Was a question regarding whether the hangover from suppression measures, will complicate "living with it", and how that will effect FIFO operations, and by extension LYC.
"delaying the opening until a significant proportion of the school kids are jabbed - as that will very likely help to prevent the transmission around the State" No disrespect, but i don't think you have a firm understanding of the current vaccines, and reduction in transmission effectiveness. See here: https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/vaccine-effectiveness-goes-down-the Reduction in hospitalisation and death, yes. Reduction in transmissibilty, no. This is what no one is talking about, but insisting on mandates.
For context, I am a strong advocate for vaccination in vulnerable populations, and I am heavily involved in the vaccine roll out. But balance needs to occur. If your suggestion is that rapid roll-out of vaccinations will stop any chance of spread, you need re-education. Generally speaking, eastern states have higher rates of vaccination than WA, and much earlier than the WA. How do you explain spread? This is coming for WA, regardless if you are quadrupal vaxxed.
Again, no disrespect. But if you think a mandate makes vaccines more effective, I can't agree. Which is my concern with the WA approach, hence my original post.
Back to my point. Clearly you think McGowan has saved the day, but times will change very rapidly once borders open. Percentage of vaccinated will not influence spread, as clearly demonstrated in the east. My fear is that this Gov is not cognisant of this, or is deliberately misleading the population. (As all states have) Will the policy settings of the WA Gov effect LYC? The 5 biggest miners in WA have declined to comment. Why?
PS: LYC holder since 2008. Still holding. Still believe. My question was around trading opportunity.
