What brand? And how long do you spend on social media talking down its competition?

Based on what we're hearing at the government level, I wouldn't rule out a tentative attempt at opening up from 2H 2022 after the "completion" of a booster rollout midyear... but I would pretty much rule out anything more than some limited exceptions before then. From a Japan perspective, the...

Spoken like a rich cough.

Seems like an uncharitable and ad hominem take on someone who’s only trying to describe a corporate reality over which they personally have no control whatsoever.

QF is clearly hoping they can hold onto their peak-period revenue for as long as possible despite having no realistic prospect of operating the flights.

I’m trying to imagine a scenario in which any level of Australian government says “There’s a booster on the way that will cope with at least some of the more concerning variants, but sure, let’s open up before we take it.” And struggling. Switzerland has just ordered theirs… where will...

*would* be packed…

It's a very reasonable prediction given what is an obvious setback in Singapore (albeit a trivial one in the big scheme of things) and the Australian government's demonstrated (lack of) appetite for risk. I think a good question in the context of this thread is whether the currently available...

"Either... Or..." There's that binary thinking again. You really do seem to struggle with nuance. I wonder whether mortality and other outcomes might potentially be worse in an emerging economy with a completely overwhelmed healthcare system? Australia is winning itself no friends in the...

Yeah, that's not going to happen.

Yes. Allowing for different degrees of "citizenship" would be too slippery a slope.

Our current working assumption is that Japan will be open to the UK and US from January or February 2022. So Australia will have some decisions to make...

Perhaps not, given that your ‘analysis’ is completely demented to put it kindly.

F is bookable from April 1.

What’s that whistling? Is there such a creature as a weasel dog?

Problem with "informed choice" is that choices are often informed by innumerate ignorance. And then politicians start to pander to it. QED.

Oh, didn’t realise you were advising the UK government as well 🤪

And the current rollout is unlikely to be enough since a booster against variants will be the general standard as of early 2022.

Wait long enough and by that criterion *no* vaccine will be acceptable. If the US pause lasts more than a few days it will end up being a net killer. But don’t let that get in the way of taking a cheap shot. I see below that you’re surprised to learn that the vaccines stop people getting...

That’s your characterisation, not what he actually said. They’ve always been factoring in a buffer after the vaccination rollout is complete... that is at least likely to be shorter the later it is given that Australia will once again be able to observe what happens elsewhere first.
