I don't reckon being immunised in Australia is going to magically fix the rest of the world and take us back to where we were. The Fed will maintain iron control of the international borders for a while yet.

I think you are right on the money with that sentiment. The next few months will tell whether we are going to avoid another repeat of what we saw in Victoria last winter but even if we avoid another major outbreak, the reality is that global case numbers continue to rise in real terms with all of the last 13 days (including weekends) being above the 90th percentile and 4 of the last 10 days setting new record highs.

Two problems with that. (1) They have to keep it up for the rest of the season; and (2) we need to avoid another major lockdown.
I wouldn't be putting money on either.
