we finally came out of our 6th lockdown!! last Friday evening. the city with the longest lockdown ever.. God love Melbourne, lol!

Some restrictions were lifted as we hit 70% double done, and we could leave our house as often as we wanted, could have 10 people in our house as long as they are double vaxed. restaurants, cafes etc are open to the double vaxed only and a few other things. masks still mandatory outside and inside.

We are still not running out and going wild as we are waiting until our state is 80% double done but we are racing to get to 80% double vaxed by this weekend and then restrictions ease even more. gyms will open, masks outside go, more people in restaurants etc, cinema and theatres open, people can go to the races.. we have the Melbourne Cup in just over a week, and a few more things.

We are aiming for 90% double done for all over the age of 12 by mid November (we are over 90% single done) and then pretty much all restrictions are dropped for those who are double done. Masks only in hospitals/old age home/public transport. everything else is as it was in 2019 BUT only for the double done.

Our premier is not budging on letting those not double done do almost anything. he's a tough one, obviously as he put us in 6 lockdowns and so those who will not vaccinate can't travel/eat in restaurants/go to the pub and many many other things.

We check in with a QR code on our phones that has our vaccine certificate attached to show. We are also now able to download our international vaccine certificates which is fabulous.. now we just have to wait a few more weeks and our international borders will finally be open... after being closed tight for 18 months.

We certainly are still having cases of covid, many, but the majority of them are of unvaccinated people, same with those in hospitals and on ventilators... unvaccinated.

And as soon as we hit 6 months from our second vaccination, we can get our boosters. Roll on end of January 2022 and my whole family will get their boosters. and then.. watch out world, cos here we come!!!
