths, Vic has now thrown in the towel as now unable to control spread, Queensland is hanging in there and making some harsh decisions regarding quarantine, while WA definitely does not want any covid entering that state. NT and Tas are maintaining tough borders. No country areas want unknown people from Covid hot spots coming and going through their area but need them to keep places alive and businesses to be able to survive. Tough times ahead!!
No smart answers here. Would people accept Covid vaccination as passports and their ticket to move around and how would that be checked and enforced???
I can hear the screams of those already who don't want to be vaccinated who would complain that their freedoms and rights are being taken from them. What about OUR freedoms who get vaccinated and do the right thing??? Why should we suffer and be restricted because some idiots don't want to be part of the team which will benefit all of us?
Fortunately, I can still travel around within Queensland, but I had intended to tour NSW and Vic, let alone get into SA. And I have run the gauntlet by flying in and out of Tas earlier this year but had to miss Melbourne in both directions. Although wife and I are fully vaccinated , it is the fear of being "trapped" for days, weeks and maybe months a long way from home that prevents us form travelling too far. Shame.
