NZ has a population of bout 4.5 million, of which according to friends in Tauranga about 30% have been vaccinated.
Oz has a population of about 25.6 million with about 11.4 million had at least one shot.

NZ PM said last week, 'we need to get a bit of a move on with the vaccination program'

Biggest hold up for both nations was the EU and their ban on the export of vaccines to them.
But that has now been removed and Pfizer coming into Oz at the rate of about 1 million a week.

There was an article on the gov web site last week indicating that international borders to a number of countries, mainly those considered to be fully vaccinated will take place from April 1st. 2022.

As we are due a Feral Erection by no later than May 2022 it is quite feseable.

Just announced, daily Vaccination rate here in Oz running at about 185,000 per day.

There in lies the problem John, most of the WOKERS most likely never went to school so no difference to them.

But the question remains what exactly does WOKE mean?
Obviously a logo or some idealogical syndrome that only they know about.

Reminds me of a similar one I attempted to start when in the pubs.
SFHUP
Society for hard up publicans.

Sounds a bit like shut, which is what the WOKERS should do shut up.

As long as the proofreader certificate isn’t the label off a bottle of whisk(e)y , denoting it’s alcohol conrtent. JS.

Donated a small whisky to myself after going **** over tip backwards while raking up some branches, training came to the fore as I slapped my hand down to take the shock, but the best of the best was I fell behind a bush, therefore saving me embarrassment from being seen by the two painters working next door. But it didn't save me from my wife's wrath.

That was the old remedy for shock Des , a glass of whiskey and a cigarette if a smoker , and to keep warm. Did you follow up by going back to bed with the bottle of whiskey.? You can’t beat the old remedy’s . These new fangled ideas come no where near to solving the problem. JS
