    I wanted to take home a Mini when I was down in New Zealand back in the 70-80's, really hard to do.

    What has kept us mostly Covid free has been lockdowns and masks - the combination plus aggressive contact tracing means that we have been able to contain outbreaks

    Every business has a QR code and you simply point your phone camera at the code the app ones up you click on check in and you are done. Contact tracing is the key

    Why not just admit that the 2019 tourist figures you quoted are completely irrelevant to the virus figures seen in 2020? I presume you know that international travel was for all of sense of purposes banned in 2020?

    Guess I have nobody to blame but Biden and Pelosi now: "Initially, the emergency ban was supposed to be lifted by March 17, 2021, but the country’s Health Minister Greg Hunt said in a statement on March 2, that the period will be extended until June 17. Now, however, Australia’s Finance Minister Simon Birmingham has said that the country’s borders are unlikely to open until the middle or end of 2022." Australia won’t reopen to international travel until 2022 (msn.com)

    Yep, but not for us, and not now either under Biden, so blame him...

    "us" are not international tourists. Florida is showing the huge daily case rises, not other states

    We are still getting overseas visitors but they have to quarantine for two weeks. Once we get the vacccine rate up though we will be opening up again just the rollout has had the same slow downs as America and for much the same disinformation

    Daily case rises of a variant that did not start here, but was brought in from outside, something that could easily be stopped in Australia's Island policy. We gave the vaccine to the really old first, because of all the retirees here, so Kamala Harris got it before I could. Just wait, California is next...

    The problem with Florida is the really low uptake of the vaccine primarily due to the words from DeSantis. There are plenty of doses available to those who are willing to take it.

    Quote those words immediately, with link, until I see them I call ABSOLUTE BULL...

    A preexisting condition, that list was quite narrow, or being older than Kamala Harris is why Floridians were being ARRESTED for lying about their age. Where I am people over 65 were camping out at the first site to give the vaccine, and ran out, but Kamala Harris already had her shot long before I could legally get it.
